One Year Old Baby Raped by 16 and 30 Year Old?
Ok, this is the kind of news I classify as extreme. A one year old baby was raped!!! Is the sexual desire so strong that they actually made a new born one year old baby the rape victim?
One of the suspects is 16 year old! Gosh!! Where the hell did he learn to rape at such a young age? Another one is a 30 year old uncle who is supposed to be matured enough to tell right from wrong!! What's wrong with the world we live in?
They caused a big wound in the baby that it needed to be stitched up... Maybe they should be castrated or something.. This people really has no cure!!!

BUTTERWORTH: Police have detained two suspects for raping a year-old toddler.
Seberang Prai Utara district deputy police chief Superintendent Mohd Shukri Awang said the two suspects, aged 30 and 16, were neighbours of the victim. They were picked up on Saturday night.
Shukri said the child's mother, a 32-year-old sales promoter, only found out that her daughter had been raped when she took the girl to the Seberang Jaya Hospital after returning home from work at 11pm on Friday.
Relating the incident, the woman said her mother had picked up the baby from a babysitter's house, about 50 metres away, at 6pm.
"My mother told me that my daughter was bleeding from her private part and I took her to hospital.
"There was a deep wound and the doctors told me that she had been raped. They had to stitch to close the wound.
"I do not know who was responsible for doing such a cruel act to my daughter. They must be animals."

Girlfriend sets her boyfriend on fire!!
Yes, you didn't read the title wrongly! A girlfriend actually pour petrol on her boyfriend and then put him on fire!!! The fire caused the guy to suffer 90% burn and died.
Isn't this amazing?! Talking about a weird incident. Boyfriend and girlfriend relationship ended up in fire?! What happened that needed her to actually put him on fire to kill him?
That's really irrational... What a weird world we are living in!!!

Hostile Malaysia Caused Suicidal International Students?
Malaysians hostile towards international students?? Is this true? Hmm... I wonder myself.. Maybe what the international students say is true as many Malaysians may relate them to criminal activities hence discriminating them...
Well, I can only say don't judge a book by its cover and we should try to be friendly as host to welcome these international students regardless of their background to study in our country and enjoy our multicultural society...
To discriminate until the extend of having them being depressed and have suicidal thoughts are a little extreme and does not reflect our eastern culture and ethics...
I hope the society's perception towards these international students can change as soon as possible to allow them to feel at home in Malaysia...
Maybe more should be done by the youth group in the education institutions and also ministry of education to allow more interaction between locals and also the foreigners so that we can actually learn from each other and understand each other better...

PETALING JAYA: Students from Botswana feel they are being unfairly treated in Malaysia and many are so stressed out that they even resort to suicide.
Some even have to put up with racial slurs and insults on a daily basis.
Thembani Eliot Ncube, 19, and Mamie Baleseng, 17, who are students at a private higher education institution, claim Malaysians don’t seem to want to mix with them.

PETALING JAYA: Students from Botswana feel they are being unfairly treated in Malaysia and many are so stressed out that they even resort to suicide.
Some even have to put up with racial slurs and insults on a daily basis.
Thembani Eliot Ncube, 19, and Mamie Baleseng, 17, who are students at a private higher education institution, claim Malaysians don’t seem to want to mix with them.
Still adapting: Ncube (left) and Baleseng find it hard mixing with Malaysians who they feel could be biased against Africans.
“Perhaps they associate us with crime because of a few African students but this should not be the case. It can make some of us depressed,” said Ncube, who is studying electrical engineering.
A 19-year-old design student, who preferred to remain anonymous, claimed his friends had been arrested because they were carrying photocopies of their passports and visas instead of the original documents.
Two female students, who also declined to be named, said that male students were more likely to face hostility compared to their female peers.
First-year student, Tebogo Lamaona, 20, said he was told that Malaysia was a friendly country, but his experience so far had been different.
“I have to put up with racist slurs and insults every day,” he claimed.
Botswana’s Education Minister Jacob Nkate is currently in Kuala Lumpur to meet with students from his country studying here to find out more about Botswanian students who had committed suicide here.
He is accompanied by the High Commissioner of the Republic of Botswana based in Beijing, Naomi E. Majinda, and the education attache Shiayana Kalane.
The delegation will be in Malaysia for a few days to gather feedback and make their assessments of the situation here.
According to a report in an African news portal, four Botswanian students had died in Malaysia this year in car accidents while two fell from the balconies of their apartments after drinking alcohol.
Ncube said he was happy to learn that Nkate was in the country so they could voice their concerns.
On the report, he said people should not think that all Botswanian students in Malaysia had suicidal tendencies.
Baleseng, who is doing her foundation studies, said the problem could stem from the mental state and motivation of some students.
“My friends and I are only interested in doing well in studies but some students may have come to Malaysia to ‘escape’ from their problems back home,” she said.
She said some may resort to drinking or suicide if things got worse.
Study-wise, both Ncube and Baleseng who have been in Malaysia for three months, said adapting to the local environment was not a problem.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Dr Hou Kok Chung advised any international student having problems to speak to representatives from their institutions.
“The students can also approach us through the ministry’s Student Affairs Division,” he said.
There are currently about 7,000 African students in Malaysian higher education institutions.
Dr Hou had previously held dialogues with student representatives from China and Indonesia as part of the ministry’s move to have open interaction with international students.
“There are plans to meet students of other nationalities soon,” he said.
Psychiatric Observations For Doctor Wannabes
I agree with the editor that psychiatric observations should be carried out on the doctors wannabes to screen out the ones truly passionate towards this career.

