Edisi Selatan: DJ radio Singapura perlekeh Mawi


JOHOR BAHRU: Seorang juruhebah sebuah stesen radio Singapura mencetuskan rasa tidak puas hati di kalangan peminat penyanyi popular Asmawi Ani atau Mawi apabila dia mempertikaikan kebolehan dan kemenangan juara Akademi Fantasia 3 (AF3) itu.

Tindakan tidak profesional juruhebah terbabit menggemparkan peminat penyanyi itu yang mendengar siaran stesen radio berkenaan, baru-baru ini.

Seorang pendengar, Mas Ayu Jamil, 29, berkata, dia terkejut dan kesal dengan pendapat yang dikeluarkan juruhebah terbabit sejurus selepas diminta memberi komen mengenai Mawi oleh rakan setugasnya yang akan bertukar waktu bertugas di konti stesen radio itu kira-kira jam 11.30 malam, Isnin lalu.

揝aya tidak menyangka juruhebah itu berani mengeluarkan pendapat negatif mengenai Mawi secara terbuka ketika ke udara. Tindakannya menjatuhkan imej Mawi sekali gus menimbulkan rasa tidak puas hati di kalangan pendengar.

揓uruhebah berkenaan mempertikaikan kemenangan dan kebolehan Mawi menyanyi dengan mengecilkan bakat penyanyi berkenaan selepas memutar lagu Aduh Saleha.

揟indakan tidak profesional yang dilakukan juruhebah itu seolah-olah tidak mematuhi etika kerjayanya yang sepatutnya berfikir apa yang perlu diperkatakan bagi memastikan segala kenyataan yang dikeluarkan tidak menggores hati mana-mana pihak terutama pendengar dari negara ini,

HAJAT BELI BAJU RAYA TIDAK TERSAMPAI
Lelaki mati lepas jatuh dari tingkat tiga

Oleh
Khalid Khamis

SAIFUL Abdul Hamid sudah lama menyimpan hasrat hendak membelikan sepasang baju baru untuk keluarganya sempena lebaran kali ini.

Namun, hasratnya tidak kesampaian kerana dia meninggal dunia setelah terjatuh dari tingkat tiga di Orchard Cineleisure yang penuh sesak malam kelmarin.

Saiful, 22 tahun, yang cedera parah di kepala, dilihat menggelepar di lantai dan disahkan meninggal dunia di Hospital Besar Singapura (SGH) sekitar 9.15 malam.

Tetapi apa yang menyayatkan hati ialah seluruh anggota keluarga tidak tahu bahawa sebelum nahas itu berlaku, Saiful telah merampas beg tangan seorang wanita dan dikejar dua pegawai polis yang tidak bertugas.

Jurucakap polis semalam mengesahkan bahawa kedua-dua pegawai polis itu mengejar Saiful selepas mendengar seorang wanita berteriak meminta tolong selepas begnya diragut orang.

'Ketika mereka cuba menahannya, Saiful terus memanjat gegalang dan terjatuh,' kata jurucakap itu lagi.

Saiful, anak ketiga daripada tiga beradik, baru menamatkan Perkhidmatan Negara (NS) dengan Pasukan Pertahanan Awam (SCDF) dan bekerja sebagai pencuci kereta.

Ibunya, Cik Norliah Aman, 52 tahun, masih terkejut akan berita yang disampaikan kepadanya dan hanya mengetahui anaknya meninggal akibat terjatuh.

'Saya dah tak boleh nak cakap apa-apa. Nak pergi hospital pun tak boleh sebab tak boleh jumpa. Tahu-tahu polis telefon suruh ambil jenazahnya di rumah mayat,' katanya.

Menurutnya, Allahyarham suka menyendiri dan hanya pulang ke rumah selepas dua atau tiga hari dan kali terakhir melihatnya Sabtu lalu.

Kelakuan Allahyarham mula berubah dan aneh sekitar seminggu lalu.

