Solar-powered Handphone! (Technology)

Chinese company HiTech Wealth telecommunications released the first ever solar-powered handphone. It costs US$510 and provides 40 minutes of talktime for every hour in the sun.

Well, it's a cool phone, but wayyyyy too expensive. I don't really trust its effectiveness too. I mean like the phone will be in your pocket most of the time, right? Only time will tell if it will replace conventional handphones.

Punisher Banned From Libraries (Local News)

As of 28 May, local libraries removed all Punisher comics from their shelves. This is due to a concerned mother who complained that her 12 year old son was reading about sex and nudity in a "Punisher" comic book.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, all it takes it's one complaint to have a book removed. Maybe the dear staff and mother did not know the book was rated "MAX", meaning for matured readers only!

5 drownings in 2 months (Local)

Well, it is a saddening case in Singapore. It's true; other than car accidents, drowning is the leading cause of children's deaths.

What must be done. Some say employ more lifeguards or make swimming lessons compulsory, while others say we should start fencing swimming pools.

However, these measures do not solve the root of the problem. We need to get kids to start listening from young, and start obeying authroity. If they kept to the rules, I'm absolutely sure the cases will drop.
