    Two British Medical Students Murdered After Pub Quarrel

    PETALING JAYA: The identities of the two British medical students stabbed to death by four local men in Kuching have been disclosed in a heartfelt posting on their university’s official Facebook page.

    Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger, were named by Newcastle University acting vice-chancellor Prof Tony Stevenson in the post which added that the students were on six-week work placement in Kuching.

    “Neil Dalton and Aidan Brunger, both 22, were on a six week work placement along with five other medical students to put the skills they had learnt during their time here at the university into practice.

    This has come as a huge shock to us all and our thoughts are with their families and friends at this very difficult time,” the posting read.

    Stevenson added that two staff members from the university were flying out to Kuching and working with the British High Commissioner to provide support to the other students there, and to arrange for their flights home.

    The comments section of the Facebook post were filled with messages of condolences.

    Dalton and Brunger were found murdered at 4.15am Wednesday with stab wounds on their chest and back after an early morning quarrel with four local men at Abell Road.

    A restaurant worker had alerted the police after witnessing the incident.

    A quarrel is alleged to have taken place between the victims and suspects while both parties were drinking at a pub. When the students left the pub on foot, the suspects pursued them in a car and one of the suspects attacked victims.

    At 6am, police arrested three of the suspects at their homes and seized the car, a knife, mobile phones. They have been remanded for seven days. The fourth suspect was arrested at 4.45pm and will be remanded today.

    The main suspect is a 23-year-old fishmonger. One of the suspects is a 29-year-old mechanic while two others are unemployed, aged 19 and 35. Two of them have previous convictions for a drug-related offence and armed robbery.

    Dalton and Brunger arrived in Sarawak in June to undergo a six-week placement at a local hospital there. They were due to complete their placement on Thursday and planned to return to Britain later this month.

  • Dr Mahathir: Johor Bahru Tidak Akan Jadi Seperti Singapura?

    1. Johor Bahru akan bertukar wajah secara radikal. Pembangunan yang dicadangkan, dengan berpuluh bangunan pencakar langit yang tinggi dan indah, dengan mercu tanda yang berbentuk ‘sky scraper’ tertinggi akan menjadikan Johor Bahru lebih menarik dan mengagumkan dari New York.

    2. Tidaklah salah jika JBB (Johor Bahru Baru) ini akan mengheret Malaysia ke era baru. Ia tetap mencerminkan kemodenan dan kemajuan Malaysia. Seperti dengan Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru akan sampai Wawasan 2020 lebih awal dari wilayah lain di Malaysia.

    3. Walau bagaimanapun soalan yang timbul ialah siapa yang akan tinggal dan bekerja dalam puluhan pencakar langit ini. Dari manakah mereka akan datang. Dari Johor Bahru? Dari Malaysia?

    4. Bangunan-bangunan ini bukanlah rumah murah. Tentulah bahan yang diguna ialah daripada marmar dan granit. Lif dan escalator memudahkan pelawat naik-turun. Di tingkat atas yang mungkin 30 atau 40 tingkat tingginya, tentulah disedia flat mewah dengan sewa puluh ribuan ringgit sebulan.

    5. Mungkinkah yang akan isi pejabat mewah ini syarikat dari Majidee atau Gelang Patah? Dan Penduduk terdiri dari orang Melayu Johor Bahru dan kampung-kampung di sekitar. Di khuatir bukan.

    6. Pada 1819 Singapura dijual kepada British oleh Temenggong dengan harga Dolar Sepanyol 60,000. Terdapat beberapa nelayan yang tinggal di pulau itu, pada ketika itu.

    7. Pendatang asing membanjiri Singapura sehingga penduduk asalnya tenggelam dalam bandar besar yang didirikan. Demikianlah besarnya jumlah pendatang asing ini sehingga Singapura menjadi negara asing yang tidak dikembalikan kepada Johor apabila British bebaskan pulau itu daripada penjajahannya.

    8. Apakah mungkin bandar indah dan mewah yang sedang didirikan tidak akan jadi satu lagi Singapura. Dalam sistem Malaysia sesiapa yang tinggal di negara ini selama 10 tahun dari 12 tahun yang lepas berhak mendapat kerakyatan. Dan kita tak pandai tolak permintaan orang. Lihat sahaja apa yang sedang berlaku sekarang.

    9. Kawasan yang akan dibangunkan ini tentu akan menjadi sebahagian dari Malaysia. Ia akan memiliki beberapa kawasan pilihanraya. Kalau pun dicantum dengan kawasan lain majoriti penduduk akan terdiri daripada warga baru ini.

    10. Sekarang kita tidak boleh sebut Melayu. Ia rasis. Tak apalah jika tidak ada seorang pun warga keturunan Melayu, asalkan yang akan mengundi dan memilih wakil rakyat terdiri dari warganegara Malaysia.

    11. Saya mengalu-alukan transformasi di Johor Bahru seperti saya alu-alukan transformasi di lain-lain tempat. Yang penting ialah Malaysia menjadi negara maju walaupun ayam dikepok mati kelaparan dan itik di air mati kehausan.
