Noritta Samsudin: a tale of the high life, glamour and death

The previous story touches upon relatively uneducated people. But this one is different: the accused is an engineer, no less.

With all the other cases around, why this one created such a fuss?

She’s young, pretty, has “many boyfriends”, and an accounts executive with Transpro Sdn Bhd with 2 years experience but can afford to rent a room at the expensive Puncak Prima Galleria Condominium in Sri Hartamas, KL. She was found, on her bed in a condo, naked, gagged (mouth stuffed with a piece of cloth), hands tied with a bra and legs tied with several wires (including a handphone charger wire), and according to The Star, sodomised before being strangled (perhaps S&M session gone awry?). All evidence points to the fact that she knew her attacker - no sign of forced entry.

She apparently played basketball for Kelantan during MSSM, and that during Hari Raya in November she told her parents of her upcoming wedding plans to a Chinese
businessman with Australian citizenship, Lim Sean Kean, 38.

Noritta’s female housemate, is believed to be a guest relations officer, and regularly brings home her boyfriend.

Main accused, Mamak (Indian Muslim) Hanif Basree Abd Rahman, 36, tall and big sized, is an engineer with Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA). As at today, you can still see his name at MBSA website at http://www.mbsa.gov.my/mbsa/english_version/organization/officer_e-mail.htm

He could also be 2002-2003 VP of the national volleyball association (http://www.mava.org.my/about/exco.htm), and son of MRCB head honcho Abdul Rahman Maidin, who is also holds the top position in the national malay chamber of commerce.

He was arrested 3 days after the murder, and formally charged on 22nd December.

The trial will be held in May 2004.

A minor controvery was caused by a pic in The Malay Mail in Dec 2003 of three suspects in the Noritta Samsudin murder case, walking barefoot and handcuffed together while accompanied by police at the Kuala Lumpur magistrate’s court. They were eventually freed.

They question whether it is an accepted practice by the police in this
country.

The suspects, remanded for 10 days until Dec 21, were Suhaimi Sanusi, 37,
an IT (information technology) businessman from Ampang; Khairul Anuar
Kamaruddin, 22, a private college student; and a foreigner from Finland,
Mikko Kouko Johannes Jarva, believed to be a financial executive in his
30s.

The others in police custody included Noritta’s boyfriend - a Chinese
businessman with Australian citizenship whom she was planning to marry;
an Indian Muslim, and a bald-headed broker.

Security Guard Gets 20 Years’ Jail, 24 Strokes For Rape Of Nurul Huda
General
January 26, 2004 17:22 PM

JOHOR BAHARU, Jan 26 (Bernama) — A security guard was sentenced to the maximum 20 years’ jail and ordered to be given 24 strokes of the rotan by the Sessions Court, here Monday for raping 10-year-old Nurul Huda Gani at the Tenaga Nasional Berhad main intake sub-station in Tanjung Kupang on Jan 17.

Mohamed Abbas Danus Baksan, 47, pleaded guilty to raping Nurul Huda, a Standard Four pupil of Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Tiram Duku, at the guardhouse of the sub-station in Kampung Pekajang between 9.20 am and 1 pm on that day.

In passing sentence, judge Abu Bakar Katar said that the court had to take public interest into account even though Mohamed Abbas had entered a guilty plea.

He said that Mohamed Abbas had committed a very serious offence and the sentence meted out should serve as a deterrence to him and to others.

The judge said that the court had also considered the fact that he had used excessive force on the girl and had caused trauma among her family members and also the community.

Abu Bakar also said that Mohamed Abbas, who has nine previous convictions, had also not shown any remorse over his actions.

Earlier, Deputy Public Prosecutor Teo Say Eng said that the maximum imprisonment and whipping should be imposed on Mohamed Abbas for committing a heinous crime where a substantial degree of violence was used.

Teo urged the court to impose a sentence which would deter him and others from committing the offence in the future.

The court was earlier told that Nurul Huda was reported missing and her family members launched a search party when she failed to return after leaving the house on an errand at about 8.50 am.

They had also gone to the guardhouse where they made inquiries but Mohamed Abbas denied having seen her.

They sought his permission to conduct a search of the vicinity of the guardhouse but was told by him that according to police instructions, only their officers could be allowed entry.

