1,600 foreigners in voter list, Najib asked to explain

Unknown | 4:17 PM | | | | | | | Best Blogger Tips




PETALING JAYA - Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has accused Datuk Seri Najib Razak of losing control of institutions that govern elections after the opposition pact claimed to have discovered 1,600 cases of foreigners being given the right to vote between March to June this year alone.
Opposition lawmakers also said that this raised doubt over other border protection programmes such as the current drive to register millions of migrant workers — both legal and illegal.

Manager spanked staff, asked others to grab his genitals

Manager spanked staff, asked others to grab his genitals
Pete Smith allegedly also used to sit women staff on his knee and stroke their hair while encouraging others to grab his genitals.
The "boys' club" culture at the marine supplies company also involved the sales manager viewing blow-up dolls and sex toys on the internet, it is claimed.
Former sales executive Angelina Ashby, 41, (pic )says staff at Chesterfield-based Cathelco Ltd drew insulting cartoons about her weight and she was called "fat face" in an email
The mother-of-one says she was subjected to a "continuous course of mistreatment" until she lodged a grievance after she couldn't take the "bullying and hurtful" comments any longer.
Just a few days later she claims sales executive Laura Holland was chased around the office by Mr Smith "who then proceeded to put her over his knee and spank her."
Miss Ashby says other male staff made derogatory comments about her.
As she lent over Pete Smith's desk to collect cups sales executive Laurie Wilson said: "Never mind Pete you have Angel's ---- in your face."
On another occasion deputy sales manager Kevin Ward told a colleague "that's Angel" while pressing a "talking" key ring which said "damn you vile women" repeatedly.
Miss Ashby, from Chesterfield, is claiming constructive dismissal and sex and pay discrimination against Cathelco.
She told the Sheffield hearing she started work for the company in June, 2003 as a sales executive in the marine division but joined the sales team in September, 2006.
The mother-of-one said her treatment by Pete Smith and other male members of the sales team drove her to take anti-depressants.
She claims she was ostracised within the department and made to feel an outsider. "I was regularly excluded from conversations which involved the sales team be it general office banter or daily work conversations," she said.
She once found Pete Smith, Kevin Ward and Laurie Wilson laughing at a piece of paper.
She later retrieved it from a bin. "It comprised a drawing of me which I found to be very offensive and hurtful," she said.
Miss Ashby regularly overheard colleagues whispering or talking about her in derogatory terms.
Mr Ward circulated an email to staff called the "wee run" in which it stated if anyone wanted a "slash" they had to do it before 4.15pm to avoid leaving work early.
Miss Ashby says this referred to her as the previous day she worked all day in the office without a toilet break then had to dash home to use the loo.
Another email sent by Mr Ward to the sales team read: "If you have a FAT FAT face then you do not need to read this."
Miss Ashby claims it was a further dig at her weight.
She said she found the constant jibes "demeaning"and they were designed to belittle her in front of other staff.
When she finally submitted her grievance, the company's managing director Justin Salisbury told her she had a personality which "------" people off" and "in 20 years of business, Cathelco had only ever had a problem with women."
Miss Ashby claims at a later meeting Mr Salisbury told her "they had been very understanding and that he could easily have told me to ---- off."
She said the "laddish" attitude displayed by management was typified in an email sent to the company receptionist and forwarded to all staff by Mr Salisbury which said to her "either come to work or ---- off."
Another email to staff from management stated "Will the dirty bastard responsible for the disgusting unwashed crockery in the kitchen please cease behaving like a tosser and kindly clean up after him/herself".
Miss Ashby, who earned £13,500 a year, says she was also paid less and treated less favourably than her male comparators in terms of salary and bonus pay.
She claims her grievance was not properly investigated by the company because she was a female and she resigned in October, 2008.
She told the tribunal: "There is something of a boys' club atmosphere within Cathelco where females are deemed as being over emotional and sensitive if they have a complaint and who, during my time with Cathelco had to clearly work twice as hard as the male members of staff to gain career or monetary progression."
She added that males were fast-tracked to better jobs because they fitted in with the culture.
She said: "Many male members of staff play football and poker together and go to the gym together. I do not think that this culture helped me obtain a fair investigation of my grievances."
After a year unemployed she now works as an administrator at Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Hospital.
Cross-examined by Barry Warne for Cathelco she admitted Pete Smith did not make any sexual advances towards her.
But she said a female colleague's life was "made hell" by his sexual harassment of her. "Pete Smith manipulated, influenced people and played games," she said.
The company denies all the allegations.
The hearing continues.

SHOPLIFTER TOOK ITEMS FROM SUPERMARKET AND ASKED FOR REFUND

Unknown | 11:53 PM | | | | | | Best Blogger Tips



 JOBLESS man who came up with a devious spin on shoplifting was still caught and will go to jail.

Mervyn Koo Yong Wei, 33, helped himself to items from supermarket shelves and lied to cashiers that he had bought them earlier, but wanted a refund. And even with no receipt, he was sometimes successful in getting them.

In between cheating supermarkets, he also molested a 13-year-old girl and made three obscene calls to a police hotline.

A district court gave him an eight-month jail term yesterday. 

Asking for a deterrent sentence, Deputy Public Prosecutor Paul Wong Chun Yi noted that Koo had previous convictions for cheating between 2002 and 2004.

On May 19 last year, he pulled his stunt at Cold Storage in Parkway Parade, and got $113 for six boxes of hair dye. He lied that he had misplaced the receipt, but got his “refund” when the store confirmed it stocked that brand. 

On Nov 24, he was on a roll.

After cheating the Cold Storage in PoMo mall in Selegie Road of $84 with his ruse, he went to the Cold Storage outlet in Funan mall.

There, the duty manager insisted he leave the items there and return the next day with the receipt. He did not, but instead walked off with the items, which were cosmetics worth $64.

An hour later, he stole $132 worth of cosmetics from Cold Storage at Centrepoint. 

His luck ran out the next day. When he tried to trick Cold Storage in UE Square into a $121 “refund”, the police were called in. 

His reasons for targeting Cold Storage outlets and beauty products for the offences did not come up in court or in court papers.

Cold Storage did not respond to queries on its refund policy. 

Police investigations also linked him to the molesting of an underage girl in the carpark of Gek Poh Shopping Centre in Jurong West on Nov 16 last year.

The court heard that Koo approached her, claiming to have forgotten his cellphone, and asked her if she could send a text message to his friend using her phone. But the number he gave was his, so he got her number. As she was using the phone, he stroked her head and back. The girl ran off. Six minutes later, he sent her a message offering her $500 a week to be his “adopted daughter”.

On Nov 21, he drank three bottles of beer and called 999 thrice, asking the policewomen who answered for sex in an abusive way.

For molesting a victim below 14, Koo could have been jailed up to five years, fined up to $10,000 and/or caned up to 24 strokes. 

The maximum punishment for each cheating offence is a 10-year jail term and a $10,000 fine.
