DJ Royce Tan distressed by lack of closure over his mother’s murder

KUALA LUMPUR: Radio DJ Royce Tan said he has endured severe distress after the murder of his mother last year and the pain has been worsened by the slow pace in bringing the alleged murderer to justice.
At a press conference held at the office of his lawyer Gobind Singh Deo here on Wednesday, a tearful Tan said that a delay in completing the post-mortem report had delayed court proceedings several times.
Tan's mother Lai Kam Lian was discovered stabbed to death outside the compound of her house in Taman Sri Segambutat about 9.45pm on Dec 1 last year.
Hair dresser Lim Kang Wee, 29, was arrested the next day and charged in the Magistrate's Court on Dec 15 for the murder of the My FM Mandarin radio station deejay's mother.
The court allowed Lim, who was once a mental patient, to be sent to Hospital Bahagia Tanjung Rambutan, Perak, for observation.
Lim's lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said the case had been called up seven times so far in the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court, but could not be transferred to the High Court for trial due to the delay in completing the post-mortem report.
“In today's practice it usually takes about two to three months, at most, for a post mortem report to be prepared.”
He said that a prolonged delay would jeopardise the fairness of the trial as the memories of witnesses would fade over time.
Gobind, who is also MP for Puchong, said he had written to the Attorney General about the matter a few weeks ago and would also be raising the matter in his Budget speech.
The case has been sent for mention at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court on Thursday.

Where: Compound of her house in Taman Sri Segambutat

Group hired to kill me, says DJ


JOHOR BARU: A local radio station DJ went through a harrowing experience when she was abducted by a group of men who threatened to kill and burn her.
Julie Diana Omar Shariff, 34, who has been a DJ for Best 104 for eight years, was driving home to Kampung Sungai Danga when the 1am incident took place on Saturday.
“A group of eight men in two cars blocked my car and one of them barged into my vehicle and pointed a gun at my neck.
“He then covered my face with a cloth and tied my hands before driving me off in the vehicle,” she said.
Julie added that one of the men told her that they were hired to kidnap, kill and burn her.
“They told me that someone had told them to do so because I had refused to reciprocate his love,” she said, adding that during the journey, one of the men received a call from an unknown person who told them that they were not allowed to rape or harm her.
She was then taken to a plantation where the group took away her valuables including her cellphone, jewellery and RM20,000.
“One of them even pricked my thumb,” she said, adding that she was then released but suffered minor injuries due to the pushing and shoving.
She said she was surprised that the men gave her some money and a bottle of water, and returned her driving licence.
Julie, who did not know who hired the gang, lodged a report at the Ayer Bemban police station.
Johor CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Dr Hashim Haron said police had arrested two suspects. “We nabbed the duo, in their early 40's, between 4pm and 6pm on Sunday and are looking for another three to five suspects,” he said.
He added that the case would be investigated under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code for armed robbery.
“The two men have been remanded until Oct 7 to facilitate investigations,” he said, urging those with information to contact the Johor police hotline at 07-2212 999 or the nearest police station.

Salesgirl, boyfriend nabbed for staging 'kidnap'


SHAH ALAM: A salesgirl's plan to dupe her mother into parting with RM10,000 in 'ransom' by allegedly faking her own kidnap, went awry when the police saw through her ruse.
The 20-year-old and her 18-year-old boyfriend, believed to be her accomplice, were caught napping at a hotel room in the Genting Highlands Theme Park.
The police went to the hotel at about 11.30pm on Monday, following a report lodged by the woman's cousin, seven hours earlier, after the salesgirl's mother received a call from a 'kidnapper'.
The 'kidnapper' reportedly told the mother that the salesgirl had been kidnapped and that the family should bank in RM10,000 into her daughter's account to secure her release.
The police did not buy that.
Selangor CID chief SAC Mohd Adnan Abdullah said a police team went to the hotel at the theme park and caught the duo.
"The suspects were believed to have planned to extort the money from the girl's family by hatching a fake kidnap," he said, adding that the money was not handed over to couple.
He said the suspects have been remanded until next Saturday. - Bernama

Klang twist in ‘Pa Sang Style’


KLANG: A new parody of the South Korean hit song and dance number “Gangnam Style” featuring Klang is going viral on cyberspace.
The video garnered almost 30,000 hits in less than 48 hours since it was uploaded on YouTube.
Called “Pa Sang style”, which means “Klang style” in Hokkien, the clip shows a group of youngsters dancing to the catchy tune by Korean rapper Psy at various locations in town from Taman Chi Liung and Sri Andalas to Bukit Tinggi and Port Klang.
There is one major difference though; the lyrics are in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect synonymous with Klang folk.

Klang natives particularly love the video as it reflects their lifestyle with scenes shot at bak kut teh and seafood restaurants, public parks and on the bridge across the Klang River.
Born and raised in Klang, lawyer Choo Dee Wei, 30, said the video was funny and nostalgic.
“The video puts Klang on the world map, and everyone will know the town better,” he said.
“I've seen parodies from Segamat and Sabah, but, to me, the Klang one is the best.”
Another Klang boy, Henry Yap, said the video made him proud to be “Pa Sang lang” (Klang local).
More than 30 people took part in the production, which is slightly under seven minutes including the credits, with two dozen of them being part of the cast.
“After a slew of parodies across Malaysia, it's about time we bring you a little something from our hometown of Klang,” said producers Phuah Kin Sheng and Gan ZhengXin on the video's YouTube page.
This latest parody joins the Sabah-style version, sung in Hakka dialect, which registered 296,000 hits in less than a month on YouTube.

Summary:
A new parody of the South Korean hit song and dance number “Gangnam Style” by Korean rapper Psy featuring Klang as known as "Pa Sang Style" which means "Klang Style". The lyrics are in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect synonymous with Klang folk. The YouTubers comments that they love the video because it's funny and reflect their lifestyle with scenes shot and they capture at different area in Klang which let everyone know the town better. 

Opinion:
I watched this video since last week, it's make me laughed and they are creative and humour. The lyrics is super funny although i am not really understand Hokkien language but there's an English and Mandarin subtitled. By the way, i lives in Klang. Proud to be Klang people and.....Klang Boleh!
