Roh Moo-Hyum Ex-Korea President Suicide

Mr Roh jump off a high cliff early on Saturday while hiking, trailed by a security guard, near his home in Bongha. In his death note wrote 'too many people are suffering because of me."
'What's left for me for the rest of my life is just to be a burden to others,' his note said. 'Don't be too sad. Aren't life and death both part of nature? Don't feel sorry. Don't blame anybody. It's destiny.' He asked to be cremated, a small gravestone erected near his home.

Well on the Buddhist point of view i will says his suicide will bring more pain and suffering to his love ones.. If he were to stay alive and fight his way to allegations that he accepted US$6 million (S$8.65 million) in bribes from a businessman when he was the president of the South Korea... He could have clear himself.. and go back to his own life..

He should not just give on his life.... By him commit suicide he only loses his body but his guilt and sufferings will bring to his next life.. Birth is a gift from your previous Karma and we should treasure and make the best of it..

Lee Bee Wah , STTA & Lui Guodong SAGA...

I read about the saga of the STTA President and the former Singapore Table Tennis Head Coach..

This comes amid public debate over the association’s latest decision not to nominate former table tennis coach Liu Guodong for the Coach of the Year award.
Liu had led the Singapore women’s team to win a silver medal at last year’s Beijing Games, ending the republic’s 48-year Olympic medal drought.
Ms Lee said Liu’s integrity and professionalism was in question and this led to the decision not to nominate him for the award. The decision did not go down well with Liu, who is currently in China, and the public.

Following STTA’s refusal to nominate Liu for Coach of the Year honours and comments made by table tennis chief Lee Bee Wah (Also a MP) about Liu. Liu had returned to Singapore from China last Thursday to seek a meeting with his former employers. But unfortunately he only manage to meet the STTA’s honorary secretary Soon Min Sin and chief executive officer Chew Soo Sheng instead of Ms Lee Bee Wah..

If she is able to quote this comment on Liu.. she should stood out and face the public.. Come on Ms Lee Bee Wah.. You are a MP, a public figure.. Standout and face everyone.. How can you just make a comment and then keep quiet about it.. as if nothing happens.. Your comment does not means much to you but it does hurts someone.. As a MP you must always be mindful of your words and actions...

Here is the site for the petition to remove Ms Lee Bee Wah as STTA President..

Fight at people's Park Centre Food Court...

Last Wednesday, there was a fight between the fruit stall owner and a customer.. This is what happen...

This old man went into the stall area (restricted to public) and wanted to order Ba Kut Teh... Then the drink stall owner told him that customers are prohibited inside this area.. and a heated argument starts between the fruit stall and this old man... and to my understanding... The fruit stall owner push this old man out of the restricted area and accuse this old man from trying to steal his money.. and i understand that the fruit stall owner had broke the old man "expensive" glasses.. And the old man call his grand teen children to help him. and one of his grand child slap the fruit stall owner.. they cause so much commotion till the security have to call in police.. 4 police came and took statement from both party.. This old man is a rich man and is going to sue this fruit stall owner..

From this incident.. the fruit stall owner can politely just tell the customer to move out of the restricted area, because it is not safe for him to be in the kitchen area.. He should have explain it to the old man.. instead of shoving him out of the area..

Budget Airline "do care"...

This passenger did not expect anything from the budget airline and were expecting a non-refund.. But was surprise that their appeal to fly on another date was approve.. and this passenger does really appreciate all the efforts put in by Jetstar Asia..

This shows that the more you demand and expect, the more disappointed you will be.. Sometime if you were lower down your expectation on others, you will get plenty of surprises.. :-)

Flying on budget airline can be a bliss too....
