DISAPPOINTED INDONESIANS RETURN HOME
Seventeen Indonesian women left for home yesterday after the promise of employment here was not fulfilled.
They were part of a party of 39 who arrived in Johor Baru five days ago to take up a job offer in an electronics factory.
To their disappointment, they were informed upon their arrival here that the factory could no longer employ them. This was due to a drop in the factory’s production.
Earlier, the women, aged 18 to 23, were elated when they first received news last September that there were jobs available in Johor Baru. .

6e CROCODILE SPOTTED ALONG RIVER IN MALACCA
A crocodile measuring more than 4 metres long has been regularly seen along the riverbanks of Sungai Rembau recently.
Villagers said the crocodile had eaten ducks and chickens from houses close to the riverbanks.
Mini-market owner, Chua Kee Teck, 39, saw the crocodile when several villagers showed it to him yesterday.
“It was lying on the riverbank for about an hour,” he said.
Mohd Yusof Thamby Chik, 58, a retired bank staff said, “This is not the only crocodile in the river. There are many more in the stream where the river joins the Linggi River.”
Atan Bidin, 50, who goes fishing in the river said the crocodile could be a buaya tembaga because it had yellow spots on its enormous body.
