Woman forgives mum who asked boy to steal wallet
A WOMAN who was caught on camera asking a boy to take a wallet from a cashier’s counter at a shopping mall in Penang has returned it to the rightful owner, Guang Ming Daily reported.
The wallet was left behind by one Li Hui Yi after she paid her bill at the cashier’s counter on Dec 17.
After realising that she had lost her wallet, Li checked with the mall officials and reviewed the CCTV footage. She found the woman asking the boy, who is believed to be her son, to take the wallet.
The woman and the boy left the store after taking the wallet, the paper reported.
Li lodged a police report and posted the video clip on Youtube asking the woman to return the wallet. A few days later, the woman contacted Li to apologise and returned the wallet.
Li also withdrew her police report and took down the video clip as she wanted to give a second chance to the woman and the boy.

> The daily also reported that 15 national Chinese conforming schools (SMJK) in Perak could teach Mathematics and Science in English for Form One classes next year.
But, only one class from each school could have the dual language programme (DLP).
The Perak Education Department stated that the schools were only allowed to have one class under the DLP programme as the schools’ standard of Bahasa Malaysia did not meet the national Average Subject Grade.
The school authority as well as its board of directors and ParentsTeachers Associations had appealed to the Education Ministry and the state Education Department on the matter.
Only two SMJK schools in the state – SMJK Ave Maria Convent and SMJK Perempuan Perak – could fully implement DLP programme for its Form One students next year, the report said.
