You issue summonses, we issue punches

An irate ratepayer gave Seberang Perai municipal councillor, Peter Lim Eng Nam, 43, a black eye after accusing him of issueing summons against an illegal house extension.

The attack took place in front of Lim’s house in Taman Idaman, Simpang Ampat yesterday.

A friend of his, Goh Bee Thong, 37, fell into a drain after he was punched.

The councillor said the assailant got out of his car, with three others still inside, and verbally abused him and his friend.

“I was talking with my friend when a car drove up. A man came out and relieved himself next to the car. After that, he walked towards me and started shouting,” said Lim.

“He accused me of filing a complaint and issuing summons against him for building an extension to his house. I was taken aback. I explained that I was only a councillor and issuing summonses was the MPSP’s job.”

Lim said the three other men then exited the car and he requested them to escort their friend back.

He said that as the man was being led to the car, he spat at him and called Goh a “dog”.

When Goh asked why he was calling him names, the man ran back and punched Goh, who fell into a nearby drain.

“I tried to restrain the man and was instead punched on my face, left knee, right hand and body. My glasses broke too, said Lim.

After the assailant left, Lim and Goh lodged reports with the Simpang Ampat police station - Malay Mail

Black magic woman exposed by ..... husband and daughter

Tired of a woman cheating people of their money, her husband and daughter yesterday came forward to reveal her misdeeds.

The woman had also allegedly conned the husband of RM9,000 (S$3700) and tried to extort RM50,000 from her son-in-law.

Speaking to reporters yesterday at the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department, the man and his daughter alleged that the woman conned people by claiming to be a "shaman" (bomoh) who was capable of lifting black magic spells and had once even impersonated an Immigration officer.

The daughter, who wanted to be known only as Nurul Fatiha, 19, said she came forward because she had had enough of her mother's con jobs, and wanted to expose her wrongdoings.

"My mother convinced people that they had black magic spells cast on them.

"She then asked them for money so that she could lift the spells, before going missing.

"Once, she even tried to extort RM50,000 from my husband and she cheated my stepfather out of RM9,000," the housewife told a press conference here yesterday.

Present at the press conference were five other victims of the bogus shaman.

If you are a she-male, a he-female, a lesbian, a gay you cannot appear on Malaysian TV and your voice won't be aired

The government of Malaysia has banned television and radio shows which feature gay characters.

The ban, effective immediately, was reported by The Star.

Deputy Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Maglin Dennis D'Cruz told The Star that the ban was meant to curb the “influence” of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.

State-owned TV and radio stations were expected to immediately implement the ban, which would be expanded to cover privately-owned and satellite TV providers.

The Censorship Board, under a directive issued Thursday by the Information Department, would screen out foreign movies and TV shows with gay characters.

“Effective immediately, radio and TV stations are asked to stop screening shows which feature gay, effeminate men as well as characters that go against the norm of a religious society because this encourages and promotes LGBT now,” the Information Department announced on its Facebook page.

Maglin clarified that programs and TV shows hosted by men who appear effeminate would not be removed “because they are born this way.”

Polygamous husbands have more sex with younger wives

One of the problems of polygamous husbands in Kelantan is their failure to be fair to the first wife when it comes to sex.

Syariah chief judge Datuk Daud Mohamad said this complaint was based on regular reports lodged by the first wives last year that their husbands spent more time with the second and subsequent wives.

"The first wives claimed that their husbands were prone to skipping their turn (for intimacy) by spending time with their new wives."

He said they also complained that their husbands did not provide reasonable nafkah (maintenance) for them and their children.

"If the problem is brought to us, we will ask suluh (arbitration) officers or court registrars to counsel the couples and offer solutions. But, if the problem persists, the court will intervene and rule on the matter."

For cases reported last year, Daud said the husbands were ordered to treat all their wives well and to pay maintenance based on the court's decision.

