This woman was seen filling many pails to the brim with water from the Sembawang hot spring, and using the ‘free’ water to wash her clothes.
She did it even though there was a sign that stated “不要在这里洗衣服” (Do not wash your clothes here).
STOMPer SPI Kenny informed us about this incident in an email to us on Feb 7:
"This woman was ignoring SAF orders at the Sembawang Hot Spring."
Mr Sanusi suffered serious injuries over about 40 per cent of his body.
Malaysia, January 21, 2010 – A SHOUT for an order of tea
brought more than a cuppa when a man was scalded over a large part of his body.
An agitated coffee shop worker in the Tanah Merah district of Kelantan poured boiling water on Mr Sanusi Othman, 31, a trader, when the latter raised his voice while making an order.
As a result, Mr Sanusi suffered serious injuries over about 40 per cent of his body.
He said he had taken his motorcycle out and rode it to the shop in the middle of town at about 10pm on Jan 4, reported Harian Metro.
He said: “I was alone and was wearing a T-shirt and a sarong.
“I sat down and made the order but the worker did not seem to hear it. So, I shouted the order again.
“I had a shock when he came from behind, carrying a can filled with boiling water.”
When met by New Straits Times at his house at Kampung Pondok Lama, he said: “It happened so fast that I only managed to block him from pouring it on my face.”
Mr Sanusi said he scuffled with the worker before he was taken home, writhing in pain, by a friend in a car.
He said: “I had to strip off the T-shirt and sarong I had on because it was simply too hot.
“By coincidence, a friend who was at a snooker centre nearby heard about the incident and appeared on the scene and sent me home.”
Despite the injuries, Mr Sanusi did not report the incident to the police or go for treatment at the hospital because his family did not want the case to be prolonged as the worker was a close relative.
He added: “His mother and uncle came to see my family and apologised for the incident.
“However, I lodged a police report two days ago on the advice of a cousin.”
Family shocked
Mr Sanusi’s father, Mr Othman Said, 70, said the family was shocked when he was sent home by a friend with one part of the body badly scalded.
“We believe that there is more to this than the shouting incident which led to the attack,” he said.
The suspect, who is also a car broker, had earlier tricked Mr Sanusi’s younger brother into buying a car.
Added Mr Othman: “He was angry with us for asking him to return the money.”
Chief of police in the district, Deputy Superintendent Abdul Aziz Mahmud, confirmed the incident.
A man in his 30s has been detained by the police.
This image provided Friday, November 13, 2009 by NASA shows the ejecta plume created by the LCROSS Centaur upper stage rocket about 20 seconds after after impact October 9, 2009. It turns out there’s plenty of water on the moon- at least near the lunar south pole, scientists said Friday.
WASHINGTON – A ‘SIGNIFICANT amount’ of frozen water has been found on the moon, the US space agency said on Friday heralding a giant leap forward in space exploration and boosting hopes of a permanent lunar base.
Preliminary data from a dramatic experiment on the moon ‘indicates the mission successfully uncovered water in a permanently shadowed lunar crater,’ NASA said in a statement.
‘The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon,’ it added, as ecstatic scientists celebrated the landmark discovery.
‘Yes indeed we found water and we did not find only a little bit but a significant amount,’ said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and principal investigator for the US$79 million (S$111 million) LCROSS mission.
The data was found after NASA sent two spacecraft crashing into the lunar surface last month in a dramatic experiment to probe Earth’s nearest neighbour for water.
‘In the 20 to 30m crater we found maybe about a dozen, at least, two-gallon buckets of water. This is an initial result,’ Dr Colaprete told reporters.
This young tourist from the US dived into shallow waters off Siloso Beach, breaking his left arm in the impact.
In an email today, Fire Phoenix wrote:
"A group of young tourists from the US arrived at Siloso Beach at Sentosa.
"One of them dived into the sea – without realising the water was shallow – and broke his left arm.
"An ambulance was called and he was sent to the hospital immediately.
"These pictures were taken on Nov 6 at about 1:50 pm."
