Drug courier spared death now challenges caning sentence
PUBLISHED ON APR 28, 2014 9:15 PM

Peddling drugs is a very serious offence – as it destroy the lives of many people and their families.


This drug courier is lucky to spared death by being repented and cooperate in providing information about the backend drug lords.


But now challenging the caning sentence – shows that he has not repented. He should be duly caned for not genuinely repented.


Rohingya health crisis in west Myanmar after aid groups forced out

After several decades of rising Islamic radicalism and hate crimes and bigotry from Muslims, this is starting to rebound. Non-Muslim societies are increasingly taking severe preemptive actions (eg anti-terrorism actions) against Muslim threats.

In Burma, one of the biggest accusations levelled against Muslims is their threat to Islamicize Burma like Afghanistan was Islamicized.

Afghanistan was a Buddhist society in the 6th century, when the Bamiyan Buddhas were built. Muslims destroyed everything and killed or forcibly converted all Buddhists.

Since the rise of Islam, Buddhism has been in constant retreat. Indonesia was Buddhist in the 12th century when Borobodur was built. Now it's the world's most populous 'Muslim' nation.

In the 13th century Malaya was all Hindu or Buddhist. By the 16th century, it was all Muslim.

Muslims are guaranteed to take control of any society they enter. If they can't they will terrorize until they dominate.

It is natural for the Burmese to fear a similar future for Buddhism in Burma. But I think they are fighting a losing battle. By the 24th century, all that remains of Buddhism in Burma will be some ancient stupas that Muslim radicals are calling to demolish.

    As long as anyone did not eradicate the 3 evil roots of Ignorance of Universal Law, Hatred and
    Greed, ie. attain Enlightenment of Nirvana - and internalise with 3 Wholesome Roots of No-Self, Compassion and Panna Wisdom - Buddhist or not will still manifest Human 3 unwholesome roots when they feel their survivors are threatened.

    As long as Human possess the Human body and felt the vulnerabilities of death and sufferings - Human natural defence mechanisim will sets in.

    Thus Human body is known as "a pile of garbage" - that can either hinder or help a person in attaining Enlightenment.

    An unEnlightened Human will act to defend himself - some in wholesome ways, but others in unwholesome ways. For those who act in wholesome ways - will inherit good karma. For those who act in unwholesome ways - will inherit bad karma.

    An Enlightened Human will act in wholesome ways - and will not react to adversary acts as they can forsee Universal Law of Karma or Heavenly Justice or Human Law will come into effect.

    Buddha did not claim to be God - because Universe is not created.
    Buddha did not tell His disciples to made him as statute to be worship - He told His disciples to use Dharma Wheel as object for reverence.

    Dharma Wheel is the implosion of Black Hole and the massive SuperNova of Universe.
    Dharma Wheel produce a mirror image of Samsara of 12 Dependant Origination of Life and Nirvana 3 Ring Fruition of 3 Wholesome values that is the opposing poles of 3 evil roots of 6 realm sentinent beings.

    "However, there are signs of warmth amidst the chill as well. Last week, Tokyo governor Yoichi Masuzoe visited Beijing, meeting with China's Vice Premier Wang Yang and former top Chinese diplomat Tang Jiaxuan and passing on a message from Abe that he hoped bilateral ties would improve.

    That visit followed a trip to Japan in early April by Hu Deping, the son of late reformist Chinese leader Hu Yaobang. Hu met with several senior statesmen. His visit included a confidential meeting with prime minister Abe. "

    Such ongoing constructive engagement and dialogues will be good to defuse tension, untie the series of dead knots one-by-one.

    One day, a breakthrough will happen - as long as step-by-step - both sides move forward positively and constructively.

    One way to prevent future ferry sinking and Titanic sinking - is not have many small raft, but one big secondary ship that sail and tow by the main ship - sufficient to take all the passengers of the main ship.

    If the main ship capsized or sink, all passengers can board the secondary ship and then released by automatic catch until rescue ships arrived and then towed the secondary ships back to safety.

    So no need for many small safety rafts.

    The commitment given by Russia below to implement the Geneva Agreement – will be good to defuse tension.

