  2. Local News:Taxi Drivers should be ethicalStarmetro, Thursday,11st april 2013 • More passengers share unpleasant encouter with errant KL cabbies. • Eg. Taxi drivers are predators who hunt their victims and chase after their money with no conscience. • Setting their own rates is absolutely ridiculous and unreasonable. They give reasons like traffic jams to take another road when they all want is to charge higher fares.

  3. CONT’ • Another passenger said about how he and his wife were abused by a cabbie who picked them up from KLCC to get Bandar Utama. “He drove us until Bangsar and then threatened to drop us off on the middle highway. He shouted at my wife several times during the journey. • He also drove recklessly and constantly changed lanes.

  4. Cont • Elisa FarhanaZulkiflee in recounting her experience said: As I got off the bus from Malacca at KlSentral recently, I was approached by at least 10 taxi drives. They harassed me to take their taxis. • The standard rate from KL sentral to Shah Alam is about RM 40 but they quoted RM 80, reasoning that it was midnight. Which justified higher rates.

  5. People who involved: • Passengers • Taxi Driver • Elisa FarhanaZulkiflee • The couple (no mentioned name)

  6. International news:Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was ‘disappointed to death’Sunday 14thapril 2013 • Rehtaeh Parsons wasn’t bullied to death, her dad says. Glen Canning says the Nova Scotia teen was “disappointed to death” by people she felt let her down, including police, her school and friends. She felt an entire community had turned its back on her, and she sought suicide to end the pain. • Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke for many when he said that as a parent he was “sickened seeing a story like this.” There’s a point at which “bullying” doesn’t begin to describe the violence that is being inflicted on some vulnerable young people in our midst, he said. “It is youth criminal activity. It is violent criminal activity. It is sexual criminal activity. And it is often Internet criminal activity.” And sadly, it can be lethal.

  7. CONT’ • After an 18-month battle with suicidal thoughts, Rehtaeh hanged herself on April 4 and died three days later. Her mother Leah Parsons says the teen’s ordeal began in 2011 when she was 15 and was sexually assaulted by four youths at a house party. The family says one of the teens took a cellphone photo of her being assaulted, and it was passed around the town of Cole Harbour and her school through email and social media. Students called her a “slut” when she walked through the school. Friends turned against her. Youths tormented and propositioned her online.

  8. PEOPLE WHO INVOLVED: • Victim (Rehtaeh Parsons) • The 4 teens • Her friends • Family • Police
