Minister questions plans to separate conjoined twins
(Part A – Prime – Page A1 & A6)
Question 1
What are some of the problems involved in separating a conjoined twin?
The problem are three out of four twin joined at the head were died in the operation and fourth not in a good shape.The risk of this operation is very risky even if both or one survived it might have serious brain problem for the rest of the life.for the latest report of twin whom is conjoin at the head was rated 50;50 one twin will die.for the three twin mention in the article only one operation was succeeded with both twin but not in a good shape.one of the twin mention there one twin died and one have serious problem.
Question 2
If you were a part of a conjoined twin, would you rather stay together with your twin for the rest of your life or would you risk both your lives to go for an operation? Why?
I would first ask for his opinion then I would tell him the trouble of being conjoin if he/she said no ,I will respect his idea and said a single word of this subject anymore;but if he said yes or he said that he will respect my choice i will rather risk both our live to redeem our freedom.
WHY?
- Firstly,it is very troublesome to walk around and doing thing like if i want to walk there and he want to walk another side then we will argue and this may broke our good relationship
- secondly,when your relative came and see you they do not know how to address we both.example if my name is James and my brother is Thomas our relative don't know who to call or maybe call both and it is very awkward.
- If we not in a good term and if we to fight and if i am very timid human reaction will run away .if we were conjoin i cant get away from him.
- If we were to go for a overnight trip like example camping there might not have a suitable bed for us to sleep
- and lastly a conjoined twin will be a laughter to normal human if i would mind i am scared of my other mind.
WHY?part [2]
why I risked the lives of ours because these day technologies are very good and we took this risk for our own good take this risk even if one of us or both die in the operation i will not blame the others as this is our choice but if we both survive it will be a great thing to us and to our close one.we also can increase the good reputation of our Singapore's doctor as this show that Singapore's doctor is very good at this that this can bring in of business to Singapore and make the financial problem to resolve.generally this is either a win-win situation or a both lose situation it all depend on our doctor

Businesses are still big on doing good(Part B – Home Section – Page B6 – The Home Market)
1)What are big companies doing in order to be more socially responsible?
They not cutting down on their Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) who is one of the so -called project of being socially responsible.For Sing Tel,they supports CSR by initiatives focusing on youth and education and environment.for environment they are cutting down carbon emission and the cutting down they use of paper.They also set up a Sing Tel Touching Lives Funds who raised $2.2 million for the privileged children and youths.McDonald also make sure they does their part.They do this by making sure their food is safe.They also make sure they they did not buy beef or other food originating from the rainforest's land or recently deforested rain forest.For DBS they help this by sending their staff embarked over Asia.This includes teaching they children over there and build basketball court in some rural areas.
2)How important it is to be socially responsible? And do you think it is still possible to make a social impact during the recession?
- It is important to be socially responsible as a company because without the social there is no chances for the company to earn money so the company should repay the social by to a social responsible company.You will a great difference in the economy if the people didn't buy thing from the company or the company didn't care to spend some money and help to the people which represent the social.If the company be more responsibility in not only the work but the environment and economy or even the social many company will fall and the environment also will cause a great impact this will lead to more and more poor and more and more ill people around the world just because of the usage of non-biodegradable thing like metal and styrofoam which can produce toxic gases around of the world that cause population crash and lower birth and higher death rate around the world.
- As an individual,it is also important to be socially responsible.for an student ,we could study hard , get an diploma and help the nation or even the government next time when u grow up.for an adult we can volunteer our self to the needy and some other kind of organization when you are free.you can also suggest your idea of how to improve the world to the government or even online.
ii)i think yes if everyone even as the company do their job.like cutting the usage of paper planting for tree around the area ,donate money to the poor and needy,taking part in the earth day,take care of our self and our family in term of nutrition and health to reduce the number of sick people around the world or volunteer our self.You may think this is just a small effort but this a make a difference of the world.For the money part maybe we can't help much but once the financial problem is solve then it should be fine.the number of retrenchment also increase just because of the financial crisis but i think we should work together to solve this problem instead of thinking that u could happy-go-lucky everyday after the retrenchment or avoiding this problem like an rat.

