| Woman finds out she’s really a man Posted: 09 Nov 2012 03:34 PM PST A TEACHER was stunned to find out that she was genetically a man after living as a woman for 25 years, Nanyang Siang Pau reported. The woman, known only as Zhang from China's Hubei province, was reported to be very attractive with many men wanting to date her. Recently, she went to the hospital to check why she never had her period as she planned to get married and have babies. She was told that she was a hermaphrodite with sexual organs of both sexes. An ultrasound showed that Zhang had a vagina but no womb. It also found two shadows in her abdomen that were believed to be testicles. Doctors further confirmed that Zhang was a man according to chromosomes; and performed a surgery to remove her testicles as she chose to live as a woman. Zhang can have sexual relations but can never get pregnant. > Major Chinese dailies reported that Cantopop star Aaron Kwok proposed to his Chinese model girlfriend Lynn Xiong during a holiday in Maldives.

Harian Metro reported that the man managed to convince a businessman to part with RM2.4mil by promising lottery numbers that were guaranteed to win the top prize. Quoting a source, the daily said the conman was contacted by his unsuspecting victim, who was intrigued after reading a flyer advertising the former's alleged abilities. The suspect initially asked for the victim's personal details, and later told the victim to deposit an unknown sum of money into an account with the promise of a winning lottery number. "After the victim deposited the money, he was not given the winning lottery number as promised. However, the man managed to convince the victim to make nine more transactions involving a total of RM2.4mil into different accounts," said the source.
