AN accident victim in Jelutong, Penang, was surprised to see his MP and a senator pull over to help, Makkal Osai reported.
Jelutong MP RSN Rayer and Senator Datuk Seri Dr RA Lingeshwaran were travelling in Jelutong when they saw the accident. They stopped and called for an ambulance, with Dr Lingeshwaran providing first aid to the victim.
The senator is a medical doctor and was a director of Hospital Sungai Bakap prior to his appointment to the Dewan Negara.
Rayer and Dr Lingeshwaran wished the accident victim, who did not sustain major injuries, a speedy recovery.
> A man in India strangled his wife for having an affair and then staged her 'suicide', Malaysia Nanban reported.
Muthupandian, 38, and Muthukumari, 28, from Tamil Nadu, got married 10 years ago and have two children.
Muthukumari was caught having an affair four years ago and left the family briefly before reconciling with her husband. But he remained suspicious of her, which led to many arguments.
Earlier this month, Muthupandian filed a police report claiming his wife had hung herself after an argument.
The autopsy raised suspicions, and he eventually confessed to police that he had strangled his wife and staged the suicide.
