> The daily also reported that a 25-year-old blogger was told to sing Negaraku to prove her nationality when she could not produce her MyKad at a police roadblock.

Police had suspected her to be a Chinese national.

The woman, who related the incident on Facebook, said she was let off after singing the national anthem.

She said she had lost her MyKad two months ago and had yet to apply for a new one.

Bukit Aman traffic police chief Senior Asst Comm Mahamad Akhir Darus said the policeman had done nothing wrong although what he did was not standard operating procedure.

> Sin Chew Daily reported that Kuala Lumpur police were upset that a foreign website had claimed that the city was the second most dangerous in Asia.

Its chief Comm Datuk Amar Singh said the claim was baseless as the crime rate in the city had declined.

It was reported earlier that worldatlas.com had released a list of most dangerous cities in Asia based on the findings from Numbeo.com.

Four cities in the country – Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Klang and Johor Baru – were named with six others as the 10 most dangerous cities in Asia.
