    Chinese Youth In Malaysia Beaten On Bus By Assailants High On Drugs

    A group of youths, believed to be high on drugs, assaulted a student in a bus on Sunday, China Press reported.

    Teh Kian Wei, 17, said the group of about 10 in their early 20s approached him and his female friend (not girlfriend) on the bus they were travelling in from Batu Pahat back to his house in Pontian, Johor, telling them to “go back to China”.

    He said they were on their way home at around 7.15pm after watching a movie at a mall in Batu Pahat.

    “We were seated in the last row when the youths boarded the bus.

    “They told us that this place was their ‘territory’ and asked us to go back to China,” he said.

    Despite ignoring them, Teh said the group punched and kicked him.

    “One of them even used an iron ring to hit me,” he said.

    He also added that he suffered bruises on his back, shoulder and ears.

    Teh said the bus conductor, who tried to intervene, was threatened.

    “They told the conductor they would beat him up too if he didn’t mind his own business,” he said.

    He added that his watch and a smartphone worth a total of about RM2,000 was snatched from him.

    The driver later sent Teh to a police station to lodge a report and to a government clinic for treatment.

  • Atuk-Atuk ‘Miang’ Cuci Mata Tonton Penari Bogel Di Betong Thailand

    Atuk-Atuk ‘Miang’ Cuci Mata Tonton Penari Bogel Di Betong Thailand

    Betong: Kubur kata mari rumah kata nanti, namun jiwa muda segelintir lelaki tua rakyat Malaysia yang purata umur menjangkau 70-an menyebabkan ‘kelab tarian bogel’ di pekan Betong, Thailand di sini, tidak pernah sunyi daripada dikunjungi golongan ini.

    Lebih memalukan, kewujudan Masjid Jamek Al Mahadi yang terletak kurang 200 meter dari pusat maksiat ini tidak sedikitpun mencetuskan rasa malu dalam kalangan pengunjung beragama Islam ini.

    Kumpulan lelaki warga emas yang datang berlibur ini didapati kerap memenuhi pusat hiburan sekitar Jalan Chayachawalit, Jalan Mongkolprachak dan Jalan Grandvilla 2 di sini, yang menawarkan tarian bogel serta joget tiang kepada pengunjung.

    Pusat hiburan mendapat jolokan ‘kelab atuk nakal’ ini berbeza dari pusat tarian bogel di Hatyai atau Bangkok, Thailand, berikutan ia membenarkan pelanggan menyaksikan tarian bogel pada jarak dekat dengan pentas atau tiang persembahan.

    Suasana ini, sekali gus dianggap istimewa berikutan pengunjung lelaki boleh menyentuh penari atau melihat persembahan maksiat daripada dekat.

    Ini menyebabkan lokasi pusat hiburan pernah dijadikan sasaran bom jangka puak pemisah Islam di Selatan Thailand pada 25 Julai lalu terus dikunjungi lelaki warga Malaysia tanpa rasa gusar.

    Tinjauan wartawan Metro Ahad selama tiga hari mendapati rata-rata pusat hiburan maksiat ini dipenuhi lelaki Malaysia seawal jam 3 petang saban hari.

    Antara pusat maksiat popular dalam kalangan pengunjung warga Malaysia di sini adalah Jockey Club, Gala, Sexy Dance dan Disko 008.

    Kebanyakan kelab tarian berahi ini didapati menyediakan sehingga 30 penari bogel pada satu-satu masa.

    Wanita terbabit akan menari secara bergilir-gilir di atas pentas sambil diiringi muzik rancak manakala sebahagian lagi rakan mereka melayan pelanggan yang mengerumuni pusat hiburan itu.

    Seorang lelaki warga emas yang ditemui wartawan berkata, dia sering datang ke Betong bersama tiga rakan sekurang-kurangnya dua kali sebulan.

    “Kami bukan buat dosa teguk arak macam orang lain. Datang cuci mata tengok perempuan seksi di sini…cuma dosa ringan.

