GEORGE TOWN: Police have questioned a restaurant owner for decorating his two premises with wallpaper containing elements of communist ideology.
The owner, whose restaurants are located at Jalan Icon City in Bukit Mertajam and in Pulau Tikus on the island, landed himself in trouble after photos of his communist-themed premises went viral on social media.
There was a wallpaper which featured caricatures of Chinese Revolution leader Mao Tse-Tung, a soldier holding a red book and a group of Chinese army personnel.
Police also seized four small cups bearing the face of Mao Tse-Tung.
BUKIT MERTAJAM: The woman who allegedly bludgeoned a pregnant cat to death for defecating in front of her flat will be remanded until Dec 31 to facilitate police investigations, say the police.
Central Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Shafee Samad said a four-day remand order had been obtained from the magistrate court in Bukit Mertajam.
The woman, a 51-year-old broker, is said to have used a steel rod to clobber the cat and a kitten.
She was detained at her flat in Seberang Jaya here where she apparently hit both cats on Tuesday (Dec 29) at about 1.20pm.
