Read more about him here.
Summary:
Serge Amisi is teenager who was forced to become a child soldier and to fight in wars. He was a puppet, fighting for a war he did not know why. When he stopped being a solider, he was initially lost and could not fit into civilian life until he found his talent as an artist. At the age of 25 now, he uses puppets to dance, makes sculptures and writes.
Opinion:
I believe Serge Amisi is a really amazing. At the age of maybe 10, he was taken away from his family, was taught of the discipline of being a soldier and fought in wars. A normal child would not go through this and if it were a normal child, I think that child would have already faded away from society and would be unable to merge with civilian life. However Serge Amisi was resilient and found his passion and talents, allowing him to interact and merge with society. I hope everyone would follow him and find what they do best at and make the best of it.

Rage, Rap and Revolution: Inside the Arab Youth Quake
Identify the aim and method of the Arab Spring protesters
The aims of the Arab Spring protesters are to show their fury ,due to the hardship and maltreatment that they are receiving, to the leaders of the country.Protesters' primary aim goal is democracy.They use advanced ways such as the internet and Facebook.This enables them to spread the awareness of Arab Spring and its corrupted leaders to the world and gain support from the world.
Do you think that the Arab Youth were right in taking to the streets to ask for change?
Yes. The Arab Youth spreading the news of revolution and their corrupted government through advanced tools such as the internet enabled them to gain more support from the world. I feel that without the Arab Youths’ actions, the people’s disappointment would not have been shown and with them taking this matter to the streets, the changes that the governments was possible.
More families having reunion dinner at hawker centres
Read more here!
Summary:
With the Chinese Lunar New Year coming up in a few weeks, many Singaporeans have turned to alternative venues to celebrate their reunion dinner. Reunion dinner has always been celebrated either at home or at restaurants, the new addition is the hawker centres. Many Singaporeans feel uncomfortable to celebrate in a restaurant as they feel pressurized and are unable to enjoy themselves. Thus have decided to go for the hawker centres instead of the hassle of cooking and cleaning up dishes at home. Hawker centres have a variety of food with wide choices that people need not follow like in a restaurant, and can have free choices. It is also more affordable than restaurants and Singaporeans can easily get their favourite dishes. Hawker centre stalls are earning more due to people ordering dishes from them.
Opinion:
I feel that it is a fresh idea to celebrate the reunion dinner in a hawker centre. With the wide variety of local dishes and prices that no one can complain about unlike in a restaurant, I would definitely like to try having it in a hawker centre. However, celebrating such an important dinner in a place filled with strangers would be uncomfortable too. Like one of the interviewed Singaporeans, I do not feel the same comfort and enjoyment celebrating outside. I would prefer to celebrate at my Grandmother's house as everyone gets to come together to enjoy her cooking and clean up as a family. This is what I believe reunion dinner is about.

News Article:Singaporeans attacked by rampaging bull in Ipoh
Link to news articles
Summary:
Nine Singaporeans were attacked by a bull in Ipoh. It escaped from its enclosure and charged towards the tourists, who were eating at a stall on Jalan Raja Musa Aziz, at around 4p.m.. Four tourists suffered from injuries like lacerations and bruises. The victims were sent to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital emergency unit at around 6 p.m.. This incident turned their pleasent vacation into a bad experience. The bull charged towards Jalan Yau Tet Shin after the attack, and then on to Jalan Sultan Iskandar with policemen and Civil Defence Department officers chasing it. It was finally caught when it entered the Elim Gospel Hall compound.
Opinion:
In my opinion, such incident could be prevented if there was someone to keep a close eye out on the bull. The Singaporeans could also stay calm when the bull charged towards them to prevent the bull from attacking them. Animals like bulls have became harder and harder to control and more agressive as learnt from the incident. I also felt sorry for the nine Singaporeans especially the four injured ones.

(SAMPLE) DESIGNER BABIES BY MRS TEOH
Link to Designer Babies
SUMMARY : In the UK, a family who had seen generations of their women die of breast cancer was given the chance to change all that with a scientific process called PGD. Normally women who have this cancer gene undergo a double mastectomy. However the revolutionary PGD process allows for screening and removal of the defective gene. Several embryos from the couple were genetically tested and the ones without the breast cancer gene were kept refrigerated for incubation whenever a new family member was desired. Doctors explain it is not a cancer cure and does not suit every couple.
OPINION: In my opinion science has advanced so much that we are now able to determine the future of our children to give them a brighter future. Without the once inheritable diseases like Muscular Dystrophy – which Stephen Hawking suffered from - mankind can then live in an age of better health. This benefit will reduce tremendous health costs and allow the money saved to be channelled to other needs. Without debilitating diseases, there will be less suffering within families. Children who have been set free from the legacy of a fatal illness will be able to live a full life and contribute significantly to society. All in all, society benefits from such an advancement.
