Compiled by JUSTIN ZACKN, C.ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN
A MAN who failed to burgle a computer shop in Raub, Pahang, left a pile of faeces in the kitchen before fleeing, China Press reported.
His attempt at breaking into the shop was thwarted when he spotted the owner and his mother still busy at work there.
He left a pile of poop in the kitchen before leaving quietly.
It was late into the night when the owner detected a stench in the shop before stumbling upon the mess.
Initially thinking that it was animal poop, he later suspected it was human waste after finding that a back door had been damaged.
His suspicions were confirmed after reviewing a CCTV footage from his neighbour which captured someone prying open a metal panel of the back door before climbing in.
The owner has lodged a police report about the attempted burglary.

Thailand's special investigation team sends Chinese suspect in SAO building collapse to prosecutor
BANGKOK: The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) sent Wu Binglin, a suspect in the collapse of the State Audit Office (SAO) building, to the public prosecutor on Thursday (June 12). Wu Binglin, a Chinese executive from China Railway No 10 (Thailand), was one of the individuals involved in the construction of the building that collapsed in Bangkok's Chatuchak district following an earthquake on March 28. In the wake of the incident, the DSI charged six individuals in relation to the violation of the Foreign Business Act (nominee arrangements). Wu Binglin was reportedly taken into custody by the DSI's Special Investigation team after he voluntarily surrendered. He was charged with violating regulations on foreign nationals conducting business in Thailand, which prevents foreign entities from engaging in certain business activities where Thai citizens are not yet competitive, without proper authorisation. Additionally, he faced charges of assisting or supporting foreign nationals in carrying out such business activities. - The Nation/ANN

Ryan Lian ate food used for praying when he was hungry while roaming the streets
Photo: Ryan Lian/Instagram Singaporean actor Ryan Lian (pic) is determined to overcome his depression after experiencing the ups and downs of life in recent months. Disclosing on social media on June 10 that he has roamed the streets in the last four months, he wrote: 'I ate the steamed cakes used by people for praying when I was very hungry, and wore the clothes given by passers-by when I was caught in the rain.' The 39-year-old wrote that it was around the time when his grandmother died. 'I said to my grandmother's body that I have to treat my illness and make a name for myself,' he wrote in Chinese. 'I will do good deeds in her name when I become successful one day.' Lian was in the news when he was arrested in September 2024 under the mental health act. He was caught on video allegedly tampering with the digital door lock of an HDB flat. The actor previously opened up to Shin Min Daily News in 2022 about his three-year struggle with depression. He told the Chinese-language newspaper in October 2024 that he spent five days at the Institute of Mental Health after he was arrested the previous month. He was injured in a slashing attack outside Nex mall in Serangoon in November 2024, when he was reportedly slashed three times on the face. Lian, who has starred in movies such as Take 2 (2017) and King Of Hawkers (2024), thanked the passers-by and friends who have helped him recently. 'I have gone through the tough days, so I will help the elderly and needy children when I have the ability in the future,' he wrote. 'Singapore is wealthy, but there are still poor families struggling to make ends meet.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network Those contemplating suicide can reach out to the Mental Health Psychosocial Support Service (03-2935 9935 / 014-322 3392); Talian Kasih (15999 / 019-261 5999 on WhatsApp); Jakim's family, social and community care centre (011-1959 8214 on WhatsApp); or Befrienders Kuala Lumpur (03-7627 2929 /email sam@ centres in malaysia).
