From The Star Online:

JOHOR BARU: Fugitive militant Mas Selamat Kastari (pic) found the perfect spot to hide – a secluded village in Johor unmarked on any map, not even Google Earth.

He found a traditional kampung house on stilts in Kampung Tawakal, a tiny village with a population of less than 100.

Located about 10km away from the North-South Expressway near the Kempas exit, it is almost impossible to locate for those not familiar with the area.

All around are oil palm trees and there are no signboards pointing to the village as one drives along the main road of Jalan Kampung Maju Jaya.

About 5km away sits the exclusive Starhill Golf and Country Club.

Tawakal villagers are still shocked that a fugitive, described as dangerous by the authorities, had been living in their midst.

印尼选举20万败选者 恐陷入负债、身心压力

印尼于4月17日迎来最大规模的选举,超過24万5000名候选人角逐议席,但选举尘埃落定后,也意味着有将近20万人会败选,使得他们失去工作及背上庞大债务。 身心俱疲,生活上面临极大的压力,这些败选者可能寻求宗教及医疗治疗,抚慰心灵。 在印尼,候选人在竞选期间需自行负担竞选开销,并未获得财务支援。然而,在投入大量金钱与时间后,却未必能如预期获胜,以致他们陷入败选及面临庞大债务的窘境。 压力不堪负荷,靠宗教求慰籍 候选人之一的阿都拉曼(Yayat Abdurahman译音)说道:“一开始时,我是保持乐观及有信心的,我一直认为我必须在这场竞选中获得更多的票数赢得席位,但后来,我开始疑惑了(是否参选)。” 如同其他败选者,他并未在这场竞选中获得胜选。 位于西爪哇的井里汶市,以伊斯兰信仰为主的治疗中心(Islamic Healing Centre),也是许多败选人士寻求慰籍之地。主任乌江(Ujang Busthomi)指出,这些人都经历了巨大压力,甚至失眠,因为他们已经负债,对于未来需要偿还的债务不知所措。 治疗期间,会由中心的神职人员会有净化仪式,为他们淋上浸泡花朵的圣水,祈求未来顺利平安。…

吐口水、怒骂快餐店职员 妇女造成公共滋扰被逮捕

日前在脸书上疯传,疑因久等外带食物的准备而发怒,在快餐店前怒骂职员“全家去死”并吐口水的妇女,上周被警方逮捕了。 上周三(4月22日)在脸书上疯传一名妇女对肯德基快餐店职员怒骂的视频,事发地点在实龙岗NEX购物中心的肯德基快餐店外。 视频中只见短发的妇女情绪激动,大声怒骂快餐店职员,之后更朝对方吐口水。 有关视频在社交媒体上疯传,甚至有网民感叹,“真是一种米养白种人”。 媒体在事发隔日,曾到该快餐店了解详情,却见已有便衣警员在店内进行调查跟进工作,受影响的女职员也协助调查并录取口供。 警方昨日就此事件发出文告,指事发时该快餐店曾报警求助,惟警员抵达时涉案妇女已经离开。 经过连番追查,宏茂桥分局的警员成功锁定了妇女身份,并于周五展开行动,以违反公共滋扰罪行将她逮捕,并探讨对方吐口水的行为是否已经触犯了病毒阻断措施的相关条例。 一旦公共滋扰罪名成立,妇女将可能被罚款2000元,而在知情下导致受害者受伤、感到危险或烦扰,惩罚或会改成长达三个月的监禁、或不超过2000元的罚款,或两者兼施。
