Didn’t she know the law at all? Must the law be bent to suit the rich? Didn’t she know that the Indonesian donor who received not a single cent but was sentenced to 2 weeks’ jail? I sympathized more with the Indonesian. What a world of difference- poor and helpless versus rich and powerful!

I don't need politicians to talk so much. Talk is cheap. Just walk the talk (eg gracious society, openness, etc). It hurts whenever I see this injustice. What to do?

He has end stage cancer too and was probably desperately at wits ends trying to make a living. Ah hell, that is Singapore - one country, 2 systems. Bet you in that case, there were no 50 family members, no Jannie Tay speaking up for that poor sod. buried deep within the straits times today - a man was jailed 7 months for opening an unlicenced massage parlour.

It would be too much to ask that of a teacher. However I think you'll agree with me there is an unspoken proverbial line. To be very honest, a teacher's dressing is the least of my concerns.

Peaceful and serene place to spend a day with the family. There's a Thai restaurant there - KHA, a bit on the pricey side though. It'll be nice to pack a picnic basket and lounge on the lawn. :) Beau
