Women's Rights 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

I got this from a forwarded email and not sure which country this applies to. But it is good for knowledge.

___________________________________________________________________

I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. 
We were discussing the law and women's rights. 

She told me about this incident 
 - a young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver's license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. 

Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed. 

In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her... 

It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6 pm and 6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. 
And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest. 

It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power. Just thought I'd share this with you. I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this

HWCMalaysia: Big Passion for Small Cars


I found out about Hot Wheels Cars Malaysia (HWCM) Club from The Star on Friday and was surprised that there is such a club with more than 160 members. When I join today, I guess I am member number 180+.

I always have passions on cars, even before I got my driving license. However, coming from a not so well-off family I can’t afford a real car when I was young. My interest of collecting small cars started when my father bought Shell Helix motor oil which comes with free Maisto die cast car. One of the models that I like most is Dodge Viper RT/10 which I still have it today.


I personally started collecting more small cars when Shell introduced the Ferraris in 2007 which so happen to be models from Hot Wheels. That year I bought more than 2 sets of the Ferraris which I sold off one set a year later when Shell introduced the 2008 collection. I still have 2 sets of the 2008 collection and will try to sell of one set soon. I also have two sets of the James Bond’s car which was introduced during the showing of Quantum of Solace. I could vividly remember that during the 2 years when Shell introduced their collections, I would be very hardworking driving my CLK around just to finish off the petrol so that I could pump in some more in order to buy the cars again. Just a note, my CLK is not from MB ~ Mercedes Benz but from P2 ~ Perodua. So, you know hard I have to work as my CLK (Cute Little Kancil) does not consume so much petrol. And when I buy one, I can feel the sense of satisfaction and achievement when holding them in my hand.

Anyway, I am quite slow in this year’s collection as I am out of job for a couple of months now but I am determined to complete my 2009 collection. I don’t have a lot of collections but from the less than 40 cars I have (not including duplicates), mostly comes from promotions. I feel cars from promotions like from Shell are really limited editions as you cannot just buy them from the store.

To all the enthusiast, I highly recomend them to join a club like HWCMalaysia.
