The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have come under the spotlight once again following the circulation of a video featuring one of its officers allegedly engaging in inappropriate behaviour. The footage, lasting just over two minutes, shows a lower-ranking officer involved in a lewd conversation with a woman, during which he is heard inviting her either to his house or to a hotel. The video was widely shared on social media, drawing public criticism and raising questions over professional conduct within the force.
According to PDRM, the incident is believed to have taken place in the Ampang Jaya district of Selangor. In response, a disciplinary and criminal investigation has been launched against the officer.
Official Statements and Immediate Response
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ed686b1231310e88c282edac43a7b9eefbc034678cdc9c5d2e424283ef4e00f8" />
Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad, Director of PDRM&rsquo;s Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS), confirmed that the department is actively investigating the case from both disciplinary and supervisory standpoints. He stated that stern action would be taken if the officer&rsquo;s behaviour was found to have violated the law or internal regulations. The department is also reviewing the role of the officer&rsquo;s superiors in overseeing his conduct.
Azri stressed that the police will not tolerate misconduct among its ranks and reminded all officers that they are accountable not just to their superiors, but also to the public they serve.
Separately, Ampang Jaya District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail revealed that the officer in question has already been temporarily relieved of his duties pending the outcome of the investigation.
Dual Investigations Under Penal and Multimedia Laws

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The officer is now being investigated under two key laws. The first is Section 509 of the Penal Code, which deals with words or gestures intended to insult a person&rsquo;s modesty. The second is Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which addresses the misuse of network facilities or services to transmit offensive or indecent content.
In tandem with the criminal investigation, an internal disciplinary process is being carried out to assess breaches of the police code of conduct.
Public Urged to Assist in the Investigation
The police have issued a call for witnesses and members of the public to come forward with any information that may assist in the investigation. Those who can provide relevant details are encouraged to contact the Ampang Jaya District Police Headquarters at 03-4289 7222.
Public reaction to the video has been swift and overwhelmingly negative. Social media users have condemned the officer&rsquo;s conduct, labelling it as disgraceful and a stain on the reputation of the police force. Many called for stronger oversight, transparency, and harsher penalties for officers who misuse their position of authority.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens:

Integrity Issues Plague PDRM Amid Officer Misconduct Scandal
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c0107cb4103f1c63428b01f6199299432f30673010010bba5acb5125c93b8a02" />
The recent viral misconduct case is just the tip of the iceberg for the PDRM, as broader concerns about internal discipline and professionalism continue to mount. Between January and May 2025, 492 officers were subjected to disciplinary action, with 59 dismissed and 146 suspended, according to Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad, Director of PDRM&rsquo;s Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS).
The most common offences were integrity-related violations (333 cases), followed by governance issues (45), drug offences (42), criminal acts (38), syariah breaches (19), and corruption (15). The figures were revealed during Azri&rsquo;s visit to the newly officiated Maran District Police Headquarters, which serves over 115,000 residents.
Public complaints about police misconduct also surged, with 2,637 reports filed in just five months&mdash;1,892 formal complaints and 745 public tips. In response, PDRM launched the Aduan JIPS PDRM app, offering a more transparent platform for the public to report wrongdoing.
End of a Career and a Call for Reform
Azri&rsquo;s remarks came as part of his final tour of duty, with his retirement scheduled for 26 June 2025, marking the end of a 37-year career in the police service. His departure comes at a pivotal moment, as PDRM faces mounting pressure to reform and rebuild trust with the public.
While the current case may involve a single officer, it has highlighted systemic concerns around supervision, discipline, and the need for continued vigilance against abuses of power.
As public trust hangs in the balance, PDRM&rsquo;s response to this case&mdash;and to misconduct more broadly&mdash;may determine how effectively the force can evolve to meet modern standards of accountability and transparency.

