Man who allegedly killed wife, torched in-laws' vehicles in Tangkak remanded
TANGKAK, June 4 — The man who slashed his wife to death in Bukit Gambir last Monday has been remanded for seven days from today to facilitate further investigations. The remand order was issued by Magistrate Lee Kim Kiat for the investigations to be carried out under Section 320 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt and Section 435 of the same Code for mischief by fire. According to Tangkak Police District chief Supt Roslan Mohd Talib, the man was initially apprehended for allegedly torching a car and a motorcycle at his mother-in-law's house. He said that during interrogation, the suspect appeared confused and told them that his wife was missing. 'A team of policemen went to his house to investigate. That was when they found his wife, lifeless on the floor of the living room, covered with a blanket and a knife not far from the body,' he told Bernama when contacted. Roslan said the police believed that family conflict was the motive behind the two incidents. Initial investigation also revealed that the 33-year-old suspect had a previous record related to a crime of mischief, he added. Meanwhile, the suspect's mother-in-law, when met at her house in Durian Chondong, Muar, said the last time she saw her daughter was just from afar, three days ago, when she went to pick up a bag of rice that the couple bought for her from Thailand. 'He (the suspect) has not spoken to me for quite some time and does not allow my daughter to see her parents, her siblings or any of our relatives. He always tells us to stay away,' the 63-year-old mother said. The woman said she always had the feeling that something bad was going to happen to her daughter, and true enough, the suspect came to her house late on the night of the incident, trying to set fire to her house. 'Late that night, he came to our place, torched our car and motorcycle. If we were awakened just a minute late, my family, my grandchildren and I would have perished in that fire,' she said, adding that her daughter, 34, married the man three years ago. Although it is hard to cope with the loss of her daughter, the woman said she still wants justice to be served. — Bernama

Bride's Wedding Dress Sparks Family 'Drama' as Mother-in-Law 'Flipped Out' and Groom 'Felt Disappointed'
A recent bride asked Reddit users if she was in the wrong for wearing her "dream" white wedding dress even though it meant breaking the groom's family tradition of wearing "blush-colored" gowns The woman's husband told her he "felt disappointed when [she] walked down the aisle in white" and her mother-in-law "flipped out" Most Reddit users commented that the bride could wear whatever she wanted, but noted that it would have been nice to give a warning that she wouldn't be following tradition before the weddingA bride's "dream" wedding dress was a nightmare for the groom and his mother. In a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, the bride, 31, said that her wedding was "a dream come true" until it wasn't. "One big drama" clouded the special day. "My MIL (mother-in-law) flipped out over my wedding dress," she wrote. The groom's side of the family has a "longstanding tradition" where brides wear "blush-colored" wedding dresses. All the women have followed this tradition for as long as they can remember, so when the Redditor got engaged, she was requested to wear a blush-colored wedding dress too. "When they first mentioned it, I politely said I'd consider it but ultimately would go with whatever color my perfect dress happened to be," the bride explained. When it came time to wedding dress shopping, the bride invited the groom's mother to join her. It didn't take long for her to find her dream wedding dress — but it was white. "MIL immediately asked me if they could dye or alter it to blush," the bride recalled. "I promised I'd ask, but also made it clear if alterations weren't possible, I wouldn't be choosing another dress." The bride followed through with her promise, and asked for alterations. However, she was told that dying the gown could potentially "ruin" it. The bride didn't want to take any chances, so she decided that it wasn't worth the risk and left the dress as it was. What the bride didn't do was inform her future husband, 32, and mother-in-law before the wedding that she wouldn't be following their family tradition after all. "It was my day, my dress, my choice," she said. When the bride made her way down the aisle in her white dress, her mother-in-law was "visibly angry the whole time." After the ceremony at reception, she even "cornered" her and "demanded an explanation." "I calmly told her they couldn't alter my dress, and I didn't want to choose another one," the Redditor said. "She said she was disappointed I broke their family tradition, and, to my surprise, even my now-husband mentioned later that he felt disappointed when I walked down the aisle in white." "Hearing that my husband was disappointed seeing me on our wedding day just broke me," she added. The bride asked fellow Redditors whether or not she was in the wrong for sticking with her wedding dress instead of following tradition. In the comments section, the majority of users said that the bride was NTA (Not the A------) for wearing a white wedding dress.

She should have kept her opinions to herself. If the color of your dress was that important to your husband, he should have communicated that to you before you went dress shopping." A handful of commenters argued that it would have been more considerate for the bride to have at least given a heads up that she wasn't going to be following tradition before the ceremony, so that it wouldn't have been as jarring or disappointing for the groom and his mom.

Woman Claims Daughter-in-Law Tried to Poison Her Despite Ignoring Her Allergy Warning Over Cinnamon Bread
A woman brought cinnamon swirl bread over to her sister-in-law, but her mother-in-law, who is allergic to the spice, ate it instead The Redditor says she warned her mother-in-law not to eat the loaf, but she did so anyway Now, the mother-in-law is claiming she tried to 'poison' herA woman says her mother-in-law is claiming she tried to "poison" her with a loaf of bread that contained cinnamon, despite warning her to stay away from the baked goods. In a post on Reddit, the anonymous 22-year-old woman writes that she recently "jumped on the sourdough bread train." "I've had several people slide up and say they would love a loaf, including my in-laws," she writes. On a recent trip to visit them, she made three loaves: a traditional loaf, a cheddar-jalapeño loaf and a cinnamon swirl loaf, the latter of which was specifically for her sisters-in-law since her mother-in-law is allergic to the spice. The poster said she baked her mother-in-law's bread first "to avoid any cross-contamination" and put the cinnamon loaf "in its own container separate from the loaves that would go to MIL." "When I dropped them off, I made sure to tell them that one loaf was cinnamon," she writes. Despite going to extra lengths to ensure her mother-in-law knew one of the loaves contained cinnamon, the matriarch still decided to cut herself a slice of the sweet bread. "While we were there, MIL cut herself a slice of the cinnamon bread, saying she wanted to taste it. All of us said she really shouldn't, since she's allergic to cinnamon," the Redditor writes.

