#SHOWBIZ: Sharnaaz Ahmad's stern warning to actors: 'Check IDs before dating fans'
KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Sharnaaz Ahmad, known for his role in Blood Brothers, has urged his fellow actors to be more discerning when meeting or dating female fans.
In a news report yesterday, he advised that if an actor meets or dates a female fan, they should first ask to see her identity card (IC).
"This is to ensure that she isn't underaged, which could land you in serious trouble," Sharnaaz said.
"We can never fully trust a person's word these days; checking their IC is always best."
Sharnaaz added, "These days, we often see younger girls dressing to appear older than they are. Some even falsify their ages."
The Blood Brothers star's comments follow singer-actor Naim Daniel's recent appearance at the Sessions Court in Putrajaya.
Naim, 28, pleaded not guilty to a charge of physical sexual assault involving a 17-year-old girl.
The alleged offence occurred at a hotel in Petaling Jaya at 8.56pm on May 19.
He was charged under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping upon conviction.

MCMC, PDRM Reaffirm Commitment To Combat Online Child Sexual Exploitation
PUTRAJAYA, June 23 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have reiterated their joint commitment to combat the crime of online child sexual exploitation through continuous enforcement and community awareness education. They said in a joint statement today that a total of 1,501 offensive posts involving children were identified up to June 15, 2025, with 94 per cent of them successfully taken down as a result of cooperation with digital platform providers and following public complaints. They added that through special operations, such as "Op Pedo', a total of 13 individuals were arrested and more than 40,000 child sexual abuse material (CSAM) seized from several states. According to the statement, the dissemination, storage or commercialisation of child sexual exploitation content is an offence under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588), which provides for a fine of up to RM1 million, five years' imprisonment or both. At the same time, the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 provides for legal action to be taken against any party who produces, disseminates, buys, sells, shares or possesses such related materials. As a preventive measure, the MCMC has also intensified its Safe Internet Campaign (KIS), which targets students, parents and the community, including an emphasis on the prohibition on the use of social media accounts by children aged below 13. The MCMC and PDRM urged all parties, including parents, educators and internet users, to cooperate in efforts to curb this crime. The public can report any suspicious activities via email to aduanskmm@ the portal or the nearest police station. -- BERNAMA

Court Of Appeal Overturns High Court Order Compelling MACC To Furnish Favourable Facts To Company Director
REGION - CENTRAL > NEWS PUTRAJAYA, June 23 (Bernama) -- The Court of Appeal today overturned a High Court decision that had ordered the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to provide a written statement containing favourable facts to company director Datuk Seri Sim Choo Thiam in relation to four graft charges involving RM15 million. A three-member panel led by Justice Datuk Hashim Hamzah, ruled unanimously that the High Court was wrong in compelling the prosecution to furnish facts that are favourable to the defence. He said the High Court also erred in its decision that Section 51A(1)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) stands on the same legal footing as Section 51 of the CPC. bootstrap slideshow Sitting with Justice Hashim were Justices Datuk Azizul Azmi Adnan and Datuk Faizah Jamaludin. The court allowed the prosecution's appeal to set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the Sessions Court's decision that had rejected Sim's request for the statement. Section 51 pertains to summonses for production of documents or other things, while Section 51A (1) (c) requires the prosecution to provide the accused, prior to trial, with a written statement of any facts that are favourable to the defence. The Sessions Court has fixed June 30 for mention of Sim's graft case. On May 10, 2023, Sim, 55, was charged with allegedly soliciting a RM15 million bribe from Hep Kim Hong, the managing director of Asia Coding Centre Sdn Bhd, through Syed Abu Zafran Syed Ahmad, as an alleged inducement for former minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin to award projects to the company. He was also charged with three counts of accepting RM15 million in bribes from the same individual as an inducement for Hamzah to do similar things. The offences were allegedly committed at two different locations - Shaas Holdings office and a parking lot at Solaris Dutamas, Jalan Dutamas 1, Kuala Lumpur, between June and July 2021.
