Karaoke Violence

There have definitely been times when I've wished for a random lightning bolt to strike down a particular bad karaoke singer, but I've always been able to restrain myself from physical violence. I ran across this news article which proves that not everyone shows such restraint.

Man Killed in Karaoke Row

A Malaysian man died after being stabbed during a row that erupted after he was accused of hogging the microphone at a karaoke venue, state media reports.

Police in Sandakan on Borneo island said that 23-year-old Abdul Sani Doli was believed to have angered other patrons by singing one tune after another, and refusing to hand over the microphone.

A row broke out with three men at the next table, escalating into a fist fight outside the karaoke joint, Sandakan police chief Rosli Mohd Isa said, according to the official Bernama news agency.

Abdul Sani was stabbed in the chest and died, and two men have been arrested in connection with the murder, it said.
