Court shocked by tale of murder, sex, wives and videotape

THE father of the murdered Singh siblings today denied he once asked his wife to approach his children's accused killer Max Sica to take part in a sexual threesome.

Vijay Singh was being cross-examined on the eighth day of a Supreme Court trial in Brisbane in which Sica, 41, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Neelma Singh, 24, Kunal Singh, 18, and Sidhi Singh, 12, at their home at Bridgeman Downs, in Brisbane's north, on April 21, 2003.

Barrister Sam Di Carlo, for Sica, put it to Vijay Singh that he had asked his wife Shirley Singh to approach Sica to have sex with them.

He asked if Vijay Singh had thought Sica was gay and would take part in a sexual threesome.

Villagers shocked over PM’s power, water bills

Sabahans in Kota Belud were in disbelief when told of the prime minister's exorbitant household bills.

KOTA BELUD: Villagers here were somewhat aghast when told that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s household electricity bill was RM160,000 and water bill RM66,000 a month.

Kota Belud, which is less than an hour away from Kota Kinabalu, has many homes without clean water and electricity.

Perhaps more irking is the fact that Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) had just raised the electricity tariff in the state.

Even before the latest controversial tariff hike, electricity was more expensive here in Sabah than in the peninsula.
