What I did: I was looking through The Straight's Times website
online
Summary: Caregivers can call for a nurse to go to their house to
help with caring for their loved ones instead of going to
the hospital, which is unnecessary when there is no
emergency.
What I learned:
New words: Jaga- means "to guard" in Malay.
About the article: This is one of the best solutions for caregivers to reduce stress when caring for their
loved ones, and also helps save time in hospitals when caregivers do not know
what to do. The nurses can easily travel to their houses at the press of a button and
help to care for the patient. Not only can they help in caring for the patient (like
changing their tubes or something), they can also do a checkup at the same time.
This really helps a lot.

Summary: Man gets 6-years jail for parang attack
What I learned:
Not everything needs to be revenged. After finding out that his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend cheated on her, he lured him to a warehouse and slashed him with a parang, causing him to get cuts, a fractured skull and his intestines spill out of his abdominal wound. Not everyone deserves to be slashed to this extent, even if they cheated on their ex. Revenge is really scary.

What I did: I was looking through The Straight's Times website
online
Summary: Cleaners Zaidah, 41, and her boyfriend, Zaini Jamari, 46, were convicted of three charges of child abuse and one count each of causing grievous hurt.
What I learned:
People can be really harsh on others. It is really very cold-hearted. I hope that people will not learn from them and repeat the same mistakes. It is already bad enough for people to abuse animals, but now this? The boy died! How I wish the couple could have been charged for murder, not because I hate them or because they killed, but because they caused suffering to the poor child. I just cannot stand his suffering and leave it lying there. Is there no justice for these kind of people?

What I did: I was looking through The Straight's Times website
online
Summary: construction firms can pay lower levies for
experienced foreign workers trained in safety, in a
move to encourage bosses to send lower-skilled
workers for courses.
What I learned:
New words: Levies- meaning tax
From the article: Singapore is trying to lower the death toll caused by deaths of construction workers.
I feel that this is great. People are paying more attention to the safety of others. It
can even make the world a better place.

What I did: I was looking through The Straight's Times website
online
Summary: A 65-year old man died of suspected heart attack while
watching The Conjuring 2. His friend brought him to a
hospital where he was declared dead. The man's body
and his friend both disappeared when his friend brought
him to another hospital for an autopsy.
What I learned:
Do not go to a movie that you do not dare to watch. It is really scary how that man died at the movie. Furthermore, he and his friend both "mysteriously" disappeared. Though, I suspect that his friend killed him and disappeared with the body to get away. However, I will not jump to conclusions. Let us all wait for the reports.
