A 33-YEAR-OLD man who just got married jumped from a hotel’s third floor half naked to escape religious authorities so that he could keep his affair a secret.
Harian Metro reported that the man, who still had inai (henna) on his fingers, ran out of the room when Malacca Islamic Religious Depart-ment (Jaim) officers raided a budget hotel in Ujong Pasir.
He left his lover, a 34-year-old single mother, behind but later surrendered himself at the Jaim enforcement office.
Jaim enforcement chief Rahimin Bani said investigations revealed that the man jumped out of a window wearing only his shorts.
“The man ran in fear that his wife would find out about his lover, who had known him for a long time,” he said.
> The daily also reported that a 40-year-old trader threatened his mother with a meat cleaver after he tried to chase her and his four siblings out of their house.
The man wanted to sell the house, which he had inherited from his father in Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur, because its value had appreciated to over RM500,000.
Sources said the man argued with his mother for 10 minutes before holding a meat cleaver to her neck in a fit of rage.
“The man threatened to kill her and his four siblings if they did not leave the house.
“Although the man calmed down after his mother started crying, ordered her to leave the next day,” the source said.
