Published: Friday January 30, 2009 MYT 9:42:00 PM By ELENA CHONG SINGAPORE: A 16-year-old girl instigated an unknown man to rape a girl who had bad-mouthed her previously. When the rape failed, Nor Azura Omar forced the 13-year-old girl to have oral sex with the man and even recorded the obscene act with her cellphone. All this took place at a staircase landing of a block of flats in Woodlands on June 28 last year. A district court heard that Azura had planned to “break the virginity” of the girl and wanted to take revenge on her for having badmouthed her previously. She called a chatline and managed to arrange for the unknown man to meet her at a block of flats in Woodlands Avenue 1. Over the phone, she told him to “break” the victim’s virginity. The victim overheard this but was afraid to make an escape as she feared that Azura would beat her up, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Diane Tan. Initially, Azura’s accomplices, all between 12 and 15, did not know about her plan. Surrounded by ...

Thursday January 29, 2009 WHEEL POWER By ANTHONY THANASAYAN MY best buddy died on the 13th of this month. He was in my arms when I said goodbye. Today is his birthday. Had he lived, he would have celebrated his 13th birthday. Vai came into my life at a time when I was at the lowest. Even though I was a disabled activist, I found it hard to fight off bouts of depression when I was home. All that changed when Vai came along. At eight weeks old, he was the very challenge I needed to overcome my depression. My wheelchair was no longer an excuse. I had to feed him, bathe him and clean up after him. During those times, it was just Vai and I. We learnt to trust each other. I trained him to be a service dog. Vai learnt to pick up all sorts of things for me: my mobile phone, car keys. He even learnt to open the door. He also taught me to laugh and have fun. He would snatch my watch away and insisted I chase after it. At other times, the cheeky fellow would bring me a dead lizard or a live cockr...

IPOH: All Federal Government directors of departments and agencies in Perak are banned from attending state-level meetings with immediate effect. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi also said that, with immediate effect, federal agencies would only consider recommendations of Federal Village Develop­ment and Security Committees.

I could not stop posting more information that i see in the Internet about the death of Kugan. Here is what said about the port mortem in Malaysian Medical Resources (MMR) Another custodial death. No foul play? What’s the furor all about? 22-year-old Kugan Ananthan died in police custody. He was being held under a two-week remand to facilitate police investigations linking him to several car theft cases.From the press we gather that a post-mortem found “liquid in his lungs”. Does this mean there was no foul play? If you read the MSM, that’s what they are saying . "Post-mortem revealed no foul play in the death of police detainee A. Kugan at the Subang Taipan police station." But there seems to be more than that. If you read Malaysiakini and watch the video (warning: viewer discretion is strongly advised as there are pretty graphic images here) there appears to be unusual injuries to the body. Was the suspect in fact so severely beaten during his interrogation that this beat...
