The Star Online: UALA LUMPUR: For months, a man has been luring four young boys over a social website, winning their trust by showering them with expensive gifts of cash and electronic gadgets before inviting them to “meetings” at budget hotels. Last Friday, the man, a manager at a government-link company, was finally nabbed by the police. He is accused of sodomising the boys multiple times over the months. The suspect is believed to have been preying on the boys, who are secondary students in the same school, since May last year. It is learnt that his activities finally came to light after one of the boys confessed to a teacher, who then informed his parents on Feb 8. City police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohmad Salleh said the four boys, aged between 13 and 15, knew the suspect as “Abang Civic”. His nickname came about as the suspect is believed to be driving a Honda Civic. “Initial investigations revealed that the first boy was sodomised in May last year at a budget hotel in B

Bernama: A staff at the Kedah government-owned Kolej Universiti Insaniah (Kuin) has asked the Higher Education Ministry to intervene and investigate allegations of irregularities in the top management of the institution.

"With the establishment of this subsidiary, Kuin actually was facing worse financial problems since its inception in 1995," he claimed at a press conference, here Tuesday. He said investigation should also be made on the Kedah Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak as the Chairman of the Kuin Board of Directors, to find out whether he had any interest in the establishment of the

Bernama: Rural and Regional Development Minister, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the existence of universities in the country should not be seen as competition but motivation to upgrade competency level. Public and private universities need to create a niche and establish symbiotic collaboration to ensure the sustainability of the country's education. "Higher education has developed rapidly with the establishment of seven foreign universities in the past decade. "A co-existence strategy that is more profitable, rather than competitive, should be designed," he said at 'Malam ke Puncak Awan' dinner function here Tuesday night. Expecting improvement without competition? Malaysians are lucky that he is not the Minister of Higher Education.

The Star Online: KUALA LUMPUR: A man was nabbed for allegedly sodomising four secondary school boys after meeting them on Facebook.

The Star Online: It will take at least five years to train some 60,000 teachers to prepare for making English a compulsory pass subject in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. "Currently, 5,000 teachers have already been trained and the Government will be recruiting 9,000 more English teachers," Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong told reporters after launching the Star-NiE and Pizza Hut's Tale Spin 2013 contest here Tuesday.

She had an abortion when she was 15 but it was when she became pregnant again a year later that her family discovered her sexploits. “My family was crushed. To make things worse, I was diagnosed with syphillis and uterine cancer. I had a miscarriage,” she sobbed. Tina, now 17, said she felt it was worth it to invest a mere RM2 at a cyber cafe to promote her sexual services on the Net and to reap thousands a month in return. “I left home and lived with a man I had just met. He would let his friends pay to have sex with
