A MALAYSIAN truck driver has admitted scalping his wife because she dyed her hair and refused to wear the tudung.

Mohamad Azhar Ngah, 34, told a court on Friday he attacked her with a knife at their home in Kuala Lumpur last week because of her appearance.

'I cut her scalp because she did not wear a tudung and she had dyed her hair. I did not like it,' he said.

He faces a jail term of up to three years, a fine and whipping with a cane when a sentence for the offence of voluntarily injuring his wife is handed down on May 14.

Mohamad Azhar said he sent his wife, accounts clerk Rafidah Ibrahim, 34, to the hospital after the attack.

The prosecuting officer, Chief Inspector A. Vasu, said he was still waiting for a medical report on her condition.

Mohamad Azhar and Rafidah have been married for 13 years. They have two sons and a daughter.

The husband, who is living in Kuala Lumpur, came originally from Kelantan, the state with strict Islamic laws ruled by Parti Islam SeMalaysia.

These include the compulsory wearing of headscarves for Muslim women in public.

After Mohamad Azhar pleaded guilty on Friday, he was taken to Sungai Buloh prison.

He will stay there until May 14 because he could not come up with the bail, set at RM2,000 (S$884). -- The Star/Asia News Network, AP

They drive a truck but are still stuck in the 3rd century.

He should have his skin removed by a razor, have alcohol thrown on it than let leaches drain him completely.

We'll send in Democrats to perform a post term abortion. They can suck their minds out through a straw.

I do not like green eggs or hair
I do not like them anywhere
I do not like them on a wife
so I scalped her with my knife

That's the sad reality of Islam. It amazes me that so many Muslims pride themselves on not drinking alcohol and castigate others for drinking, yet disgraceful and barbaric behavior like this is tolerated.

[ValenB4]

They were more advanced and cultivated in the 3rd century than they were after Islam took root.
