A BLOODY, BAD-TEMPERED NEW YEAR HERE
Mr Peh Boon Poh was killed just 800m from his in-lawsÂ’ terrace house, by the side of an unlit and deserted road. This happened on Tuesday, the third day of the CNY. Mr Peh and his family were visiting his wifeÂ’s home town Bahau, in Negri Sembilan. Due to whatever reasons, Mr Peh had quarreled with his wife of 17 years, and had shown his temper in various way in the in-lawsÂ’ house. The last straw could be the act of sweeping dishes off the dining table and flinging furniture about the house.
The moral of the story is that what-ever happen, do not throw your temper in other people house. This is especially so during CNY.