"So far, all husbands in Kelantan who are in a polygamous marriage have adhered to the court's order." - NST

Are Malaysians becoming more stupid? Harvard would not accept a single Malaysian this year

For the second consecutive year, no Malaysian student has gained admission into Harvard University.

Datuk Dr Goh Cheng Teik, who heads the selection panel that interviews students for undergraduate admission into the university, said this was due to the deteriorating quality of applicants from Malaysia.

"I called the Harvard College Admissions Office and was told that although they received applications from Malaysian students, no one was shortlisted for interviews as they are not considered competitive enough," he told The Star.

Dr Goh said former SMK Damansara Jaya student Avinaash Subramaniam was the last Malaysian to be accepted into Harvard in 2010.

Avinaash obtained 11A's in the 2008 SPM and was awarded a full scholarship.

Harvard Club of Malaysia honorary secretary Nicholas Khaw, who is also an interviewer on the panel, said from 1985 to 2010, at least one applicant from Malaysia had been admitted into Harvard College every year. (Harvard College is the undergraduate school at Harvard University.)

In 2009, he said two students gained admission into Harvard.

Holy crap! My wife is not a female

A former dean took his third wife to the Syariah court after a year's marriage to verify if she is actually a man, Kosmo! reported.

Dr Bahrom Sanugi, 61, had married Sri Wani Choo Abdullah, 37, in Songkhla, Thailand, in August 2009.

The couple is understood to have obtained a false marriage certificate in Kedah after they got married.

Dr Bahrom, a former dean at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), became suspicious of his wife's gender when he found the serial number of her MyKad ending with an odd number, which usually denotes the male sex.

Judge Abdul Walid Abu Hassan of the Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court fixed April 23 to decide on Dr Baharom's application to get a court order for Sri Wani to undergo a DNA test to verify her sex.

Reacting to the request, the boutique owner from Bentong, Pahang, has filed an objection.

Dr Baharom's lawyer, Muhammad Hafiz Ab Rashid, said the academician had filed for faraq (annulment) on Jan 17 last year at the East Gombak lower Syariah court.

"My client has clear proof regarding the sex of his wife after finding a birth certificate which denoted Sri Wani is a man," he said, adding that Sri Wani was understood to be a widow without children before the marriage.

Living with the ghosts is better than living with people

That's what a 50-year-old housewife does. Not that she has supernatural powers and communicates with the nether world as part of her hobby.

The woman, who wants to be known only as Madam Chen, said that living near the dead seems to be better than with the living.

She told The Star: "I've never experienced anything supernatural in my years of living here. Even if I live with ghosts, it's better than living with people because it is not noisy and there is no pollution in this area."

Also, there is the advantage of being secure.

She said: "I feel secure living here. Most of the time, I only close my door grille and leave my wooden door wide open."

Madam Chen said she has been living next to a graveyard at Mount Erskine in Georgetown for the last 30 years.

Mount Erskine is one of Penang's many Chinese cemeteries and is located at the north-eastern part of the island.

For the past few days, Chinese cemeteries there were crowded with people visiting the graves of relatives as it was the Qing Ming Festival.

The crowds may throng the cemeteries during this period, but for the rest of the year, Madam Chen's life is peaceful.

She told The Star that she will not move away from the place even if she could afford a bungalow. She is not the only person who loves to be with the dead. There are other families who are living within the cemetery grounds, and they have been living there for decades, the report said.

Growing up in the area gives a sense of belonging to Mr Yuen Kah Moon.

Prefers his old house

Born and bred in Mount Erskine, the 60-year-old retiree said he eschewed the comfort of living in a condominium to live in his old house.

He told The Star: "I have a condominium unit opposite this graveyard, but I seldom stay there as I am already used to the environment here."

How to make US$1.3 billion in just 4 months

A football betting and fraud ring busted by Malaysian police grossed $1 billion, reports said on Friday, after an operation that led to the arrests of scores of Chinese and Taiwanese nationals.

Police conducted the raid in the city of Kajang, near the capital Kuala Lumpur, on Thursday after receiving a tip-off, the latest high-profile effort to clamp down on rampant illegal sports betting in Asia.

