Court complex hit by calamity again

KUALA LUMPUR: Yet another calamity hit the brand-new Jalan Duta court complex yesterday when a faulty pipe burst, causing the cafeteria floor to be flooded.

At about 9.15am yesterday, a burst pipe end cap caused water to gush out from a service room at the basement cafeteria, resulting in much of the floor being covered in 7cm of water.

The incident was the latest in a series of major incidents in less than a month to hit the RM290mil complex, touted as the world's second-largest court complex.

Public Works Department (PWD) director-general Datuk Dr Judin Abdul Karim said the incident was caused by a pipe end cap at a T-joint.

“The end cap was made of UPVC material which is different from the T- joint which was made from ABS class 15. The end cap has been replaced with an ABS elbow class 15 as per the original specification,” he said in a written statement.

Boob job gone wrong

KUALA LUMPUR: Believing that big is beautiful, a 31-year-old woman went for a boob job. The result devastated her.

The woman, who wants to be known only as Tay, said she went for plastic surgery to enlarge her breasts in November 2005 at the advice of a beautician.

After a month, she felt an excruciating pain where the so-called surgeon had injected her.

She had paid RM6,400 to beautify her assets and received half the money back after she went back to the Taiwanese surgeon to complain about her condition.

He promised to refer her to a “specialist,'' saying that the other surgeon would remove whatever substance was causing the pain in her breasts.

The doctor, who claimed to have dozens of certificates from all over the world, went missing after six months and the “specialist” he promised never surfaced.
