Jasin Town, Malaysia: erste Schule für schwangere Teenager öffnet die Tore

straitstimes.com meldet:
MALAYSIA'S first school for pregnant teenagers wecomed its inaugural batch of students on Monday, defying criticism of the facility which is aimed at curbing an epidemic of 'baby dumping'. Conservative commentators in Muslim-majority Malaysia have complained that Sekolah Harapan or 'School of Hope", which opened on Friday, will only encourage premarital sex. But state officials defended the school as a realistic way of tackling the rising number of abandoned infants who have been dumped, often dead or dying, on rubbish tips and in the streets.

TOP-Hotels Malaysia: The Majestic, Malacca

concierge.com meldet:
With its January 2008 debut, this boutique hotel instantly became the classiest address within the historic port of Malacca. The original teakwood mansion, built in 1929 as the private home of a local rubber baron, oozes history... The restored two-story building now holds a breezy reception area, bar, library, and the Mansion restaurant, which boasts a menu every bit as multicultural as Malacca (Dutch green-pea soup with smoked sausage; Portuguese seafood paella with curry sauce; Peranakan-style shrimp).