PDRM Officer Under Investigation After Inappropriate Remarks Caught In Viral Video

In a striking example of how appearances can be deceiving, two luxury car drivers were recently caught by the Selangor Road Transport Department (JPJ) for driving without valid road tax and insurance. Despite being behind the wheel of a BMW X5 and a Ford Mustang, both drivers claimed they were unable to renew their documents due to financial hardship.
The enforcement operation, Ops Harian, was held on Thursday, 12 June 2025, along the Kajang&ndash;Cheras Expressway, and ran from 2pm to 11pm. The two high-end vehicles were stopped during routine checks, and further inspection revealed they were in breach of road regulations.
Excuses Don&rsquo;t Match the Lifestyle: &ldquo;We Couldn&rsquo;t Afford It&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fbdee992811e8e304b4b807275173071cf379ce939ded5c2df829dcc2ce96d9a" />
According to Selangor JPJ Director Azrin Borhan, the Ford Mustang, driven by a man in his early 30s, was flagged for not having a valid Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM) or insurance. The driver claimed he was unable to renew his road tax due to being blacklisted as a result of multiple outstanding traffic summonses.
The driver of the BMW X5, a man in his 40s, was found to be in even more serious violation &mdash; his vehicle had been driven with an expired road tax for more than a year and without any valid insurance coverage. When asked for an explanation, he too cited financial difficulties as the reason.
Both men stated that although they could afford to purchase luxury cars, they were struggling to maintain legal compliance with basic motoring requirements, such as road tax and insurance.
JPJ: &ldquo;Owning a Luxury Car Does Not Make You Above the Law&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3666431d0bb6eb807001f1a2e8c0b508bf2620364e59dc4118eb5f0be08654f8" />
In response to the violations, both vehicles were immediately seized and taken to the JPJ Shah Alam branch for further investigation and enforcement action.
Azrin Borhan delivered a strong message to the public:
&ldquo;Driving an expensive vehicle is not a licence to break the law. Regardless of income or status, all road users must follow the same regulations. There will be no exceptions for those who own luxury cars.&rdquo;
He also stressed that stern action would be taken against individuals who are found to be negligent or who intentionally ignore their responsibilities as drivers.
A Recurring Issue: Expensive Cars, Missing Paperwork
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/14bcfaebe83b3ae2209ebd9e72a5d502e43cbf2333cd4335b7ded6cc83aaa8cc" />
Cases like this are not new. Authorities have seen a growing number of incidents where owners of high-end vehicles neglect to maintain the basic legal requirements. According to JPJ, many such offenders prioritise luxury aesthetics and brand image over legal compliance and safety obligations &mdash; often at the cost of other road users.
The two vehicles involved in this latest case &mdash; a Ford Mustang and a BMW X5 &mdash; are each worth hundreds of thousands of ringgit in the Malaysian market. The discrepancy between such valuable assets and the drivers&rsquo; claimed inability to pay for legal documents has reignited public concern over irresponsible ownership practices.
JPJ Urges Public to Stay Vigilant and Report Violations
JPJ also encouraged members of the public to report traffic offences through official channels. Those who witness violations or suspect similar offences can lodge a report by emailing aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my or by using the e-Aduan JPJ mobile app. Reports should include sufficient detail and the complainant&rsquo;s contact information to allow for proper follow-up.
Azrin concluded his statement by calling on all motorists to take responsibility for their vehicles and comply with national road safety laws at all times.
&ldquo;Road safety is a shared responsibility. We urge everyone to ensure their vehicles are properly taxed, insured, and maintained. Anyone found to be negligent will face legal consequences.&rdquo;

What’s the point of owning a luxury car when you know you can’t afford it?

Luxury Car Owners Caught Driving Without Road Tax Blame ‘Financial Issues’

1Fit, once celebrated for revolutionising the fitness scene in Malaysia with its flexible and affordable class offerings, has officially announced the end of its operations in the country. The abrupt closure has left users reeling, particularly those who had invested in long-term memberships.
The platform allowed members to access a wide range of workout options&mdash;from Pilates and bouldering to swimming and gym sessions&mdash;under a single subscription plan. For many, it was a cost-effective way to enjoy variety and convenience in their fitness routine. However, in a sudden statement shared via their official social media accounts, 1Fit revealed that it has entered a formal liquidation process due to inadequate funding.
No More Bookings or Membership Access

