| Give us the titles you promised, Coalfield folk tell Selangor MB Posted: 05 Dec 2011 03:11 PM PST RESIDENTS in Kampung Sri Aman, Coalfield, in Sungai Buloh have asked the Selangor government to issue them land titles instead of trying to relocate them, reported Malaysia Nanban. The residents said Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim had promised them titles within three months if PKR won power in Selangor during the last general election. Khalid who met the residents in Sungai Buloh yesterday said the previous state government had entered into a joint venture with a private developer in 2001 to develop the area and therefore the land titles could not issued as he had promised. He said matter was taken to court and, on Oct 25, the court ruled in favour of the residents. He said the state government had three proposals to build houses for the residents, develop the area into a housing estate or issue land titles. He said the views of the residents would be sought before a final decision was made. > The paper also reported that Barisan Nasional secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the Government was ready to help Indian youngsters become successful. After a gathering of 7,000 Indian youths organised by Kajang Recreation Club at the Mines Conference Hall in Seri Kembangan on Saturday, he said more job opportunities were being created for Indian youths. > Police are questioning a 38-year-old man for allegedly keeping his wife's rotting body at his home for three days after she committed suicide following a tiff between them in Chennai, South India, reported Makkal Osai.

| African students create a ruckus in Mantin Posted: 05 Dec 2011 03:11 PM PST IMMIGRATION officers, who had detained several African students who had flouted regulations, faced a standoff with other students in Mantin, Berita Harian reported. It said the other Africans, who were unhappy over the detention of their coursemates, started verbally abusing the Immigration officers at about 4.30am. One of the students drove a car to block and prevent the Immigration vehicle with about 50 students from moving. A scuffle broke out between the Immigration officers and students, but the timely intervention of Rela officers prevented any untoward incident. State enforcement chief Abdul Kadir Hussin said the students always created problems whenever operations were being carried out. He said two students had been detained for obstructing civil servants from carrying out their duties while 46 others, most of them Africans, were detained in the seven-hour operation for having expired student passes, overstaying and having forged passports. Abdul Kadir said a 24-year-old woman who was caught for "close proximity" with an African in an apartment unit had been handed over to the Negri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department. > Sinar Harian reported that a young girl was molested while sleeping at her home in Jertih last Wednesday. The girl's mother, a shop assistant, thought her daughter had been raped when she saw "redness" around the girl's private parts. The girl cannot remember anything apart from recalling a man in trousers in her room. She was sent to the USM Hospital in Kubang Kerian where doctors confirmed she had not been raped.

| Karpal: Datukships put DAP in ‘awkward spot’ Posted: 05 Dec 2011 03:11 PM PST DAP national chairman Karpal Singh regrets that two party leaders had accepted the Datukship awards bestowed on them by their respective Rulers, reported Nanyang Siang Pau. He said Perak DAP chairman Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham and Selangor Assembly Speaker Datuk Teng Chang Khim's acceptance of the award had put the party in an "awkward spot". "Their acceptance was not in line with the party's stand and principle as only party members who had retired or were not politically active are allowed to accept titles," he said. Ngeh and Teng were conferred titles in 2008 and 2010 respectively. Asked if their refusal would be perceived as an insult to the Rulers, Karpal said it was the party's stand and therefore, would not be deemed an insult. > Sin Chew Daily reported that teenage girls nowadays were ready to "sell their bodies" for a fee. Among contents posted by the girls on forums and Facebook were charges for each session, their vital statistics and places where their services could be performed. They were mostly students who cited money as the reason for their willingness to become "social escorts". One of them, a 19-year-old from Ipoh, needed the money to buy branded items. Another girl, who calls herself "little fish", said being a "social escort" was her part-time job as she was still a college student. Their actions have won the admiration of 2,500 forum members, with some male members even sharing their experiences after their trysts with the girls. > The daily also reported that five Taiwanese tourists claimed that they lost RM20,000 to a bogus cop while shopping in Petaling Street. One, known as Lim, said the man who looked like a West Asian, stopped them at the popular shopping area. He said at first, they ignored the man in plainclothes, although the suspect had flashed a "police identification card". "But when he whipped out a gun, we became fearful and allowed him to conduct a body search. "After taking all our money, he ran to a car parked nearby and fled," he told Taiwan media. Lim only learnt about a syndicate in Malaysia which targeted foreign tourists after returning to Taiwan.
