Asian Women Are Attracted to the Body Smell of African Men

They shower gifts and money on their girlfriends but that’s not what drives some Malaysian women crazy about African men – it’s their body odour, Harian Metro reported.

Forty-year-old Maria, who claimed to have fallen out of love with three local men, including her ex-husband who neglected her, said she became attracted to African men while working as a salesgirl in Ampang seven years ago.

Relating her affair with Izem, a Nigerian in his 30s, Maria said it started as a casual friendship but quickly blossomed into romance.

“We got intimate as I could not resist his body odour each time we went out or had meals together,” she said.

“Although it was unpleasant in the beginning, I became used to it, then was attracted by it,” said Maria, adding that it came to a point where she became addicted to her boyfriend’s body odour.

She said his dark complexion was not an issue as Izem, who claimed to be a student at a local institute of higher learning, was young and athletic.

“Maybe that is why he has that body odour,” she said, confessing that African men were “romantic, caring and gentle”.

Maria, who was detained in 2008 for her part in an Internet scam, said she had met other African men and they all exuded the same natural odour that made her feel relaxed whenever she was with them.

She claimed that her women friends were just as fascinated with the Africans as she was.

On her relationship with Izem, Maria said they were no longer together as he had been detained since April last year over an Internet crime. However, she added: “I will never forget him.”

BEWARE: Malaysian Officers Scam Using Touch ‘n Go Card

All Touch ‘n Go card users, beware!

To all Touch ‘n Go card users, please beware when you top up your Touch ‘n Go cards at exit counters at highway tolls.

Yesterday (10 July 2014) at 6:27 pm, I was travelling from Gelang Patah towards Taman Perling/Tampoi area using the Secondlink Highway. As I wasn’t sure how much balance there was in my Touch ‘n Go card, I decided to exit the highway via the ‘Tambah Nilai’ toll counter at Taman Perling toll station.

Obviously I was in the car at that time, I requested the counter staff to check my card balance before deciding how much to top up. The staff told me that there was RM19.70. So I handed RM50 to him and asked him to top up RM30. When he was almost done, I requested for a receipt. When the receipt was being printer, he suddenly uttered the word ‘Isshh’ which seemed like something had gone wrong. I asked him what had happened but he didn’t say anything. Once receipt was ready, he handed my Touch ‘n Go card and receipt to me. When I reached out my hand to take it, he suddenly pulled his hand back and hesitated for a second. Then, he took out RM20 (2 RM10 notes) from the cashier machine and handed it together with my card and receipt. I didn’t suspect anything as I thought his behavious was due to his being forgetting to give me the RM20 change.

Once I drove off, I looked at the receipt and realised something was amiss and in fact, confusing. The receipt shows balance before top up as RM29.70 (instead of RM19.70 as what I was told). The refill amount is RM20 and not RM30 as I have requested. Immediately, I pulled over and called my husband to ask how much was the balance in the card as he was the one using the card most of the time. He said more than RM20. I asked if he was sure and he was pretty sure. Note that I didn’t tell him what had happened at the toll counter being asking him.

Clearly, the counter staff had the intention to cheat me and apparently had successfully cheated me of RM10. He told me the balance was RM19.70 and he only topped up RM20 to my card. Telling me RM10 less than the actual amount in the card is to cover up his wrong doing. After topping up of RM20, my actual card balance is RM49.70 (19.70 + 30 = 29.70 + 20) and I naturally I would not have discovered that if I hadn’t asked for a receipt. He is able to do that as people usually just drive off and won’t be able to go back immediately to have things clear up. I wanted to go back but I could only drive off as I had two young kids in the car then.

I recall my mother told me that she was almost cheated of RM50 at a toll counter too. She handed RM100 for topup but only RM50 was filled into the card. Fortunately, my mother did look at the receipt before driving off. When she told the counter staff, her (the staff) behaviour was as though she had already known it!

I feel that I should warn others of this incidence so that others will not get cheated like I was. My mother and I were lucky because the amount I was cheated is small. I am sure many people are not as lucky. So, do request for receipt and verify it before driving off!

Anggota Ruffedge Rogol Anak Tiri Dihukum 20 Tahun Penjara, 10 Sebatan

SHAH ALAM – Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam mengekalkan hukuman 20 tahun penjara dan 10 sebatan terhadap bekas anggota kumpulan Ruffedge atas kesalahan merogol anak tirinya, dua tahun lalu.

Hakim Nurchaya Arshad mengekalkan keputusan itu sekali gus menolak permohonan rayuan perayu terhadap sabitan dan hukuman.

Menurutnya, hukuman yang diputuskan oleh hakim mahkamah sesyen itu adalah setimpal terhadap kesalahan yang dilakukan.

“Rogol bukan sahaja kesalahan serius malah lebih menyedihkan lagi apabila mangsa menghadapi trauma sepanjang hayatnya.

“Kita tidak mahu anak, adik, kakak mahupun ibu diperlakukan sebegitu,” katanya, hari ini.

Beliau berkata, sepatutnya perayu yang telah berkahwin dengan ibu mangsa melindungi anak kecil itu walaupun bergelar bapa tiri.

“Seorang bapa perlulah melindungi anaknya,” katanya.

Berdasarkan pertuduhan, lelaki itu didakwa merogol anak tirinya pada ketika itu berusia 14 tahun di sebuah rumah di Gombak, Selangor.

