Youth harassed by ghost searching for a husband PDF Print E-mail

A FEMALE ghost searching for a husband had her wish fulfilled when a “wedding ceremony” was held for her in Tampin, Negri Sembilan, on Sunday, China Press reported. The daily reported that the spirit had been “harassing” a youth, causing him to have sleepless nights.

The youth went to a medium in Tampin who told him that the spirit was that of a woman who committed suicide five years ago at the age of 19.

The medium said the ghost would only “release” the youth if he found her a husband.

The wedding was arranged after a male ghost was found as the “groom.”

The youth reportedly slept soundly on the night of the wedding.

Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Tan Chai Ho told China Press that smart cards would be implemented next year to reduce the number of illegal immigrants.

Details to be stored in the card include the worker’s thumbprint, work permit and entry record.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr Fong Chan Onn said the problem of fake higher degree qualifications was serious.

He told Sin Chew Daily that using a fake qualification to apply for a job was against the law.

The daily reported that traffic police would start the two-week Ops Sikap on Nov 8, in conjunction with the Hari Raya and Deepavali celebrations.

Federal traffic police chief Datuk Gingkoi Seman Pancras said police would be stationed at strategic locations to ensure smoother traffic flow.

In a Nanyang Siang Pau report, Higher Education Deputy Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow warned those having honorary titles such as “doctor” not to use the title with their names.
