KUALA TERENGGANU: Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah di sini, yang mendengar perbicaraan permohonan pengesahan akad nikah sepasang suami isteri semalam, dimaklumkan surat nikah pasangan itu dikeluarkan sendiri pengantin lelaki.

Ketika disoal Hakim Shaikh Ahmad Ismail, pemohon, Syahima Edayu Akma Mohd Alwi, 17, memberitahu mahkamah dia mengetahui mengenai surat itu sebelum majlis akad nikah dan menurunkan tanda tangan selepas upacara itu.

Berikut soal jawab Shahima Edayu yang membahasakan dirinya sebagai Ayu dengan Hakim Shaikh Ahmad Ismail.

HAKIM: Siapa buat surat nikah?
AYU: Surat nikah dibuat suami.
HAKIM: Bila?

AYU: Sebelum akad nikah.

HAKIM: Tanda tangan bila?

AYU : Selepas angkat nikah saya turunkan tanda tangan.

HAKIM: Semua nama orang yang tanda tangan dalam surat ada malam itu?

AYU: Ada

HAKIM: Tadi kita ada beritahu suami buat surat nikah, di mana dia taip?

AYU: Suami taip dalam rumah

HAKIM: Kita bernikah pada 14 Januari 2009. Ssebab apa kita nak bernikah?

AYU: Ayu nak lari dari keluarga tak sanggup lagi menanggung perbelanjaan kerana sejak kecil (11 tahun) sayalah yang memberikan perbelanjaan kepada keluarga.

Ketika mendengar penjelasan itu, Shaikh Ahmad terkejut dan tertanya-tanya mengapa dia pula harus menanggung keluarganya sehingga diberitahu wanita berkenaan seorang penyanyi dikir barat dan sudah mempunyai 25 album selain merantau ke seluruh negara mengadakan persembahan.

HAKIM: Apa maksud kita terpaksa menyara keluarga?

AYU: Ayu memberikan wang kepada ibu dan ayah hasil nyanyian dulu ayah menjual ikan, tetapi dia berhenti dan meminta saya menyanyi. Setakat ini saya sudah mengeluarkan 25 album.

HAKIM: Album? Saya tak tahu sangat pasal album ni, tapi ada memaklumkan keluarga hendak kahwin?

AYU: Ada beritahu mak, tapi dia melarang dan memberitahu saya boleh kahwin selepas berusia 20 tahun.

Hakim kemudian bertanyakan mengenai persekolahan pemohon dan dimaklumkan dia hanya hadir ke sekolah separuh daripada kehadiran sepanjang persekolahannya dan akan meminta cuti jika ada persembahan di luar negeri.

Selain Ayu, mahkamah turut memanggil responden, iaitu suaminya, Ahmad Syahrizan Yusof, 29, berasal dari negeri ini yang kemudian mengaku mempunyai seorang isteri dan tiga anak.

Tiga saksi turut dipanggil memberi keterangan bagi membantu mahkamah memutuskan sama ada perkahwinan pasangan itu sah atau sebaliknya dan selepas mendengar semua keterangan, mahkamah memutuskan untuk membuat keputusan Rabu ini pada jam 12 tengah hari.

Gara-gara RM2, penagih sanggup ugut cederakan ibu

Gara-gara RM2, penagih sanggup ugut cederakan ibu

KUALA TERENGGANU - Hanya kerana inginkan wang sebanyak RM2, seorang penagih sanggup mengugut untuk mencederakan ibunya sendiri dengan pisau dalam satu kejadian di Kampung Gong Kijang, di sini.

Perbuatan jahat suspek berumur 33 tahun berlaku pada jam 10 pagi ketika berada di rumah bersama ibu dan kakaknya sebelum bertindak meminta wang.

Timbalan Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah II Terengganu, Superintendan K Manoharan berkata, bagaimanapun berikutan sikap suspek yang sering sahaja meminta wang, ibunya enggan memberikan duit sehingga menimbulkan kemarahannya.

