    Adlin Aman Ramlie: Jangan Tuduh Saya Sebagai Pesalah

    Pelakon, pengacara dan pelawak Adlin Aman Ramlie menafikan dirinya ditahan reman selama empat hari bagi membantu siasatan berhubung penipuan pelaburan hartanah.

    Menurut laporan Malaysiakini, Adlin yang berusia 44 tahun percaya diri beliau menjadi mangsa syarikat yang menggunakan singkatan HGR yang dituduh terbabit dalam kes penipuan tersebut.

    Beliau juga menafikan dirinya terbabit dalam kekerasan sepanjang tempoh beliau disiasat.

    “Saya anggap ia hanya kunjungan hari raya apabila ditahan di rumah pada 2.30 petang pada 20 Julai lalu.”

    “Polis menyatakan sebab saya perlu ikut ke Bukit Aman dan Balai Polis Dang Wangi ialah untuk membantu siasatan kes pelaburan haram di bawah seksyen 420.”

    “Saya dibebaskan di bawah jaminan polis selepas ditahan dalam tempoh 24 jam dan akan sentiasa tampil memberi kerjasama kepada polis,” kata Adlin dalam laporan Malaysiakini.

    Beliau berkata demikian di satu sidang media di Sri Pentas TV3 pada Ahad (24 Julai).

    Menurut Malaysikini lagi, pembabitan Adlin dalam syarikat itu hanyalah untuk membuat kemunculan khas apabila tiba sesuatu undangan acara.

    “Ya, saya memang kenal beberapa individu yang dinamakan sebagai suspek dari pihak syarikat tetapi saya tidak terbabit dalam sebarang pelaburan yang ia kendalikan.”

    “Gaji saya dibayar berdasarkan tugas saya sebagai pakar motivasi atau artis jemputan saja.”

    “Kerja itu memang saya buat sebagai bidang profesional di beberapa syarikat pemasaran rangkaian (MLM) yang lain,” tambah beliau.

    Sebelum ini, beberapa laporan menyatakan pihak polis menahan seramai 13 individu yang bergelar Datuk Seri dan Datuk yang kini ditahan reman selama 21 hari dalam kes sindiket penipuan itu.

    Malaysikini melaporkan Adlin ditahan kerana didakwa menyediakan rumah untuk melindungi dua dalang sindiket itu.

    Mengenai perkara itu, Adlin menjelaskan bahawa sidang media itu diadakan bagi menghuraikan kekeliruan mengenai kisah yang dipaparkan menerusi media sosial.

    “Tujuan sidang tersebut diadakan bagi memperbetulkan segala cerita mengenai saya yang tidak tepat tetapi telah tersebar dengan meluas di arus media perdana.”

    “Jangan letakkan saya sebagai orang di tempat pesalah dan mendahului tugas siasatan polis,” tegas beliau.

  • Singapore Library Users Have Phobia Of Other Library Users Who Don’t Return Borrowed Books

    Singapore Library Users Have Phobia Of Other Library Users Who Don’t Return Borrowed Books

    Dear Madam, please continue to have a phobia of borrowing books so the rest of us won’t be deprived of library books from late returns.

    The library system sent you reminders and the library officer even gave you a discount on your fine. And you still complain.

    When my kids were late in returning their books last time, I made them pay the fines from their allowance. It taught them to return books on time very quickly. You should try it.

    The authorities DO have a proper system for helping library users. It’s called fining people like you so that the rest of us won’t have to put up with less books to borrow.

    Either wake up your idea and park your sense of entitlement, or stop going to the public library.

    Yours sincerely,
    mrbrown, Public Library Lover

  • Singaporean Women Wrongly Accused By Airbnb Host Of Sleeping With Her Boyfriend

    Singaporean Women Wrongly Accused By Airbnb Host Of Sleeping With Her Boyfriend

    She returned home from a vacation, only to find a shocking message from her host.

    We are all familiar nasty online reviews. All over the internet, restaurant-goers decry bad service, film critics baulk at plot holes in the latest movie and holidaymakers point the finger of blame at their vacation hosts for all their travel misfortunes. But the tables were turned on me during my holiday to a quaint city in Southeast Asia.

    Any ordinary holiday

    While chatting online with my friend Alice*, who was backpacking on her own across the region, I decided on a whim to go on a short getaway myself.

    “Fly up and meet me in this city! You can settle all of our travel arrangements during that leg of my trip,’ she said. I didn’t mind doing all the work so I started making the necessary arrangements. I booked my flights and found us an affordable place to stay on vacation rental site Airbnb.

    The guesthouse was a gem of a find: it was located near the city centre, looked spacious and comfortable, and renting a room cost less than $15 a night I contacted the host, Gen* and managed to secure my booking for two nights.

    A week later, Alice and I met at our destination. When we arrived at the guesthouse, Gen was nowhere to be seen. In her stead, was a Caucasian man who introduced himself as Antonio* and the owner of the property.

    He told me that he ran a tour agency from the first floor of the building and I simply assumed that the woman in the Airbnb profile picture was one of his staff.

    Antonio was warm and friendly. He helped us to settle in and recommended various places of interests and good eateries. So we did our sightseeing, shopped and ate to our hearts’ content. We had a great time.

    On the third and final day, I said goodbye to Alice. I had planned to spend the day at the spa before leaving for Singapore, whereas she had decided to head to her next destination right away, so we went our separate ways.

    The unexpected review

    I returned to life as usual in Singapore and got back into the daily grind. Alice had not contacted me since we parted ways, but photographs from her travels appeared on my social media feed every day or so.

