A MALAYSIAN woman was threatened by a hammer-wielding protester while holidaying in Hong Kong, Oriental Daily reported.
“Don’t assume that just because you are a woman, we dare not hit you,” the protester reportedly threatened her when she was taking a photo of the protest.
The woman recounted her experience on Facebook, claiming that she narrowly escaped injury when her boyfriend pulled her aside.
“They (the protesters) used a hammer to sweep off my hat.
“Someone hit my boyfriend’s head with a hard object. We quickly left,” she wrote.
She added that they even described Malaysians who supported the protests in Hong Kong as “naïve and stupid” as they do not understand the situation.
The city is currently in the midst of a historic protest for reforms.
> A woman in Thailand is now saddled with debt worth 3.5mil baht (RM479,796) after throwing a lavish wedding reception with her “millionaire” husband who proposed just after meeting her for a day, China Press reported.
The woman reportedly met the 50-year-old man in March who claimed to be a millionaire from Hong Kong. He proposed the next day.
After registering their marriage in March, the couple held a wedding reception at a hotel in May.
However, after the reception, the husband disappeared, forcing her to bear all the costs of the reception.
While the hotel is willing to allow her to settle the bill in instalments, their wedding planner was not so kind and plans to take legal action.
The woman has filed for divorce.
> Sin Chew Daily reported that the remedy to pain is companionship, says Hong Kong singer Sammi Cheng whose mother is suffering from a bout of shingles.
“Companionship is a painkiller. Love is a formless but powerful medicine. Being filled with love, I hope mummy can forget about the pain,” she wrote on Instagram.
Her mother recently developed shingles – a painful skin condition – on her waist.
Cheng, who is known as the Queen of Cantopop, is now spending more time with her.
