AdilanClub: My New Year wish: Leave 'Allah' alone

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

Time flies and we are already at the doorstep of 2013. But time has stood still for three long years since 31 Dec 2009 at the gates of justice. It was on that New Year's Eve that the Judiciary gave a flicker of hope for fundamental liberties when a landmark judgement ruled in favour of the Herald, the Catholic weekly. But the Attorney General fought back and appealed against the decision.

The Court of Appeal has not set a hearing date nor is it likely to do so with any urgency. Justice obtained in one of His Majesty's courts is denied by another one higher up through the use of undue judicial delays in the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya.

My New Year wish is that the Attorney General will do the sensible thing by withdrawing the appeal and let the High Court judgement stand. In doing so, one of the most fundamental civil liberties guaranteed by our Federal Constitution will be restored. So too will our confidence in constitutionalism.

SINGAPORE - The Indian gang-rape victim whose assault in New Delhi triggered nationwide protests died in hospital on Saturday of injuries suffered in the attack, a Singapore hospital treating her said.

“Her vital signs are deteriorating with signs of severe organ failure,” Kelvin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said in a statement.

“As of 9pm (1300 GMT) on 28 Dec, the patient’s condition has taken a turn for the worse.

“This is despite doctors fighting for her life including putting her on maximum artificial ventilation support, optimal antibiotic doses as well as stimulants which maximise her body’s capability to fight infections.”

The hospital had informed the victim’s family of her worsening condition and “they are currently by her side to encourage and comfort her", Loh said.

AdilanClub: Veteran Marine Shoots Dead Own Wife – Details ‘Dark, Lonely World’ In Chilling Video

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

A 10-minute video posted more than a year ago on YouTube makes it clear that former Marine Benjamin Sebena, who has been charged in the shooting death of his wife, a Wauwatosa police officer, left Iraq a profoundly affected man.

"My experiences in Iraq were that of having to watch over 50 of my friends, that are good friends, die. Having to kill people. Having to kill a child who tried to kill me," Sebena says as a camera moves toward him in the back of his church, sitting in his favorite seat, the one in front of a pillar so his back is always covered.

"I was a Marine," Sebena's voice says over the video of him sitting alone and staring downward. He has a crew cut and wears an olive green long-sleeved T-shirt.

"We're trained to kill. We're trained that death is OK. Wasn't trained how to deal with the death, but we're definitely trained to kill."

AdilanClub: Sex matters more than brains

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

When her ability failed to clinch deals, this business graduate used her sex appeal, and slept with people in power to get promotions.

Now an MNC vice-president, she says brains and hard work are not enough

Get real. Sex to help push sales or seal contracts happens.

The reason is simple, says this vice-president of a multi-national corporation: It is easier to secure a contract with people who find you physically attractive.

Nora, who spoke on condition of anonymity, is in her early 40s, but looks barely 30.

At 1.67m tall and with vital stats of 36-26-36, she is also pretty and witty.

AdilanClub: "I got so drunk, I didn’t remember having sex"

Life was one big boozy party for nightlife marketer Trina
 (all names have been changed),  25 -– non-stop highs, and even one-night stands while she was supposed to be working. She tells JEANNE TAI why she’s done with “party sex”.

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

I’ve worked in the nightlife industry for three years, doing publicity and marketing for the trendiest clubs in town. I’ve not only had my own experiences with “party sex”, but I’ve seen it happen with others as well.

I’ve watched women get plastered, with guys all over them. I’ve seen so-called “friends” letting their drunken girl pals leave the club with men they’ve only just met. I wouldn’t trust a strange guy to take my friend home. But what can you do? Crap happens.

AdilanClub: Sonali Mukherjee - acid attack victim who became a TV millionaire

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

When Sonali Mukherjee spurned the advances of three of her fellow students, they responded by melting her face with acid.

But rather than hiding herself away, the 27-year-old applied to appear on country's most-watched TV quiz show -- and walked away a millionaire. "If you can stare at a picture of a pretty woman then you can look at my burnt face too," Mukherjee tells AFP in her tiny home in the capital New Delhi.
"It's very easy for victims of acid attacks to swallow poison but I made the choice to stand up and scream and shout against the violence."

The recent gang-rape of a university student on a bus in New Delhi -- which sparked angry protests across the country -- has again shone an uncomfortable spotlight on the levels of violence against women in the country, where sex assaults are often dismissed as mere "eve-teasing".

AdilanClub: GANG RAPE victim recounts ordeal

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

NEW DELHI - An Indian student who was savagely gang-raped has begun to recount her ordeal to police, reports said Sunday, as authorities reacted to violent protests by banning demonstrations in the capital.

The victim, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student who had been battling for her life since the assault a week ago, gave her first statement to police late Saturday in the New Delhi hospital where she is being treated.

"All six men took turns to sexually assault me," the Hindustan Times newspaper quoted the victim as saying to police.

"They threw us on the side of the road where I then fainted," she added.

Her answers to the questioning appeared to confirm most of the details that officers had already managed to piece together from a statement by her 28-year-old male companion who was also assaulted and thrown off the vehicle.
