An eventful day due to the following news headlines?
1. Kathmandu Nepal Earthquake Updates: as the death toll supposedly will surpass 10,000, the Nepalese government is asking foreign rescue teams to STOP coming as it has enough help and its airport could not handle any more planes!
2. Baltimore riot quiet down as 'curfew' took effect and the 'hero mum' dragging her rioting son OFF the street by force! A pity 'race issue' is STILL an issue in the supposedly most advance and only super power of the world, the USA, after all these years!!
3. Indonesia executed 7 foreign drug convicts and straining relationship with Australia big time! While some of the convicts were on the death roll for many years and could have totally turn-over a new leaf, it was unfortunate that the death sentence has to be carried out as the crimes them fit the bill of destroying lives who might be ruined when they get hooked on drugs along with the lives of their families in some cases! I am in two minds now on this death sentence though the Indonesian government has to be respected for carrying out their law.
Maybe next time one should just carried out the death sentence sooner rather than later??? Or maybe death sentence should only for cold blooded murderers??
4. Pest infested neighbours and other 'neighbours from hell'! First the Eunos flat with swarming cockroaches. Then, the neighbour who 'rain' on neighbours' flats for hours. And the 'unending banging' neighbours! WHAT HAPPENED people?! It is SIMPLY unimaginable that such neighbours are TOLERATED. I hope the laws now ALLOWED HDB and relevant authorities to access such neighbours and mandatory provide medical and psychiatric help to such neighbours as their behaviours CANNOT be that of 'normal sound mental mind' people!
5. If I may throw in 1 more interesting story to close the night: The dance between Obama and Abe on how to 'balance' the influence of the rising China is fun to watch! It shows again HOW difficult it is to deal with China. Just like how Putin's Russia is behaving in East Ukraine, when someone of a certain size decided to NOT be cooperative, things can get really messy internationally. Will the Japan-USA joint effort be effective? Only if the Chinese want to play ball!
We live in interesting time indeed!
