Pregnant woman found dead next to lake
KUALA LUMPUR: A badly decomposed body of a pregnant woman was found with her 12-week-old foetus between her legs near the Tasik Perdana lake.
Police believe she had been strangled and her abdomen stomped on until the foetus came out. City police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Muhammad Sabtu Osman said a passer-by who smelt a stench found the woman’s body beside the lake on Thursday at 6.20pm.
“Investigations showed that the woman, believed to be Indian, had been dead for at least five days. We found a scarf around her neck believed to have been used to strangle her. “Even more despicable is that she had been kicked and her abdomen stepped on several times until her foetus came out,” DCP Muhammad Sabtu said.
He added that the woman, aged between 35 and 40, could have been killed at another location. DCP Muhammad Sabtu said police had yet to determine her identity as she had no identification documents and the body was badly decomposed. The woman, who had several colourful beads on her neck, was about 170cm tall, had long curly hair and was wearing long pants.
Anyone who knows of a missing person matching the description can call the nearest police station or contact ASP Chua at 012-2291433.

Safety Checklist for Apartments
Check Out Your Apartment
Does Your —
(1) Entry door have a deadbolt lock and peephole?
(2) Sliding glass door have a wooden rod in the track so it can't be opened and pins in the overhead frame so it can't be lifted out?
(3) Landlord or building manager tightly control all keys?
For extra security, leave a radio playing or a light on while you are gone. Always tell neighbors and the building manager when you leave for a business trip or vacation.
Check Out Your Building
(1) Is there some kind of control over who enters and leaves the building?
(2) Are walkways, entrances, parking areas, elevators, hallways, stairways, laundry rooms, and storage areas well-lighted, 24 hours a day?
(3) Are fire stairs locked from the stairwell side about the ground floor, so you can exit but no one can enter?
(4) Are mailboxes in a well-traveled, well-lighted area and do they have good locks?
(5) Are things well maintained--are burnt-out lights fixed properly, shrubs trimmed, trash and snow removed?
Check Out the Neighbors
(1) Get to know your neighbors. Join or organize an Apartment Watch group so neighbors can look out for and help each other.
(2) If you live in a large building or complex, think about a tenant patrol that watches for crime around the building, provides escort services for the elderly and handicapped, and monitors coming and going in the lobby.
(3) Work with landlords to sponsor social events for tenants--a Sunday breakfast, a picnic, a movie day.
(4) Look beyond problems to root causes--does your building need a better playground, a social evening for teens, a tenant association, need landscaping?
(5) Work with the landlord for changes that make everyone proud of where they live.

Beware the property trap, Chong tells owners
KUALA LUMPUR: Do not break into your own property even if your tenant fails to pay the rent. It could be a trap. This was the warning given by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong to landlords who were thinking of doing this to reclaim their property.
Chong said any move by a landlord to break into the property, even when the tenant failed to pay the rent, was against the law. He said many landlords had been brought to court by tenants for breaking into their properties and were sued for the loss of their tenants’ assets including cash. “This could be a trap laid by tenants who are looking for easy cash. They could be conmen,” Chong told a press conference at his office in Wisma MCA here yesterday. In the past three months, three such claims were made by tenants – all of them Malaysians – against their landlords.
Their claims amounted to a total of RM117,000 in cash and assets. During the same period, he said he received 12 complaints of tenants who failed to pay a total of RM57,000 in rent. Lawyer Leong Pak Yiew, who is a member of the department, advised landlords facing this problem to file for a distress order at a court. “Under this order, landlords will be able to legally seize the premises and the tenant’s rent will be recovered through auctioning all assets found within it,” he said. However, this process could take up to two months and might be costly in terms of legal and court fees.

Alleged burglar caught having sex with maid
A BANGLADESHI was thought to be a thief when he was seen entering a home in Butterworth. He obviously had other intentions. He was caught having sex with an Indonesian maid.
China Press reported that a neighbour saw him going in the house at about 11pm on Friday and assumed that he was a thief. Worried about the occupant’s safety, the daily said the neighbour called voluntary patrol team members for assistance.
At least 50 members and residents nearby showed up at the house. However, it was learnt that the 25-year-old Bangladeshi and the maid were having sex. He was brought back to his hostel nearby and later handed over to the police for action.
The daily also reported that the maid was hired to look after the house owner who was paralysed and staying alone. It also said female residents nearby had complained about their missing undergarments.
