Malaysian worker dies after being attacked by white tigers at zoo

Cannot believe it happens to Singapore. Hope the man doesn’t dies in great pain.

SINGAPORE: A Malaysian contract worker died after being attacked by three white tigers at the Singapore Zoo on Thursday.

The worker has been identified as Nordin Bin Montong. Zoo officials said the 32—year—old had jumped into a moat at the white tiger enclave and was subsequently mauled to death by the white tigers.

Police said they received a report at 12.30pm about a man sustaining neck injuries at the zoo. Paramedics were called to the scene and Nordin was pronounced dead at 12.45pm.

Biswajit Guha, assistant director, Singapore Zoo, said: “Prior to the incident, the zookeepers had actually noticed that the contract worker was behaving erratically.

“He was throwing things around and as he was walking out of the zoo, he passed comments like ’Goodbye, you won’t see me again’. He later cycled back and 5 minutes later, the alarm went off.”

Nordin had jumped off the ledge into the water and once he was inside the enclave, the three white tigers mauled him for five to ten minutes, while 20 zookeepers tried desperately to save him by distracting the animals.

They were too late, as were the two licensed rifle shooters who were called to the scene.

As a precautionary measure, the white tiger exhibit has been temporarily closed and the 9—year—old tigers, which came from Indonesia, are in confinement for now.

Zoo officials said once the police finish their investigations, they would examine if there is a need to further enhance safety measures.

Singapore Zoo added that it is natural for tigers to pounce on any prey and there is no reason to sedate the animals.

My Batam Trip 2008 With more pictures and updates!!

My 10 days batam trip to Harris Batam resort. I have just went to batam a few days ago and is time to update more pictures. Overall is a very relaxing and pleasant trip to Batam.

The boat ferry time is 9.20am but the boat gate closes at 9am, so it was quite rush as the time is brought forward.

A lot of Singaporean in this resort. Looks like the whole resort is built for Singaporeans. Everything in the resort is calculated in Sing dollars.

Everyday there will be a Buffet Breakfast with the normal stuff but the hotdog is terrible, other than that everything is about the same as other small buffet.

There is a big pool and spa corner.

Their shopping centre Nayoga Hill shopping centre, the food street. The price of food is slight/y lower to Singapore price.

Not much people as is weekdays.

The things they sell you can find in Singapore, there are about the same price. Some of the branded items like POLO is having good discount in Batam, I believe their facctory is at Indonesia.

Their Supermarket which looks actually like Giant.

Lots of crackers

A small dining room and living room in my room.

2 queen size bed here and oppsite the door is one king size bed.

The water there is a bit dirty, it looks orange when we open the tap.

Normal Bathtub, a bit dirty

Very nice swimming pool……..

More swimming pool

In an email to STOMP today (13 Oct), the STOMPer says:

“On 13 Oct at around 1:30am, when I looked outside my window at Blk 492 Tampines, I saw an airplane stuck at Tampines’s TPE bridge.

House saw in half after the couple’s divorce!! Strange!

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A couple in rural Cambodia has terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that entailed sawing in two the wooden house they once shared, villagers said Friday. The husband, 42-year-old Moeun Sarim, has taken away with him all the bits and pieces of his half a house, said his 35-year-old wife, Vat Navy.

“Very strange, but this is what my husband wanted,” she said by phone from a village about 62 miles east of Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. She said they ended their marriage last month.

“He brought his relatives and used saws to cut the house in half,” she said, adding that she now owns the other half that is still standing. The house is made from wood with a tile roof and propped up on wooden pillars, a typical style for a Cambodian country home.

She said her estranged husband and his relatives, after ripping apart half of the house, carried all the debris to his parents’ house nearby.

She said the divorce was prompted by her husband’s jealousy about her alleged relationship with a policeman in the village. She denied having an extramarital affair.

“He wanted a divorce, and I said, `Let’s divorce,’” she said.

The husband could not be reached for comment.

Bou Bout, a village chief, said local officials and police were present as witnesses the day the couple split their 20-by-24 1/2 foot house into half.

“Local officials tried three times to get them to mend their differences, but the husband would not budge,” Bou Bout said by phone.

75 year old retiree loses S$400,000 with Lehman’s collapse!! Oh my gosh!

I cannot imagine that after working over 40 years until you retire, you have save a sum of money over 40 years. You have put the money into a bond which claims to be low risk and now all the money is gone, not even 1 cent you will be getting back. Very very bad, how many nights that you cannot fall asleep. Oh my gosh! My heart pain so much for them, hope the bank could return part of the money for them.

SINGAPORE: Some 10,000 people in Singapore paid out half a billion Singdollars for structured financial products linked to the now bankrupt Lehman Brothers.

75—year—old Mary Kwok is one of them. She lost S$400,000 — money meant for her and her husband’s retirement.

She said they had never made any high—risk investments until two years ago when she was collecting interest from her fixed deposit account. That was when a financial consultant introduced her to Lehman Brothers Minibonds, promising low risks.

The total issue size of the Lehman Brothers Minibonds was S$508 million. Out of this, S$375 million was sold to about 8,000 retail investors through nine distributors in Singapore.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said action will be taken if its investigations uncover misrepresentation from financial institutions to their clients when selling the Lehman Brothers Minibonds.