    “Lavrov said Moscow was committed to implementing an agreement struck in Geneva on April 17 between Ukraine, Russia, the United States and the European Union to ease tensions in Ukraine and disarm illegal groups 

    The Defence Ministry said it was ready for "unbiased and constructive" talks with the United States to stabilise the situation.”

    Let’s hope that constructive development is happening on the ground – similar to what has happen in Syria chemical weapons event.
    The objective is not to have personnel casualties and death on the ground – to either sides.

    Actually, Germany’s suggestion is worth considering :-

    “German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier meanwhile suggested that the United States, the EU and Russia should make a joint high-level trip to hotspots in Ukraine with local officials to signal political backing for the Geneva agreement.”

    Russia's Putin calls the Internet a 'CIA project'

    The Interlock 小三灾 (War, Epidemic, Natural Disaster) seems to be rearing its head, and the Mercedes insignia of 3 roots converging seems to be emerging.

    (1) East Europe hotspot (Ukraine crisie) is glowing – and may turn ugly – as the Ukraine Peace deal has become a lame duck as there is no intention to see it through.
    (2) Middle East hotspot – Mers is getting more and more serious, Israel-Palestine peace deal is off and no deal, Syria internal conflict has no end in sight.
    (3) Asia Pacific hotspot – luckily is more controlled – thanks to the signing of Maritime Pact to avoid conflict, Tokyo Governor visiting Beijing, US reassurance of no conflict, though it is marked by 2 major accidents – MH370 mysterious disappearance and SKorea ferry Titanic sinking and 1 nuclear test in NKorea.

    To prevent小三灾 (War, Epidemic, Natural Disaster) – from blowing out of proportion and end the World :-

    (1) Asia Pacific region – must maintain level-head and not let tension rise. In fact, more efforts should be spend to further cool down the tension – and use the untying knots method – to one-by-one unravel all the dead knots.
    (2) East Europe Ukraine crisis – the only way to ensure the hotspot will not blown out of proportion – is to honour the Peace Deal to defuse the tension. Make no mistake – it can turn very very ugly – bearing in mind the historical lesson of World War 1 and World War 2 ---- this is how the World War started.

    A 3rd World War will mean end of the World.

    (3) Middle East hotspot – WHO need to determine HOW to contain the Mers. Also the coming Haj, need to be very prudent – to prevent the spread all over the World.
    Israel-Palestine Peace deal & Syria conflict – already say window opportunity when come must grasp and settle. Once you miss the window opportunity – very tough unless both dispute parties are really serious to compromise and move forward.

    I already said – the World situation smell bad --- and all the intuitions all come true – which smell bad …………………

    Only if Human Mankind adopt constructive steps to move towards the right direction, Human Mankind can continue to dwell in the Earth else it will be a destructive path and Human Mankind can chant :-

    Saudi announces 11 new Mers infections

    Look like the intuition of Mers getting more and more serious are coming true. It is a blessing that 2013, no case is reported during Haj.

    But for this round may not be so lucky, infection and spreading could be serious if people all over the World start to congregate.

    WHO needs to come in to determine HOW to :-

    (1)   Find the real source of Mers – that is, is it from camels or bats or other source.

    For eg. If from camels, is the camel farm seal and quarantined and eradication of virus take place like how chicken farm are being done to eradicate the H7N5?

    Also, is the infected camels served as food and infect the diners?

    If from bats, then is the cave or dwelling areas for bats are sealed and quarantine and eradication of virus conducted?

    If not from camels and bats – then need to find the real source.

     
    (2) More radical control and quarantine put in place to ensure visitors all properly checked, contacts are traced and when foreign visitors returned home – checked and quarantine to ensure no Mers infection – before rejoining the society.

    International agreements and deals that are signed must be honoured.

    Otherwise how do Countries conduct business and deal with one another – when agreements and deals are not honoured?

    Credibility will be lost, there will be distrust even if agreements or deals that are signed can be dishonoured and discredited.

    If the deal is not given a chance to work or have no intention to implement it, then tension will rise and violent will assume after this.
