If you frequent massage parlour for sex, don't blame yourself but blame your wife

The Obedient Wives Club is set to stir up another controversy with a member here blaming women for husbands who indulge in illegal sexual relationships.

Hajiera Hartley said women who did not fulfil the sexual needs of their husbands caused the men to look for illicit affairs.

She said a survey carried out recently by the club showed that only 10% of Malay wives understood the sexual needs of their husbands.

“Most married Malay women are busy with domestic chores and ignore the sexual needs of their husbands.

“A sexually satisfied husband can lead to a harmonious family,” she told a press conference on the club’s War Against Illicit Sex campaign at the Global Ikhwan Sdn Bhd office in Lahar Yooi, near Tasek Gelugor, yesterday.

Hajiera said Islam teaches Muslim wives to offer themselves 100% to their husbands and advised women to dress attractively for their husbands.

Global Ikhwan, reportedly an off-shoot of the banned Al-Arqam movement, had set up the club to help “improve” wives - The Star

Soon you can send your meddling mother-in-law to jail

Meddlesome in-laws who cause their children to beat their spouses will be severely dealt with when the Domestic Violence Act 1994 is amended.

The amendments, among others, would also allow victims of domestic violence to file reports at police stations nationwide instead of within their residential districts as currently practised.

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Heng Seai Kie said the amended Act would be tabled in the Dewan Negara on Dec 9 before it is gazetted.

She said the ministry had received numerous complaints about parents and other in-laws who instigated their kin to abuse their spouses and felt the culprits needed to be dealt with, along with the offenders.

“There have been many cases where mothers-in-law, grandmothers and stepmothers were instrumental in causing the offenders to abuse their wives or children.

“This is a form of emotional and psychological abuse that must be curbed to retain peace and harmony in the family,” she told reporters after opening a World Children’s Day celebration at the Kulim Landmark Central shopping centre yesterday.

Award given, award retracted

The organisers of this year’s Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) awards are retracting the Best Song Award from singer-songwriter Yuna.

Yuna, whose real name is Yunalis Zara, was announced as winner of the much-coveted award for her single Penakut along with the Best Vocal Performance (Female) and Anugerah Kembara titles at the awards show organised by the Recording Industry of Malaysia (RIM) on Nov 12.

News of the award rectification leaked and set various social networking sites abuzz on Wednesday.

Still smiling: Although surprised, Yuna has accepted the retraction in good faith.

Yesterday, RIM co-chairman Rosmin Hashim announced that there was a “misinterpretation of the awards criteria” by Ernst & Young – the appointed external auditors – during the judging process.

Rosmin added that the remedial steps were necessary to ensure the integrity of the AIM franchise.

Zahirudin Abdul Rahim, a partner at Ernst & Young, also apologised for the glitch.

“Due to the misinterpretation, the winner for the Song of the Year award that was announced at the AIM Awards show this year was incorrect,” said Zahirudin.

The Best Song award will now go to pop singer Anuar Zain for his single Sedetik Lebih, which also won the Best Performance in a Song (Male) and Best Pop Song at the awards show.

Meanwhile, Yuna, 24, said that while she was surprised when she first learned of the announcement, she accepted the committee’s decision.

“It is not something I expected, but I appreciate that the AIM organisers are trying to set things right.

“All award winners are to be treated fairly and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to Anuar Zain,” she said.

This year’s awards show, which left its traditional home at the Putra World Trade Centre for Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil after 16 years, was fraught with controversies from the start after it was announced that the major album categories (pop, rock, hip hop, etc) would be dropped.

A media backlash ensued with boycotts over how the awards show, now in its 18th instalment, was being presented and organised.

It took only two phone calls to con a man of his RM260,000

The victim, Teoh, 27, said at 1.30pm on 22 November, he received a call from a man who identified himself Corporal Marul, of the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Division. The number used by Corporal Marul was 03-2266xxxx. The police officer claimed Teoh was involved in "Black Money" scam.

"At first I ignored the call before getting another call from a woman who introduced himself Aini of the MOF who also said the same thing a day later," he said, yesterday.

He said the woman involved asked him to clear his bank account since an investigation would be made on his account. She asked Teoh to transfer RM263, 000 into two different accounts for the purpose of the investigation and promised to return the money after the investigation was completed.

"After banking in the money on Saturday at 12.30pm, I called 03-2266xxxx again to speak with Corporal Marul, but a female police officer told me there was no such officer in Commercial Crime.

"The officer concerned asked me to make a police report because he had been cheated," he said.

The victim lodged a report at the Petaling Jaya police station and the case was submitted to the District Police Headquarters (IPD) Brickfields for further investigation. Meanwhile, Brickfields police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid confirmed receiving the report.

You can now buy babies by kilogram in Kuala Lumpur

Babies, like grocery items scrutinised by potential buyers at supermarket shelves, also have "price tags" based on their colour and weight.

This is only one of a few hard truths about the human trafficking industry in Malaysia -- now thriving as the world’s third most profitable business after weapons and drugs.

“A baby of Chinese origin, weighing a healthy three kilos, can be sold off starting from RM10,000,” said Yayasan Chow Kit senior manager Dr Hartini Zainuddin.

