KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Two foreign nationals have become the first individuals in Malaysia to be charged in court for littering under the newly enforced anti-littering law, according to a report by The Star.
KOTA BHARU, Feb 19 — The younger brother of a firefighter who drowned at Pantai Kandis was found dead early today at Pantai D’Aur, about 200 metres from where his sibling’s body was recovered yesterday.
The 21-year-old victim, Ahmad Nurruddin Ab Wahab, was located by members of the public at 7.10am, roughly 3.5 kilometres from the area where he was reported missing on Tuesday. Bachok police chief Supt Mohamad Ismail Jamaluddin said the victim was identified at the scene by his father.
He was pronounced dead by medical personnel, and the body was taken to Hospital Pakar Universiti Sains Malaysia for a post-mortem.
His elder brother, Ahmad Badrul Naim Ab Wahab, 32, a firefighter, had been found at 12.52pm yesterday. The two were believed to have been at the beach for a picnic with about 20 relatives from Pasir Puteh.
Following the recovery of both bodies, the multi-agency search and rescue operation was officially ended at 9.30am today. — Bernama
