2 Pinay pole dancers arrested in Malaysia's anti-vice raid

Two Filipinas moonlighting as exotic pole dancers were detained by Malaysian authorities following a raid on an establishment in Kuala Lumpur last Monday, a Malaysian news site reported Thursday.

A report on Malaysia's The Star Online cited a report in the vernacular newspaper "Harian Metro" indicating the Filipinas were among 12 foreign women detained following the raid.

While the women work as maids during the day, they work as exotic pole dancers at night, the report said.

The raid by Malaysian anti-vice officers occurred at 11 p.m. Monday at an entertainment outlet in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur.

Likewise detained following the raid were 50 customers and the caretaker.

The Star Online report quoted "Harian Metro" as saying the women aged 23 to 37 they could earn about RM300 (P4,054) a night at the joint. — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News

Vietnam condemns China's 'brutal behavior' in fisher attack ---- Agence France-Presse

HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned on Wednesday China's "brutal behavior" during a violent attack on Vietnamese fishers in the disputed South China Sea.

Russia captures town after 2 years of Ukrainian resistance --- Reuters

Russian forces now control 98.5% of Luhansk, 60% of Donetsk MOSCOW: Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defense ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report.

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he
