Woman falls to her death while fleeing raid
A YOUNG woman in her 20s died at Tunku Jaafar Hospital in Seremban 10 hours after she fell from the third floor window of a budget hotel during a khalwat raid in Teluk Kemang, Port Dickson.
The victim, who was at the time wearing a T-shirt and sarong, was trying to escape from the Negri Sembilan Religious Department officers when she hit her head on the drain.
An eight-man team from the department raided the room at the third floor of the hotel at 3am, after receiving a tip-off about a khalwat (close proximity) case, reported Harian Metro.
The officers knocked on the door for around ten minutes, before the victim opened the door, said the paper.
The startled woman ran back into the room and climbed out through the window, but lost her balance and fell.
The victim was sent to Port Dickson Hospital, before being transferred to the Tunku Jaafar Hospital in Seremban. She died at the hospital.
Her male partner, in his 30s, was also in the room when the religious department officers showed up. He was detained.

Kindergarten forced to have lessons under a tent after failing to pay the rent
> Forty three children at a Kemas kindergarten at Blok I, Seri Petantau Flats, were forced to have their lessons under a tent when their classrooms were locked by the community committee, reported Utusan Malaysia.
The committee did so as a display of dissatisfaction towards the kindergarten management for not paying the rental for the past five months, which amounted to RM2,500.
However, 40 residents prompted the committee to reopen the kindergarten, to which the committee finally agreed.
“This looks like an attempt to stop the children from receiving education,” said the chairman of the kindergarten committee Che Li Abdul Hamid, 49.
