Home Section page B3 PM's 4 BASIC RULES FOR RELIGIOUS HARMONY
b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
2) Do you respect other religions? Why or why not?
What do you think of children who stay away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?
Ans 1a) tolerating each other’s differences and not discriminate each other’s religion due to one’s thought of another’s religion’s practices is taboo. Secondly, separating religion and politics so that proper justice can be delivered in this society without any religious interference in this advancing society where there would be lesser people expected to follow the olden ways. Thirdly, the laws of justice must be open to all for everyone to decide. But, moral values must be uphold, everyone must give go ahead for each other’s opinion regardless of one’s religion so as to achieve a better “law” which everyone does not feel that it is prejudice to one or more religions. Lastly, out justice system must include laws that satisfy the requirements of the religion without having them to perform similar actions that are not violating their religion sets of ways. For example , Muslims eat halal food while Hindus are forbidden to eat beef, Buddhist are only permitted to eat vegetables. We could offer them the food of their choice while not requesting them to eat the same food.
1b)we could encourage others to join in conversations between other races to promote relationship between them or we could organize them to work together.
2) I always try to respect other’s religion as I believe that our relationship should not affected by our religion ways or anything related to it that is consider taboo to others. For instance, a child that stays away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion should not be criticized as everyone has their own differences and should respect one another if they wish to receive it from others. By the way, visiting parent’s funeral is also a religion act so why not accept each other’s action? They are not harming others or being malicious.

b) Which other countries already have such doors installed at train stations?
2) What is your opinion of commuters on trains who disregard the rules (no eating/drinking, give up seats for the elderly/ the disabled/ pregnant women etc.) on the train?
1a) to keep passengers away from the train tracks and the platform doors opening when the trains halting when they are at the station would help prevent anyone from plunging into it be it accident or for stupid reasons like suicide.
b) Paris and Taipei are also countries that are safety conscience about accidents or cases related to people falling into the rails and getting rammed by speedy trains or getting rescued by bystanders or the station staffs.
2) My opinion of commuters is that they are stupid, idiotic or shy. Firstly, we all know that Singaporeans are renowned for their so-called lineage of selfishness and ego; therefore they always have thoughts of being superior or being soft by giving up on their seats. Why would they compare them with their selves when they have a huge age margin? Isn’t that stupid and also giving up your seat doesn’t kill and your friends would probably have a greater impression on you, if they tease you, then they are stupid, if they think they are weak if they help out weak people, then stop being friends with them, they are the one who will probably lead you astray as this kind of behaviour is most favoured among pigs like hooligans and gangsters who think that to expressed one’s manly hood is to shun or lookdown upon weaklings. Then let me ask you what do you get out of that kind of manly hood? You would probably start doing even more atrocious things to express that you are superior in it and in the end police would offer you a trip to their station and a free package of being detained in their station and summoned to the court afterwards. For those who eat in the train for ridiculous reasons like “I think its fun to flout the laws” or “I want to eat anytime it want”, then you are like an idiot, thinking that asking for trouble is a fantasy or entertainment. If you really want to eat so much then who not have to police there to give you a serving of fine? I bet the food serving isn’t enough to keep you going for a day? Oh I almost forgot that fine is very hazardous to you like unhealthy food. For married couples, your husband or wife will be like a time bomb when she or he heard about the “fantastic” words on a letter that says your fined! I bet she would “explode” when you reach home and fallout with you, by then you would have to explain till your throats dry. For most the fine is painstaking to pay, you would probably end up in tears when you as a children/teen/adult have to fork out your pocket money or part of your salary to pay it; wow that’s an expensive cuisine on the train!!!

Elderly Falling Prey to 'Volunteer' Ruse (trick)
1a) What is the modus operandi (method of operating) of the con artists?
b) What are the Lion Befrienders planning to do to ensure the old folks do not get conned again?
2) Do you like doing social work? Why or why not?
Ans 1a) they would identify themselves as volunteers of welfare organization on a project to spruce up elderly homes. Then they would help themselves to their cash.
b) they alerted those under them and started impersonating volunteers.
2)bleah!! What hell!!! is some of what is in inpatient,inconsiderate people who thinks social work is easy and rewarding in terms of reputation.for me, I would certainly make an effort not to be involved in social work. Firstly, it’s too time costly and I would probably spend a hell lot of time making an effort to help others. Secondly, not all the people I work with are all gentle and civilized, some would probably hurl vulgarities at you for even committing a meager mistake while others try to chase you away, worst still! Some might turn aggressive and you might end up in the police station wasting hours trying to explain what happened. Thirdly, I am not an active person and would most probably collapse in exhaustion after an hour’s work and in the end I might cause the social service team to waste even more time by giving aid to me which during that time, they would have already finish helping a horde of needy people already, so why waste time for a person who’s as frail as an old man .lastly, I hated social work because of the dirt treatment I have to do. I stink to high heavens when you even smell at it, and touching the squishy dirt or worst still poop for elderly who are senile and did their business everywhere!!!! Who wouldn’t prefer to be the elderly instead of the social worker who have to face his or hers poor fate of washing and disposing it?

