A RESTAURANT in Singapore paid tribute to the late Indian film star Sridevi by putting up a statue of the actress in their shop, reported

Makkal Osai.

The owners and workers of the restaurant, who are fans of the actress, had ordered the statue to be made for display in the shop.

Pictures of the life-size statue, which was dressed and decorated with jewellery to resemble her character from one of the movies, have gone viral.

Sridevi, who was one of the top stars in Indian cinema, passed away in Dubai where she was attending a wedding.

> A woman in Kajang, Selangor, claimed she was given only RM200 and a large umbrella by a politician when she approached him for help over her cattle farm, reported

Malaysia Nanban.

The woman, identified only as Sivakumari, 44, said she has been running the farm with her three sons. The farm under a bridge in Sg Tangkas, which she inherited from her family, has 25 cows and 26 goats.

Sivakumari claimed that officers from the Kajang council had asked the family to temporaril­y move into a vacant plot nearby while the bridge underwent maintenanc­e works.

However, they were shocked to be served a notice by the council on March 2 asking them to vacate the land.

Three days later, Sivakumari alleged that council workers demolished the shed under the bridge as well as those in the temporary plot.

Ulu Langat MIC deputy Youth Chief Chandra Devan @ Nivalan was the only one who visited the affected family and promised to help them, she said.
