> Senior citizen bashed up for urinating in front of neighbour's house
A Senior citizen was beaten up by his neighbour's son after he urinated outside their house in Labis, Segamat. The suspect had accused the man of trying to attract the attention of his 60-year-old mother, who is a widow, with his behaviour. The senior citize, Tey Ah Lek, 72, who was hit with a belt and punched claimed he has poor bladder control and therefore, was forced to take a leak in public. "It was unintentional. We have lived here (in the neighbourhood) for many years and maybe because the window was dark, I didn't notice that my act had been seen by others," Tey said. Segamat OCPD Supt Mohd Kamil Sukarmi confirmed that the victim has lodged a police report and that the suspect would be called in to assist investigations.
> Husband divorces shopaholic wife
A husband has reportedly divorced his shopaholic housewife over the stress caused by her spendthrift behaviour. It is understood that he had called the marriage off two years ago, after his wife, 30-year-old Lina, couldn't control her compulsive shopping habit and spent a lot of money on luxury brands such as Prada, Chanel and Gucci. Lina has said that before their marriage, she was able to satisfy her expensive taste from her monthly salary of RM8,000. However, she had quit the job to become a full-time housewife. She said she thought he could support her based on his income as a contractor. "He had once refused to buy me a RM13,000 bag because he said he couldn't afford it. I locked myself in the toilet because I couldn't accept the harsh reality," Lina said. "My husband has suggested I sekk professional help. But the shopping addiction is difficult to overcome," she confessed. She tried moving back to hometown of Jitra, Kedah, to stay away from luxury boutiques but the plan didn’t work. She said she has since signed up for a counselling programme.
