Malaysia made it into Reuters

From Reuters: Referee pulls out red card, then a gun:

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian referee took out his gun and fired warning shots in the air after a local soccer match turned unruly following the suspension of a player, a newspaper said Tuesday.

The referee, who was also a policeman, ran to his patrol car to get his gun after players mobbed him for showing the red-card to one of them, the New Straits Times said.


Nice. I know I'm guilty of this too, but it's pretty bad how Malaysians have absolutely no respect for policemen. What's cool is that Reuters referenced the NST. Awesome. Malaysian newspapers are in the limelight. What's a limelight, anyway?

Also, are they going through a mid-life crisis or something? From BBC: Indian churches come under attack:


A curfew has been imposed in parts of the eastern Indian state of Orissa after Hindu hardliners attacked up to a dozen Christian churches, police say.

One person was killed and more than 25 injured in the violence in the Kandhamal area on Tuesday, police said.

Christians said it was sparked by Hindus objecting to a performance they were staging to celebrate Christmas.

But a Hindu group said it began when Christians tried to attack a local Hindu leader on Monday, Christmas Eve.

It said a group of people surrounded the vehicle carrying Swami Laxamananda Saraswati as he was on his way to the area. He was taken to hospital but was not seriously hurt.

Object this, attack that. Wth. And for some reason it's always about religion.