A Deadly Business
1a) What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article?
b) Why are Singaporeans increasingly being used as "drug mules"?
2) What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs? How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?
Ans.1a) the worrying matters are that people, youngsters and adults, are increasingly getting involved in the drug trade.
1b) that is because everyone knows that Singapore is particularly a pain in the ass for drug traffickers. Therefore they neglected safety measures against Singaporeans as we all know everyone would prefer troublesome things done fast or even not doing it at all, by not zapping idiotic Singaporeans who are really dumb enough to traffic drugs , we help save time and minimize the hassle for other foreigners coming to countries for vacations, giving them a much pleasant trip.
2) If my friend is peddling drugs, I would warn him or her to stop as we all know drug dealing is against the law and by getting involve means getting yourself in hot soup as police are always hounding onto drug distributor, therefore, selling drugs also means screwing with the law which can lead to fatal consequences. Speaking of consequences, you must be interested for what is packed for you when you are involved, that entitles you to being jailed for idiotic adults who thinks of easy cash instead of consequences, or a round of reformation at the reformatory for juveniles that think of either easy cash or maidens to assault them when they finish dealing with drugs and become more “cool”. As a bonus death for “adults only” , if they traded too much drugs and the law thinks they should be given more of what they deserve.

Hawkers fall prey to brazen break-ins.
1a) Why is it easy for burglers to break into stalls at the two markets in the Kallang area?
b) What is the Geylang East Central Merchants' Association going to do about the break-ins?
2. What do you think should be done to tighten the security of the markets? What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?
1a) the reasons why burglars effortlessly broke into stalls at the two markets is due to the unwillingness to install grilles that cost a hellish amount.
1b) the geylang east central Merchant association’s response is allowing the hawkers to “fortify” their stores with a more reasonable amount of $16 rather than prices that would end up having the victims cursing the thieves and going through the incontinences of reporting the thefts and waiting for a month to have justice serve for them (the police is usually preoccupied by crucial cases and murders that they would only investigate when they are bored)
2) Maybe we should install surveillance cameras over hawker centers on dark areas so as to give the thieves a surprise when they are surprisingly arrested for theft ,miserably watch through the surveillance tape showing how dumb and idiotic they are to commit thefts before being cuffed and sent to the court ,convicted, and sent behind bars to go through the horrifying process of deprived of freedom, love, and getting beaten up by jail mates and humiliated by them. Actually I think of the burglars as a pitiful person, Now don’t laugh at me, here’s the reasons…firstly, the burglars are usually jobless or poor people who cant cope with the financially burden and have to resort to stealing as a form of fast income as we all know many have lost their jobs during the recession and financial downturn. secondly, the some brainless juveniles thinks that it is “cool” to steal,let me ask you what is this “cool” anyway? Is it edible, beneficial or is it just a human evolution error that makes us think this way? This so called “cool” is the reason for the genuine” cool” of going to jail and getting screwed and getting crapped up!. The ridiculously stupid “cool” should be maintained to a lower level instead of unleashing it in a retarded way that would end up giving you a free ticket to the jail , you can buy a bag and so fore to make you “cool” but not looking down on others is also a great way to maintain the “cool” at a certain level too.

3 Cheers for the Team
- (a) Why is cheerleading an expensive sport?
(b) What makes cheerleading such a tough sport?
- What is your opinion of cheerleaders? If given a chance, would you join cheerleading? Why/ why not?
Ans1 (a)the reason why cheerleading is an expensive sport is due to the expensive clothing , hair dressing products, pom-poms, gymnastic classes and workshop, medical insurance(especially for those who are a klutz),nutritional supplements ,shoes ,and training mats. The main purpose of cheer leading is to motivate the cheer leader’s team in the competition in order to make sure that they do not lose confidence or go to “panic mode”, and therefore exquisite clothing and hair products(especially the tailored costume which cost a bomb to make as having outdate costumes make your school out while others are in) is essential because no one likes cheerleaders dressing simply as instead of being motivated they lose morale rapidly and get distracted, in the end, they just increase their vulnerabilities, screwing up everything in the competition. Medical insurance cost a painful amount to purchase and maintain especially for those who perform like clowns and always being a klutz. Instead of being a benefit for the school the clumsy personals of some cheerleaders they make it painful for others and themselves by performing mistakes and injuring others by accident, in the end, the school pays more than what they get. the shoes and tights(maybe not imported) of the cheerleaders are expensive in terms of price as they are imported from
1(b)”Gaah! I hates it!!!,this is soo harsh!!!, what the hell is this!!” are the speeches most probably heard from new students who wants to obtain fame from cheerleading but forgot or did not reconsider the harsh training they are going to battle against when they join cheer leading.Cheer leading itself is a physical taxing activity as most would probably get bruises and wounds at first try, or worst! Concussions,head injuries temporary memory lost ,fractures you name it.In the end everyone looked pathetic on the outside by that time can you still get your so called “fame”?
2) Bleah!! No thank you! I don’t wish to join such a CCA that jeopardizes my health during practices, if I remain there for a sometime, I would most probably end up as a nut case due to all the stress and nervousness. There are other reasons for my uncanny hate for cheerleading. Firstly cheerleaders serve more of a distraction than a morale retainer as male competitors would most probably be gazing at them during the competition, thinking of how pretty they are. secondly the expenses for cheerleading is atrocious as even a training mat cost $50 a piece, and most probably i could not afford them or even want to part with my allowance for it.thirdly, im not an active person and would probably faint during the practices,further more I wouldn’t want to get myself into the hospital because of an accident.

Businesses are still big on doing good
What are big companies doing in order to be more socially responsible?
One of the companies, SingTel, plans to carbon emission and reduce paper wastage as they do not want their company to contribute to global warming and also, they wish to cut down business cost. International company, Mc Donald’s has come to a decision whereby, the company will not purchase cattle meat or any food from rainforest or recently deforested rainforests as they do not want to endanger the animals there , as if mc Donald’s wish to buy food there, more animals would be killed.
Question 2
How important it is to be socially responsible? And do you think it is still possible to make a social impact during the recession?
A socially responsible company would not conduct activities that would led to the harming of populations in the area of its operation.it also helps the company earn more profits, more successes , sustainable supply chain, environment , community and other internal and external company factors.
