1. Let's start with something good - the good news that research showed that EARLY intervention and learning how to interact with children with autism can significantly improve the children's conditions.
It is almost a no-brainer since the parents are the closest people the kids have though some parents may be ill-prepared to deal with an autistic child. So, this result is good so that parents who have autistic kids can get special education, counselling, supports and help to learn to interact more effectively and less stressful!
May the kids and the parents continue to get better and better!
2. PM Lee's interview with TIME Magazine
Was a bit concerned that he may again 'mentions things that antagonized PRC'. I thought: 'there he goes again'. Thankfully he did not, at least not in the short headlines shown in the CNA website.
He stated a few obvious:
a. US-Sino 'cold war' is different from that old 'US-Soviet' cold war. There were not much trades and economic ties. And these days, money talk! Which also means that IF they DO go crazy and 'go to war', the impact will be much more severe! Any country that cannot be 'self-sufficient' will suffer and hurt BAD!! Singapore is one of these vulnerable countries!;
b. TPP will NOT be ratified. And the USA will lose its credibility! Seriously, USA still has credibility in the world? Nah. USA has lost the credibility to be perceived as 'try to be as fair as practicable while pursuing USA's interest 1st' stance long ago! It cannot even get its RACE Relationship right after 2-term of the 1st Black African American!! Also, the TPP is really a place to create more cushy jobs for retired politicians and bureaucrats as there are already WTO, APEC, NAFTA, etc. etc. Why do we need TPP?
Yes. We live in a dangerous world where the economic growth is 'supported' by printing money liberally. USA owns China a lot of money government-to-government, China has lots of internal debts of provincial government, Japan had been printing money to 'spur' consumptions, EU happily printing money to 'salvage' Greece's bankruptcy!
