The mother of Berjaya Corp's founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan had taken the opportunity to ask Lau about his daughter when the actor-cum-singer attended a function at the Berjaya Times Square on Saturday. Low Siew Beng, 86, had asked Lau, who was sitting next to her during the function, if it was true that his daughter resembled him. "I heard that your daughter looks like you. Is that true?" she asked. Sin Chew Daily reported that Lau had smiled and merely nodded his head. Asked if his wife, Malaysian Carol Chu, and daughter were in Malaysia with him, Lau again smiled and nodded his head but declined to comment further. It was reported that the Hong Kong media was willing to pay about RM397,000 for the first picture of Lau's daughter, adding that the superstar had never shown her photograph. Lau had said on his official fan page that he would not be posting photographs of his daughter. > China Press reported that a 20-year-old pregnant woman had accused a curry puff seller of molesting her on the pretext of giving her a massage.

| Many younger women willing to marry Pak Berahim Posted: 24 Feb 2013 03:08 PM PST DESPITE his age and poor health, many younger women are willing to marry veteran radio performer Ibrahim Othman. The 83-year-old expressed his wish to marry again in a Metro Ahad interview on Feb 10 . Pak Berahim, as he is called, said he wanted a wife as his seven children have abandoned him.

Following the interview, 13 women, including a 23-year-old single mother, have expressed interest in becoming Ibrahim's wife. > A lorry driver was hacked to death by a group of men for stealing a sack of bananas.

| Paralysed Tan has a genuine friend in Chua to care for him Posted: 24 Feb 2013 03:07 PM PST JOHOR BARU: James Taylor's You've Got A Friend rang true for factory worker Chua Bee Yong, who came running to help her friend when he became paralysed after a fall. Chua, 48, had known Tan Chin Wai, 50, through work for several years. Six months ago, Tan slipped and fell as he was coming out of a toilet in Singapore. And just like the lyrics "when you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand", Chua has stood by Tan since then. Chua, who has four grown-up children who live elsewhere, said she brought Tan to her home in Bukit Indah and has been taking care of him for the past six months. "It is challenging as I have to bathe, feed and clean him. I have to spend about RM2,000 on medication for him," she said. While she is at work, Tan's other friends would take care of him. According to Chua, Tan had fractured his neck during the fall. "He has to go for another operation which will hopefully improve his condition," she said. Chua said that she had contacted the Welfare Department, which indicated that Tan would be provided with RM150 monthly. "That amount is not enough," she said in frustration, but she did not have the heart to abandon Tan. Johor Baru MCA Public Complaints Bureau deputy chairman Michael Tay said that Tan needed about RM300,000 for the operation. "Those interested in donating can contact me at 019-7778 935 or bank in their donations to MCA Cawangan Bandar Baru Tampoi account (Hong Leong Bank Berhad, Account No: 08200027036)," he said. |
