The Works Ministry has reminded motorists to comply with road closures, to avoid potentially fatal accidents.  

This, after two people died in Terengganu, after their car entered a section of a road that was closed off due to a landslide.  

It reportedly skidded and fell down a ravine.

Police have opened an investigation into the alleged death threats sent to a lawyer who is handling the case of three people who were shot and killed by police in Melaka recently.   

Cops claimed that their personnel opened fire after being attacked by the trio.  

However, their families alleged that they were killed execution-style.
