55-year-old Datuk Ramli Yusuff stands as the highest ranked police officer to be charged with failing to declare his assets. Having spent 38 years in the force, the Commercial Crime Investigation Department director was in court yesterday after he was known to be the senior police who failed to declare about RM27 million worth of assets.

A 34-year-old Indian cook from Tiruchirappali in Tamil Nadu was found dead and nude in a lodging house on Wednesday. Naina Mohamad checked in with a woman at 10:45am that day.

When the woman, believed to be a prostitute, came down from the room at 11:20am, left a note with the cook and told a lodging house staff that Naina would check out at 1pm because he was sleeping.

The staff went up to check and found the cook dead, possibly due to a heart attack.
