The suit was filed in 2023 by 10 investors and two former employees of Vinod, who alleged misrepresentation, fraud and breach of contract. Judicial commissioner Datuk Adam @ Edward Abdullah, in allowing Anwar’s application to set aside the subpoena issued on 15 January, ruled that the plaintiffs had failed to establish that the prime minister was a relevant and material witness to the proceedings. “No useful purpose would be served by compelling his attendance.

Kitaran Cinta—Lelaki Hebat, Wanita Berusia dan Isteri Jelita Sarat Hamil

Image
Pada suatu lewat petang, seorang lelaki ternampak seorang wanita berusia meniti ke alam tua terdampar di bahu lebuh raya. Walaupun dalam senja yang semakin pudar, dia dapat merasakan wanita lewat 50an itu memerlukan bantuan. Dia memperlahankan Proton Saga Iswara usang yang dipandunya ke hadapan kereta Mercedes wanita itu, enjin lamanya tersekat-sekat dan terbatuk-batuk ketika dia melangkah keluar dalam kesejukan tengkujuh. Walaupun senyuman meyakinkan di wajah lelaki itu, wanita itu ketakutan. Dia telah berdiri di sana selama lebih sejam, dan kereta terus berdengung lalu. Adakah lelaki itu akan menyakitkannya? Dia rasa tidak selamat dan bimbang—lelaki itu nampaknya macam orang miskin, letih dan lapar. Lelaki itu dapat membaca rasa panik di mata wanita ketika dia berdiri menggigil kesejukan.

Cycle of Love—M Borhan—Elderly Woman—Teh Faridah—Back to M Borhan

Image
One evening, a man spotted an elderly lady stranded on the shoulder of the highway. Even in the fading twilight, he could tell she needed help. He pulled his beat-up Proton Saga Iswara over in front of her Mercedes, his old engine sputtering and coughing as he stepped out into the chill. Despite the reassuring smile on his face, the lady was terrified. She had been standing out there for over an hour, and cars had just kept buzzing past. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't exactly look safe—he looked poor, exhausted, and hungry. The man could read the sheer panic in her eyes as she stood shivering in the cold.

By the way, my name is Deddy M Borhan." It was just a flat tire, but for an older lady, it was an insurmountable obstacle. M Borhan crawled underneath the chassis to find a ...
