When men get together, a common topic of conversation is usually the opposite sex. It was no different when the three good friends, Ah Keat, Ah Beng and Ah Hooi got together for a cup of coffee in the small village coffee shop. They might start talking about other , but would always wind up talking about women.
One day, Johan went to visit his good friend, Latiff. The two became friends when they were studying at one of the vocational schools in the country.

Once my mother operated a perm parlour in a certain street in our hometown. All the houses in the street were used for carrying out businesses except the house three doors away from my mother’s perm parlour. It was the residence of a private school teacher. There was nothing remarkable about the house except for a woman who always sat on the high concrete threshold of the house.
Nicole’s husband, Jonathan, was a loan shark. She hated him very much. He had ruined the lives of many people. The people he lent money to were usually very poor. These people could not take a loan from a bank or a finance company because they had no collateral to offer. Being poor, they had no land or house which they could offer as security to the banks and finance companies.
This book is primarily designed as a sourcebook for lawyers and psychiatrists who are interested or involved in the subject of diminished responsibility. It is an attempt to convey a general picture of the concept which shows how it has been interpreted by the courts and expert witnesses. The book begins with an overview and analysis of the concept of diminished responsibility and a general introduction of where law and psychiatry intersect in this area. Thereafter the authors adopt the traditional approach of describing and discussing basic principles in relation to the various aspects of "abnormality of mind" as envisaged under the definition of diminished responsibility, before passing to a study of actual cases. The final chapter is an attempt to deal with and confront what are perceived to be the potentially problematical issues (recommending proposals wherever feasible) in which the complex relationship between law and psychiatry is presently concerned in interpreting diminished responsibility.
Hassan was a rice planter. His small hut was filled with relatives and friends. They had come to Hassans hut because his wife, Minah, was about to give birth to their first child. Someone had made a big kettle of coffee and some of the women had prepared some cakes. So, they drank coffee, ate cakes and chatted while waiting for the baby to be delivered. As was usual with kampong folk in the old days, a midwife was going to help Minah to deliver her child.
Since the fall of President Suharto in May 1998, Indonesia, the third largest country in Asia, has been facing a political, economic and social crisis. Racial and religious clashes, culminating in riots, burning and chaos, have become a daily event throughout the country. There are signs that this multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural country may disintegrate just as Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. There are two major reasons why Indonesia is facing the crisis. First, Suharto failed to keep the balance of power between the armed forces and Islam, just as Sukarno had failed in his interplay of strength between Communism and the armed forces. When the balance was tilted, chaos and disasters followed. The second reason is that the Indonesian people, at least a section of them, have lost the spirit of tolerance -- symbolised in the Indonesian state crest, Bhenneka Tunggal Ika ('Unity in Diversity') -- which is so vital in a multi-religious and plural society. The mass killing of thousands of ethnic Chinese on 13 May 1998; the appearance of mysterious 'ninja' murders, the burning of churches and mosques, and the religious clashes between Christians and Muslims in Ambon have all indicated that this spirit of tolerance which was once so strongly imbedded in the Indonesian culture is fast evaporating. There seems to be no more rule of law in the country. The cry for 'jihad' among the Muslims in Jakarta, to take revenge on the Christians in Ambon, is making the more moderate religious leaders panicky. There is a tendency among the Indonesians to take the law into their own hands. Some extreme Muslims even hope to establish an Islamic State of Indonesia. Economically, Indonesia'scommerce and industries have been ruined, with foreign investors shunning the country. Millions of people are dying everyday from hunger. The economic situation is deteriorating everyday. The author of this book is the for
