Y
I frequent yahoo news pretty often, almost everyday. Then i chanced
upon this short article which summarises a series of unfortunate
happenings in Year 2008. I rmb discussing this with yihan a few days
back but reading it seems to have a greater impact. Overall, i guess
many would agree with me that this year has been a really bad year.
Firstly, we have the security lapses involving the escape of Mas Selemat
etc which created many controversies among the public at large.
Secondly, we have the financial crisis hitting every other country and we
are not spared either. In fact, this will be brought over to the next few
years even. Bad. Thirdly, the Mumbai attack which took away many
lives, including one of our fellow Singaporeans. Then, we have so many
cases of servicemen's deaths one after another.
Sad to say, these are jus some of the greater issues in our home
country. Not including Sichuan earthquake, other political unrests
involving Thailand & Tibet-China etc.
All in all, i hope the upcoming 2009 will be a better year for everyone.
More hopes, lesser tragedies.