The Malaysia ring operated for a month from several luxury bungalows in an upscale gated community “home to several ministers and former cabinet members,” The Star Newspaper reported.

Police believe the operation raked in nearly four billion ringgit ($1.3 billion), it said.

The bungalows had closed-circuit video systems for security and police found “suspects engrossed in their laptops and telephones in a classroom-like atmosphere with all the tables neatly arranged in rows,” the report added.

Suspects were equipped with 241 mobile phones and 43 computers, the New Straits Times said.

You are dead! Therefore you cannot vote

Ho Heng Tong, 53, got the shock of his life after checking his voter registration status on the Election  Commission's (EC) website last week, when he found that his name was removed as the National Registration Department (NRD) had listed him as deceased.

While acknowledging that Ho is still alive, EC officials however told him to register as a new voter and refused to reinstate him into the current role - Malaysiakini

This is Malaysia, no ballet costume allowed

A Singaporean dance troupe has been denied a permit to perform here this weekend owing to their "indecent" costumes, a Malaysian dance organisation said today.

MyDance Alliance president Bilqis Hijjas said the decision by Puspal against the Singapore Dance Theatre performing at KLPac was "deplorable" and would hurt Malaysia's reputation as a reliable host for cultural shows.

Puspal, or the Central Agency for the Application for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artists, is under the purview of the Information, Communication and Culture Ministry headed by Datuk Seri Rais Yatim.

Bilqis said Puspal had approved dances featuring classical tutus before - even at government-run theatre Istana Budaya as late as this year - and asked why the agency was "so inconsistent" in applying its guidelines.

"KLPac, by comparison, is a private business on private ground, with paying audiences who were well aware of what they were coming to see, and not one of whom would have been distressed by the costumes," she said.

She noted that the women's costumes featured long skirts, except for dancers in The Nutcracker, who would have worn the same short classical tutus and tights that have been used since ballet dancers performed before the Russian tsars in the 1870s  - Malaysian Insider

Its hard to be a maid in Malaysia. Your employer may starve you to death

Malaysian police have detained a couple over the alleged murder of a Cambodian maid after the 24-year-old woman died of possible prolonged starvation, police said on Thursday.

Mey Sichan's employers telephoned for an ambulance on March 31 but paramedics found her dead on arrival, Mr Nasir Salleh, police chief of the northern state of Penang, told AFP. She also had bruises to her body.

A post-mortem revealed that she died from acute gastritis and ulcers likely due to lack of food over a long period, he said. The maid had been working for the family, who manage a hardware shop, for eight months.

'Definitely what happened to Sichan is inhumane. It is a shock to us,' the police chief said.

Sichan's body weight had shrunk to 26kg, almost half that of a healthy woman, he said.

Police detained a couple, the maid's employers, on Saturday, and are also questioning three workers of their shop to assist in the murder probe - AFP

A noble woman she is.......

A mother allowed herself to be sexually violated by an armed intruder at her home in Kampung Jawa here, last week to protect her children. The woman, a 38-year-old housewife, was raped repeatedly while her four children were locked up, crying in an adjoining room.

The incident occurred at 5.45am when the woman was woken up by a man armed with a pair of scissors.

The suspect, who covered his face with a piece of child's clothing, was believed to have broken into the house through a window.

He covered the woman's mouth with his hand and held a pair of scissors to her neck. The suspect warned the woman not to shout for help or he would kill her.

The victim was told to hand over her jewellery and cash.

The woman bundled RM300, two mobile phones, a bracelet and a pair of earrings into a pillowcase and handed it to the suspect.

The suspect then told the woman that he was going to rape one of her daughters and this was when she pleaded with him to take her instead.

By then, the children had woken up and the suspect locked them in the room. The woman's husband was away on a business trip.

He then went back to the mother, who allowed him to undress and rape her.

The woman later told police that instead of a condom, the suspect wrapped his private parts with a plastic bag - NST
