Police believe they have resolved the case involving an attempt to assassinate Myanmar Member of Parliament (MP) Dr Aye Maung in Bukit Bintang last month.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pic) said this followed the arrest of a Myanmar national recently.

Following the arrest, police were also tracking down a few Myanmar and Thai nationals, whose identities have been ascertained, in connection with the case, he added.
In the 11.30pm incident at Jalan Alor last February 5, two men on a motorcycle fired six shots at a car in which Aye Maung and Arakan League for Democracy Party chairman, Aye Thor Aung, together with three other Myanmar nationals, were travelling in.

Aye Maung is the chairman of the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) in Myanmar and chairman of a commission set up by the Myanmar government to investigate reports of ethnic riots in Rakhine.

The five were said to have just left Plaza Low Yat when the shots were fired.
When asked on a foreign agency report about fear of the ethnic violence in Myanmar spreading to Malaysia, Khalid said: "No, I don't think so, but, we are monitoring closely whatever happens in Myanmar".

Earlier, when opening the Kota Tinggi District Police Complex, Khalid said Bukit Aman was prepared to mobilise more personnel in an effort to beef up the police delivery service and ensure public order in the country.

Towards this end, he said a study was being carried to identify the posts that would be required, adding that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) had been promised 4,000 new posts a year.
He also said two new district police complex would be built, namely for the South Johor Baru police and the Nusajaya police, and also a new police station in Pengerang, which was in progress.
Implementation of the projects cost more than RM250 million, he added. – Bernama, March 3, 2014.

ARSA claims ambush on Myanmar security forces

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on Sunday claimed responsibility for an ambush on Myanmar security forces that left several wounded in northern Rakhine state, the first attack in weeks in a region gutted by violence. Rakhine was plunged into turmoil last August, when a series of ARSA raids prompted a military backlash so brutal the UN says it likely amounts to ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority. The army campaign sent some 650,000 Rohingya fleeing for Bangladesh, where refugees have given harrowing accounts of rape, murder and arson at the hands of security forces and vigilantes. Myanmar's military, which tightly controls information about Rakhine, denies any abuses and insists the crackdown was a proportionate response to crush the "terrorist" threat. ARSA have launched few attacks in recent months.  But the army reported that "about ten" Rohingya terrorists ambushed a car with hand-made mines and gunfire on Friday morning

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do
