Photographer's Car Damaged By Explosion Debris While Covering Fire In Masai, Johor
By Nur Fatin Mohmad Kadenen JOHOR BAHRU, June 21 (Bernama) -- A car belonging to a photographer from the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) was damaged after being hit by explosion debris while he was covering a fire at a lorry and engine oil storage facility at Jalan Cenderai 27, Taman Kota Puteri, Masai, here today. Mohd Hilmizudin Daud, 34, who is based at the Johor Bureau, did not expect that debris from the explosion would damage his Perodua Kelisa, which was parked about 100 metres from the scene. He said the debris broke the left-side wing mirror and left dents and scratches on the same side of the car. Mohd Hilmizudin, a father of one who is expecting a second child in early July, said he had no choice but to come to terms with the damage to the car that had been his faithful companion on countless assignments for the past three years. 'I only realised my car was damaged around 7 pm after I had completed my assignment. While I was shooting, there were many explosions and barrels even flew into the air, which I managed to capture. 'When I reached my car and started the engine to reverse, I noticed the left wing mirror was missing. Initially, I thought it had been folded back because someone might have leaned against the car,' he told Bernama. Mohd Hilmizudin said he had rushed to the scene with his colleague, reporter Nur Fadhliana Shaari, at around 2 pm after being informed of the incident. He was relieved that they were not injured while at the scene. 'This is the first time something like this has happened in my 11 years as a Bernama photographer.

Over 10,000 offenders rehabilitated through community service from 2008 to 2024
KUCHING: A total of 10,522 cases nationwide were imposed with Community Service Orders (CSOs) from 2008 to 2024, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri. She said that of the total, 8,125 cases involved young offenders, 2,163 involved child offenders and 234 involved adult offenders. Nancy said the cases involved various offences, with the maximum CSO period imposed being 240 hours. "We've all made mistakes. "The difference is that not everyone is given a second chance, but through CSOs, we provide individuals undergoing them with the opportunity to improve themselves. "CSOs are not just alternative punishments – they serve as a space for recovery. "They help rebuild self-confidence, reshape identity, and provide a second chance to return as better members of society," she said at the Community Service Order awareness programme here today. Nancy said a study conducted by Universiti Utara Malaysia found that CSOs had a positive impact on offenders' attitudes, emotions and social integration. –Bernama
