Shocking that Singaporeans ask for wildlife to be

ziniowong — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 14:07:25 +0800

SINGAPORE — Singapore is a country where, when someone spots a snake in the park, it is not uncommon for the person to think of calling for help to send it to the zoo, thinking that it “belongs” there.

When this anecdote was posed on Tuesday (Nov 26) to Dr Jane Goodall, the renowned researcher who revolutionised the world’s knowledge of chimpanzee behaviour close to 60 years ago, she said that she often learns something new from the countries she visits — “often something shocking”.

Southeast Asian haze wiki; indon edit

ziniowong — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:32:14 +0800

The haze is largely caused by illegal agricultural fires due to industrial-scale slash-and-burn practices in Indonesia, especially from the provinces of South Sumatra and Riau in Indonesia's Sumatra island, and Kalimantan on Indonesian Borneo.And because of Malaysia and Singapore company that burn Indinesia forest.[5][6][7] Burned land can be sold at a higher price illegally, and eventually used for activities including oil palm and pulpwood production. Burning is also cheaper and faster compared to cutting and clearing using excavators or other machines.

Dear Thelma: My parents put a lot of pressure on m

ziniowong — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 10:54:14 +0800

My family is not very well off financially and, because of that, I had to give up my desire to further my studies.

I am a straight-A student and it hurts when all my life, I thought I’d be continuing my studies but, in the end, could not.

So after finishing school, I got a job but since I only have a high school qualification, I couldn’t go far in building a career.

I then decided to continue with my studies part-time. I have other financial commitments, like paying for my car, insurance, and so on.

I have cut down on my expenses, to the point that I won’t even go out for lunch because I don’t have enough money. I don’t have savings, which makes me worry even more. Yet, I have never asked for money from my parents. I would rather starve than ask for money from them because they will kill me with their words.

The problem now is my parents are forcing me to get a new car. I know it’s a good thing and there are many affordable cars in the market. However, my parents want me to get a car which costs over RM100,000!

Based on my financial status, I know I cannot afford that car. If I could, I would have definitely bought it even before they asked.

I have voiced out my situation to them, like, a million times, but my parents can’t seem to understand me. They still insist on me getting the car and even asked me to take up a personal loan to pay for the deposit.

My salary is not huge as I am only an SPM-level clerk. With the current economic situation where everything is so expensive, I have tried to do part-time business, but it didn’t turn out well.

I am not the only child. I have other siblings but all the responsibilities or commitments always fall on me. I feel so stressed!

I am actually quite depressed. I never share my work stress with anyone but always bottle it up in me. I know it’s bad, but I have no trusted soul to share my thoughts with.

I also realised recently that my best friends have been making fun of me behind my back and it hurt me so much. I have yet to overcome that. Juggling between work and part-time studies is not easy, yet I still managed to do it.

But when my close friends and family make my life stressful, I don’t know how to handle it and I feel lost.

I have no one to talk to about my problems and, of course, I wouldn’t want to make a bad impression in front of my family.

I cannot take it anymore. It is OK if my parents cannot give me moral support or motivate me in my daily life, but they are making my life even more miserable.

I have tried my best to explain things to them but they are not ready to accept or understand me.

Going back home just to hear sarcastic remarks, indirectly telling me that I am good for nothing, asking for money, asking me to buy a car are all too much and I am going crazy. Please help me.

Broken-hearted girl

China’s Most Hated Actress?

ziniowong — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 14:58:34 +0800

Jing Tian is apparently a rising star to watch for. If her CV told the whole story, then she’s a Chinese actress on her way to conquer Hollywood. Currently screening in theaters, Kong: Skull Island saw the 28-year-old acting alongside Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson. This was hot on the heels of rubbing shoulders with Matt Damon as the female lead in Zhang Yimou’s latest attempt at an epic fantasy released this February in North America, The Great Wall. She has also been cast in Legendary’s Pacific Rim 2, due for release next year.

So then why does she get such terrible reviews?

On the movie review channel Douban, one of the most popular social media platforms for film, TV and books, Kong was hit by a minor outbreak of one-star ratings (out of five) during its first week of release since March 24.

And most of the reviewers cited Jing’s brief appearance as the reason.

Soo Wincci sanggup dedah tubuh dalam filem

ziniowong — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 10:52:32 +0800

KUALA LUMPUR: Penyanyi dan pelakon, Dr Soo Wincci, sedia mendedahkan tubuhnya di layar antarabangsa tertakluk kepada permintaan pengarah tertentu yang melihatnya dari sudut seni.

Begitupun, beliau enggan ada pihak menganggap keterbukaan seperti itu sebagai menjurus kepada kesediaannya untuk terbabit dalam filem berpaksikan elemen erotik.
"Saya memahami dan menghormati sensitiviti penonton tempatan. Namun andai diminta berlakon separuh bogel atau perlu mendedahkan tubuh, saya akan mempertimbangkan tawaran berkenaan sekiranya dapat bekerja dengan pengarah prolifik seperti Ang Lee (sutradara terkemuka Taiwan yang turut mencipta nama di Hollywood).
"Beliau seorang yang sangat berseni dan tidak menonjolkan tubuh pelakon tanpa tujuan, sebaliknya lebih kepada nilai artistik. Maksud saya, berbogel tetapi bukan menunjukkan badan tanpa seurat benang.
