| Narcotics officer finds drugs on drunk who picked a fight Posted: 11 Nov 2012 03:26 PM PST A DRUNK who picked a fight with a narcotics officer found himself put behind bars after the officer busted him for drug possession. In the 10pm incident on Saturday, the Chief Inspector was looking for parking in an area when another car suddenly reversed and nearly hit his, prompting him to honk at the driver, reported Metro Ahad. It reported that the car's owner got out and challenged the Chief Inspector to a fight. Raub district police chief Supt Wan Samsudin Wan Osman said the man in his 30s was believed to be drunk at the time. He said the officer called for backup from the district police headquarters. "As soon as they got the call, a police unit rushed to the scene," said Supt Wan Samsudin. "The suspect was apprehended in a few minutes and police found a suspicious substance on him that was later confirmed to be drugs," he said. > In another report by the tabloid, a woman in her 60s was arrested on suspicion of being a pimp to some 60 foreign guest relations officers. The woman was busted along with her employees during a raid at an entertainment centre in Jalan Imbi by the Gambling, Secret Society and Vice Division (D7) of the Dang Wangi police headquarters on Saturday. District police chief Asst Supt Zainudin Ahmad said the raid, carried out following a tip-off from the public, resulted in the arrest of 50 Vietnamese, nine China nationals and a Cambodian woman.

| Mum’s plea helps save boy from being taken hostage Posted: 11 Nov 2012 03:25 PM PST FOUR robbers tried to take a 10-year-old child hostage after they ransacked his house in Johor Baru on Saturday. The 30-year-old distressed mother pleaded with the robbers not to take her son away. The robbers released her son after she promised not to lodge a police report, China Press reported. The mother was with her three children, aged between two and 10, when the robbers broke into their house at about 8.40am after her husband had left for work. She sought the help of neighbours after the robbers had left and lodged a police report, it reported. > The newspaper also reported of Datuk Lee Chong Wei's father saying that the national shuttler's 90-year-old grandmother had wanted to attend his wedding dinner reception in Kuala Lumpur. However, no arrangement was made for her attendance at the event. Lee Ah Chai said Chong Wei's grandmother had to spend the day in an old folks home instead. "As far as I know, Chong Wei had visited his grandmother when he came back from his pre-wedding photo shoots a few weeks ago. "He did tell her that he was going to get married. However, I am not sure if he had promised to take her to his wedding ceremony," said Ah Chai. The 61-year-old father told reporters, who were at his house in Butterworth when Saturday's wedding dinner reception was aired "live" on television, that he would not watch it. On Saturday, Ah Chai made headlines in major Chinese dailies when he told the media that he was not invited for the wedding dinners in Kuala Lumpur.

| Grim Deepavali for 153 in Sentul Posted: 11 Nov 2012 03:24 PM PST TAMIL Nesan reported of 153 residents of Kampung Railway in Sentul who would be having a bleak Deepavali this year as they have been slapped with a court eviction order from developer Sentul Raya Sdn Bhd. They staged a demonstration at the entrance of their century-old settlement with banners and placards. The High Court had declared Sentul Raya as the rightful owner of the land and had issued the eviction order on Oct 30. The residents are now demanding for Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and Sentul Raya to issue a letter of commitment to fulfil an earlier promise of building low-cost apartments as compensation. Their lawyer Abdul Rashid Ibrahim said the residents were not asking for free units but would buy them at a discounted price. He claimed that prior to the court's decision, Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Deputy Minister Datuk M. Saravanan had pledged during a meeting that low-cost apartments would be built by the developer. He said the residents were informed that they would obtain the commitment letter from the developer on Nov 4, but there was no news of this so far. > Malaysia Nanban reported that an impostor, who sold the kidney of a woman after promising to marry her, was arrested by Hyderabad police in Southern India on Friday.