Not all top students cut out to become docs
Source: TheStar Online, 02/12/2008
WHO should study medicine? That was the question posed by Nanyang Siang Pau in its editorial.
The daily said yesterday that many intelligent students chose to study medicine although not all had the qualities to be doctors.
“Besides having good results, the student should have good communication skills,” the daily said.
To study medicine, one needed to have a deep interest in the medical field and aspirations to become a doctor, it said.
“Besides the long hours and giving up many of life’s pleasures, doctors have to put up with unhappy faces and deaths,” it added.
If the person could not take up the challenges of becoming a doctor, he or she should not take up the profession.
The daily noted that apart from conducting psychiatric observation on potential doctors, the authorities should also check if medical students could withstand the pressures of being a doctor.
The daily’s comments came following reports quoting Health Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican as saying that every month, at least five doctors are found to be suffering from mental illnesses.

Medical Graduates Suffering from Depression?
I've always thought that people who wants to become doctors should have passion in the field, dedicated to save lives. Hence, I can't comprehend or should I say I can't accept the reason given that they are depressed because they were trained in another place which has a different culture. That sounds a little pathetic to me. Doesn't it?! Medicine is a field without boundaries. It is a field to save lives regardless of race, background and culture. The graduates and doctors wannabe should have known this before they enter the field in the first place.
It is utterly unacceptable to say, "Because they were trained in a Russian, Indian, Polish, Indonesian, British or Irish environment, thus they can't/don't know how to treat Malaysians, therefore they are depressed". Is this in anyway logical? With the ever rising medical problems, new diseases, virus mutating, advances in medical technologies, Doctors are supposed to be critical and creative in their thinking and adapt to the changes to provide the medical care to the patients who entrusted their lives to the medical professionals.
In the news report, the term "weaker students" were used, I wonder how weak are these students. Does it refer to academically weak? I'm very curious. "Having difficulty relating and working"? Aren't doctors supposed to be people who are able to speak to others, interact and communicate with patients and colleagues? How did these people pass the screening/interview to get scholarships to go overseas to study medicine? Is there a flaw in the screening process? To become a 'good' doctor, not a successful one, isn't easy, passion and dedication is of utmost importance, not just straight A's or from a wealthy family, I think people should start to understand this.
"Schools have increased but teaching hospitals have not"?? Isn't this under the purview of the ministry of education and health? Shouldn't they monitor the situation? As mentioned in the article, the standards and quality of patient care should not be compromised, hence, isn't it wiser to regulate the license given out to private colleges to offer medical programmes? I'm sure the public doesn't want crappy doctors to treat us, don't we???

KUALA LUMPUR: Many Malaysian medical students overseas who take examinations in a foreign language suffer from depression when they return.
Physicians for Peace and Social Responsibility (PPSR) vice-president Datuk Dr Abdul Hamid Abdul Kadir said that large numbers of young Malaysians were being trained in foreign medical schools in Indonesia, Russia, India, Poland, Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
At a forum on Saturday organised by the PPSR, it was highlighted that at least five such houseman are found to suffer from mental illnesses every month.
“These countries have varied systems of medical training and different types of patient care, based on the emphasis of the country. As a result, many of the students who go there undergo a culture shock,” said Dr Abdul Hamid.
“Coming from different universities, backgrounds and experiences, they have difficulty relating and working, especially the weaker students,” he said, adding that there had been a sudden sprouting of many public and private medical schools.
While the schools have increased, however, the number of teaching hospitals have not.
Dr Abdul Hamid said that although there was an increasing demand for doctors, the standards and quality of patient care should not be compromised.
“These are the major concerns which the country’s healthcare and medical educational planners have to constantly bear in mind so that the value systems governing the training of our doctors are never lost sight of in the short term and the long term.”

When she went up to have a look, she recognised a bag on the road near the body as belonging to her son and broke into tears.
ACP Che Yusoff urged those with information to contact the police at 07-221 2999.

KUALA TERENGGANU: An autistic 13-year-old who scored straight As in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), will be a case study for the state Education Department.
Muhammad Danial Zainuddin became the first special education candidate in the country to achieve all As.
Department deputy director Razali Daud said the "autistic wonder" would make an interesting subject for a case study.
At a luncheon with 29 UPSR special education candidates at Permai Inn yesterday, Razali said the study would be undertaken by the special education unit. Its findings would help administrators, educators and parents of special needs children to improve their learning abilities.
He said Danial of SK Padang Hiliran, who could not talk until he was 7 and wore diapers to school until he was 9, had intrigued teachers and students when he emerged top of his class in Year Four.
Even his headmaster, Md Sidek Besar, could not explain his transformation from an unruly and hard-to-control child in the special education class to a straight-A student.
Education Ministry special education deputy director Rozainum Ahmad later presented Danial with an Acer notebook, RM500 worth of shopping vouchers and another RM500 cash from Mydin Hypermarket.
