| FB postings by teens lead to catfight Posted: 07 Nov 2012 03:16 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR: Two teenagers, who had traded insults over each other's looks in their Facebook postings, decided to settle the score in the open with a catfight that eventually became a street brawl which also involved their family members and friends. In typical catfight style, there was a lot of scratching, slapping, hair-pulling, shirt-shredding. slaps, punches and kicks which left the two girls and their supporters with a lot of bruises and lost pride. It is learnt that some of them suffered minor injuries in the incident that happened at around midnight in Kepong on Monday. It is understood the two 18-year-old girls, both from Sentul, had started their Facebook war on Sunday after commenting about each other's photo. A flurry of derogatory remarks and name-calling followed, leading to both agreeing to fight it out in Kepong. One of them brought along her husband and brother while the other came with her boyfriend and four male friends. A heated quarrel followed, which led to each side using physical force on the other. The girl who came with her husband and brother alleged that a member of the opposing side pulled out a parang and threatened to slash all three of them. Both sides later lodged police reports but no arrests have been made so far, said city CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah. "The incident is being investigated under the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, voluntarily causing hurt and causing mischief," he said yesterday. |

| Too costly to pray at Hindu temples Posted: 07 Nov 2012 03:07 PM PST HINDU temples should not impose excessive charges on devotees to offer prayers. Perinnbam Malaysia president U. Damodharan said estate workers used to visit temples daily but now many devotees were staying away because it was very costly. "This has resulted in fewer people going to temples," Makkal Osai quoted him as saying. Temples claimed that they had to impose charges to help maintain the facilities. Damodharan said the Malaysia Hindu Sangam should standardise the charges imposed by temples. He spoke to reporters after attending a function organised by Sri Iyappa Swami Devasthanam. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A 26-year-old software professional was arrested for creating a fake profile of her colleague on a social networking site and describing her as a call girl, reported Tamil Nesan. Sindhuja was upset with her lover, who is also employed in the same IT company in Thorapakkam, Chennai, as he frequently spoke to a woman at their workplace.