'Dia ada bilang gaji pertamanya dia nak belikan baju Raya untuk keluarga. Dia juga kata dalam akaun Tabung Simpanan Pekerjanya (CPF) ada $46,000 dan kalau dia meninggal, dia pesan saya simpankan duitnya itu,' katanya lagi.

Jenazah Allahyarham selamat dikebumikan petang semalam.

MAID IN MURDER-SUICIDE CASE
She SNAPS
She KILLS  
Signs of ticking time bomb in her home:
Weeks earlier, she throws knife at baby's mum

Months earlier, she refuses breaks, meals, sleep to fuss over baby Johnathan

By Faith Teo and Celine Lim

October 26, 2005      




THE signs were disturbing. Within months of her starting work, she began sending signals of a strange obsession with her employers' baby.

  
--JOAN LEONG
The Indonesian maid, 21-year-old Sulastri, was hardworking. She wouldn't take breaks.

She was almost ideal - except for a short fuse when it came to 5-month-old Johnathon Yap.

She wouldn't sleep. She would keep a constant watch over the baby. She treated him as if he were hers - until she snapped one day in December and killed him, along with herself.

Johnathon's mother, Madam Susan Tay, was disturbed when Sulastri began behaving strangely.

The maid wouldn't eat and once, when pressed, even threw a knife at Madam Tay, 33.

This happened a few weeks before the maid threw little Johnathon from the master bedroom of Madam Tay's 23rd floor flat, and then plunged to her death.

Said Madam Tay last night: 'We had bought breakfast for her, but she just refused to stop work and eat. I kept telling her to eat but she ignored me. So I got fed up and told her off.

'Later, I told her she had to take care of herself, and that she didn't need to watch over my son like that. Suddenly she just threw a knife at me.'

OTHER SIGNS

There were other signs that something was not right with Sulastri.

Said Madam Tay: 'The second month she was with us... when I asked her to do things, she wouldn't listen and carried on making the same mistakes.

'Sometimes she would ignore me, or stare into space. She was living in her own world, but at the same time she worked very hard. Even when we told her to rest and sleep early, she refused.'

Madam Tay even called and asked the maid agency to speak to her, just in case she didn't understand English, but it didn't help.

ROAM HOUSE LATE AT NIGHT

Sulastri would roam the house late at night, said Madam Tay, refusing to rest as long as little Johnathon was still awake.

This would happen even when Madam Tay or her 34-year-old husband was putting the little boy to sleep.

It was an eerie bond. The baby seemed to be the centre of her life, and she would fight for any chance to take care of him.

'She loved him so much, as if he was hers. She was always looking out for him, carrying him, feeding him.'


That obsession turned deadly at about 2pm on 18 Dec.

She climbed onto the ledge of the 23rd-storey master bedroom, in Block 120, Kim Tian Place.

She was carrying little Johnathon with her.

Madam Tay was then coaxing her 3-year-old daughter to sleep in her parents' flat on the 19th storey. The young family would go there every weekend.

'My daughter didn't want to sleep, so I was just strolling around with her in my arms. Just before I left the house, my father was resting on the couch and my mother was playing with Johnathon,' Madam Tay recalled.

But her daughter refused to sleep, so Madam Tay pressed the 'up' lift button to take her home.

When the doors opened, Madam Tay came face-to-face with her anxious parents in the lift.

'My dad said the maid threw down my baby, and my mum was just crying. I think I went mad at that moment. I just cried and shouted. My father dragged me into the lift, and took me home.'

When she got home, Madam Tay ran from room to room to look for her son, hoping that it was just a cruel joke.

She expected to see Johnathon at every turn, smiling at her.

When she got to the master bedroom, her father and brother stopped her from looking out of the window.

'In the end, I had to control myself,' Madam Tay said softly, wiping her damp eyes.

'I was scaring my daughter.'