    Two weeks had passed since I arrived home when a notification popped up on my smartphone. It was a computer generated message from Airbnb that read, “Gen wrote you a review. Here’s what she wrote…”

    Curious to know what Antonio and his staff had to say about me, I opened the message and was horrified by what I saw: “She came to our home. She booked two nights, but stayed an extra night in my boyfriend’s bedroom and slept with my boyfriend while I wasn’t there.”

    Above the text was a statement from Airbnb to say that the review would be visible on my public profile. This meant that any potential Airbnb host in future would read it!

    I gaped at the message and read it two more times to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. Who was this mysterious woman and why would she accuse me of something so blatantly untrue?

    I wrote her an angry response, demanding an explanation.

    “Look, I don’t know who you are but I definitely did not sleep with anyone’s boyfriend. I stayed in the city for exactly two nights and came home to Singapore. I am furious that you would say slander me in this way!”

    Within minutes, her reply came through.

    “I am so sorry if you’re the one who left after two days,” she began.

    Uh-oh, I thought, as it dawn on me what had happened. On our second night, Alice had spent a good hour or so speaking with Antonio at the front desk. She’d told me that she needed to ask for directions to her destination and that I should go back to our room first. Had she lied to me?

    The truth at last

    Gen continued: “Your friend was the one who stayed. I don’t live in the city – I only visit about once a month.” She had learnt about her boyfriend’s betrayal from some neighbours.

    “They told me my boyfriend took a customer around the city and had dinner with her,” she told me. “It all sounded very strange to me, so I checked with the staff about your booking and found that you had only reserved two nights at our guesthouse. We had no available room for a third night.”

    It turns out Antonio had taken Alice for a tour of the city and then to dinner. After that, they returned to the guesthouse and shared a bottle of wine. “He confessed to all of these things and to letting her sleep in our bedroom but denied having sex,” Gen wrote.

    “I feel so tired. You cannot imagine how heartbroken I am. Maybe they really did not have sex, but your friend is single and can do whatever she wants. We had planned to get married but I’ve called it off and ended our relationship.”Gen ended her note by apologising for the trouble she had caused and promising to write to Airbnb to remove the review.

    From one accusation to another

    I stared at Gen’s outpouring onscreen, reeling. I recalled that Alice had mentioned meeting various men in her travels – they had taken care of her, carried her things and planned her routes. “I get a different boy for each leg of the trip,” she had joked.

    I wondered if perhaps I had not realised the implications of what she’d told me at the time. Was she giving sexual favours in exchange for their care and attention?

    I contemplated confronting Alice about the incident but decided against it. After all, I had been completely outraged with Gen’s accusation. She’d acted rashly and without any evidence. What gave me the right to hurl the same accusation at Alice? I decided to let the matter rest but made a mental note that I would make sure to properly introduce myself to my next Airbnb host, just in case.

  • Pelakon Adi Putra Dilapor Senyap-Senyap Nikah Lagi

    Pelakon Adi Putra Dilapor Senyap-Senyap Nikah Lagi

    Pelakon kelahiran Singapura yang sudah menebarkan sayapnya di negara jiran sekali lagi terpalit kontroversi baru-baru ini.

    Adi Putra, didakwa sudah bernikah kali kedua secara senyap-senyap, lapor laman Astro Gempak.

    Perbuatannya itu terdedah setelah gambar yang menunjukkan beliau bersama seorang wanita berpakaian sedondon dalam sekitaran majlis pernikahan tersebar menerusi aplikasi Whatsapp.

    Sebelum gambar-gambar itu tersebar, laporan Harian Metro menyatakan pelakon KL Gangster itu didakwa berkahwin kali kedua dengan seorang janda anak satu baru-baru ini.

    Perbuatan Adi Putra mengejutkan ramai orang, termasuk isterinya, Aida Yusof, 41 tahun, yang dikatakan tidak mengetahui berita perkahwinan suaminya itu.

    Astro Gempak cuba menghubungi Adi Putra namun tidak berhasil.

    Menurut laman mStar, Adi Putra membatalkan majlis Aidilfitri bersama kelab peminatnya, yang dijadual hari ini (17 Jul), pada saat-saat akhir.

    Beliau memuat naik gambar di laman Instagramnya memohon maaf kerana terpaksa membatalkan perjumpaan tersebut.

    “Assalammualaikum wmb. Saya memohon maaf kepada semua hotlovers kerana perjumpaan raya dan ulang tahun hotlovers esok 17 Julai, harus dibatalkan atas sebab-sebab yang tertentu. Saya sekali lagi mohon kemaafan,” katanya dalam laman sosial itu.

    Pada bulan Disember 2013, Adi Putra pernah mencetuskan kontroversi setelah beliau dilaporkan mempunyai skandal dengan isteri orang dari Johor sehingga melibatkan laporan polis dan disiasat mengikut Seksyen 509 Kanun Keseksaan, menurut laporan mStar.

    Namun, kes itu ditutup dan diklasifikasikan sebagai “no further action” atau tiada tindakan lanjut.

    Rumah tangga Adi Putra dengan Aida sebelum ini juga pernah berdepan dengan masalah apabila beliau memfailkan perceraian di Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Kuala Lumpur terhadap Aida pada 11 Mei 2012 namun membatalkan hasrat itu kemudiannya.

    Pasangan Adi Putra dan Aida sudah bernikah sejak 14 April 2006 namun tidak dikurniakan cahaya mata, tetapi mengambil seorang anak angkat perempuan berusia empat tahun, menurut mStar.
