Woman With Depression Separated From Husband At Mall, Missing For 3 Days
Subscribe to our FREE A Malaysian Chinese woman has been missing for nearly three days after getting separated from her husband while shopping at the MyTown shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur, prompting her family to seek public assistance in locating her. The missing woman, identified as Elaine Ching, 65, suffers from long-term depression and relies on medication to control her emotions, according to her younger brother, who spoke to TRP. The brother, known as Meng, said his sister's condition may have caused abnormal behaviour due to recent stress. According to the family, Ching was shopping with her husband on the day she went missing when they decided to browse separately. Her husband assumed she had returned home, and initially did not notice anything unusual as she had not brought her mobile phone with her. When my brother-in-law returned home, he found that his wife was not there. He thought she might have returned to her parents' home, so he did not communicate with the family to confirm. Family Launches Search After Hospital Sighting The family only learned of her whereabouts when someone posted photos on social media on Saturday (13 July) showing the woman lying on a sofa in the lobby of Hospital Tunku Azizah in Kuala Lumpur. Family members rushed to the hospital at 9 pm that evening, but she had already left. The day shift nurses had also changed shifts, leaving no one able to provide concrete information about her visit. The family subsequently searched nearby LRT stations and even went to Kuala Lumpur General Hospital to check patient admission lists, but were unable to locate her. The family plans to file an official police report and has contacted social activist Kuan Chee Heng, popularly known as 'Uncle Kentang', for assistance. Members of the public with any relevant information are urged to contact Meng at 019-3796465 or Uncle Kentang's hotline at 018-268 3999. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

Ab-Soul Speaks On Joey Bada$$ And West Coast Rap Feud: 'It's A Sport'
Ab-Soul has something to say. After a Red Bull Spiral freestyle cypher, which also featured Big Sean, amped up the rap beef between Joey Bada$$ and seemingly the entire West Coast, the Soul Burger performer explained that he knew what to expect from the moment. 'At the end of the day, I was going to be super cool but f**k it, man. I choreographed the whole sh*t,' explained the 38-year-old to VIBE on Sunday (May 18) ahead of the Red Bull BC One Cypher breaking competition in Denver. 'Because of the whole thing with Joey and a couple of the homies. I knew he was going to have something to say about that.' 'Me and Joey are really close, obviously. And so, we had to let the world know that we are just keeping it on wax. Hip-Hop is competitive, it's a sport. It's real healthy, but it's not…it doesn't have to be disrespectful or dangerous or anything like that…We can get busy and still shake hands.' He continued to explain, 'I also wanted to synchronize it to where if you listen, we're all kind of getting at each other. Everybody is competing against each other, but it's a sibling rivalry. It's a friendly competition… That's the point we were trying to make… And that's Hip-Hop, that's intelligent movement. It's competitive, it's a sport.' Since speaking with Ab-Soul, Joey Bada$$ has traded bars with Daylyt, AZ Chike, and Ray Vaughn with some assistance from Loaded Lux. In full, Reason, Kai Ca$h, Really Jaewon, and CJ Fly have all stepped up to the mic. 'I think when it's really love, it's really like that. If it's not love, then it's not like that,' explained Ab-Soul, of maintaining brotherhood through the noise of the industry. 'I don't walk around trying to make friends. I don't walk around trying to find love. You know what I'm saying? That got to happen organically, and it's a privilege when it does. You've got to cherish it…I don't know if you got brothers or sisters. Like you done fought with your brothers or sisters too, right? But y'all still love each other too, right? I done fist fought with a lot of my best friends, and I will fight for all them too. It's that kind of thing.'

