Despite that, Paulsen said Maria — who had been denied contact with her lawyers and family until today — was in good cheer. “So far she’s only been there for a couple of days, so she is still in high spirits... for now,� Paulsen told Malay Mail Online, referring to Maria’s stay at the undisclosed detention centre.

Foreign worker books ride from “bus stop on Bukit Timah Road�, tells driver his heartbreaking story
His next words:
my wife die after born my baby girl.
In that little bit of English that he could speak....
He went on to say he and his wife were orphans at an orphanage and grew up together and fell in love.
They had to "betroth" (his word "sell") their baby girl to a family in their village so they had money to pay for doctor visits for her pregnancy. The baby was supposed to be turned over to the family at age 12.
His wife died during childbirth and the family had claimed the baby girl after the hospital turned her over to them.
This man sitting next to me now will never have the chance to see his baby girl or even put his wife to rest.

This incident illustrates why Singapore's AWARE can never function in Malaysia. If you were that woman, what would you do? Press on with your allegations and almost certainly end up in legal and financial ruin, or just apologize which is your only chance to move on with your life? Your answer doth depend on whether you're in Singapore or Malaysia.

[Philippines] - Well, that's one way to get rid of him. A man who raped many women couldn't be convicted of any of the rapes, so they just accused him of drug dealing and shot him dead for it (with Duterte's blessings).

[Singapore] - Ramachandra Chandramohan, 34, faces seven charges - three for assaulting three policemen, two for verbally abusing an officer and one each for disorderly behavior and for wounding the religious feelings of a Malay police officer by insulting Allah.
His co-accused Gunasegaran Rajendran, 35, and Jaya Kumar Krishnasamy, 29, face two and three charges respectively, including one each for disorderly behavior.
Ramachandra accused officers of manhandling him and his co-accused by pulling their collars, while Gunasegaran claimed officers had pushed his wife.
He also denied joining Ramachandra in wounding the religious feelings of a Malay police officer, saying he “did not utter those words�. Instead, he claimed it was another police officer who had made an “anti-religious remark� to him, and questioned why that police officer was not charged.
