Timur Laut police chief Abdul Rozak Muhammad said the 30-year-old cop on duty detained the duo at 4.30pm after they were found acting suspiciously outside the gates of the Penang police headquarters. The two suspects, aged 19 and 20, were believed to be drunk and were brought to the guard post for further checks, he said. 'After they were brought to the guard post, the suspects began acting aggressively, punching the face and biting the chest of the policeman, leaving him with a swollen right eye and bruises on his chest. 'The suspects also hurled vulgarities at the cop. They were then arrested,' he said in a statement, adding that the youths had been remanded until Wednesday for further investigation. The case is being probed for voluntarily causing hurt and using insulting words with the intent of provoking a breach of the peace, under Section 323 of the Penal Code and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act, respectively.

Pay up or risk losing your units, Penang warns strata owners with RM12.5m in unpaid parcel rent
GEORGE TOWN, June 15 — Penang recorded RM12.5 million in parcel rent arrears involving more than 70,000 strata parcels as of June 1, according to State Land and Mines Office director Dr Faizal Kamarudin. He said the majority of the arrears dated back to 2019, when parcel rent payments were first introduced for strata development schemes in the state. Faizal said the Timur Laut district recorded the highest amount of arrears, involving 32,000 accounts. 'Failure to pay the arrears immediately may result in the issuance of a Notice of Demand via Form 11 under the Strata Titles Act 1985 to the parcel owners involved,' he said in a statement today. He added that if the strata parcel owner failed to settle the arrears in full within three months from the date the notice was issued, confiscation action could be taken under Section 23 of the same Act. Faizal said the enforcement action could be carried out by the land administrator, and ownership of the strata parcel would be transferred back to the state authority. Therefore, he urged all parcel owners involved to settle their parcel rent arrears immediately to avoid confiscation action. Strata parcel owners with further enquiries may contact the Penang Land and Mines Office or the respective District and Land Offices. — Bernama