Police permission was later granted but they were still denied entry, prompting the police personnel to climb over the gate. A scuffle ensued but they later found Nurul Huda in the toilet of the guardhouse, naked and unconscious.

Lawyers Karpal Singh and Gobind Singh Deo, holding a watching brief on behalf of Nurul Huda’s family, pleaded for a maximum sentence.

He described Mohamed Abbas as a “monster” and “should be put away as far as can be from the society.”

“The court owes it to the family of Nurul Huda and the nation. The court should come down hard on the criminal,” said Gobind Singh.

Mohamed Abbas, who was unrepresented, did not show any emotion throughout the proceedings.

He was later brought to the Magistrate’s Court where he was charged with murder by causing the death of Nurul Huda, at the same time and place.

No plea was recorded.

The court fixed Feb 26 for mention.

Hotel Puzzle - where did the extra dollar go?

Puzzle Question:

3 men go into a hotel. The man at reception said the room is $30.

So each man paid $10 and went to the room.

A while later the man at reception realized the room was only $25.

So he sent a waiter to the 3 guys’ room with $5. On the way the waiter couldn’t figure out how to split $5 evenly between the 3 men. So he decided to give back $1 to each man. They were happy to save a dollar each and the waiter was happy to make $2 for himself.

This meant that the 3 men had now paid $9 each for the room, which makes $27. The waiter still had the $2 which makes a total of $29. They started off with $30 so what happened to the other dollar???

Christopher Klaus of ISS Corp: Gen-X Hi Tech Hero for the 21st century

Christopher Klaus, 29 (born 1974) is the Founder and Chief Technology
Officer of NASDAQ-listed, billion-dollar company Internet Security
Systems (ISS), which is the maker of the ISS RealSecure Intrusion
Detection System (IDS) and the renowned Internet Scanner, which KKIPC/JPKN
is using.

He founded the company in 1994 at barely 20 years of age.

Klaus is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost security
experts and remains actively involved as the key technology visionary
at ISS, providing strategic direction and technical expertise to
the continued development of the company’s solutions. He also continues
to represent ISS as a spokesperson at technical events and industry
conferences each year, and provides high-level security consultation
to a number of government organizations and Fortune 500 companies
throughout the U.S. and abroad.

At the age of 26 (in 2000) he donated USD15 million to his alma mater
for the construction of an advanced computing and information technology
complex at Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT).

He left GIT before graduation to jump start ISS.

Someone commented: “We read a lot about middle-aged executives who
establish their own foundations or leave their jobs in the late-40s
to work for charitable causes. But I’m not aware of anyone who’s
been this generous at such a young age. At a time in his life when
many would be focusing on personal gain.”

“Chris has chosen to make a major, charitable investment in education
and research. I think that says lot about the kind of person he is.
”

In 1999, the average STARTING salary for graduates of the college
was USD49,626 a year (which translates to RM15,715 per month), a
sign of strong demand for its students.

Prior to founding ISS, Klaus foresaw the growth of the Internet and
developed a first-of-its-kind software program, Internet Scanner,
an integral component of ISS’ current SAFEsuite� software portfolio,
while attending the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT).

Having a glimpse of the demand for this technology, he left Georgia
Tech in 1994 to found ISS with the intention of helping organizations
around the world safeguard their critical data from the ever-growing
number of Internet security risks.

Today, ISS is credited as being a true Internet security pioneer,
and has grown to serve more than 5,500 customers worldwide including
21 of the 25 largest U.S. commercial banks, 10 of the largest telecommunications
companies and over 35 government agencies.

Through the years, ISS’ mission has remained synonymous with Klaus’
vision to provide the technology and service solutions necessary
to protect digital assets and ensure safe and uninterrupted e-business.

Klaus was involved in the founding of the Georgia Tech Center for
Information Security, GTISC, established in Spring 1998 for the Sam
Nunn NationsBank Policy Forum on Information Security. The Center
uses an interdisciplinary approach to conducting research and development.

Klaus is also an active participant in the Atlanta community supporting
Hands On Atlanta and as a founding member of Industries of the Mind.

Klaus was recently honored by the MIT Technology Review as one of
the top 100 young innovators for 1999, was one of the youngest to
be included in the 1999 Forbes Top 100 list, and received the award
for Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in the category of Internet
products and services.