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Coroner: It's murder-suicide

STATE Coroner Tan Boon Heng ruled the deaths of Johnathon Yap and Sulastri as murder-suicide in a joint inquiry yesterday.

Sulastri committed suicide after throwing Johnathon down.

No suicide note was found and she had not expressed suicidal intentions to anyone.

She was not known to be mentally unstable and there were no allegations of abuse.

Her employers said she was hardworking although she did not always follow instructions.

On 18 Dec 2004, Sulastri told her employers she wanted to return to her employment agency, saying she loved Johnathon and all she wanted to do was to carry and feed him the whole day.

Her employers explained to her that her job-scope included household chores and not just baby-sitting.

The State Coroner said there was evidence Sulastri could have been upset about this.

Toxicology analysis found chlorophene, a disinfectant, in Sulastri's blood while chlorpheniramine, a flu drug, was found in Johnathon's urine.

However, these had no bearing on the deaths which were caused by multiple injuries consistent with a fall from a height.

Feel sorry for maid? What about my baby?

JUST three months ago in July, Johnathon would have turned 1.

Madam Tay tries not to think about it.

It isn't easy. There have been reminders - in her dreams and in real life.

For instance, a milk formula company had called in July to congratulate Madam Tay on her baby's first birthday. That brought the memories flooding back.

She had subscribed to the service that reminds mothers when they should change their babies' milk formula.

'I was in the office, so I just told them I don't wish to subscribe anymore. They wanted to talk more, and kept asking why, but I just said I was busy and hung up the phone.'

That night, the accounts assistant at a hospital went home and cried.

Even in her dreams, Madam Tay is not able to forgive 'that person', as she calls Sulastri.

'I dreamt that person knelt in front of me, begging for forgiveness. I did not forgive her.'

On speculation that Sulastri might have been driven to jump because of abuse, Madam Tay said: 'We never touched her.

'To the public that might feel sorry for her because of this speculation, what about my baby? Do they feel sorry for my baby? He was innocent.'

Throughout our interview with Madam Tay, a petite, soft spoken woman, would struggle to control her tears. She often failed.

Still, Madam Tay and her husband now have something to look forward to. She is three months' pregnant.

Buddhists believe in reincarnation, and she is convinced Johnathon is coming back to her.

'I dreamt of him three times, and each time he would smile at me. He would be lying there, but when I touched him he would open his eyes and smile. I think he's trying to tell me he's coming home.

'If it's a boy, I will name him Johnathon.'

Madam Tay has not hired a replacement maid following the tragedy.

Madam Tay's father, Mr Tay Bee Whatt, 55, just wants to put the memories behind him.

He said in Mandarin: 'It was so long ago, we don't think about what happened anymore.'

Bukit Merah Murder
She sends SMS for help but...  
By Faith Teo

October 27, 2005      




THE first sign that something was wrong was neighbours hearing a woman shouting for help at about 8pm yesterday.

  
A portrait of the dead woman's family in happier times.
About 45 minutes later, the police received a call from a man who said his girlfriend needed help.

He said he had received an urgent SMS from her which told him to call the police as she was in trouble.

The police responded immediately, but when they found the Bukit Merah flat, a man, armed with two knives, refused to let them in.

After the stand-off ended four hours later with the surrender of the man, the woman was found dead in a bedroom.

She is believed to be the wife of the man and was likely killed before the police arrived.

Neighbours told The New Paper that they saw the woman enter her home at about 6pm.

Two hours later, at about 8pm, they heard her shouting for help.

The police confirmed that they received a call at 8.45pm. On arrival at the address they had been given - Block 132, Jalan Bukit Merah - they started a door-to-door search.

When they were knocking on doors at the second storey, they found a man holding two knives at unit 02-1322.

He was seated in the living room of the three-room flat, and refused to open the door. The man was clearly agitated.

Police also saw a shoe and a handbag in the living room, but there was no sign of any woman.

As SCDF officers set up safety nets and an air mattress behind the flat where the kitchen was, police negotiators spoke to the man through the window grilles at the front of the flat.

  
The alleged killer finally emerges from his flat and is given a glass of water.  
They had broken open the front door grille, but stopped short of breaking down the wooden door despite having the necessary equipment as they did not want to worsen the situation.

RELATIVES HELP CALM MAN

Police negotiators were called in. The strategy was to try to get the man's relatives to talk him into giving up.

When The New Paper team arrived at about 9.30pm, at least 200 people were watching the drama unfold from behind police cordons.

We made our way towards the flat from an alternative staircase, and spoke to the owner of the unit just above the man's flat.

The woman, who gave her name as Mrs Goh, said she had heard a couple quarrelling and shouting over the last two nights. But she could not be certain it was from the unit below.

  
The interior of the three-room flat.  
The quarrels would take place at about 2 to 3am.

Mrs Goh said she had earlier heard the sound of glass breaking followed by a man shouting.

'I've been living here for three years, and the family moved in after me, about two years ago. But I have not seen the children or the couple, because their door is always closed,' she said.

As we moved down the staircase, we heard the voices of two young children. They were chatting and laughing with police officers. We then learnt that they were the couple's children.

With them was a middle-aged woman, who told us that she was the man's elder sister.

She did not give her name but said her brother was 37 years old.

'They are always quarrelling... his wife is not Singaporean, she's from Jakarta,' she said.

'I was taking their children home when this happened. I don't even know what's happening,' she added, before being called away by a police officer.

She and an older woman, believed to be her mother, had been called to the scene to persuade the man to put down his knives and open the door.

Police and SCDF officers waited quietly along the corridor as the man's family pleaded with him to give up.

They had shields and equipment to break down the door. One officer held a stun gun. At certain points, the man's sister seemed agitated and would shout at the man in Hokkien.

After more than an hour, at 12.30am, the door still didn't open and the family was clearly getting tired and frustrated.

At this point, Special Operations Command officers arrived with shields and a sledgehammer.

But before they could act, the man opened his door at 12.40am.

He was given a drink of water by an officer. He also bent down as if to hug his children, who had also been taken upstairs.

As the police searched the house, they found the body of a 26-year-old woman. She was clad in blue jeans and a white blouse, and lay face-up on the floor of a bedroom. There were bruises on her neck, but no other visible injury.

The man was arrested and taken away. The police confirmed that they will be treating the case as murder.

At press time, they had yet to identify the victim.

Bukit Merah Murder
Kids play on, 'boyfriend' loses cool  
By Faith Teo

October 27, 2005      




THERE was a contrast of moods at the crime scene last night.

The dead woman's children were initially laughing as they chatted with police officers, unaware that their mother had been murdered.

They were also running around at the void deck watched by members of their father's family, before being accompanied upstairs.

When they came back down, they were in tears.

A man believed to be the woman's boyfriend was in a foul mood after photographers tried to take his picture.

He is believed to have been the one who called the police to inform them that the woman was in trouble.

The stout and bespectacled man was being interviewed by police investigators at the void deck.

  
Hundreds gathered around the block to watch the unfolding drama.  
He became agitated when the photo-taking started and ignored advice from the police to calm down.

He strode towards the press, who were standing in a group.

Jumping onto a tiled partition, he demanded to know who had taken his picture, and insisted that the photographers give him the memory cards in their cameras.

Two officers managed to coax him off the partition. As he was being led away, the photographers prepared to start shooting again.

Incensed, the man turned around suddenly charged at the press members. Two uniformed officers quickly grabbed hold of him by the neck and torso, and demanded that he calm himself.

After a short scuffle, he walked away.

He was later taken to see the woman's body, and left soon after.

Boyfriend:
We met in a pub 6 months ago  
By Ng Tze Yong and Esther Au Yong

October 28, 2005      




A LIFE was at stake and he was frantic.

