A prison guard has been suspended from work pending further investigation and shall appear in court on 26 April to answer a charge under the criminal law. His charge - using a Bible to assault a prisoner in the Blue Earth County Jail located in Mankato of Minnesota, USA.
In a humourous saying, the guard was trying to drive the Bible's teaching through the prisoner's head ...... hehehe

Police Technology
In China, police has adopted a small video camera attached to their hat which will capture your wrongdoings and will be used to settle any disputes between you and the police. Easily caught red-handed. 
Smart usage of technology. Another way to overcome bribery provided what was recorded was relayed back to the police HQ and couldn't be deleted. (source: 6park.com)

Nasi Kandar
Below is a list that showed the price increase for food & beverage served at Restoran Nasi Kandar Di Kayu. Unbelievable and ridiculous prices!!!!! You can't protest with placards or shout at the top of your voice at the restaurant's doorstep (as this will attract the police) BUT you and your friends can boycott such restaurant.
I went to this restaurant before just because a friend told me to try their food and it was some time back during the old prices. Can't remember the exact address but it's somewhere near Sea Park area in Petaling Jaya. They have another restaurant in Penang too.

Double Crossing the Mafia
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is." The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is. The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about." The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"
The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!" The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"
The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?" The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."
Don't you just love lawyers?