In the announcement, the company stated that all services had been suspended with immediate effect. Users would no longer be able to make new bookings or purchases, and all existing memberships were now void. The platform also posted a video featuring 1Fit CEO Murat Alikhanov, who confirmed the company&rsquo;s inability to maintain operations despite numerous efforts to sustain the business. He added that users could request refunds via a link provided in their bio, though many have since voiced concerns about the lack of clarity and transparency surrounding the refund timeline.
Consumers Express Frustration Over Timing and Communication
The timing of the announcement and the lack of early warnings have stirred considerable backlash online. Users questioned why 1Fit continued to promote and sell memberships&mdash;some costing upwards of RM2,000&mdash;even in the days leading up to the shutdown. There were also criticisms regarding the platform&rsquo;s use of influencers and fitness ambassadors (KOLs) to attract new sign-ups, potentially while knowing the company was no longer financially viable.
One user commented, &ldquo;It is unacceptable that 1Fit was still pushing RM2K annual plans and asking KOLs to get more people to sign up, while knowing full well they were going to shut down. It shows a complete lack of respect for paying customers.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cde8a10d1910a40587d9398ad6681015ee982c955f8940c3f4343104bfa0ca8f" />
Personal Stories of Loss
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/196038c8de1ae310a78bac92b35671e6d636ec4ed5d76e44e33731161d331982" />
Several members have come forward to share their frustrations and financial losses. A recent subscriber, told that she paid RM2,500 for a 15-month membership after being introduced to 1Fit by a friend. Unfortunately, she only managed to use the platform for 2.5 months before it was shut down.
&ldquo;I was really enjoying the flexibility and the variety of classes. It fit my schedule and lifestyle perfectly. To see it all disappear so suddenly is heartbreaking&mdash;and unfair,&rdquo; she said.
Her friend, a longer-term member, is also affected and has already submitted a refund request, but has yet to receive any confirmation.
The Fitness Community Steps Up
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a0a3b2837f993a99a76d24f30689097f1769ea7eb475b2d2841e711a1dfce350" />
Amid the fallout, many of 1Fit&rsquo;s former partner gyms and studios have chosen to support the affected users rather than turn them away. A growing number of businesses are now offering free trial classes or heavily discounted packages to ex-1Fit members, with some even honouring active memberships for a limited time.
This compassionate response from the fitness industry highlights its resilience and customer-first mindset. It has been especially encouraging for users who suddenly find themselves without access to workouts they had come to rely on.
Lessons in Accountability and Consumer Protection
While 1Fit&rsquo;s liquidation may have been a business decision driven by economic realities, the manner in which it was handled has raised serious questions about consumer protection, transparency, and corporate responsibility. Many are now calling for stronger regulations on subscription-based platforms and more robust safeguards to prevent consumers from being left in the lurch.
With fitness increasingly moving into the digital and app-based space, the 1Fit incident may serve as a cautionary tale for startups and users alike. It underscores the importance of transparency, timely communication, and fair treatment of paying customers&mdash;especially when things go wrong.
What Happens Next?
As affected users wait for further updates on the refund process, the full scale of the impact is still unfolding. Whether refunds will be processed promptly remains unclear, and questions linger about whether legal action may be taken by disgruntled members.
For now, many are left disappointed, financially affected, and wary of future fitness tech offerings. The hope is that this experience will lead to better consumer protections in the digital wellness industry going forward.

Who are SEKAI NO OWARI?

SEKAI NO OWARI&mdash;literally &ldquo;End of the World&rdquo; in Japanese&mdash;is a four-piece pop-rock band whose kaleidoscopic sound and whimsical aesthetics have made them one of Japan&rsquo;s most influential contemporary groups. Formed in Tokyo and major-label&ndash;debuted in 2011, the line-up has remained unchanged: enigmatic front man Fukase (vocals, lyrics), multi-instrumentalist and band leader Nakajin (guitar), classically trained Saori (piano, stage design) and the ever-masked DJ LOVE (turntables, sampling). Their break-through single &ldquo;Starlight Parade&rdquo; lit up domestic charts, but it was 2013&rsquo;s anthemic &ldquo;RPG&rdquo;&mdash;theme for Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-grade Gourmet Survival!!&mdash;that catapulted them into mainstream popularity, earning double-platinum certification and establishing their trademark blend of fairy-tale lyricism and stadium-sized hooks.

