buds:I cried in my heart for her.. It is always inspiring to hear of individuals who have gone through so much and yet still have a positive outlook in life. Aishah has so much to share and she almost didn't make it but now that she has regained her strength and spirit to soldier on, I am sure she will try to make life as fulfilling for her now as it was then. This article/sharing is another great reminder not to take the people we love for granted and make life count... every second of it. i admit i would not have that optimism and courage. she is a superb role model now on the human spirit more than ever.

Well, I am taking the position that the evidence provided against Dan Tan is not yet enough even to get the fellow detained without trial under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act, much less stand up in court. Remember that much despised law? It is used against organized crime.You think what? Mere hearsay is enough to get you extradited to an overseas jurisdiction just because the angmo say so? Have to go to court first before a citizen can be extradited, you know.Maybe as the foreign authorities present more evidence to our authorities, something may happen over time.

Thats funny! haha !

AC_Power:Wishing him a speedy recovery. No matter how much you dislike him, the fact is we will not be here if not for him and the pioneer batch of statesmen who gave their all to build the foundation of this nation.Well said. Even though some of his polices have not gone down well with us, he has good intentions. If not for him, will we be where we are today? He is a GREAT MAN that earns my full respect. Wishing him a speedy recovery and many many years of good health

pirate:3Boys:You want to discuss airlines, go here --> http://www.flyertalk.com/ I moved on to the parachutes and oxygen masks since you dragged me into that bleeping plane of yours. Don't think there are parachutes for commercial pilots. :scratchhead: I think the engineers of designing the plane is equally important not to make fundamental errors of designing planes with exploring batteries, cracked wings or leaking fuel. Question now is whether our 747 plane which has been very reliable is now replaced by a Dreamliner and our drivers/pilots are competent enough to steer/fly the plane out of danger if a battery explodes in the cockpit. No amount of engineering can salvage human error or an already badly designed plane. :scared:
