Accidental fall not possible

A police officer walking along a canal in Kampung Bukit Lanchong to identify where William Yau Zhen Zhong could have fallen in.

RIVER BOOMS: William Yau's body could not have floated past 3 traps along Sungai Klang

SUBANG JAYA: A NEW lead has emerged which debunks the accidental death theory in William Yau Zhen Zhong's case.

It was earlier believed that William had accidentally fallen into Sungai Klang after walking about three kilometres from where he was last seen in Putra Heights.

But new evidence showed that it was not possible for his body to have ended up where it was found near Kampung Sireh, Port Klang, if William had fallen into the river at Putra Heights.

This was because log booms and waste traps had been installed along the river. The body would have been caught up in the traps.  Read more .......  

You can stare down killer dogs

AGGRESSIVENESS: The killer dog attack on 74-year-old jogger Yip Sin Hua in Subang Jaya, Selangor, on Tuesday spooked many people and sparked discussions on the tendency of restricted breeds to kill. Dog trainers G. Siva and Shashi Kumar tell Tan Choe Choe that such aggression is not breed-specific behaviour

Question: If I'm a jogger, how can I prevent a dog from thinking that I'm running away like prey whenever I pass through? Do I stop and walk whenever I pass by the house?

Siva: You cannot stop at every house that keeps a dog. If the dog keeps on barking, you must warn the owner. The owner has the responsibility to keep the dog from harming others. But if the dog attacks you, try your best to face the dog.

The dog will not hang on to you if they're not trained. They're like wolves; they like to bite and jump back. Attack and withdraw.

On its own, it would not try to bring you down. As a pack, it may. In this case, I suspect the dog chased the jogger and knocked into him from the back, and the impact caused him to fall.  Read more ...........
