Baby suffocates to death while in bed with parents



A one-month old baby girl suffocated while sleeping on the same bed as her parents. After feeding her at around 1am, they went to sleep. One of the parents woke up at about 4am and was shocked to find that the baby was not breathing and had turned purple.

The baby was pronounced dead at the hospital. Police are still investigating whether she was suffocated by the pillows, blanket or her parents.

Some foreigners actually stop letting their kids sleep with them from young. Their aim is to let them to learn to be independent from a young age. So, even if the baby was just one-month old, they will let the baby sleep in one room by him/herself. My point is that, this way, not only it avoids incident like this, the kid will also learn not to be too dependent on his/her parents.

Foetus removed from baby's abdomen



In India, a team of doctors conducted a critical surgery today and removed a foetus from a year and two month old baby. The baby was admitted to the hospital few days ago with acute pain in her lower abdomen.

An ultra-scan was done and a foetus in the form of a tumour was found in her abdomen. Doctor said that two foetus have been developed but one of them accidentally went inside the abdomen of the other. Doctors also claimed that this is a rare case as one in every 15,ooo patients develop such tumour in their abdomen.

In my opinion, i find this article quite interesting. I have never seen or heard any news about a year and two month old baby carrying another "twin" inside his/her abdomen. I'm curious how exactly did the foetus went it to the other. Thankfully, after the surgery, the one year and two month old baby was alright. As for the foetus, it's somehow predictable that he/she can't survive.

Malaysian's cop proposal



A traffic police officer was arrested for sexual harassment in Kuala Lumpur after two women accused him of making indecent proposals in return for not booking them for speeding. The women, who drove separately claimed the cop had stopped them at a roadblock and accused them of speeding.

One of them claimed the cop told her to remove her blouse while the other was allegedly asked to show her "nice legs". Both were told that if they followed the cop's request, they would not be fined for speeding. They were shocked and even thought they misheard him. After that, they then went to lodge a report.

Previously, i've heard rumours about malaysian police, that if you were fined for speeding, you could easily get away with it by bribing them. This is definitely not good because they are not taking the law seriously. Also, this is abusing of power and i hope this case will be handled properly.

Medium - Despicable

In malaysia, the press reported that a 16-year-old girl was molested when her mother took her to seek help to chase away a "spirit" that was disturbing the girl. The medium asked the girl to remove all her clothes and lie down naked on a carpet in a room alone. He then molested her and even took some photos of her.

Not only that, he even asked the girl if she wanted to have sexual intercourse to chase away the "spirit" which was disturbing her. The girl then told her boyfriend and family about the incident, her boyfriend and his friend confronted the medium and beat him up.

This incident might haunt the girl for many years or even a lifetime. To me, i think that the so called medium, might be a con man. From the way he acts, he wasn't helping to solve the problem, instead he's taking advantage of the 16-year-old girl. He should be punished severely even though no one was physically hurt in this incident.

Malaysian jailed for threesome with minor



A young malaysian man living in Singapore, who had threesome sex with his fiancee and a 14-year-old girl, was jailed for seven months for carnal connection with a girl under 16.

The mother of the 14-year-old girl rented the flat for her, as she could not get along with her new family. Assistant Public Prosecutor said that the 14-year-old girl actually agreed to have threesome sex when the malaysian man, Kwek suggested it. "Kwek even had sex with the girl when they were alone at home.

I feel that the malaysian guy is too much, overly desperate. Even if he wants to satisfy his needs, he don't have to pull a young girl in, which ruin her future, her life. Also, the girl is making a huge mistake if she really did agree to have threesome sex. She will regret this decision she made.

How to improve school sports safety?



Throughout all the years, many students suffered injuries ranging from concussion to fractures and they were usually caused by two things - negligence on their part or extreme aggression on the opponent's.

A common root to these factors can be traced - the coach. The coach has to ensure the athletes fully understand the repercussions of neglecting safety. Athletes are constantly told to push their limits and the desire to win sometimes overrules common sense.

A Coach does not just teach the techniques of a sport, he should also teach them to control themselves when competing hard and when they should or should not push their limits.

I myself have friends in class whom were injured due to playing of sports. Somehow it's true that the coach plays a part in determining all this. He should teach them to respect the sport as well as the opponent. In sports, winning is not really everything, most importantly is the process of it.

Tour to help ease maid in




Around thirty foreign domestic workers were given a tour of a few historical and cultural sites in Singapore yesterday as part of a new programme to help them feel more at home in the country.
They went to places like Singapore river, Merlion Park, Chinatown and the Kampong Glam Heritage Village. For many of them, it was their first glimpse of Singapore's founder Sir Stamford Raffles - not to mention, the river.

Earlier in the morning, they had learnt about Singapore's various festivals and received quick mandarin lesson of common terms and greetings.

I think that this programme is effective and definitely benefits the domestic workers. It not only makes them feel more at home, but also helps them to communicate better with employers in future.
