[quote]Nuclear technology not suitable for Singapore yet
CURRENT nuclear energy technology is not suitable for Singapore yet, a pre-feasibility study has concluded.

But the two-year pre-feasibility study, done by government agencies, external consultants and independent expert advisers in response to an Economic Strategies Committee recommendation in 2010, did not rule out nuclear energy altogether, and recommended Singapore continue to monitor the development of new nuclear energy technologies.[/quote]The \"yet\" sounds scary...
Hope my kid doesn't have to live with nuclear in our backyard.

Educated person should think before talking. She brought this upon herself...now she really invited attention.

That's the problem when we focus too much n math n science and all the academic pursue...u can get all the academic achievements but where does it get u in terms of WISDOM?

All the academic qualifications have been wasted on this brainless, insensitive woman.

I understand she would have to live with this…but don’t cause such discord among Singaporeans mah…we have lived in harmony with Malays, Indians and other races all these years.

I have a question. Suppose somebody in a private conversation amongst friends or relatives spout some non-sensical racist tirade. Suppose somebody else records it and then posts it online. Who do you think is more culpable? The person who spoke the racist tirade or the person who recorded and posted it online?


Now, suppose the first somebody instead of saying it in a conversation, posted it momentarily on his/her facebook page. Suppose somebody else who is a ‘friend’ takes a screenshot of it and then posts the screenshot somewhere else or submits it to Stomp, causing that otherwise obscure facebook page of a nobody to go viral. Who is more culpable, the person whose facebook page was screenshot or the the person who took and publicized the screenshot?

In the first case, the initial conversation was fleeting. In the second case, the original post in the otherwise obscure facebook page could have been deleted quietly before it causes offence to a wide segment of the population. In both cases, it was the recording/screenshot which publicized it and made it permanent and unremoveable so that the contents are spread far and wide. So, who is more culpable if it causes widespread offence?

Does your case in the 1st para not bring us to the recent one regarding this drunk undergrad spouting racist nonsense?
What he did is certainly not right, even under intoxication...but the fellow who circulated the video definitely have BAD intent!!
