-

POLICE are looking for a man in Johor Baru after he allegedly used a credit card belonging to a murder victim about a week ago.

Port Dickson OCPD Supt Zainuddin Ahmad said the transactio­n was traced to a fast-food outlet in Johor Baru on Jan 22.

Kosmo! reported that police considered the man, in his 20s, a key source in the probe and released a CCTV screen capture of him.

Mahussin Abdul Rahim, 28, a dentistry technologi­st, was found sprawled on a mattress at the Lukut Health Clinic Quarters in Lukut, Port Dickson, by a colleague on Jan 23 after he failed to show up for work from Jan 19.

Mahussin, from Kuala Krai, Kedah, was said to have been killed by a blow to the head with a blunt object.

Police also traced his motorcycle’s last known location to the fast-food outlet in Nong Chik, Johor.

> The Kuala Lumpur High Court has fixed Feb 23 to decide how much to award actress Datin Maria Farida Atienza, 48, in her defamation suit against her husband’s ex-wife and daughter, Harian Metro reported.

Judicial Commission­er Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh made the ruling after Hadijah Nohamed Mokhtar @ Karen Rahman and her daughter Nur Shazaleen Anid Mohd Yusoff failed to comply with the court’s earlier ruling to file their documents.

Hadijah and Nur Shazaleen did not appear in court on Monday.

Maria Farida filed a defamation suit against the two women two years ago and obtained an injunction to prevent them from uttering defamatory statements against her.

She also sought a public apology from the two women, to be published in Berita Harian and on their Facebook and Instagram accounts.

The court also ordered both women not to contact Maria Farida by phone, message or social media.

> A 14-year-old roti canai maker in Chemor, Ipoh, has become a draw for customers at his family’s restaurant in Taman Sri Khanthan, Berita Harian reported.

Muhd Aiman Alif Abd Aziz, the fourth of eight siblings, said he started to learn how to knead and toss the flattened dough when he was 10.

“I wanted to try making roti canai

because I was fascinated watching my father at work.

“My interest grew when I realised that my father was shorthande­d, so I resolved to help him,” he said.

His father Abd Aziz Idris, 48, said it took him six months to teach his son the art of making roti canai.

He said he was confident in his son’s ability and even let him manage the kitchen and serve customers.