The quartet&rsquo;s catalogue is now packed with era-defining hits: the folk-EDM crossover &ldquo;Dragon Night,&rdquo; orchestral ballad &ldquo;Sazanka,&rdquo; and 2022&rsquo;s TikTok-fuelled &ldquo;Habit,&rdquo; which dominated the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for eleven consecutive weeks and captured the Grand Prix (Song of the Year) at the 64th Japan Record Awards. Their music frequently crosses into film and anime: &ldquo;Anti-Hero&rdquo; and &ldquo;SOS&rdquo; bookended the live-action Attack on Titan movies, while &ldquo;RAIN&rdquo; served as the end-theme for Studio Ponoc&rsquo;s animated feature Mary and the Witch&rsquo;s Flower.

SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s albums&mdash;Tree (2015), the twin releases Eye and Lip (2019), and 2023&rsquo;s Habit&mdash;have each topped the Oricon charts, and the group&rsquo;s imaginative arena productions (complete with circus sets and giant inflatable creatures) are regarded as some of the most immersive live experiences in J-pop. Alongside multiple Japan Gold Disc Awards and MTV VMAJ wins, the band has collaborated with Western acts such as Owl City and Epik High and even released English material under the name End of the World, underscoring their global ambitions. With genre-bending singles, award-winning visuals and a devoted fandom that spans generations, SEKAI NO OWARI continue to re-define what a Japanese pop band can be on&mdash;and beyond&mdash;the world stage.
A Full-Sensory Experience: Not Just a Concert
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ace1a03a2e87263a32b170753433d0eac311233b22b9134661e423a7a93eaade" />
Those familiar with SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s previous shows know to expect more than just a musical performance. Renowned for their cinematic visuals, immersive stage designs, and emotionally charged atmospheres, the band creates a multisensory journey that resonates long after the final encore.
Their setlists typically blend heartfelt ballads with electrifying anthems, driven by their unique fusion of J-pop, alternative rock, and electronica. Songs like SOS and Anti-Hero, which featured in the Attack on Titan films, are fan favourites that showcase their emotional storytelling and genre-defying sound.
This tour promises the same dramatic energy and breathtaking visuals that have become synonymous with the group&rsquo;s identity, making it a must-see event for fans across Asia.
A Decade in the Making
SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s return to Southeast Asia has been a long time coming. Their last performance in Malaysia dates back nearly a decade, and fans have waited patiently for another chance to experience their powerful live presence. Since their MTV World Stage appearance, the band has gained international attention under their English moniker End of the World, collaborating with global artists and appearing at major music festivals.
With this tour, they are bringing their global momentum back to Asia, igniting excitement among their dedicated fanbase, known affectionately as S.N.O.W.S.
Stay Tuned for Ticket Sales

SEKAI NO OWARI Returns To Southeast Asia With “Phoenix Asia Tour”

A catastrophic aviation disaster unfolded on Thursday, 12 June, when an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to London crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The crash, which occurred at approximately 1.39pm local time, claimed the lives of more than 240 people, making it the world&rsquo;s worst commercial aviation tragedy in over a decade.

Flight AI171, bound for Gatwick Airport, was carrying 242 individuals, including 217 adults, 11 children, two infants, and a crew of 12. The aircraft plummeted into a residential area, crashing directly into a hostel attached to a medical college in the Meghani Nagar neighbourhood during lunchtime. Among the deceased were hostel residents, including medical students, doctors, and their families.

