| Young Crocs fall to <b>Sabah</b> in lacklustre encounter – BorneoPost <b>...</b> Posted: 26 May 2014 10:48 AM PDT ARAU: Sarawak have to wait until their next match against Perlis tomorrow (May 28) to know their fate in this year's Sukma football competition. This was because they were beaten 0-1 by defending champions Sabah yesterday. It was the second group match for the Young Crocs who had earlier beaten Pahang 3-1. Sabah did not look like the team which took 2012 Sukma gold despite retaining most of their players from two years ago. It was a shaky performance by Sabah yesterday despite them having to win badly to keep their hopes of defending their gold medal alive. The slim victory, with the solitary goal coming in the dying minutes of the match, may be attributed to Sabah's greater experience and Sarawak's poor finishing. Sarawak coach Johnny Dominicus was philosophical despite the loss. "I am never prepared to lose any match against any team competing in this year's Sukma … but if we lose, we must lose with dignity like we did against Sabah today," he said. The journey ahead for the Young Crocs will now depend on their next match against Perlis and Sabah's tie against Pahang tomorrow. The top two teams in the group will move on to the quarter-finals. Yesterday's match was played at the Perlis UiTM Rani Football Field which is one of the venues for the Sukma football competition.   |
| Lawyer questions witness' testimony at <b>Sabah</b> High Court <b>...</b> Posted: 22 May 2014 11:41 AM PDT KOTA KINABALU: A lawyer defending a Filipino accused of being a terrorist questioned a prosecution witness at the High Court here yesterday as to how his client's identity card (IC) could be among personal documents found on intruders gunned down by security forces on March 6, 2013. Counsel Datuk N. Sivananthan said Holland Soledad Kalbi was arrested on March 3, 2013, which was three days prior to the incident. "At the time of his arrest, the accused was in possession of his IC," contended counsel. The document initially held by Holland Kalbi who is facing life imprisonment and a fine if convicted, bore the authority, 'Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo (Sabah)'. In the witness box was General Operations Force (GOF) platoon commander ASP Mursalim Mohd Salleh who said he had seized an assortment of 21 Philippine ICs including Holland Kalbi's, at Kampung Tanjung Batu, Lahad Datu following a skirmish with armed intruders. Sivananthan: If that IC belongs to Holland Kalbi, and assuming that he was arrested on March 3, 2013, wouldn't it be strange that you would find the card on March 6, 2013? Mursalim: In my opinion, there is a big possibility that the card was held by somebody else or there could be another person of the same name. Sivananthan: I put it to you that your ability to produce (in court) this card (belonging to Holland) as part of the items you seized was evidence of the fact that the items had been mixed up. Mursalim: I disagree. However, the prosecution's 27th witness agreed with counsel that the accused could not have been involved in the March 6 skirmish if he had been arrested three days earlier. The GOF officer also agreed that it was common for every person to carry their own identification document. Earlier, Mursalim said the 21 ICs were found either in the pockets or wallets of the intruders who had been shot dead. However, he said he could not recall the number of dead bodies that did not have idenfication documents. Thirty accused, comprising 27 Filipinos and three local residents, are being tried in the case, in which some are facing multiple charges of being members of a terrorist group or waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, recruiting members for a terrorist group or willfully harbouring individuals they knew to be members of a terrorist group. They allegedly committed the offences between Feb 12 and April 10 last year. The hearing before Justice Stephen Chung at the Sabah Prisons Department continues today. — Bernama |