Hartini is no stranger to human trafficking, having worked here with the underage victims across the capital and Klang Valley.

Her shocking revelation drew groans of disbelief among Rotarians and guests at the Rotary Club of Pudu’s Vocational Awards presentation yesterday.

“I have seen a baby being sold off by the father for a mere RM20 in return for syabu, and another case where a baby was sold off for S$25,000," she said.

“There was also a case involving this one mother who sold off all her six children even before they were delivered. She sold them for RM15,000 each while still pregnant with them."

Go ahead with that one-night stand, if you catch AIDS just buy Toray Gecko, it will cure everything from AIDS to Manila Rose

Claims that a nocturnal Asian lizard could treat the HIV virus that causes AIDS have led to a sharp boom in illegal smuggling, putting the reptile at risk, an conservation group said Tuesday.

Demand for the Tokay Gecko has skyrocketed in recent years after online blogs, newspaper articles and wildlife traders extolled the consumption of the lizard’s tongue and internal organs as a miracle cure for HIV, TRAFFIC Southeast Asia said in a report.

TRAFFIC said such claims were unfounded and “indicative of an elaborate hoax.” The Philippines’ government in July also warned that using geckos to treat AIDS and impotence may put patients at risk.

“TRAFFIC is alarmed at the massive increase in trade of these geckos. If the trade continues to mushroom, it could take years to repair the damage currently being inflicted on gecko populations,” said Chris R.Shepherd, TRAFFIC’s regional deputy director.

The geckos, popular as pets in Asia, have long been used as traditional medicine for illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, skin disease and cancer, the report said. Their carcasses are dried up and ground into powder for consumption. In some parts of Asia, Tokay wine or whisky is consumed to boost energy - AP

Exports of Malaysian products picking up, including some backyard sex stimulants

Malaysian-made sex-enhancing stimulants appear to be sexing up nocturnal activities in Kerala, but the influx of illegal imports of the libido-boosters into the state is worrying drug control officials.

Sex stimulants from gel, aphrodisiac brew, herbal pill and anti-impotence drug mostly produced by Malaysian firms are household names in the southern Indian state.

"Many products like cream or gel for genital use are found to be manufactured in Malaysia, like places in Selangor.

"Marketing is usually done through MLM (multi-level marketing) and it is hard for us to monitor," Ravi S. Menon, assistant drugs controller of Kerala's central zone said in a telephone interview.

Some cash-rich Keralites, he said, were willing to splurge hefty sums to purchase pleasure-boosting items, often sold at exorbitant prices.

For instance, eight grams of sex stimulant gel for men was being sold for about 3,000 Indian rupees (RM200) in some parts of Kerala.

"There is a strong demand in Kerala for these items...they are usually imported, together with cosmetics," said Menon.

In July, last year, his department seized a large consignment of herbal aphrodisiac sent from a Malaysian port and illegally imported into Kerala, aimed at giving the state's very own age-old ayurvedic love-potions a run for the money.

Christians using solar-powered talking Bibles to convert Muslims

Evangelical Christians are using high-tech devices such as solar-powered talking bibles to proselytize to Malay Muslims in Selangor, state lawmaker Datuk Hasan Ali said today.

Hasan, who is in charge of the state's Islamic affairs portfolio, said the state's religious authority (Jais) had discovered that Christian missionaries were now spreading their gospel through technologically-advanced means apart from setting up welfare groups providing cash and other financial aid to single mothers and the destitute.

He added that Jais's research showed Christian evangelists were spreading their faith to young Muslim students in free tuition classes and counselling sessions, besides distributing Christian pamphlets in public places, homes, universities and places that were ostensibly called "community centres" to carry out their evangelical work.

The website claims the device's batteries can be recharged using solar power.

The ex-PAS state commissioner disclosed this in a written reply to a question from Umno-Sungai Burong assemblyman Datuk Mohd Shamsudin Lias.

According to a website called Book of Joe, the palm-sized radio-like device contains all the books in the New and Old Testaments and is fitted with batteries that will run for almost 10 hours before needing to be recharged, whether by the sun, a light bulb or a nine-volt AC adapter. It costs only US$99.95 (RM310).

This latest disclosure, after a controversial August 3 raid by Selangor Islamic authorities on the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) in Petaling Jaya, could trigger another Christian-Muslim conflict.

Christian leaders have consistently denied claims that they are attempting to convert Muslims, but relations between the two creeds with roots in the Middle East continue to smoulder in multi-religious, multi-cultural Malaysia where the religion of the federation is Islam as stated in the Federal Constitution.

Hasan said Jais is working to counter Christian proselytism of Muslims by holding sessions to clarify Islamic doctrine and its laws.

The lawmaker said Jais is also seeking to strengthen the enforcement of the Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Amongst Muslims) Enactment 1988 as well as the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment 1995 - The Malaysian Insider

Note: I never heard anything as stupid as this. Hasan Ali should come out with figures how many Muslims have been converted? If not, this is plain insult to all Muslims. Takkanlah Melayu bodoh sangat.
