Accused was "a tough, disciplined soldier."
THE STRAITS TIMES Monday June 19, 2006

I was shocked when I first saw the article. I couldn't believe my eyes that he was not at least remorseful when he killed his flatmates. Where did all his humanity go to. I thought killing one would traumatized him, but instead he continued doing it. What caught my eye was when he was being questioned in the police station, he did not muttered a word, no matter how hard the policemen tried to force things out, he remained calm and quiet.

Al-Qaeda "had plans to release poison in NY"

THE STRAITS TIMES Monday, June 19, 2006

Al-Qaeda has planned to release poisonous gas in New York shortly before the US-led invasion of Iraq. I feel that this world is getting more evil and dark. People are killing people because of some undefined discriminations and hatred. I felt that such things are childish and ridiculous as what can both parties gain? Nothing... All they get in return are blood, loss of lives, bloody scenes. The war that Al-Qaeda had started with US is never ending and it is going to affect the whole world, yet nothing can be done to salvage this matter.

Japan sends stern warning to North Korea

THE STRAITS TIMES Monday, June 19 2006

I feel that whatever North Korea is doing is wrong. Moreover I feel that they are being selfish as testing a Taepodong 2 missile might lead to adverse consequences. Although Japan warned North Korea that there would be a harsh response from them for their own benefit but I still feel that somehow Japan still value the safety of the world. The initial impetus was probably catch up with Iran in a pariah-state proliferators' bidding war for international favours, moreover North Korea sees that Iran has been more dangerously seductive of late. Hence they might want to compete in that perspective. In my honest opinion, I feel that united nation should act quickly regarding this matter as this might get out of hand.