  
Lim Ah Seng being led away by the police yesterday. -- Pics/JONATHAN CHOO
He called the police to tell them he had received an SMS from his girlfriend that she was in danger.

He then rushed to her Bukit Merah flat to try to save her.

But his efforts were in vain.

He could not get into the flat and four hours later, when the woman's husband surrendered to the police, she was found dead in a bedroom.

During the long wait on Tuesday night, the police also restrained the man when he charged at a group of photographers trying to take his picture.

His grief overwhelmed him when the body of Madam Riana Agustina, 26, was taken away from her flat.

  
An investigator removing items from the flat.  
He had failed her during her desperate need for help.

That heart-wrenching pain was still present yesterday when The New Paper spoke to him at his Tampines flat.

Tired and in mourning, the stout and bespectacled man was initially aggressive. He had not slept much and his temper was frayed.

He was agitated when photographers tried to take his picture again.

But he later calmed down and agreed to a short interview on condition that he was not named or photographed.

'I'm just a friend. We met six months ago at a pub,' he said, not admitting outright that Madam Riana was his girlfriend.

'Who wouldn't help to call the police in this kind of situation? Perhaps my number was the first one that was on her phone.'

He insisted they were just friends, despite describing her as his girlfriend in his call to the police on Tuesday.

His eyes sunken from lack of sleep, the man told us that Madam Riana had been a beautician at an Orchard Road salon.

'I don't know much about her. She was a quiet person.

'But she was nice, and we would meet regularly for coffee,' he said.

TALKED ABOUT MANY THINGS

When asked what they talked about, he hesitated for a while, and seemed to be deep in thought.

'We talked about things that friends usually talk about, like daily happenings, movies, and so on,' he said, finally.

'Sometimes, she would call me, and other times, I would call her.'

He claimed that he didn't know much about her personal life.

'She was a quiet person. She didn't say much about her life.'

But it was clear the man's family knew her well.

The man's father was equally distressed about her death.

The elderly man said he was 'tired and had not slept the whole night and day'.

Then he revealed that his son and Madam Riana had 'made plans to get married'.

But when we asked the man about this, he brushed it aside.

He said: 'She was already married. How could we have made plans to marry?

'She was also not stupid. She would have known that, as a married woman, if she got married again, she would be charged in court.'

With that, the man signalled the end of the interview.

'That's all,' he said, as he slowly shuffled back to the kitchen.

'There's nothing more I can tell you.'

We pressed him to answer one last question.

What is the one thing you remember about her?

'That she is dead,' he said. 'It all happened less than 24 hours ago, I can't think of anything else.'

Police said this morning that Madam Riana's husband, Lim Ah Seng, would be charged with murder today.

Armed with two knives inside his Block 132 flat in Bukit Merah, Lim had held the police at bay for four hours on Tuesday after they responded to her boyfriend's call.

Police negotiators were called in and the man's relatives tried to talk him into giving himself up.

During the tense stand-off, his two children were taken up to the unit in the hope that they could convince their father to come out.

At 12.40am, Lim gave in and was arrested.

The police then searched the flat and found Madam Riana's body.

She was believed to have been strangled or smothered and there were visible injuries on her neck.

She was wearing a white blouse and blue jeans and lying face up in the bedroom.

The police removed some pillows and a bolster from the unit.

The New Paper understands no bloodstains were found on the two knives that her husband, 37, a delivery man for a provision shop, allegedly used to hold police at bay.

Shin Min Daily News yesterday quoted an unnamed female neighbour as saying Madam Riana had told her she had initiated divorce proceedings.

She said the family looked quite loving when they first moved in earlier in February. But things soon soured.

'Less than a month after they moved in, they started quarrelling very often. They argued very loudly and even threw furniture in their flat.

'All the neighbours could hear them and even their children cried because they were scared from all the shouting.'

A Filipino maid who lives two doors away also told The Straits Times the couple would fight every evening, often until 1am or 2am.
