A rally by thousands of protesters outside the Thai parliament building forced the government to delay Prime Minister Abhisit's first policy address.
The protesters were dressed in red and were loyal supporters of the previous premier. The protesters carried sign boards outside thailands paliarment building refusing to go away unless Mr. Abhisit resigns.
The government says that they have no choice but to delay the meeting while the authoroties negotiated with the protesters' leader. One of the protesters had stated their reasons for protesting. They said that they wanted Mr. Abhisit to step down because he has no legitimacy.
OPINIONS: Mr. Abhisit should probrably apologise or pledge like he will do something or become more legitimate. It is also the protesters fault as they should respect the country's decision. They must give Mr. Abhisit time to show that he is a capable leader. He has not even been on the job for a year and i simply cannot understand how they know that Mr. Abhisit is not as capable as the old premier.
Recently, thailand's economic didn't drop greatly just because Mr. Abhisit didn't know how to control the government.And I believe since the paliarment people picked him, he should be capable of doing his job well.

China adds 32 deaths to dismal work safety statistics
Thirty-two people died in two separate accidents in China Saturday, as explosives went off in a rural area while a lift crashed on an urban building site, highlighting the nation's poor work safety record.
Fifteen people died and nine were injuredIn the first of the incidents, a blast erupted at 1.12 am (1712 GMT Friday) in the village of Donggancheng
In the day's second serious incident, 17 people died after a construction lift crashed to the ground on a building site.
OPINIONS: I think China's contractors have not taken enough safety precautions towards their workers and objects at the construction site. They should have considered the welfare of their workers. The workers have families to feed and raise, that was why they needed to work, but now, without the workers income, the families may be experiecing lots of financial problems and may not be able to get enough money to buy food for themselves to eat.
if this carries on, many people, because of their own safety will not want to be construction site workers and there will be no one to build houses and buildings for new companies or people who needs to buy new houses

The ICA reported 8110 packets of contraband cigarettes
It was reported yesterday that a malaysia registered lorry truck was found with $620,000 worth of potential costoms duty and GST payable and unregistered/undeclared cigarettes.
ICA said the duty-unpaid cigarettes were hidden within a consignment that was declared as mixed hardwood sawn timber.
The 8110 packets of cigarettes were discovered when the malaysian lorry checked past the woodlands costoms complex.
OPINIONS: The truck driver was very selfish to have not declared his cigarettes. All entrepreneurs have declared their goods and paid their taxes etcetera, he was also being very unfair to the others. If a man like him gets past the costoms, it will influence the others to do it. Then, the costoms will get out of control. In that way, he earns more money then the others by 'cheating'.
For example another man also goes past the costoms with cigrattes but pays the taxes, he would have to cut down on his supplies by a lot. He would earn less money than the man who intended to get past the costoms without paying taxes.

Singapore Flyer broke down at 4.15p.m. Out of the 28 cabins, 23 were occupied. Many passengers had to exit from the even when they were at great heights. This has been the 2nd time the Singapore flyer broke down this year.
The manager incharged of the Singapore flyer reports the reason of the Singapore flyer break down: There are a total of six power sources powering the flyer, one of them broke down that night causing a system shut down which resulted in the Singapore flyers breakdown
The flyer is still closed for pending investigations.
OPINIONS:
As a new tourist attraction, there must have been many foreign tourists on the flyer, many of them who experienced the flyer's break down would already have a bad impression of this new tourists' attraction and inform the others in their own country of their experience on the flyer and they may not want to take the Singapore Flyer which will become a great money-earning opportunity lost.

Sorry for this two late newz
2)Car Company Daimen Chrysler is closing all North America branches for at least a month. Many workers are left jobless in the harsh winter. Boss of the company states that he will not close down the companies for good.
It was really harsh for him to close down the company. Leaving all the workers jobless and then when it opens again, want them back. But i think the boss of Daimen Chrysler was left with no choice and i respect him for his perserverance to not close down the company even though they are in a crisis. But closing his company temporary and not earning any money is such a waste. If i were him, I would have just cut down on the car production and not close the company down as the workers would have absolutely no salary and i would not earn any money either. Although I think the money earned should be very minimal, but at least the workers would have money to feed themselves.

1)International Financial University predicts that the world economy would shrink by 0.4% in 2009. Japanese experts also predicts Japan's economy to remain without increase at least until March 2010.
That would be the worst financial crisis blow in years.
I personally think that this financial crisis could take years to end and by that time, more and more people who had bankrupted would have been poor and may not even have food to eat. The current poor would not be able to afford anything in the midst of the financial crisis which is getting worse and worse. I hope the world can one day compromise and share with one another the necessities they each need.

1) America's 3 greatest car companies have stopped production as before, they are cutting down on the production line due to the global financial crisis.
I think tht the 3 car companies have started facing problems ever since the crisis started. Their problem must have gotten bigger and bigger. Financial crisis has also gotten worse and worse as many companies are threatened with bankruptcy. This crisis has taught me a valuable experience to always be on your guard for any crisis and always be prepared. The companies should have kept more money in store or made more preperations for it. Now, not only america's car companies, many other companies have also cut down on their production.

New Thai ruler Mr. Abhisit has still not gained trust of supporters of the previous government. The people are not very confident about him being able to bring Thailand through the Global financial crisis. Mr. Abhisit, who is currently 44, is considered quite young. As Mr. Abhisit was choosen from a group and not voted, the citizens do not trust him alot.
I think he must work harder to gain his people's trust. Like doing things to just make the crisis problems lessen. In that way, people will think that he really thinks for his citizens and by solving their problems, he has already proved himself as wise. His age cannot be helped and the people must also stop having the idea of him being young and inexperienced.
