~News And Opinions~ (Week 2)

Ello~! Welcome to My Blog~
Hope that you will comment after reading~XP

White Rabbit Candy Back On Shelves HERE!
Summary:
The Rabbit has bounced back. And it's two rabbits now.
White Rabbit Creamy Candy is back on Singapore shelves. It is now joined by Golden Rabbit Creamy Candy, the only thing different is the wrapper- shiny, blue-and-gold. You can get the white rabbit candy at any provision shops from June 1. They will be stocked in major supermarkets soon. The White Rabbit candy is made with milk from either Australia or New Zealand. The original Shanghai-made milk candy was yanked off shelves last September after traces of melamine were detected. Besides the candy, well-known Malaysian biscuit brand Julie's has made a reapperance since the melamine scare.
Done The Summary Now For The Opinion (:
Opinions:
I think that now the new and improved version of the white rabbit creamy candy is more reliable and is okay' to be comsumed as melamine is not found in the white rabbit creamy candy as the milk is either made from Australia or New Zealand which does not contain melamine. I think that melamine should never be found in sweet, candies , biscuits or even other food that we consume as if we consume some melamine-which is usually used for making plastics or glue- it will cause some problems such as kidney stones, leading to kidney failure if allowed to accumulate in the body over time.
Done~ Hope you will C0mment~(:

~News And Opinions~ (Week 1)

Hey EveryOne~ Welcome to my Bl0g!! Please Comment after you have read finish...
Elder Abuse Cases 'May Rise With The Recession'
Summary:
Elder Abuse cases are rising with the recessions. Most common are physical abuse and neglect; financial abuse are also on the rise. In the downturn, some struggling couples with young children might neglect the needs of elderly family members, including their medical and basic needs. Last year, 145 reported elder abuse case, down from 168 in 2007. "When people are under pressure and financially strapped, there is a higher chance that they will neglect the elderly..." Ms Helen Ko, executive director of the Centre For Seniors said. The Government sees
three reasons for the elder abuse. First, some adults children are unwilling to look after their aged parents because they claim, the latter had been negligent parents."They saw their own actions now as retribution." Second, there are adult children or relatives with addiction problem such as drugs, gambling and alcohol. They may turn violent and take it out on the elderly. Finally, caregiver stress may lead to elder abuse. These caregivers have trouble coping with the elderly, who are often with medical conditions, and in frustration, turn violent.

Now For the Opinions:
I think that it is very WRONG to abuse the elderly as it is immoral and wrong! We should watch our ACTions as later on in your life your children Might do the same thing to you and that is called 'RETRIBUTION'!!! We should all care for the elderly and be filial to them. I think we should also build good and long lasting relationship within the family and so it will prevent the abusing of the elderly to rise. I think that the Government should also educate the public and to alert those caregivers. Another thing that I think that is with more education, we will be smarter and we will care more for the elderly- in some ways...

South Korea Stunned By Ex-Leader's Suicide...(Summary and Opinions)

Summary:
Former president Roh Moo Hyun had jumped to his death in the mountains near his rural home.
The Death could have political repercussions, possibly strengthening opposition to the current administration."I can't imagine the countless agonies down the road.Too Many people suffered because of me, the rest of my life would only be a burden for others."Extracts From a Suicide Note in former president Roh Moo Hyun's Computer.
After Leaving his family a suicide note, Mr Roh, 62, threw himself off a cliff known to locals as Owl's Rock while on a morning hike, police and former Chief of staff Moon Jae In said.Halfway up the 100metre cliff, Mr Roh made his death leap after distracting his security guard.
Mr Roh died from Massive head injuries.His apparent suicide-the first in South Korea by an ex-president-stunned the nation.
President Lee Myung Bak said yesterday that the news was "truly hard to believe" and called the predecessor's death "sad and tragic".The manner of Mr Roh 's death could hurt Mr Lee and deepen the left-right divide in the country, some analysts fear of.
Yesterday, hundreds of Mr Roh's supporters and lawmakers of the main opposition Democratic
Party denounced prosecutors for what they called an "unreasonable and indiscriminate" investigation into the Roh family.

Opinions:
In my point of view,I think that commiting suicide will not solve problems and if we have any problems or difficulty we should approach an adult or parents or even teachers for help...Mr Roh
maybe is in a very stressful state and had no choice or people to turn to for help, but to commit
suicide.There are some other way to reduce stress...Some examples are..to get more rest or sleep.....

News And Opinions...

1.In 2009, charities are bracing themselves for the worst year, 2009. Corporate funding dip into
the last quarter of 2008. The red cross says they would be expecting the donation to fall by at least 20 percent in 2009.The Singapore Red Cross raised S$180,000 late February this year-2008.The Red Cross' annual operation costs up to about S$6Million, S$3.5 Million is coming from the government.

Opinions:
I think lesser people will donate money to the charities as the Singapore Kidney Foundation chairman Richard Yong was found laundering money.I would like to donate money to the charities if they are honest not laundering the money.