Save the planet? This is a job for school kids…
(Part B – Home Section – Page B3)
1)What are some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment?
The school tell the primary 4 and 5 student to track their month to month energy.they also educate the student on how to save energy through their science lesson.The Singapore Environment Council (SEC) and National Environment Agency also organise a project call the project carbon zero to reduce home use energy.Schools also emphasis on issues like energy conservation and climate changes.they also get the student to throw fruit waste into worm compost bins,which convert food waste into fertilisers.
2)Do you think one person's effort in reducing, reusing and recycling will make a difference in saving the environment? What steps have you taken in the effort to save the earth?
i)No,a person would help but if everyone does their job it will help a lot as a phase said "Every person counts"this sentence mean although one person could do a lot of thing but it is impossible for one to save the earth as every one is counted to the saving of earth.This is possible if everyone do a little bit of what they wanted to do for saving the earth like picking up the litter you see and using lesser water when doing things This will help a lot even if just a litter it will also cause disaster or something like that to happen .The most common one is drought and global warming as it is true that the ozone layer have a hole so people please help a little bit. you see you may think even if you help in saving the earth but think carefully the world have more than 15 billion of people,a quarter of this should enough for us to dissolve global warming or maybe we can fix the hole in the ozone layer.
This are some of the way we can help...
Turning off light and fans when you are not using.
Do not let the running water flow
Conserve more electricity by using fan instead of air-conditioner.
Using light-saving bulb instead of the normal one
Use the water heater approved by the government
Check for the tick when buying electrical devices.
Pick up litter you see even it is not your
Do not pollute the water
Get in your friend car and use up all the five or more space in a car if you is a legal driver
Do not waste paper
ii)i have help in the environment by turning off lights and change the degree of the air-conditioner to 25 degrees.i have reuse reduce and recycle paper and water as well.i also help by not throwing litter on the floor or anywhere else but only the bin.i walk or take bus to school instead of my dad sending me as car causes carbon monoxide.my family also grow plant to take in the carbon dioxide from the air.

Reforming sex offenders(Part B – Home Section – Page B5 – Law & Order)
Q1)How does the treatment programme of the Singapore Prison Service help sex offenders?
In prison :they are assessed on factor that shape their likelihood to re-offend such as how deviant their sex habit are,their attitudes towards sex offence and their history.after that they go through three program.the first they know how to defeat the secrecy,shame and denial surrounding their acts.the second they know they know to break up the thinking of sex.in the final know how to develop relapse prevention plan.
Outside prison:they are treated by family help ,counselling and the volunteer help them to find job to keep them busy.
Q2)Do you think that sex offenders should be given a second chance in the society? State your reasons.
We must see the situation before considering.if the prisoner have the sincerity to relapse their wrong why not we forgive them.but some are optional as some only said they want to change but after a long time they also didn't change .this kind of people should be reconsidered before giving them a chances.That kind of people should go through one of the counselling like in the prison but only one difference is they are not in as prisoner but as the out casted civilian.
If the the prisoner is like the prisoner BALA KUPPUSAMY whose always go in and out of prison ,we should not forgive them until he has reach the stage like in the above prisoner i mention .i think there is no way for him to change unless he fully absorb the mistake he made to the victim.
if the prisoner always think that it is the victim who made them enrage or becoming hyper this kind prisoner is the hardest to solve out if we want to forgive or not as sometimes the victim is way to absurd.so girl do not wear some kind of little cloth clothes u may be a victim yourself do not think that SINGAPORE is very safe as there are report last year to show that the crime rate is 855 last year although this year has drip by a small number.
LOW CRIME DOESN'T MEAN NO CRIME!!!
some prisoner maybe a victim itself and they should be forgive what i mean by that is girl always think that they has more authority as in the law it is stated that girl has more power when in a case of outrage of modesty.example that a girl s in wrong like she beat a man up very badly , the man want to confront her the other day when the girl saw the man coming beside her she tear her clothes in public and blamed that the man rape or molest her then the public will call the police and the man will be jail.
In conclusion 60% of the prisoner should be forgive as some may offend incidentally.