Kamal Haasan is open to filming in M'sia as he arrives in KL to promote new film
Kamal Haasan is happy to present his latest movie 'Thug Life' to his Malaysian fans. Photo: LOW BOON TAT/The Star Indian actor and politician Kamal Haasan is in Kuala Lumpur today (May 31) to promote his latest movie, Thug Life , which is set to hit cinemas on June 5. Speaking to the media at a hotel in KL earlier this afternoon, the 70-year-old described the film as 'a treat' he has prepared for his Malaysian fans. 'We worked hard on this 'child,' which I am now handing over to you,' he said. Thug Life reunites Kamal with director Mani Ratnam after 38 years. Their last collaboration was the 1987 classic Nayakan . Indian media has dubbed Thug Life a 'spiritual sequel' to that film, after Kamal said it was a peace offering to fans who have long awaited their reunion. Co-written by Kamal and Mani, Thug Life is set in the criminal underworld, where brothers Sakthivel and Manickam rule. But things begin to shift when one of them rescues a young boy – triggering insecurity in the other. When an assassination attempt is made on Sakthivel, he sets out to destroy the very family he once built. The film also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan and Joju George. The award-winning actor – whose notable works include Hey Ram , Indian , Vikram and Vishwaroopam – said his character in Thug Life is someone who fights with everything he has. 'That makes him more dangerous than someone with a sword – because he is someone who has nothing to go back to. The battlefield is his home now. He'll see the battle through to the end, live or die,' Kamal said. When asked whether he'd be interested in filming in Malaysia again, Kamal shared that he has shot scenes here in the past and is open to doing so in the future. 'I've come here many times. I have many friends in Malaysia. And I think we share more than just culture and language,' he added. Besides the press conference, Kamal is also scheduled to make a special appearance at a fan meet-and-greet at MyTown Kuala Lumpur later this evening.

Joey Bada$$ Takes Aim at Kendrick Lamar, Ray Vaughn & More on Fiery ‘My Town' Diss Track: Listen
Update: Joey Bada$$ continues to empty the clip as he returns fire with 'Crash Dummy,' which finds him rhyming over 2Pac's 'Hit Em Up' instrumental. Joey Bada$$'s war of the words with the West Coast is heating up. The Brooklyn rapper returned fire on what was a busy Monday night (May 19) in hip-hop as Joey directed his attention at Ray Vaughn, Kendrick Lamar and more on his scintillating 'My Town' diss track. More from Billboard Carín León Nabs Fourth No. 1 on Latin Airplay Chart With 'Ahí Estabas Tú' Here's What Drake Has to Say About the Dreaded 'Drake Curse' in Sports Here's What 50 Cent Has to Say About People Allegedly Wearing 'Free Diddy' Shirts for $20/Hour Outside Court 'I'm the real boogeyman, y'all n—-s should be afraid/ Get the general, I'm killing his troops,' he raps while teasing Lamar. 'Don't make me Pulitzer, better be wise because/ I'm dottin T's and cross your eyes like Whitaker.' Joey had plenty of smoke for TDE's Ray Vaughn and sniped at AzChike, who threw his hat into the ring on Monday with his 'What Would You Do' diss track. 'Look, Ray Vaughn was so last week/ Now, I'm hearing s–t about some nigga named 'Ass Cheek'/ Who wanna be the next victim/ How many Top Dawgs will it take to sick 'em,' Joey spews. The 30-year-old pays homage to Cam'ron's 'Welcome to New York City' with his own spin on the Big Apple staple to close out the outro. Kendrick has yet to address Joey's shots, as the Brooklyn native previously taunted the Compton legend on 'The Finals' earlier in May. Ray Vaughn didn't waste any time in returning fire on Monday with 'Golden Eye,' which finds him rapping over 50 Cent's classic 'Back Down' instrumental. 'Vaughn Wick' jabbed at Joey Bada$$'s relationship with Diddy and claims that there's a video implicating Joey in crimes with the disgraced Bad Boy mogul. 'If you're standin' next to Diddy, then you shouldn't mention dick/ 'Cause if they ever show that footage, you gon' have to plead the fifth,' he raps. The explosives are still seemingly dropping out of the sky every hour as Daylyt returned on Tuesday (May 20), going after Joey on 'Ayo.' The Joey Bada$$ versus the West Coast battle began on New Year's Day when Joey gritted his teeth on 'The Ruler's Back.' He appeared to reignite the flame last week during the 'Red Bull Spiral Freestyle' alongside Ab-Soul and Big Sean. Monday brought about a barrage of lyrical missiles fired as AzChike, Daylyt, CJ Fly, Kai Ca$h, JaeWon, Joey Bada$$ and Ray Vaughn all exchanged diss tracks.
