Taxi driver sues government for death of detained son

KUALA LUMPUR: A taxi driver is suing the Government and five others for alleged negligence over the death of his son while in detention at the Sungai Buloh prison last year.

Ghaur Chandram, 52, said his son, Uthayachandran was arrested by the police on March 29, 2006 for suspected drug-related offence and taken to the prison when the death had occurred on May 18, last year.

He claimed that his 23-year-old son was attacked by a group of prisoners on that day which led to his death.

The father of six is asking for RM3.66mil in damages over the death.

Doctor Caught Insurance Tout in Casualty

KLANG: Fed up with the constant presence of a man believed to be a tout at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital here, a doctor apprehended and handed him over to the police.

According to the police, the man was seen entering one of the emergency units of the hospital on Saturday morning and was told to leave by the male doctor who was on duty there.

The man left but appeared again at the same emergency unit later in the evening to the chagrin of the same doctor who was still on duty.

He confronted him and the two are believed to have pushed and shoved each other, resulting in the doctor being slightly injured.

The doctor managed to apprehend the man and hand him over to the police with the help of in-house security guards.

The man is believed to be one of several touts who prowled the hospital offering to process insurance claims for accident victims.

A police spokesman said the suspected tout had been arrested and in remand pending investigation.

The doctor, he said, would also be called in for his statement to be recorded.

You sucker!

I definitely won't recommend you to fly in this particular sucker!
