Every time see this kind of news in FB, but didn't expect it will happen to my own family,

14th August 2013, around 3.45pm, my mom, the one who driving along the CONNAUGHT highway alone,as claimed by her just pass by the pass way bridge, not far from MCD or GIANT / outside Connaught pasar malam, suddenly a big stone hits her wind screen and blew off a big hole in front, luckily my mom wearing sunglasses while the stone chips hit her face and it messed all over the car. I couldnt imagine what happen if the stone hots her eyes, And luckily her response are not in lost control when the things happened. When she called me through the phone, i can heard her voice of frighten and scare but no choice have to drive slowly back home to make a further decision. She is not hurt in physically, but mentally annoyed. We do think of making a police report, but due to our previous 2 times of bad experience of the police officer attitude when taking our report (they treated us like we are the criminal), so we decided not to launch the report as you and I would know its a pretty useless action. This share is just to let more people know there are some physco out there in Connaught. I assumed it is lucky to have windscreen slightly tinted whereby our country officer actually takes that as a offenses or a "chances", to me, if we do not protect ourself, who will? Please be careful. — at Taman Connaught.

Girl hit by flying object

BALING: A 10-year-old girl received 14 stitches on her face after she was hit by a "flying" object while she was on her way home in Kampung Terbak here from school last Tuesday.

Nuralia Shamimi Mohd Jefri, accompanied by her two schoolmates, was walking across a football field when a metal object, believed to be from a lawn mower, hit her face.
The Year Five pupil of SK Kampung Bandar Siong sustained serious injuries and suffered a broken nose.

"I was walking home from school with my two friends when I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my face.

"The next thing I knew, blood was dripping down my face and I felt like fainting.

"My friends panicked and rushed back to the school to inform the teachers."

She was rushed to Baling Hospital before being transferred to Sultan Abdul Halim (HSAH) Hospital in Sungai Petani for further treatment. Asked about the "flying object", she said she did not see it coming until it was too late.

However, she learnt from her friends that the blunt and hard object came from the direction of the school lawn mower, which was in use not far from her. Her mother, Mazlina Md Desa, 40, said she was preparing food at her stall nearby when she heard her daughter's cries for help.

"I rushed over and saw her crying in pain. I was shocked to see her face covered in blood.

"According to the doctor, her wound is 2cm deep and she fractured her skull in the accident.

"Nuralia will undergo a thorough checkup and treatment at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star next month."