"She said she would avoid the cinnamon swirl and just eat the plain bread. After more protest, it was clear that she was not going to listen. She ate it, said it was good, and cut another slice," she adds. At first, "nothing happened," and the couple believed it would be okay to head home. "My husband and I assumed that maybe she isn't as allergic as she thought and everything was fine. We went back to my mom's house, and an hour later both of our phones started blowing up," she writes. "MIL says I gave her horrible diarrhea with my 'nasty bread,' and is now claiming that I tried to poison her by giving them bread that has cinnamon in it." Now, both the woman and her husband's grandmother "are adamant" that she "shouldn't have brought cinnamon bread into the house at all." "I thought bringing it would be fine. I've been there plenty of times when SILs had cinnamon rolls on the stove, or snickerdoodle cookies in a jar. I assumed that she wouldn't even touch the container because as far as I had seen, she didn't touch the other stuff," she explains. Many Reddit commenters voiced their suspicions about the situation, suggesting that her husband's mom intentionally created the situation. "Your MIL did this on purpose. I think you need to figure out why she created a situation where she could tell people you intentionally fed her cinnamon and gave her diarrhea. Bc that is exactly what she did. Hell, she even ate a second piece," wrote one. Added another commenter: "Your MIL sounds like she wants to have an issue with you. She knows what her allergies are, and you advised her of the risks of trying a known allergen bread and she still went for it. At this point I'd apologize to your SILs about MIL unfortunate gastric distress for eating a known allergen against warning." Read the original article on People

Asking Eric: Casket photo creates rift in family
Dear Eric: Several years ago, my mother-in-law died due to dementia. During the time of her illness, my husband and I took care of everything, including selling her house, auctioning off her estate, dealing with her boyfriend who could never admit she had dementia, and dealing with the covid restrictions for visiting her. Of note, my brother-in-law lives in the Upper Midwest; we, and his mother, live in Florida. The burden was put on us, not him. On the day of her viewing, it was only my husband and me. I took pictures of her lying peacefully in her casket and forwarded them on to my brother-in-law. I got a scathing email from my brother-in-law saying that he had specifically asked not to send pictures of her dead. He only wanted to remember her healthy (how convenient). To be honest with you, I didn't remember that conversation as I was too stressed out from the whole ordeal. I feel guilty for sending the pictures but not really sorry for doing it because they finally had to deal with her passing firsthand. They did not have to live the ordeal like we did. I felt like the pictures were something I needed to share. Should I feel guilty for sending them, because I still do? — Photo Regret Photo: Guilt is not a very useful emotion. It's good information, sometimes, but what matters is what we do about the guilt, internally and externally. I know that the complicated process of settling your mother-in-law's affairs, particularly during covid lockdown, was hard for you. But you've got to acknowledge that what your brother-in-law is dealing with, including his own denial about his mother's illness, is hard, too. There's no hierarchy of suffering. You can start to alleviate some of that suffering — yours and theirs — by reaching out, apologizing and trying to make amends. In the grand scheme, you owe each other apologies. They didn't show up for your mother-in-law in the ways that would have been helpful, and that's not fair. But you don't get to dictate how your brother-in-law remembers his mother or how he processes his grief. Your actions, as you've described them, weren't malicious, but it's important to acknowledge their impact. Dear Eric: I'm friends with a pair of sisters, but closer with one than the other. Recently I invited them to a weekend getaway, where we were to be treated to a private chef's dinner. Less Close Sister immediately announced that she's 'avoiding gluten,' which obviously complicated our menu. On the drive up, she recounted her 'cheat night' with plenty of gluten the evening before, and happily consumed a (gluten-containing) lunch. I know there's no right way to say, 'your dietary needs seem to only pop up when you can be an inconvenience/pain in the butt,' but I'm really soured on traveling with her again, although I like her. Suggestions? — Gluten-tolerant Gluten-tolerant: The easiest solution is just not to have a private chef's dinner, or, to let the chef figure out what to cook to meet everyone's dietary needs. Isn't that the chef's job anyway? It's quite a leap to go from putting together a private dinner to swearing off traveling with this person again. Sometimes, when our opinions about people change, any little thing they do can become a point of annoyance. I wonder if that might be happening here. Something to consider. Dear Eric: 'Carpooling' wants to be reimbursed for gas for a 30-mile round-trip journey to pick up a friend's disabled son from the bus stop. The request from the 'dear friend' doesn't happen very often. My two cents are this: Losing or even offending a 'dear friend' isn't worth any price, let alone the price of a few gallons of gas ($10 or less). True friends grant favor requests, when possible, and usually without expecting anything in return. If it becomes a regular request, then definitely broach the subject, but a rare request is truly a 'favor,' and granting favors has a way of coming back to you. Instead, 'Carpooling' could think of this favor as a meal she might take to her friend if she were sick (and would likely spend more than $10 in that case). — Dear Friends are Priceless Priceless: Ten dollars is not the same everywhere nor is it the same to every budget. The letter writer isn't just complaining; the letter states that the frequency of the requests, combined with the amount, created a financial hardship. It's important to remember that everyone's finances are different and one person's easy favor is another person's stretch. The pricelessness of dear friends goes both ways; if I had a dear friend whose load I could lighten by covering the price of gas, I'd leap at the opportunity to do so. (Send questions to R.
