Kenyan lawyer wants to marry Obama’s elder daughter Malia


Felix Kiprono, a Kenyan lawyer has expressed a desire to marry 16-year-old Malia, the elder daughter of US President Barack Obama. Felix has offered an assortment of livestock comprising 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats to Barack Obama in exchange.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 26 May 2015.
The age of Felix Kiprono has not been disclosed but, it seems, it has been his dream to marry Malia, the President's elder daughter. He has been interested in her in 2008 and, he has admitted that he hasn’t dated anyone since and has promised to be faithful to her.
He is serious and wants to put his offer to the President when he visits Kenya in July – it was the country where Barack Obama’s father was born.
Felix would be writing a letter to Obama and would request him to bring Malia along with him when he visits Kenya. He says his love for Malia "is real" and that he is not after the family’s money. He and Malia would lead a "simple life" as man and wife and he would teach her how to handle odd jobs around the house like milking a cow, cooking ugali (maize porridge) and preparing mursik (a traditional sour milk). He wants her to become like any other Kalenjin woman.

Malaysia flooding forces PM Najib Razak to cut short his Hawaii vacation


#NajibRazak #Kelantan #Malaysia #floods #2004Tsunami Malaysia is facing some of the worst floods in decades along its east coast and there are reports of at least five deaths. The Kelantan state is the worst hit and over 100,000 people have been forced out from their homes.
Prime Minister Najib Razak has returned early from holiday in Hawaii in the US where he was shown playing golf with US President Barack Obama. The Prime Minister would be visiting the worst-hit areas of northern Kelantan state.
It is not unusual for the eastern states to be flooded during the monsoon season, but this time around, there was heavier rain and stronger winds that have made things worse for the people. But, as per the Malaysian government, this flooding is the worst in more than 30 years with entire towns submerged in some of the areas. Rescue workers are working overtime and struggling to bring in enough food and supplies for families that are in relief centers.
In the opinion of weather forecasters, there would be no respite for north-eastern states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. This Northeastern peninsula of Malaysia is worst affected. It is regularly hit by flooding during the annual Northeast Monsoon, but this year's rains have been particularly bad.
Reports indicate that nearly 60 foreign tourists were among almost 100 people rescued by boat and helicopter from a resort in a Malaysian national park that was lashed by its highest rainfall since 1971.
The flooding comes even as communities in northwestern Malaysia mark the 10th anniversary of the devastating 2004Tsunami that had struck on Dec. 26, 2004.
