| RM900,000 payment for child support Posted: 26 Feb 2013 03:36 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR: The Syariah High Court has granted an order by Shahnaz A. Majid, the former daughter-in-law of Sarawak chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, requiring her former husband to pay an interim maintenance of RM902,746.69. The interim maintenance applied by Shahnaz was for expenses incurred for their son since she and Datuk Seri Mahmud Abu Bekir divorced on March 11, 2011. High Court Syarie judge Mohd Amran Mat Zain made the order after allowing Shahnaz's ex-parte application in chambers yesterday. Judge Mohd Amran ordered Mahmud to pay the amount within 12 days from yesterday. Syarie counsel Dr Rafie Mohd Shafie and Akbardin Abdul Kader represented Shahnaz. Akbardin told reporters that the expenses covered lodging, food and fees for their son's pre-university studies in Britain. He said the application was made under Section 201 of the Syariah Court Civil Procedure (Federal Territories) which allows parties to apply for an interim order on maintenance. Last month, the court fixed March 13 and 14 for the child support claim trial. On Nov 30 last year, Shahnaz, the older sister of singer Datuk Sheila Majid, said in her statement of claim that she and Mahmud were married on Jan 9, 1992 and divorced on May 11, 2011. They have a son, Raden Murya, 19. Shahnaz said that under the divorce order, the boy would be under her custody but there was no agreement on his maintenance. Shahnaz alleged her former husband had failed to pay any maintenance after their divorce. She is claiming an education trust fund of RM40mil and a RM60mil London terrace house. She is also seeking tuition fees in Britain amounting to RM315,000, two Aston Martin cars, air travel for six times a year, RM10,000 for books, RM72,000 pocket money, RM5mil medical insurance and monthly pocket money for two years totalling RM72,000. Shahnaz had earlier filed a claim of RM300mil in matrimonial property and RM100mil in mutaah (gifts) as a divorce settlement. She is also claiming 50% of all assets owned by Mahmud. The hearing is ongoing.

| Man builds ‘luxury villa’ for departed wife Posted: 26 Feb 2013 03:31 PM PST A 53-year-old man spent RM10,000 on a paper effigy of a luxury villa for his wife who died three years ago. The villa, made by six workers in three weeks, featured a badminton court, a swimming pool, an automatic gate and all sorts of electrical items as well as furniture, China Press reported. Wu Chun Fa said he loved his wife very much and he hoped she could also "enjoy" life after she died. "I am very satisfied with the design of the villa," he said, adding that the paper effigy of the villa would be burnt after a prayer ceremony that would be held from March 1-3 in Segamat. > China Press reported about a 11-year-old boy who stole a female rabbit from a neighbouring house and replaced it with a male one. The boy did not show any remorse when he was caught. A 76-year-old man said that the boy used to play with his grandchildren and neighbour's children in his house in Batu Pahat prior to the incident. "My daughter-in-law spotted the boy with a rabbit at about 4pm on Sunday so we went to check our rabbits. "None of the rabbits were missing so we thought everything was okay. "Later in the day, my son found that one of the male rabbits in the cage was not his," he said. Eventually, the boy and his mother came to return the rabbit after the mother found out that the boy had stolen the rabbit. The boy refused to step out from the car and apologise to the man. ● Other News & Views is compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).
