However, it now emerges that he spent the last months of his life in the Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged, reportedly relatively happily and without making any further breaks for freedom. Uncle Beng came into the news in an FMT report in March 2020, when he was discovered, head wrapped in bandages, in his trishaw outside his favourite kopitiam, Lai Heng 88 Cafe near Komtar. - More -   Bank error leaves hundreds in ‘debt’ with accounts frozen Posted by: superadmin - 02-01-2022, 10:55 AM - Forum: Business.

Posted by: superadmin - 02-01-2022, 10:46 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi says the current government will not collapse even if Perikatan Nasional (PN) pulls its support for it. Noting how the slim support Barisan Nasional had in the Johor state assembly forced the coalition to call for the state elections, he said the situation was the same in the federal government, where Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has a “weak majority”. “That is why the federal government should take the same steps as in Johor.
