Man locks naked wife out

A MAN forced his wife to stand naked in front of their house and neighbours in Ketereh, Kelantan, after a fight, reported Sinar Harian.

During the incident last month, the 31-year-old woman had just finished taking her bath when her husband suddenly got angry and started to tear off her clothes.

He then dragged her outside to the front of their house.

“I was clinging to his leg at the time, begging him not to leave me in that embarrassing state outside the house, but he ignored me for 15 minutes,” said the mother of one.

She said she felt humiliated when neighbours passing by saw her naked, adding that they were too afraid to help.

During the fight, the woman also suffered bruises to her thigh and arm, and both her face and forehead were swollen where her 50-year-old husband had beaten her.

Since they married four years ago, she said her husband often beat her.

“I was badly beaten once just because I changed his name in my handphone from husband to his nickname,” she said, adding that she had since lodged a police report.

The woman claimed, however, that her husband had become short-tempered only after recently taking another wife.

Kota Baru deputy police chief Supt Setapa Yusoff confirmed receiving the report.

> Kosmo! reported that a restaurant in Kemanyan Square, Serem­ban, was closed by state health authorities after a picture of its roti canai with cockroaches went viral.

State Health director Dr Abdul Rahim Abdullah said an inspection found the premises to be dirty.

“We carried out the inspection jointly with the Seremban Municipal Council based on information on social media. There were many cockroaches,” he told the daily.

A woman, who claimed she bought the roti canai, had shared the picture on Facebook.

Abdul Rahim said the premises had been inspected in February but then, the cleanliness level was at 80% compared with 52.5% on Wednesday.

“When the order for the closure expires, our officers will inspect the premises again,” he said.
