Girl raped by wushu master

 A father of two has been charged with seven sexual offences, including three for statutory rape and four for indecent acts, with a then 13-year-old girl in 2007. Some of the details include how the two would address each other as "Lao Gong" and "Lao Po" which means "husband" and "wife" in Chinese. A week after she agreed to be his girlfriend, he allegedly drove her to a beach where he hugged and kissed her. In March 2007, he drove her to a quiet spot in Changi, where they had sex for the first time.

After reading the article, i felt really disgusted by the man's action. Wushu, like martial arts, requires high level of self-discipline. How can a man who is married with 2 children, still have the cheek to ask a 13-year-old girl to be his girlfriend? I certainly believe he had the evil intention in mind. Furthermore, by having sex with more than one partner would also increase the risk of spreading STDs to his wife. I personally believed he should be jailed for life. He actually went on bed with a 13-year-old girl, who is actually old enough to be his daughter.

Nevertheless, the girl is not innocent as well. According to ST, she was already sexually active at the age of 12 with another 3 boys. I really wonder why these teenage girls behave like this these days? Do they even know what they are exactly doing? They would only be ruining their own future.

Lastly, i hope to see the heaviest sentence impose on this man to serve as a warning to others.

Passer-by catches snatch thief

A SNATCH-AND-RUN robbery attempt by a 29-year-old man was foiled by a member of the public on Tuesday.

The suspect accosted a 34-year-old woman sitting at a void deck of Block 76A, Redhill Road at about 10.50pm and tried to snatch her handbag. He was unable to pry the handbag from her and fled when she yelled for help. The victim's shouts attracted the attention of 29-year-old Mohamed Rozali. Mr Rozali chased the suspect and eventually managed to detain him in the vicinity of Block 77, Redhill Road. The suspect was subsequently handed over to the police and will be charged in court on Thursday.

After reading the article, i felt that 29-year-old Mohamed Rozali's action is really brave. After hearing the victim's shouts, Mr Rozali chased the suspect and eventually managed to detain him. His heroic act should no doubt be complimented. I certainly believe in this modern society that we are living in, we should all lend a helping hand to whoever is in need. As a passer-by, we should not hesitate to assist the victim. For example, we should call the police immediately whenever we encounter such a situation.

Furthermore, there had been an increasing number of theft related cases in Singapore. It is our responsibility to take care of our belongings at all times. Also, we should not leave our bag unattended while eating or having a drink in a café or restaurant. 

Lastly, i felt that Mr Rozali is a good role model and we should all learn from him.

Can't quit smoking? Listen to what this adorable girl has to say

STOMPer David claims that he literally stopped smoking after watching this little girl sing her 'quit smoking' song online. The STOMPer said he stopped smoking in two months.

After reading the article, i felt the little girl's clip is really meaningful and useful. I believe it would certainly be a different approach by having a child's encouragement to help quit smoking compared to parents, teachers, friends etc. MOH should use this clip to encourage young parents to quit smoking, make them think about their child's future and hence quit the habit. 

 In my point of view, having to suffer and die of smoking-related is just not worth it. Smoking causes various health problems. For example, lung cancer. Smokers are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer. Furthermore, it is proven that 90% of all lung cancer cases in Singaporean males occur among smokers.

I believe we would not want to see our family and friends around us smoking, leading to health problems. Hence, we should all do our part in helping them overcome this habit. Also, I hope that the little girl's dad will quit smoking successfully

Lastly, we should all do our best towards achieving the goal of a smoke-free society!
