  • Woman Stands By Her Complaints Of FT MRT Seat Hoggers

    Woman Stands By Her Complaints Of FT MRT Seat Hoggers

    SEE HOW INCONSIDERATE, UNREASONABLE AND SELFISH THESE PEOPLE CAN BE . . . . .

    Contrary to what her husband had posted, I was not the one who was telling lies. What I had posted in Facebook was nothing but the truth. There was indeed no empty seat at the point of time as I entered and walked from one end of the two rows of seats to that reserved seat in question. If indeed there were other empty seats as claimed by her husband, Jenny, as the person that she was, would not have asked her wife for the seat that was reserved for seniors and other physically challenged people which their son’s legs had invaded into. We must not tell lies and we must have a clean conscience of the facts.

    I do not think that it is a matter of right or wrong for her son to take up one seat whether or not he has a ticket. To have her son’s legs invading into one third of the space of the seat that is reserved for seniors and other physically challenged people and refusing to budge, is a blatant disregard of consideration to seniors and other physically challenged people. It is all simply a matter of showing graciousness, consideration and courtesy to fellow commuters. It is up to a person’s generosity and choice whether she wants to be gracious or not. A good example of graciousness that I have ever encountered is seeing three little children taking up only two seats and thus freeing one seat for someone who needs it more than they do.

    My husband said, to quote: “If they are Singaporeans they are being ungracious. However, if they are foreigners, we will forgive them.”

    There was no point to reason with such unreasonable people in the train and to avoid an ugly confrontation seeing how aggressive they were and I was only a single helpless lady, what more could I do under such circumstances, then to take a picture.

    Contrary to what her husband said, I had no malicious intention in taking the picture. It was a rare sight that I could not miss – a couple sitting with the wife carrying a small child whose legs had invaded into the seat reserved for seniors and other physically challenged people and who adamantly refused to move their son’s legs to allow a senior to sit. It was indeed a rare picture that one would not chance upon again in the next 100, 200 years or more. A picture tells a thousand words.

    Feeling disgusted and just before exiting the train, I have taken the picture to show to my great grandniece, grandnieces and grandnephews to inculcate in them a right sense of graciousness, consideration and courtesy to all mankind. And I am pleased with the over 90% of positive responses from so many people who are able to view things in the right perspective. A very big thank you to all these people for sharing their point of view. I certainly appreciate your invaluable responses which are very encouraging.

    My post is to get feedback and opinion from the public. Now that I have got what I want I am satisfied. I do not wish to waste my precious time on this matter anymore as what I have posted is the truth.

  • Aceh Shariah Court Sentences 2 Men To 85 Public Cane Lashes For Indulging In Gay Sex

    Aceh Shariah Court Sentences 2 Men To 85 Public Cane Lashes For Indulging In Gay Sex

    BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — A Shariah court in Indonesia’s conservative Aceh province has sentenced two gay men to public caning for the first time, further undermining the country’s moderate image after a top Christian politician was imprisoned for blasphemy.

    The court, whose sentencing Wednesday coincided with International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, said the men, aged 20 and 23, would each be subjected to 85 lashes for having sexual relations. One of the men cried as his sentence was read out and pleaded for leniency. The chief prosecutor, Gulmaini, who goes by one name, said they will be caned next week, before Ramadan starts on about May 25.

    The couple was arrested in late March after neighborhood vigilantes in the provincial capital Banda Aceh suspected them of being gay and broke into their rented room to catch them having sex. Mobile phone footage that circulated online and formed part of the evidence shows one of the men naked and visibly distressed as he apparently calls for help on his cellphone. The second man is repeatedly pushed by another man who is preventing the couple from leaving the room.

    The lead judge, Khairil Jamal, said the men were “legally and convincingly proven to have committed gay sex.”

    He said the three-judge panel decided against imposing the maximum sentence of 100 lashes because the men were polite in court, cooperated with authorities and had no previous convictions.

    “As Muslims, the defendants should uphold the Shariah law that prevails in Aceh,” Jamal said.

    International human rights groups have described the treatment of the men as abusive and humiliating and called for their immediate release. Human Rights Watch said in April that public caning would constitute torture under international law.

    Prosecutors had asked that they receive 80 lashes.

    Aceh implemented an expanded Islamic criminal code two years ago that allows up to 100 lashes for morality offenses including gay sex.

    Caning is also a punishment for adultery, gambling, drinking alcohol, women who wear tight clothes and men who skip Friday prayers. More than 300 people were caned for such offenses last year.

  • Briton Who Stopped WannaCry Attacks Failed IT

    Briton Who Stopped WannaCry Attacks Failed IT

    The British computer expert credited with halting the global WannaCry cyber attack failed IT in school.

    Speaking to The Daily Mail in an interview published on Monday, Mr Marcus Hutchins, 22, said he was suspended in 2010 after being accused of hacking into his school’s system.

    “The school server had been attacked and the network was down. I was online at the time and I saw the network slowing down. They handed me some papers which showed I was online then and chatting with my friends on the school network.

    “Then that was it, I was suspended for something I never did,” said Mr Hutchins, who is from south-west England. He is a researcher at Kryptos Logic, a Los Angeles-based threat intelligence company.

    After that, he was banned from using Internet-connected computers, which meant he had to complete his GCSE, the British equivalent of O levels, in IT on paper – which he failed.

    The self-taught cyber security expert is also working with the UK government’s National Cyber Security Centre to prevent a new strain of the malicious software from emerging.

    The attack stopped spreading when Mr Hutchins, helped by Mr Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint, accidentally triggered a “kill switch”.

    In an interview with Associated Press on Monday, Mr Hutchins said he does not consider himself a hero, and fights malware because “it is the right thing to do”.

    Kryptos Logic chief executive Salim Neino said Mr Hutchins took over the “kill switch” on Friday afternoon (European time) before it could fully affect the US.

    MCE Fire-Fighting System Accidentally Activated, No Fire Or Accident At The Scene

    The fire-fighting system along the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) tunnel was accidentally activated on Wednesday afternoon (May 17), causing a slowdown in traffic.

    “At 12.57pm today, the water-based fire-fighting system along the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) eastbound tunnel, before the exit to Fort Road was accidentally activated,” said a spokesperson from the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

    “After verifying that there was no fire, the system was immediately switched off, and normal traffic condition resumed at about 1.06pm,” the spokesperson added. “LTA is investigating the cause of the incident. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”

    A photo sent in by a Channel NewsAsia reader showed lines of stationary vehicles in the tunnel, with what appear to be sprinklers going off overhead across all lanes.
