Meanwhile, the Beaufort District Council is urged to take immediate action to trap and remove stray dogs roaming around Kampung Brunei following incidents of aggressive behaviour. Village head Ag Tali Ismail shared an alarming incident involved a child who was chased and nearly bitten by a stray dog. Ag Tali expressed concern over the growing number of stray dogs in the village, warning that if left unchecked, the situation could worsen and disturb the peace of the community.

He said the dogs' frequent barking during the night and early morning hours had disrupted residents' rest. Ag Tali said while some villagers might consider killing the dogs, such actions would violate the law. He urged the district council, in collaboration with the Veterinary Department, to create a designated facility for the captured animals. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

New ‘Edisi Siasat 2.0' cannot be accessed

KUALA LUMPUR: The Telegram channel of 'Edisi Siasat 2.0', which was created after the 'Edisi Siasat' and 'Edisi Khas' channels were blocked yesterday, is now also inaccessible to users of the platform. A Bernama check of the channel found that a warning displayed, saying 'This channel can't be displayed because it violated local laws (Malaysia)' and all content on the channel had also been deleted. Yesterday, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) filed a civil action against two channels on the Telegram platform, namely 'Edisi Siasat' and 'Edisi Khas', rendering the two channels inaccessible on the same evening. However, at 8 pm on the same day, Bernama's check of the platform found that a new account using the name 'Edisi Siasat 2.0' had been created, gaining over 100,000 followers before it was blocked. MCMC said in a statement that the action is the first of its kind taken against a social media platform provider, especially since Telegram holds an Application Service (Class ) [ASP(C)] licence. Both channels were construed as spreading content that violated provisions under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which has the potential to erode trust in (public) institutions and affect public order.

Armed men on motorbikes kill 34 Niger soldiers, ministry says

NIAMEY (Reuters) -Several hundred armed men, many on motorbikes, attacked a Niger army base near the border with Mali, leaving at least 34 soldiers dead and 14 wounded, the Defence Ministry said. The attackers - described as "mercenaries" by the ministry - used eight vehicles and more than 200 motorbikes in the raid on the base in Bani-bangou on Thursday, according to the statement read out on state TV. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack on the army base in a statement on its Telegram channel on Friday. Niger, like other countries in West Africa's Sahel region, is battling Islamist militants linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State. Troops carried out aerial and ground search operations to secure the area after the attack, the ministry said without going into more detail on the assault.
