I am however glad to say nothing ‘unfortunate’ happened and he held Kek’s six-year-old son in his hand and her two daughters, aged four and ten stood beside him. After placing the joss sticks before the coffin, the man hugged his parents and victim’s mother. He is a close relative of the victim.

Public apathy or tidakapathy for homeless children in prosperous Miri

tidakapathy
Pic courtesy of the Borneo Post

It was a comedy of errors but not funny at all. Senadin assemblyman Lee Kim Shin received a call from a woman who was shocked to see children legs among some cupboard boxes strewn like rubbish. He rushed to the scene expecting the worst and it was indeed true. He called the police and also called for an ambulance.

Upon closer inspection, the children were not hurt, just deep asleep and an almost empty tin of glue was found nearby. The commotion made by the crowd and the cold woke the children up. Apparently they survive by begging for food and money. Many had closed their eyes to their plight as they had gotten used to them.

When I think of these two children aged aprroximately between seven and ten, I wonder how could fate have been so cruel to them especially in a city like Miri. Miri is a very prosperous city. But perhaps fate is on their side. Now that their case has been publicised , perhaps better times are ahead. At least they will receive a roof over their heads and regular meals.

Perhaps God had his eyes over them and couldn’t stomach their plight any more.

Guy sick and still sick since encounter with female ghost

DSCN1823

This pic caused quite a stir today in Sibu when it was published in the See Hua Daily news. It is hard for me to say if it is photoshopped or anything but some believe it to be a true story. I welcome computer experts to give their views on this pic. This Iban man had no idea he was not alone when he had this photograph taken.

When the photograph was developed, he was as shocked as anybody else. The matter didn’t end there. He got sick and the bomoh ( local shaman or witch doctor ) couldn’t exorcise the ghost. The bomoh said that the female ghost wanted the young man and wouldn’t leave him. It could be another April fool prank except that local villagers say that the guy is really sick.

The guy is from Engsurai.

Update: 24/04/07
According to the latest rumour, the guy is still sick. Some Ibans have suggested slaughtering a big pig to appease the spirit and coax it to leave the man.

The price of love

girls in coffeeshop

‘Love is a many-splendoured thing’ croons the singer while patrons at an entertainment outlet mentally count the night’s cost in ringgit and sen. How much would you spend for your love?

Few would balk at the cast of a single date, or even a trip outstation but what is the limit you would set? Love is immeasurable and cannot be defined so how do we quote a price of love?

Father and son hurt in gas stove explosion

A father and his son were hurt when a gas stove exploded in their home.

Most of us take our gas stove for granted. It is not put in a display cabinet for example but its utility makes it indispensable to all families. Perhaps it is high time for mylongkang readers to check our gas stove and the hose.
