WHAT began as a dream of marital bliss has turned into a nightmare for a Malaysian woman who now works three jobs just to stay afloat —while her husband refuses to work and continues depending on her financially. In a heartbreaking post shared on social media and reported by mStar, the woman, who remains anonymous, revealed how her life spiraled after her husband abruptly resigned from his stable job paying over RM3,000 a month shortly after they tied the knot.

Obsessed James Brown sparked two blazes at his home fuelled by his fascination with the fire brigade. Firefighters were sent to Brown's home twice in one night after he rang them reporting fire in his fuse box. Newcastle Crown Court heard it was the culmination of 80 calls to the service he had made in a year. He was described as having a "fascination" and "obsession" with the fire service, rather than fires, and said in an ideal world he would like to be firefighter. Now he has been given a suspended prison sentence after admitting two counts of arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered. It was around 8.15pm on September 9 2023 that the fire brigade were called by Brown...

It’s not unusual for parents to select a unique name for their children to make them stand out. And if you thought X Æ A-12 Musk had the most unusual ring to it, think again. An Indonesian boy is breaking the internet after his name was revealed to be ABCDEF GHIJK Zuzu! Yes, you read that correctly, someone actually named their son after the first 11 letters in the English alphabet. The bizarre discovery was made accidentally when the 12-year-old boy took part in a vaccination drive organized by the local police in Muara Enim district. Health workers originally thought the boy’s name was a joke when they saw it in the appointment list, but their smiles turned to utter...

Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire Meta titan, has been outed as the buyer of a $23 million residence in Washington, DC — a purchase that underscores a growing trend among tech execs securing a foothold in the nation’s capital during President Donald Trump’s second term. The expansive property, located less than 15 minutes from the White House depending on traffic, also places Zuckerberg in walking distance to Vice President JD Vance’s official residence at the Naval Observatory. The transaction, executed in March through a Delaware-based limited liability company in all cash, ranks as the third-most expensive home sale in the city’s history, according to...

The coins were collected by Paul Narce, who lived in a small village in south-west France until his death in 2024, according to Beaussant Lefèvre and Associates. “Narce, who lived a modest life and didn’t see a lot of the world, spent all of his money on his collection,” said coin expert Thierry Parsy in a statement...

A Malaysian woman recently went viral after suggesting that people with higher education levels tend to have better manners — and that she’d much rather date educated men for their “more relevant conversations and arguments.” In a now widely shared Threads post, she questioned: “Why is it that, generally, the higher someone’s education level, the better their manners seem to be? “My friend said maybe it’s because SPM leavers don’t do things like final year projects or assignments—but that sounds kind of illogical to me. “Also, I prefer educated men because arguments and conversations tend to be more relevant and...

CRITICISING THE demolition of some houses by local authorities in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj in 2021 as “inhuman and illegal”, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said the “high-handed” manner in which this was done “shocks our conscience”. It directed the Prayagraj Development Authority to pay Rs 10 lakh each to those affected within six weeks. The bench of Justices A S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan was hearing an appeal against the Allahabad High Court’s decision, on March 8, 2021, to dismiss a clutch of petitions against the demolitions carried out the previous day. The petitioners included a professor, a lawyer and three others. Saying that the...