Perbuatan itu didakwa dilakukan jam 9 pagi pada 2 Februari 2012.

Pendakwaan dikendalikan oleh Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Faizah Mohd Salleh mengikut Seksyen 376(3) Kanun Keseksaan yang memperuntukkan hukuman penjara sehingga 30 tahun dan minimum 10 sebatan.

Perayu yang juga guru vokal diwakili peguam, Azmin Talib.

Sebelum ini, Hakim Mahkamah Sesyen Kajang, Nor Hazani Hamzah menjatuhkan hukuman itu pada 6 September 2013.

Failed Policies of UMNO Are to Blame For Certain Lazy Malays

IT is wrong to single out one type of people as lazy and it does nothing to improve the situation, says Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) chief executive officer Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.

He was commenting on a speech by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who said that shamelessness and laziness are holding back Malays.

“Being lazy is an attitude of some people. It happens everywhere and not only among Malays,” says Saifuddin.

Instead, Saifuddin suggests that what is needed is to improve the attitude of all Malaysians, not just limiting such efforts to any one ethnic group, as well as positive encouragement.

“We should celebrate successful people and motivate others to emulate them.

“Continuously nagging people will not make any difference,” says the former Deputy Education Minister.

PKR deputy information chief Sim Tze Tzin accuses Dr Mahathir of simply trying to cause provocation. He says failed policies have caused Malays to seem as though they are lazy.

“Dr Mahathir is just trying to provoke Malay insecurity by comparing them with other people.

“The Malays that I know, who work in Bayan Baru and Bayan Lepas factories, are among the best in the world.

“They are hard-working and disciplined and they come from all over the country,” says Sim, who is also the MP for Bayan Baru.

He says this showed that Malays are not lazy and could stand toe-to-toe or shoulder-to-shoulder with any people in the world.

However, he says failed policies, including practices initiated by Dr Mahathir himself, are to blame in cases where certain Malays could be seen as lazy.

“His policies are what has made certain Malays very lazy, such as cronies who get projects and immediately pass them out to contractors.

“This is the policy laid out by Dr Mahathir that made some elite Malays very lazy,” says Sim.

But, he adds, that it is not only the elites that have lost out in some way due to failed policies but also the poor.

“Failed policies of Umno are destroying their economic prospects. Cheap labour from Indonesia or Myanmar are suppressing the low wages of Malaysians, of low-income families, the majority of whom are Malays.

“At the end of the day, because of cheap labour, they give up.

“Not because they are lazy, but because of the cheap wages, they cannot sustain themselves,” says Sim, adding that low pay provides a “disincentive” to work.

“Don’t blame the Malays, blame the policies,” says Sim in conclusion.

Chinese and Myanmar Workers Are More Honest Than Malays

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — Ethnic Chinese and even the migrant Myanmar workers are more honest compared to the native Malays where money is concerned, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today as he continued his decades-old belief of inherent racial weaknesses to explain the economic failures of Malaysia’s largest community.

The former prime minister also claimed that many Malays do not pay back their debts, and therefore many companies prefer to award contracts to the Chinese, whom he insisted were more trustworthy.

“Now I have a bakery. I want to say honestly, I am ashamed because among the Malay, Chinese or Burmese or any other workers, the Malay ones sometimes when they see money they forget themselves, they become dishonest,” Dr Mahathir told Umno-controlled Malay paper, Mingguan Malaysia in an exclusive interview published today.

Dr Mahathir is the chairman of The Loaf, a chain of Japanese-inspired bakery which first opened in Langkawi in 2006.

“Whenever the [Malay workers] see money, if they can swipe the money, they will. I have fired a lot of Malays because of this attitude. But the Chinese are not like that,” the veteran Umno politician said.

According to Dr Mahathir, some of his Malay managers have even tried to collude with his workers to cheat the outlets of money.

He also claimed that there are also cases where the managers did not deposit the outlets’ money in the bank, or have swindled the money by not recording the proper amount of sales.

“When we’re trustworthy, when we want to lend money, people will give because they know we will pay it. How many Malays when they borrow money, they don’t pay back?” asked Dr Mahathir.

He singled out as an example, those who received scholarships but refused to pay them back despite having the money to do so.

“We have to be trustworthy so people will give contracts to us. When we want to give contracts, we give to the Chinese instead because we know they will do their work properly. This is our weakness, not trustworthy,” added Dr Mahathir.

Dr Mahathir was widely panned last week after he described Malays as being lazy and dishonest in a speech last Thursday.

The 89-year-old said Malaysia’s largest race group lacks good values, ethics and were not hardworking enough, which he said has caused them to trail behind the other races economically.

In response to criticisms, Dr Mahathir said he was only calling a spade a spade: “I have never wanted to fool myself. If they’re lazy, I call them lazy. If people don’t like it, then be it. When I was Umno president, I used to nag all the time.”

Dr Mahathir is a staunch defender of race-based affirmative action policies as prescribed by the New Economic Policy, an economic model mooted in 1971 to close the socio-economic gap between the largely-urban Chinese and the rural Malays as well as other indigenous Bumiputera.

However, the former prime minister has admitted in the past that the programme has made the Malays more complacent while noting that the system had been abused to enrich only a few elites who were close to the ruling party.

But the man who ran the country from 1983 to 2003 has continued to defend the policy, saying it was still needed to help the Malays compete and bridge the income disparity among the races.
