Angry musician strikes housemate with guitar stand after door-slamming dispute in Ampang
KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 — A 46-year-old local musician was arrested yesterday for allegedly assaulting his housemate with a guitar stand in a door-slamming incident in Pandan Indah, Ampang Jaya. Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said the musician was released the same day after police recorded his statement. He said the incident occurred last Monday after the victim, a 52-year-old man, was jolted by the slamming of a bathroom door at 6.30am. 'Annoyed by it, he came out of his room and slammed the bathroom door in response. The suspect then came out of his room with a guitar stand in hand and hit the victim with it. The suspect also threatened to bring his friend to beat the victim,' he said in a statement here today. He said police arrested the musician at 4.45pm yesterday in Pandan Jaya and seized a black guitar stand to assist in the investigation. The case is being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means and Section 506 of the same code for criminal intimidation. — Bernama

Presentation in Hampton provides first-hand account of Vietnam
HAMPTON — Learn about a new perspective on the Vietnam war through a first-hand account during a presentation in Hampton. The Fletcher Memorial Library will host Jamie Boss, who will discuss his latest book 'Coming of Age in Vietnam' Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. Boss will also exhibit photographs taken during his tour of duty in 1968 and 1969. Boss, still a teenager, had been a civilian mechanic and became a tank repairman during the war, where he was often sent out in the battlefield. Now a local musician with a background in graphic design, he has self-published three books, including this latest. 'I was concerned with the lack of information out there about Vietnam,' Boss said about his decision to write this memoir. 'My presentation will be about the Vietnam no one ever told you about, how we lived day to day and the types of jobs.' The event is free of charge. The library is located at 257 Main Street/Route 97.
