MALAYSIA: Like all dedicated parents, a Malaysian married couple is willing to go to great extremes to ensure the best for their son.

Recently, a video posted by the Malaysian mother went viral on TikTok, with 1.4 million views as of today.

In the video, the wife, known as ‘Madammu’ revealed that when they returned to her husband’s hometown in Terengganu, her husband decided to opt for bottled mineral water instead of tap water for his son’s bath.

Madammu stated in the video caption, playfully, that her husband’s act is over the top before she mentioned that she herself used to bathe using well water in the past.

Madammu then expressed her deep appreciation for her husband’s caring nature, emphasizing that he always prioritizes their child’s well-being.

The video showcases Madammu’s assistant carefully mixing three bottles of mineral water with hot water in a bathtub to create the perfect bath for their child.

Madammu couldn’t help but praise her husband’s extraordinary display of paternal love, stating that such acts are a rare sight to behold.

Comment sections filled with mixed reactions

Some netizens applaud the couple for their thoughtful gesture.

A netizen remarked that the father’s action wasn’t excessive and proposed that he might be trying to protect their son from potential skin infections caused by unclean water.

Madammu replied that the water supply at their place was yellowish when they arrived.

Another netizen suggested they should get a water filter.

Concurrently, certain netizens responded with sarcastic and humorous remarks, mostly due to the reputation of the relatively expensive mineral water brand.

“I bathe my baby with syrup water every day.”

 

“My late father provided me with Starbucks water for my bath.”

Nevertheless, some netizens are coming to the couple’s defense, asserting that their intention was solely to provide the best for their son and highlighting their reluctance to use unclean water for bathing.

A netizen mentioned that they used water filter to get clean water for their baby’s bath.

In a playful comment, another netizen quipped, “My mom would advise me not to bathe at all to save water.”

RSF condemns Malaysian court ruling against British journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown

Malaysia’s Federal Court has dismissed British journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown’s appeal against a defamation ruling, leaving her liable to pay damages exceeding RM 435,000 (US$103,325).

The defamation suit, which RSF (Reporters Without Borders) describes as part of a broader effort to silence journalists reporting on corruption, relates to a statement in Rewcastle Brown’s 2018 book, The Sarawak Report – The Inside Story of the 1MDB Expose.

The journalist has faced legal challenges ever since, including both civil and criminal cases.

Rewcastle Brown, known for exposing Malaysia’s 1MDB financial scandal, was accused of defaming the Sultanah of Terengganu, the wife of a senior political figure.

The defamation suit stems from a misidentification error in the book, which wrongly stated that the Sultanah, rather than the Sultan’s sister, was connected to a businessman involved in the scandal.

Rewcastle Brown quickly corrected the mistake and issued an apology in 2018. Her legal team has argued that the error does not constitute defamation or criminal libel.

The Sultanah had initially sought RM 100 million in general damages, but the court ultimately awarded a much smaller sum of RM 300,000 (US$71,230) in damages, along with RM 135,000 (US$32,095) in legal costs. Additional fees are expected.

The Federal Court’s decision on 10 September 2024 closes Rewcastle Brown’s legal avenues for appeal in the civil case.

Reporters Without Borders has condemned Malaysia’s handling of the case, asserting that it is intended to intimidate other journalists from reporting on corruption.

Fiona O’Brien, UK Bureau Director of RSF, commented: “This case should never have made it to court. The accusations of defamation are nonsensical. The underlying agenda appears to be to silence Rewcastle Brown and warn other Malaysian journalists away from reporting on corruption.”

In a separate criminal case, Rewcastle Brown was sentenced in absentia to two years in prison in February 2024. She continues to appeal the criminal charges but has faced significant challenges in defending herself. The British government has not commented publicly on her case.

RSF also noted that Malaysia, once ranked 73rd in the World Press Freedom Index, has dropped to 107th in 2024, amid rising political instability and a pattern of defamation suits against journalists.

MALAYSIA: In a major crackdown, Malaysian police have arrested several members of Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISBH) top management, including CEO Nasiruddin Ali and his wife.

The arrests were made in a special operation conducted by Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department at multiple locations.

As of 19 September, total of 19 people were detained, including the CEO’s two children and the child of former Al-Arqam leader Ashaari Muhammad.

Among those arrested are 12 men and seven women, aged between 30 and 65.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain confirmed the arrests and promised to provide updates soon.

The arrests come on the heels of a significant child sexual abuse scandal involving GISBH.

Last week, police rescued 402 children from 20 welfare homes linked to the organization in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.

They also arrested 171 people, including an ustaz and a hostel warden.

The case sent shockwaves throughout the country as investigations revealed a horrifying network of child abuse.

At least 13 of the rescued children were allegedly sodomized or taught to sexually assault others.

GISBH initially denied operating the welfare homes and rejected the allegations of abuse.

However, Nasiruddin later admitted that cases of sodomy had occurred within the organization in the past, while denying any deviant teachings.

In a related development, three men linked to GISBH pleaded not guilty in a Seremban court to charges of sexually assaulting boys aged between nine and 11 at a religious school associated with the organisation.

The alleged assaults took place between 2022 and 2023 in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan.

Additionally, another man was charged in Putrajaya for allegedly threatening a woman to withdraw a police report against GISBH.