    “Tak mahal pun, tiada caj masuk kelab, cuma bayar air Coke segelas dengan harga Baht 100 (RM10) kemudian boleh duduk tengok show sampai puas,” katanya yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Mat, 71.

    Peraih getah berasal dari Gerik, Perak itu berkata, pertunjukan tarian tiang atau ‘tiger show’ itu bermula seawal jam 3 petang hingga 11 malam.

    “Jadi kami tak perlu tidur di Betong. Masuk sekejap untuk tengok show dan balik ke Malaysia sebelum pintu Kompleks Imigresen Bukit Berapit di Pengkalan Hulu ditutup,” katanya.

    Seorang lagi warga emas yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Halim, 65, berkata, lokasi pusat hiburan di Betong kini kian meriah berbanding lima tahun lalu.

    “Dulu (pusat hiburan) di Betong lengang dan terkawal, namun sekarang terlalu ramai pengunjung dari Kedah dan Kuala Lumpur terutama ketika hujung minggu.

    “Terasa rimas sebab semua pusat hiburan dan tarian bogel berasak-asak dengan pelanggan lain,” katanya yang bekerja sebagai pemandu teksi.

  • Singapore Police Freezes Two Bank Accounts Linked To Malaysian Sovereign Fund

    Singapore Police Freezes Two Bank Accounts Linked To Malaysian Sovereign Fund

    Singapore’s police have frozen two bank accounts as part of an investigation linked to Malaysian sovereign fund 1MDB, which is being probed by authorities in Malaysia for financial mismanagement and graft.

    “On Jul 15, 2015, we issued orders under the Criminal Procedure Code to prohibit any dealings in respect of money in two bank accounts that are relevant to the investigation,” Singapore police said in a statement on Wednesday.

    It did not identify the bank or the accounts in question because the investigation is continuing.

    The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that investigators looking into 1MDB had traced close to US$700 million of deposits into personal bank accounts belonging to Prime Minister Najib Razak.

    Reuters has not verified the WSJ report.

    Najib has denied taking any money for personal gain and said the corruption allegations are part of a malicious campaign to force him out of office. 1MDB has denied transferring funds to Najib.

  • Mufti Perak: Reconsidering Issuing Cinema Licences As Muslims Only Go To “Beromen”

    Mufti Perak: Reconsidering Issuing Cinema Licences As Muslims Only Go To “Beromen”

    KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — Perak mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria urged authorities to reconsider awarding licences for cinemas today, claiming that Muslims frequent them not to watch films but to indulge in “hanky panky”.

    In a report by news portal Astro Awani, Harussani was quoted saying cinemas are a form of “vice” that is detrimental to the faith of Muslims in this country.

    “The cinemas themselves are a vice, what more sitting at couple seats that encourage others to commit vice in the cinemas,” Harussani told Awani.

    “No licence should have been awarded, they are there not to watch movies, but to ‘beromen’,” he added, using the Malay slang that roughly means “hanky panky”, but which is also used to mean “having sex”.

    Harussani also urged religious enforcers to nab unmarried couples whenever they see any, and not just in cinemas.

    “We spend so much money for preaching, but our own side is encouraging vice,” said Harussani.

    “The cinemas are already showing ‘romen’ stories, people who watch them want to ‘romen’ at their own seats; I don’t get why all this is happening.”

    Awani reported earlier today that a cinema outlet has banned unmarried Muslims from selecting couple’s seats — adjoining seats without an armrest separating the two — when frequenting its outlets in Perak.

    The report said that the Lotus Five Star (LFS) cinema in Seri Iskandar, a township with several tertiary education institutions, had issued the ban following “advice” from the Perak Tengah Municipal Council.

    It is unknown what by-law authorises the council to advise LFS’s management to implement the ban.

    It is also unclear how the cinema enforces the ban or what action will be taken for those who defy it.

    Malay Mail Online cannot yet reach LFS or the council for verification.

    LFS operates over 25 cinemas across the country, and is popularly known for showing Hindi and Tamil films.
