It happened just like a scene in the movies. Except that it was no comedy. The kidnappers were serious in their intent. The girl somehow managed to escape her kidnappers and finally a tale like this is told to the public. It offers a glimpse into a world few knew exist or believes it could exist. It could explain the disappearance of girls in the past or could this just be a flash in the pan?

In my hometown, a teenage girl made a report to the police that she was raped by a man she befriended at a cyber cafe a few hours earlier. He was probably charming and aroused her interest. He took her out and later under the pretext of meeting a friend, he took her to a hotel room. There was no one there but once the door was closed, she found her way out blocked. The same day the girl lodged a report at the Central Police Station.

It was every family’s worst nightmare. At 6a.m. a Mitsubishi Storm turned up at the home of the Tan family. While the driver remained in the car, the other three broke in. They ransacked the house. Then they demanded for the family car. The family could not immediately remember the whereabouts of the keys to their car and this enraged the robber. He slashed the family. The family was too stunned to fight back but when he slashed the four year old grand-daughter, the grandmother shouted for her husband and sons to fight back. When the police arrived, they found the gruesome remains of the robber in the house. The police are still searching for the other three robbers.
In the meantime, the neighbors had alerted the police.
A few things I want to highlight. The family fought back. A wise or unwise act, no one knew at that time but looking back, it probably saved their lives. The woman galvanized them into action. The neighbors alerted the police. The police came immediately. The family is very fortunate to be alive.

Malaysians are very fortunate that they have access to medical care for as little as RM1.00. This is something many Malaysians take for granted. For RM5.00 they can even see a specialist. Granted, by and by service is not perfect or immediate but it is available.
For me, I do not take this for granted. I do go to the hospital clinics and hospitals. Why not? They have quality medicine. The mighty ringgit a foreigner told me when I told him I only paid RM1.00 for a visit to the hospital.

It is with deep sadness I learned of a family of five who perished in a fire at Kampung Chempaka last week. The half brother is quoted to have said he hopes God will punish those responsible for the incident.
I can empathize with him as these raw words indicate how hopeless he feels in the onslaught of this great tragedy that has befallen his family.

I created my curry chicken rice by accident. I was experimenting and it came out ok. My wife commented that it would have been like nasi beryani if I had dhal curry. She is just being kind. But it tasted very nice. You can try it sometime. Don’t sue me as I am no chef: just playing around in the kitchen.
Just wanted to share this video from youtube with the readers. Spirit of the jungle is at the end of the clip. The first part is an interview with an actress. By the way, the results of the DNA tests of Altantuya will be known today.
It is easier to be a barber, teacher, or a beautician rather than a doctor. Most people equate doctors with bad news. They are a necessary evil in life. I laugh as I wonder what Bernard or doc will think as they read this .
We need them. They are essential in our lives but we don’t want to visit them in a professional capacity.

So happy to be home. I don’t think Benghui missed me. When I arrived, Bengbeng and I had to go look for him. He was occupied.