Only One Survivor Pulled from the Wreckage

In a rare miracle, one passenger survived: a British national of Indian origin named Vishwash Kumar Ramesh. Seated in seat 11A, next to an emergency exit, Ramesh was able to escape the burning wreckage. He sustained multiple injuries but remained conscious and coherent when transported to hospital.
&ldquo;Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,&rdquo; Ramesh told the Hindustan Times from his hospital bed. &ldquo;When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance.&rdquo;
Footage taken after the crash showed Ramesh bloodied and limping as he was helped into an ambulance. Police later confirmed he had managed to jump from the aircraft through the emergency exit, and that he remains the only known survivor.
Devastation on the Ground
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/298db1790fd7f2209c769f3f8698d3987e1a771dd616e16c324d502e2f40f6d4" />
The destruction was not limited to those on board. At least 24 people on the ground perished when the aircraft struck the building. Many others were injured. Witnesses described the crash as sounding like a bomb explosion, and some felt the ground shake as if during an earthquake.
&ldquo;My son is safe, and I have spoken to him,&rdquo; said a woman named Ramila, whose son had just returned to the hostel for lunch. &ldquo;He jumped from the second floor, so he suffered some injuries.&rdquo; Another local, Poonam Patni, recounted the horror: &ldquo;When we reached the spot there were several bodies lying around and firefighters were dousing the flames. Many of the bodies were burned.&rdquo;
Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among the victims. Authorities have asked families of the deceased to provide DNA samples for identification due to the severe burns suffered by many victims.
Cause of Crash Still Unknown
The aircraft had only just departed Ahmedabad&rsquo;s runway when it issued a Mayday call. Moments later, it vanished from radar. CCTV footage showed the plane struggling to climb before falling rapidly and disappearing from view, followed by a massive fireball rising from behind residential buildings.

Air traffic control confirmed the Dreamliner took off at 1.39pm and lost contact shortly after. The flight tracking website Flightradar24 reported that the plane&rsquo;s signal was lost less than a minute after take-off. Notably, video analysis suggested the landing gear was still down, which aviation experts noted as unusual for that stage of flight.
US aerospace safety consultant Anthony Brickhouse remarked: &ldquo;If you didn&rsquo;t know what was happening, you&rsquo;d think the plane was on approach, not take-off.&rdquo; The exact cause remains unknown, but mechanical failure or pilot error has not been ruled out.
First Crash for Boeing 787 Dreamliner
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7ac4aab4d12e1ad863baeb5b20fea9bf77a079ca63965bb06f8176a0d97e8509" />
This crash marks the first-ever fatal accident involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner since the aircraft entered commercial service in 2011. The specific aircraft involved, registered as VT-ANB, had been delivered to Air India in January 2014 and first flown in 2013.
The Dreamliner had a reputation for being one of the safest wide-body jets, adding further shock to the tragedy. Boeing has since dispatched a team of experts to assist with the investigation, which is being led by India&rsquo;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).
Worldwide Response and Support
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d2cd490d60a3b48ab94fde26bbdc156ea79cd5bafa6245d7d5ffc1f24fe980ef" /> Left: Campbell Wilson ; Right: Narendra Modi
In the aftermath, Air India and its parent company Tata Group expressed deep sorrow. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson called it a &ldquo;devastating incident,&rdquo; while Tata pledged ₹1 crore (approximately &pound;86,000) in compensation for each victim&rsquo;s family. They also committed to covering all medical expenses for the injured and pledged support in rebuilding the medical college hostel.
International leaders extended condolences. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the incident as &ldquo;heartbreaking beyond words.&rdquo; UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the images &ldquo;devastating,&rdquo; and King Charles was said to be closely following developments. US President Donald Trump described the incident as &ldquo;terrible,&rdquo; while British authorities confirmed they were working with Indian counterparts to support affected families.
Three of the British victims were identified as Akeel Nanabawa, his wife Hannaa, and their young daughter, Sara. Gatwick Airport has set up a special reception centre for relatives of passengers.
Investigation Underway
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c210a1c82a8dfe9c642efb61c8b59407a49ae5d537aafba74a9fd9103ab43f50" />
India&rsquo;s Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu announced that a high-level committee of experts has been formed to conduct a comprehensive investigation. The aircraft&rsquo;s black box and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered, and data from these will be crucial in determining the crash's cause.
GE Aerospace, the maker of the plane&rsquo;s engines, has also sent a team to India to assist in analysing the flight and cockpit data. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working closely with Boeing and GE, while the UK&rsquo;s Foreign Office is providing consular support to affected families.
A Community in Mourning
The tragedy has left the city of Ahmedabad in mourning, with vigils being held outside hospitals and homes of the deceased. Scenes of relatives awaiting news or identification at the city&rsquo;s morgues underscore the profound human cost of the crash.
The incident has also reignited scrutiny over aircraft safety and airline maintenance standards, as many families question how such a devastating failure could occur so soon after take-off.
As investigators begin the difficult task of piecing together what went wrong, the sole survivor&rsquo;s story remains a haunting testament to the tragedy&mdash;and a symbol of hope amidst overwhelming loss.
