Failed break-in attempt results in stinky surprise
Compiled by JUSTIN ZACKN, 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. > A school in Kuala Lumpur has asked one of its teachers to go on leave amid an investigation into sexual harassment claims, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Woman loses jewellery to monkeys
Compiled by JUSTIN ZACKN, and R. ARAVINTHAN A WOMAN in India nearly lost two million Rupees (RM99,000) worth of gold jewellery to a troop of monkeys looking for food at a temple, Makkal Osai reported. The woman was on her way to a temple in Uttar Pradesh with her family when she took off her jewellery and kept them in a handbag for safekeeping. As they were leaving the temple, the monkeys went close to the family and grabbed the bags they were carrying, looking for food. Unfortunately one of the bags taken was the woman's handbag with the jewellery and the panicked family began looking for the monkey with the bag and also alerted the police. The monkey then discarded the bag of jewellery in a field nearby. It was recovered by the cops a few hours later and returned to the owner.
