Of Tsunami Repercussion
Fish are friend not our food.
Nemo would have been really happy. There is a sudden dip in seafood consumption for fears that the fishes and Crabs might have eaten the bodies of the Tsunami victims.Fishes and crabs eat almost anything there's no way of telling what they could have eaten. The real concern here is that the fishes eat the debris washed down from the waves and become toxic to people. IMOH, I don't really care, as long as I don't know and it's not hazardous to health, I'll still consume seafood. Besides all the seafood that come to Singapore have passed a certain health test. I wouldn't be worried about it. DIE NEMO!
Are you kidding me? The picture looks fake. This must be some sort of religous propoganda. The mosque is so small yet the trees are so big.The shadows don't even look right. Even if this picture is real, it reflects badly on the mosque. Having the funds to be able to build such a solid structure while the rest of the houses get washed away, is just wrong.
Donor Fatigue
Due to the massive surge of donations to the tsunami victims, $SG30 million to date, to red cross and other organizations like YMCA and some high profiled churches. Charity organisations like renci who need $6 million worth of public funds annually will be holding their charity show to ask for donations from the public will certainly encounter difficulties in getting donations.
Are the money going to good use?
There have been fears that the huge influx of money will be siphoned off by corrupt officals, especially in Indonesia where corruption is like drinking water. Officals have been known to be bribed to hasten the recue work. There is no way to know for sure. except through the promises of authority figures of world alliance of the YMCAs, International Committee of the rEd cross who said they will draw up proposals and budgets to minimise corruption. Corruption cannot be stopped. As long as there are people, as long as there is Greed it will continue to perpetuate. We can only have faith that the money donated are in good hands putting to good use.
Orphans
15 million children are made orphans due to the Tsunami. That's 15 million more children growing up without the love of their parents.
US bashing.
Critics will not miss a chance to bash the superpower given the opportunity. They've done it at the Iraq war, they've done it at the elections. They've done it again!Accusing the US of not giving enuff aid at first, then accusing them of trying to take over the aid operation. It's a lose lose situation for them. ah wateva.
Ethnic/religious Discrimination
Stories non-religious people seeking help at some of the hospitals have been asked to recite Muslims chants or been asked to convert to christian before they can recieve treatment. Some of the Indonesian also refuse to help bury the Indonesian chinese victims in the diaster area. I hope this is just a few isolated cases. In times of disaster people should put aside their differences and help each other.
The seven year itch?
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have Split.Split as in the operative word here, not divorce. Technically they're still married to each other just that they're not gonna enjoy each other's body anymore, or maybe they have never enjoyed each other before. Brad wants a child but Jennifer is unwilling. Maybe that's what broke them up. Brad's not getting any. Okay this is not a tsunami effect, but this couple looks good together and it hurts me to see them split. No, who am I kidding, seriously I do not give a hoot's ass about them. But I do think Aniston is incredibly cute and Brat sucks as an arrogant Archilles whose death by Paris's arrow was underemphasize in the movie, doing much injustice to the legend. They've been together for seven years and married for four and a half. Could it be a seven year itch? Maybe.