2.Singapore Flyer stopped spinning in the afternoon.It stopped for about 7Hours.7People were rescued out from the cabin.It has been the second time the flyer stopped spinning.The
first time was at July.143People were struck in the flyer.Some tourists were struck in the flyer and missed the flight and had to take the other flight.Some tourists or locals were
hungry and tired, some even pass out their waste in the cabin.On that day, there's a wedding
going on at the flyer and they said they are very lucky they did not went in the flyer and got
struck.

Opinions:
I think that I were very lucky not to be struck up there in the flyer and had go hungry for several hours and had to bear with the smelly smell of the waste in the cabin.I felt so lucky!
But if I were up there I would enjoy the nice view from the top of the flyer.But I would also said for a refund.

News and Opinions...

1.The number of litterbugs caught has rise since the last two years.Over the 1050 offenders, 60 percent of the offenders are young people ages of 20 to 30 years old.In 2006, only 122 offenders were issued with the CWOs.S$37Million of taxpayers' money is spent each year for cleaning services on the streets.

Opinions:
I think they should not litter as it will make the environment very dirty, and the government will have to waste millions of money to hire cleaners to clean up the roads and streets, therefore if the government needs more money to hire cleaners, renter fees for the shop will increase, the owner of the shop will increase the prices of the things they sell, it will affect all of us. We should always keep the environment clean and green.

2.The wife of Singapore National Kidney Foundation chairman,Richard Yong was sentenced
in court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to money washing in Hong Kong.66, Madam On's
case has been postponed to Friday as the Judge needs more time to look through the documents. Madam On had pleaded guilty for helping his husband transferring US S$2.6Million from their joint account.Madam On faces a maximum jail term of 10 years
and a fine.

Opinions:
I think we should earn money honestly not to wash money and not cheat people's hard earned money.I think that Madam On should have a longer jail term and have a heavy
fine for she had done something dishonest; laundering money of National Kidney Foundation.If I were one of the people who donated money to the NKF, I would not donate
to them anymore money.

News And Opinions...

1.Four were buried alive, while 2,000 were trapped in Kuala Lumpur Landslide.The tragedy comes five days short of the anniversary on 1993's landslide which killed 48 people in that same area where the landslide happened.Shaiful Khas, aged 20 was one oof the four people who died in the disaster.When Shaiful Khas was recovered from the rubble, he was holding on to a ringing cellphone.14 Bungalows were crushed by the landslide.

Opinions:
It was a tradedy that the landslide happened, and it happened at 4 a.m in the morning when most of the people /residents are asleep.Boulders blocked every access road near the top of Bukit Antarabangsa.The rescue workers had to push the boulders off the access road and had to cut bushes and use ropes to help residents walk to safety.Some people had to cross over a small tiny bridge over a hude monsoon drain to reach the main road.I think that deforestation over undevelop area and the recent rain may cause landslide.

2.SMRT Bus drives off with four years old girl's leg trapped in the door.The bus driver accidentally shut the door on the girl's left leg and drove off.The driver was unaware of the situation, and the bus continued to move on, until until her grandmother banged on the door to get his attention.The girl's grandmother,56 years old suffered from abrasions on her knees as she held on to his grand daughther, preventing her grand daughter from dragging along the road.
After a metre or so, the bus driver stopped the bus, but did not offered any help.

Opinions:
The bus driver was unaware of the situation, and when he is aware of it, he did not offered any help or to send them to the hospital.That shows that he is not responsible and is a irresponsible person.But the bus driver claims that he offered them help and ask them if they want to go to the hospital but was turned down.The girl's grandmother said that the bus driver is telling a different story, and did not even mentioned the word 'Ambulance'.The girl's mother,Madam Tan
Loo Peng said,"We are not looking for compensation as we can always pay the medical fees ourselves.We are angry over the fact that the bus driver was very irresponsible!"The bus driver was fired.

News And Opinions...

1.Anti government protests are still protesting in Bangkok's airport.There are more than 10,000 people stranded in Bangkok and can't take the flight back to their own countries as the airport is closed,the government has no choice but to send small vans to the city to bring the stranded tourists back to their country or send them to the another airport to take the other country's airport.

Opinions:
I think that we should not go to Bangkok as it's a very dangerous place.There are a lot of protestersprotesting in the Bangkok's airport, if we were unlucky we might get hurt or burnt,and if we were there, we would be stranded at Bangkok and had to wait for hours,queuing up for your turn to sit on the small van to go back to your own country.

2.Mumbai Terrorism attack.Mumbai 's two hotel has been attacked by terrorist.Both of the
hotel's attackers used bombs and machine guns.There are more than one hundred people died in the hotel.Ms Lo Hwei Yen,a lawyer lived in one of the hotel 17th floor.She was the first Singaporean to be shot died in the hotel and was being held hostage by the terrorists, the terrorist said that they will not kill women but to hold them hostage, but they break their promise when more policemen came to the hotel and surround them.The terrorists started shooting on the people who was held hostage(Most of the people held hostage were women).
Unfortunately,the terrorist shot just right throught Ms Lo Hwei Yen's head and fractured her skull.She was found died on the 10th floor.Luckily, some Singaporeans escaped from the hotel and arrived at the Singapore's airport safe and sound.

Option:
Mumbai(India)'s terrorist attack made many people afraid to go to Mumbai(India) for a holiday.
