http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclas...07&cid=1303 Yu Zhiping has been sentenced to 13 years in jail. Yu Zhiping, the former vice major of the city of Meishan in Sichuan province, has said that in an environment where corruption is so common, an official would be seen as a "freak" if he refuses to take a bribe. When Yu was sentenced to 13 years in jail for accepting bribes of 3 million yuan (US$480,000) last year, he said in a statement that "an official will be sneered at as a freak if he refuses to take money." According to Yu, some businesspeople would cry and beg officials to take their bribes. If the money were turned down, the official would be seen as causing the supplicant to feel humiliated. Yu was considered a successful politician before he was sentenced to jail. He said the first time he was offered 200,000 yuan (US$31,700) by a businessman, he refused to take it. The man started crying, saying that if Yu refused, he would lose face. Giving in to the man's pleading, Yu took the money and subsequently became more willing to take bribes

So many people chasing the money here and whining....tot I would like to share something I believe in..... 6 PRINCIPLES OF LIFE 1. No point using limited life to chase unlimited money. 2. No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it. ... 3. Money is not yours until you spend it. 4. When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. The difference is that it is too late. 5. How happy a man is does not depend on how much he has but how little he needs. 6. No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with. Remember this: We come into this world with nothing, And we leave this world with nothing! Here is the proof that you don't have to have money to be happy :)

Lao Tzu writes: Why are the people starving? Because the rulers eat up the money in taxes. Therefore the people are starving. Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers interfere too much. Therefore they are rebellious. Why do the people think so little of death? Because the rulers demand too much of life. Therefore the people take life lightly... (does numerous death cases in recent months, ring a bell?) Having to live on, one knows better than to value life too much.

talking about Islam than other religion such as christianity or buddism or taoism etc..? during conversation when friends and colleagues who are christians and buddist, some of us who are non-believers will always try throw questions about their religion.....and all of us will engage in quite an interesting debate. but when it comes to talking with our muslim friends/colleagues, we are always very cautious about what we say? Why is it?

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...wife_in_jb.html Driver and GF hit pregnant woman, break window cover in quarrel over overtaking STOMPer Ah Boy said his pregnant wife and him were attacked by a fellow Singaporean driver and his female companion in Johor Bahru, just because of an overtaking incident. The STOMPer wrote: "I went to Johor Bahru to pump petrol on Sunday (Oct 2) when a fellow Singaporean driver came out to quarrel with me after I overtook him. "He ended up hitting me but I took it as I had wanted to let the problem just go by. "His girlfriend actually hit my pregnant wife. "As if beating me up is not enough, he broke my window cover and went to complain to the Malaysian authorities. "I felt so ashamed when the mechanics at the Malaysian workshop I went to for repairs laughed my story off because they claimed that Malaysians, no matter how bad, don't beat up their own people." i think maybe is never queue up and knock into people car. thats why people angry

Why Some PEOPLE Have Dogs And Not Wives: Do you agree or disagree? 1. The later you come home the more excited your dogs are to see you. 2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across. 6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day. 7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk. 8. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, 'If I died, would you get another dog?' 9.If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting. And last, but not least: 10 If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

early in the morning, as if the weather is not bad enough, met 3 idiots along the way and i just hv to vent it here.. haha.. so bear wif me guys.. first, a toyota picnic. i'm sure it's not the first time i'm encountering this car, bcos found it strange for a picnic to have those mini flag poles at the front (in which i assume is a chauffeured car for vip), but yet with a normal car plate. the last time, noticed tt it likes to zip in & out slow moving traffic inside cbd, tailgating cars in front aggressively, but didnt think much of it as he might be rushing for time due to the VIP inside. today, it chu different pattern, right in front of me. just abt 15m away from the red light (abt 2-3 car length frm the traffic light, but no car in front), it cut into my lane at high speed. seriously, got so rush or not? 6.45am in e morning leh. in e end, the car just zoom right to, amoy street mkt for breakfast. ntg to say. second, a honda civic with an ah beng uncle. after my breakfast, went back to car. saw this civic parked next to me. guy got out, but remaining standing by the door in between our car, and companion was still in the car. the guy was looking at me while i walked towards my car, and i was naturally looking at him since he's just standing next to my car. as i opened the door and about to get in, i thought i heard he say smthg, so i looked at him again and said "yes?" and then it happened. all the hokkien came out, kua si mi, u xiao lian eh bua song si mi, all came out. initially, i was still laughing a bit out of amusement, trying to explain i thought he was talking to me, and told him it's so early in the morning, dont be so free to find quarrel. but then, he kept repeating and repeating, so really made my blood start boiling. so i shouted back at him, "i bua song you!" then i re-composed myself, went in car & closed e door, before anythg drastic happen. maybe it's the cold weather, my car then refused to start on the first 2 attempts. so this monkey stood in front of my car, mimicking me starting the car with his monkey face. damn TL. haha.. then i pointed to him my car video recorder on my dashboard, he shouted at me smthg frm outside, but finally stood one side for me to drive off. third and lastly, turning right into shenton way from boon tat street, kena an old man jaywalking in the middle of the road, with HIS BACK AGAINST THE TRAFFIC! heart nearly popped out. it was still dark and raining. luckily saw him last min, if not really rammed right into him. and after all these traumatic experiences, it's only 7+ in the morning. FML.
