ALOR SETAR: The 10 suspects detained by police in relation to the discovery of the body of a 17-year-old girl in a rubber plantation in Pokok Sena on May 11 were charged at Alor Setar Magistrate s Court here Tuesday (May 25).
They arrived at court at around 9.00am and at 11.30am were brought before Magistrate Nurshahida Abdul Rahim to be charged.

The charge carries a maximum of seven years imprisonment or a fine, or both.
Taman Melawati, also known as just Melawati, is a mature neighbourhood set amid hills and lush greenery. Located in Ulu Kelang, it may not be the first place that comes to mind when you are looking for a spot to hang out with your friends or family. Unlike the trendier Mont’Kiara, Bangsar and Kuala Lumpur city centre, Melawati is more tranquil and lacks the bustle of activity found in the more popular areas. But that does not make it any less attractive.
According to VPC Alliance Sdn Bhd managing director James Wong, Melawati was previously a rubber plantation named Hawthornton Estate. Development of the township, the first by Negara Properties (M) Bhd, began in the 1970s. The developer is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sime Darby Property Bhd.
Reception staff on duty to register those seeking lodging at Anjung Singgah.
JOHOR BARU: Anjung Singgah, a shelter established by Women, Family and Community Development Ministry here, is known among locals as a place that takes in the homeless.
However, for many - especially those from outside Johor Baru - the shelter serves as a halfway house for them to put up temporarily while they look for a job.
For former Anjung Singgah resident Afnan Safuan Ahmad Fuad, 31, the shelter helped him save on accommodation and meals while starting a new job in Singapore.
The food factory supervisor, who hails from Pahang, said he stayed at the shelter for about a month in 2016, back when it was located in Jalan Segget in the city centre.

JOHOR BARU: While the Malaysia-Singapore border closure has contributed to a rise in the number of homeless in the city centre here, the situation is not helped by the relocation of the Federal Government’s homeless shelter, Anjung Singgah.
The shelter, managed by the National Welfare Foundation Malaysia (NWF), saw a drop of about 80%, from around 30 residents a month previously to fewer than five a month at its new location, said its southern zone director Nurul Zahrawaini Mohamad Nordan.
