Lately, God hasn't been too kind to the earthlings. First came the cyclone Nargis in Myanmar, thereafter the earthquake in Sichuan that killed over 240 000, not to mention millions of people who are left homeless.
I had thought that this year would probably be a grand year that marks China as a strong power in Asia as the organising nation for Olympics 2008. But the list of events of including the instigation of disturbance led by Dalai Lama has shown to affect China greatly. I still feel that the spirit of sports and politics shouldn't be intertwined in this manner... Nevertheless, China seems to be further victimized by the outbreak of disaster that follows. Now, the world weeps for China. It's indeed heart-rending to see the pictures of the citizens submitting to fate.
As compared to people who dearly cling on to life, I think we're much fortunate than them and it's not something to be taken forgranted. One day if ever Singapore ends up in a wreck, hopefully other nations will correspond to similar kind of assistance rendered also.
