A couple was charged with distributing pamphlets to people in all religions to convince them into converting to their religion. The reason they were convicted was because their pamphlets included some words or sentences that insulted other religions. Those pamphlets were rebellious towards the other religions and has upsetted the public.

Opinion:
Distributing pamphlets to promote your religion is not wrong but when you insult other religions, that is being rude and disrespectful. We all should respect each and everyone's religion even if we do not believe in whichever religion. The couple was being inconsiderate and by insulting other religions on the pamphlets, people will think that the couple is rude and apparently has no manners. This gives people a bad impression of them.

Religion is good in the sense that it leads people to think the right way but sometimes it causes religious conflicts. I think that no matter how angry we are, we should control our anger and not pick on a fight because violence begets violence and nothing good would come out of that.

Based on a survey conducted on Singapore drivers, driving over speed limits and beating the traffic lights when they are glowing amber are Singapore's top two most dangerous driving habits. It was also discovered that many Singaporeans do not know the normal speed limit of Singapore's roads. Only 25% answered 50km/h which was the correct answer.

Opinions:

I think that these drivers are being very inconsiderate and selfish. Everyone gets their turn and I think that they should patiently wait for the amber lights to turn red and then green. After all, the amber lights mean that we should slow down already and not immediately 'grab the chance' and dash across.Speed limit is something very important that keeps the traffic in order. If everyone at the next road is driving at fifty km/h and you happened to be exceeding the speed limit and driving at 70km/h, you won't be able to stop in time and will cause a car accident.

Every year, many people are getting severely hurt or dying because of car accidents. Doesn't it hurt to see news reporting grotesque accidents every few days/weeks? Car accidents are caused because selfish drivers/pedestrians refuse to obey the traffic rules. We should all be road-friendly and obey the traffic safety rules. By doing that, we can create an accident free environment.
