Undie maker scores by inserting exam tips

AN underwear manufacturer in China has included examination tips in its packages in a bid to stand out from its competitiors, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Each pack of the zhuang yuan ku (top scorer pants) contains five underwear pieces and a handbook containing what it says are “the secrets to success in high school examinations”.

The manufacturer claimed that the tips in the handbook were written by top scorers of such examinations, in which they provide study tips and relate their experiences.

A photograph of five top scorers is also printed on the packets to back up their manufacturer’s claims that their tips are genuine.

The paper said the underwear packs were found mainly in supermarkets in China.

> The daily also reported that the Singapore Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has launched a manhunt for a cat killer in the republic.

The society has distributed leaflets to residents of 12 blocks of flats at Hougang, where a number of cats were found poisoned and abused to death.

So far, six cats have died and one seriously injured since early this month.

The flat residents were asked to be on the lookout for the cat killer.

> China Press reported that Malaysian actress Angelica Lee Sinje would again collaborate with her husband, Hong Kong movie director Oxide Pang, to make another movie. She said her latest film would be a thriller, but it would be different from her previous movies.

Asked who would be the male lead, Lee said it was not the time to reveal the cast list yet.

Lee and Oxide became a couple after making the 2002 hit, The Eye.
