It’s Raining Money!

An Indonesian businessman has scattered 100 million rupiah ($10,700; £5,406) in banknotes from a plane to promote his new motivational book.

Tung Desem Waringin said he would rather share money for a promotional campaign with people who needed it.

His plane flew over a sports field in Serang city, 60km (40 miles) west of Jakarta, dropping four loads of bills of small denomination.

Crowds had been gathering after rumours of the stunt spread on Saturday.

Mr Tung, 42, admitted his scheme was a little “crazy”, but said he wanted to create “a rain of money” over Jakarta.

He had been refused permission to conduct the flight over the capital amid security concerns.

Millions of Indonesians live below the poverty line and distributions of free food and aid regularly draw large crowds.

 

Maid

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s official press agency, have revealed that an Indonesian maid was convicted and henceforth beheaded for the murder of her employer.

The judge revealed that Aisha Al Makhaled was suffocated with a pillow by her maid, who proceeded to steal jewelry.

Since Saudi Arabia follows the Islamic Shari’ah very strictly, those convicted of drug trafficking, murder, rape or armed robbery are excecuted – with a ceremonial sword in public.

 According to official sources, Saudi Arabia beheaded a total of 137 people in 2007, up from 38 in 2006.

O J Simpson better count his blessings. If he’d stolen some useless crap in Saudi Arabia weilding an AK with a bunch of his buddies, they’d all be 6 feet under, without a head.
