tamil

A MAN in Tamil Nadu, India, apparently killed himself after suffering from constipation for more than a week, Malaysia Nanban reported.

Known only as Segar, the man had jaundice, which can cause constipation. The 44-year-old was staying in a hotel in Nagercoil city where he had sought medical treatment nearby.

A few days ago, he appeared disturbed by not being able to pass motion, so he cut himself with a blade across his neck, stomach and wrists.

Horrified passers-by rushed him to a hospital, but he died.

> The daily also reported that at least 150 pilgrims leaving for India to fulfil their vows were happy with the special lanes arranged for them at KLIA.

The devotees were travelling to Kerala to trek up Sabarimala hill to reach one of the most sacred sites in Hinduism after 48 days of fasting and celibacy.

Sentosa assemblyman Dr G. Gunarajah said the special lanes were set up after approval from the Transport Ministry.
