MELAKA: Crows have become a menace here, driving residents to despair while leaving one local councillor trying to figure out why the birds are targeting women’s undies.

Melaka Historic City (MBMB) councillor Tan Chin Gwan said he was perplexed by why crows were snatching undergarments placed on clotheslines, especially at the city's commercial hub of Kota Laksamana.