“Tidak puas hati dengan ibunya yang tidak mahu memenuhi kehendaknya, suspek tiba-tiba mengamuk lalu mengacukan pisau terhadap mangsa mengugut untuk mencederakannya,” katanya ketika ditemui Sinar Harian, di pejabatnya, semalam.

Menurut Manoharan, selepas ibu suspek tetap berkeras tidak mahu menyerahkan wang yang diminta walaupun beberapa kali diugut, suspek akhirnya mengalah dan melarikan diri, sementara mangsa tidak mengalami kecederaan.

“Suspek sebelum ini pernah beberapa kali mengambil wang anggota keluarganya, selain mencuri pelbagai barang di rumah untuk dijual semata-mata mahu mendapatkan wang dipercayai membeli dadah.

“Akibat tidak tahan dengan sikap suspek, selain bimbang keselamatan keluarga, abang suspek berumur 34 tahun yang bekerja sebagai pemandu lori membuat laporan di Balai Polis Kuala Terengganu pada jam 9 malam,” katanya.

Menurut Manoharan, kes berkenaan kini disiasat di bawah Seksyen 506 Kanun Keseksaan kerana melakukan ugutan jenayah dan polis masih berusaha mengesan suspek untuk membantu siasatan.- Sinar Harian

Eight-year-old claims stranger bit her private parts


KUALA TERENGGANU: A Year Two pupil has complained that a stranger bit her private parts after offering her candy and showing her pornographic clips while she was waiting for her mother after school yesterday.

The eight-year-old girl related the incident to her mother, who lodged a police report at the Cabang Tiga station.

State CID chief Asst Comm Mohd Fauzi Abduri said the pupil, who attended an evening religious class, told her mother that one “abang” approached her and asked her to watch a lewd clip that was stored in his cellphone.

She was then given a candy and lured to an empty classroom where the man took off her underwear and began to caress and bite her private parts, ACP Mohd Fauzi said.

The girl shrieked before the stranger let her off, he said. A few minutes later, her mother arrived at the school.

ACP Mohd Fauzi said police believed the perpetrator was in his early 20s.

He said the victim was sent to Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah for a medical check-up.

In another case, a bank officer was shocked to discover that nude pictures of her, taken while she was bathing at her in-law’s house, was being widely distributed here.

In her police report, she voiced her disappointment that the picture had been circulated although she had paid RM500 to the peeping Tom to prevent her photo from being released.

The peeping Tom had harassed the bank officer and demanded money from her before handing over a memory card on Jan 21 upon receiving the payment.

However, the 45-year-old woman found out recently that her colleagues had downloaded her picture via Bluetooth from unknown sources. She made a police report yesterday.

E-books to be free,will benefit 23,000 pupils


KUALA TERENGGANU: The promised digital notebooks or e-books for Year Five pupils in the state will be distributed in stages from the end of the month, said Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said.

The first batch of the 15,000 digital notebooks or e-books, which are Internet-enabled, arrived from Taiwan on Tuesday.

“I am optimistic that our education system would be transformed with our pupils now going fully digital. That will ensure that our students keep pace with the globalisation trend,” he said yesterday.

State Education, Higher Learning, Science, Technology and Human Resources committee chairman Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman was at a factory in Gong Badak, near here, yesterday to take a look at the laptops.

Looks good: Ahmad showing the notebooks that the pupils would be using during his visit to the factory in Gong Badak , near Kuala Terengganu Wednesday.

Ahmad said the e-book project was part of the state government’s aim at providing quality education, adding that it would also reduce the burden of heavy schoolbags for the children.

“The e-books will be distributed free of charge to the pupils and we hope to cover the entire primary level in the next few years,” he added. “There are about 23,000 pupils in the state who will benefit from the e-book project.”

The first group of Year Five pupils will be able to access education-related portals and archives online when the laptops are handed to them by end of the month.

Although the first batch of laptops were procured from Taiwan, the state government would place the subsequent orders from a local assembler, Intel Electronic, Ahmad said.

The Gong Badak factory is projected to produce 10,000 units a month while the state has commissioned some 100 graduates in the field of information technology to coach schoolchildren and teachers on using the e-books.
