Ng Mun Tatt: ‘My assault has nothing to do with sex bloggers’ Ramadan bak kut teh photo’
17 Jul 2013 12:58pm
The photo of Ng Nun Tatt that went viral.
Ng Mun Tatt said at a press conference here today that his case concerned money and his assailants wrote the words “Saya hina Islam” on his body as a tactic for the public to beat him up if he escaped from them, Malaysian Insider reported.
He added that he was shocked to see his photograph which was taken at the police station going viral on the Internet.
He said he was also shocked when the police said his case was triggered by the Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee Ramadan bak kut teh photo.
“I don’t even know anything about them and I have not offended anyone recently. I have a Facebook account, but I only posted about my haircut and my English and Malay are not very good,” he said.
“It was not about any (Facebook) posting. They (kidnappers) only wanted money and purposely wrote Saya Hina Agama Islam (I insulted Islam) on my body because they did not want me to escape when I was in their custody, saying that I would be beaten up by any Muslim if I planned to get away,” he said, Star Online reported.
Ng said he was having a meal with his girlfriend around 4.30am when eight men abducted him.
“They told my friends not to make a move and took me away,” he said.
“I was drugged, blindfolded, assaulted and did not know where I was being taken. I remember them asking my brother-in law for my bank pin number and the next thing I remember was waking up naked in an estate at about 10am with the words on my body,” said Ng.
He said he then ran out from the estate where a motorcyclist along the Duke Highway took him to a police station.
Ng’s brother-in law, Mak Nui Weng, 28, who was also present at the press conference, said the abductors had asked for RM5,000.
“They demanded that I transfer the money immediately. I managed to deposit RM3,000 into Ng’s account at about 8am. But thank God, they did not kill him,” Mak said, adding that the money deposited was withdrawn by the abductors, Star Online reported.
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said initial investigations revealed that Ng was beaten up by the assailants allegedly over his insensitive statements connected with the sex bloggers’ Ramadan greeting.
He said the police detained four youths in Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya yesterday morning, in connection with the assault.
“We believe the motive (behind the assault) is revenge,” Khalid said, Bernama reported.
In the 3am incident yesterday, Ng was abducted by eight men and forced into a Toyota Alphard vehicle while he was having supper with his girlfriend at a restaurant in Shah Alam.
His girlfriend was unharmed.
Ng was later found stripped naked and abandoned at the 4.5km Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway near the exit to Setiawangsa. He sustained head and body injuries and had the words “Saya hina Islam” written on his body.
A motorcyclist sent him to the Jalan Tun Razak police station where a report was lodged.

Sex bloggers slammed for posting insensitive ‘Buka Puasa’ greeting on Facebook
Sex bloggers slammed for posting insensitive ‘Buka Puasa’ greeting on Facebook
12 Jul 2013 12:54pm
PETALING JAYA – Sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee are again in the spotlight for the wrong reason.
This time, instead of posting videos of them having sex they posted a Selamat Berbuka Puasa message on their joint Facebook page.
But the message was posted along with a photo of them eating bak kut teh (a kind of herbal pork stew) and described it as “wangi, enak, menyelerakan” (fragrant, delicious, appetising).
Alvin Tan confirmed that they posted the greeting when The Star contacted them.
He said it was for “no reason. Just a joke, I guess”.
When asked if he regretted posting it, Tan said “not yet…”.
“Yeah, in a way. I don’t know. I was just curious to see how people will perceive it. It seems not everybody is on the same page as us. It is dark humour. It is just our attempt to see how it will be perceived. It is just trying to be humorous on the matter,” he said in a phone interview with The Star Online.
To him, the unfavourable response shows that “people don’t see the humour, people are mostly angry and upset”.
As to whether he will delete the posting, Tan said he would probably take it down, but “by now, many have shared the picture.”
The post received hundreds of comments mostly slamming the couple for their insensivity.

China liberalises bank lending rates
China liberalises bank lending rates
POSTED: 19 Jul 2013 7:41 PM
China's central bank said Friday it will scrap all controls on lending interest rates and let financial institutions set rates by themselves.
BEIJING: China's central bank said Friday it will scrap all controls on lending interest rates and let financial institutions set rates by themselves.
The move, a key step in plans for liberalising the country's interest rate regime, will remove a floor on lending rates set at 70% of benchmark lending levels set by the central bank.
The People's Bank of China said in a statement on its website that the move will reduce financing costs of domestic companies and improve the allocation of financial resources.
"This will support the real economy and improve economic restructuring and upgrading," the central bank said.
The central bank also said it would remove controls over bill discount rates. But it did not make any changes to its curbs on deposit rates or its policies on mortgage lending.
The People's Bank of China said that relaxing controls on bank deposit rates is a risky process that needs mature market conditions, so it will be carried out gradually.
The new rules come into effect on Saturday.

性爱博客陈杰毅李美玲 被控三项罪名
性爱博客陈杰毅李美玲 被控三项罪名
性爱博客陈杰毅（25岁）Alvin Tan 和李美玲（24岁）Vivian Lee 因肉骨茶和性视频风波，昨天（18日）在马国法庭被控三项罪名。
马来西亚籍的前新加坡国立大学法律系学生陈杰毅和女友李美玲，去年在博客公开性爱照与视频，引起各界哗然。
上周四在回教徒的斋戒月期间，两人再度成为头条人物。他们在facebook上载一张破斋时吃肉骨茶的照片，以马来语祝马来同胞斋戒月快乐“Selamat Berbuka Puasa” ，还放了个“清真“的标签。
两人的行为立刻引起公愤，指他们在侮辱回教徒。
自从发生肉骨茶风波后，他们的facebook已关闭，并在Youtube上载视频道歉。
根据马国媒体报道，昨天下午2时左右，两人在法庭面对三项控状，包括触犯2002年电检法令、1948年煽动法令，和触犯刑事法典第298A（1）条文的交替控状。两人否认控罪，不获保释，还押监狱，案件定在8月23日过堂。
若触犯煽动法令，他们将被判入狱三年。其他有关制作色情刊物的罪名，最高惩罚将是入狱5年。
马来西亚前首相马哈迪日前 （16日）说，两人必须就他们不负责任的行为面对严重的惩罚。
他说，”说一些引起公愤的话可能会引来仇恨。这些人没有常识，孺子不可教也。“
陈杰毅曾是新加坡国立大学亚细安奖学金的得主，去年因性爱照与视频已遭大学的纪律处分，最后停学和被取消奖学金。
让我们来重温案件的发展经过。
