  • The Minions Speak Bahasa Indonesia

    The Minions Speak Bahasa Indonesia

    If you speak Bahasa Indonesia and you think you heard some familiar words in the latest Minions movie, you don’t need to get your ears checked.

    The voice of the Minions, Pierre Coffin, is half-Indonesian, and confessed to having used some Bahasa words in Minion speech since the yellow characters’ first outing in Despicable Me (2010).

    That’s why you would’ve heard words or phrases like ‘terima kasih’ (thank you), ‘kemari’ (come here) and ‘paduka raja’ (your highness).

    “I find the Indonesian language very beautiful. It is like music,” he said in an interview, reported The Jakarta Post.

    The 47-year-old Coffin (above) is the son of Indonesian novelist NH Dini, whose full name is Nurhayati Sriharini Siti Nukatin, and French diplomat Yves Coffin. The couple separated in 1984.

    Coffin is not just the voice of the Minions – he co-directed both Despicable Me films with Chris Renaud, and co-directed the latest Minions spin-off with Kyle Balda.

    Minion speech also contains words from languages like Spanish, Italian, English and Greek.

  • Law Professor Withdraws Offer To Compensate Cabby Victim

    Law Professor Withdraws Offer To Compensate Cabby Victim

    The assistant law professor had initially offered to pay compensation to a cabby for assaulting him.

    But he withdrew the offer yesterday after he was berated by a judge.

    National University of Singapore law professor Sundram Peter Soosay, 43, was eventually sentenced yesterday to four months’ jail and ordered to pay $1,500 compensation to the cabby.

    Soosay had been found guilty last month of assaulting Mr Sun Chun Hua, 70, in the wee hours of Christmas Day in 2013.

    Earlier during yesterday’s hearing, Soosay had indicated he was willing to offer Mr Sun compensation.

    But when District Judge Victor Yeo chided him and his lawyer for not settling the issue earlier so Mr Sun could consent to the compensation, Soosay withdrew his offer.

    During sentencing, Judge Yeo said that violence against transport workers cannot be tolerated because while they provide an essential service to the public, they deserve to work in a safe and secure environment.

    He highlighted that Soosay had attacked Mr Sun at about 5am, when there was little foot traffic and the taxi driver would be at his most vulnerable.

    “I did not sense any remorse (in you), and you have a lackadaisical attitude towards compensation,” the judge said.

    The court had earlier heard that an intoxicated Soosay boarded Mr Sun’s taxi after a party.

    He vomited in Mr Sun’s taxi and got off the cab near King Albert Park in Clementi Road, where he walked away without paying.

    When the cabby chased him, Soosay handed him $50.

    But after the cabby turned his back and headed towards his taxi to retrieve change, Soosay attacked Mr Sun from behind.

    VIOLENT

    He jumped on the older man’s back, knocked him to the ground and hit him several times in the face and head.

    Soosay stopped only when a passer-by went to the cabby’s assistance.

    Calling Mr Sun a victim of gratuitous violence, Judge Yeo noted that the cabby could not work for 17 days.

    Referring to the cabby’s testimony, Judge Yeo said the cabby had never seen anything like that in his 20 years as a driver, and that he has stopped picking up drunk passengers.

    Soosay offered no mitigation before sentencing. He will be appealing his sentence and has been released on $20,000 bail.

    The $1,500 compensation will still have to be paid to Mr Sun by July 15.

  • Man In Knee-Length Shorts Told To Cover Up At KLIA

    Man In Knee-Length Shorts Told To Cover Up At KLIA

    A Malaysian businessman wearing knee-length shorts was told to cover up at Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s Baggage Services Lost and Found section.

    Mr Wilson Ng was forced to put on black trousers and swap his sandals for black shoes in order to retrieve his bag.

    The incident took place on May 7, but Mr Ng only wrote about it on his blog placesandfoods.com on Thursday (June 25) after reading numerous reports on such incidents.

    Mr Ng said an officer told him that his attire did not comply with the dress code and asked him to return home to change.

    He was later given trousers and shoes to put on.

    Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd said on Friday (June 26) that the incident was due to “miscommunication”.

    It told Malay Mail Online: “First and foremost, the dress code applies for public requesting for visitor passes to enter the terminal for any official visits or work purposes. However, the dress code does not apply to passengers passing through our airports.”
