1a) What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article?

Criminals aged 16 and older dealt with adults, and this usually means jail, the cane, or even worse than thses. As for drugs like Ecstasy andKetamine, the nsentence ids up to 202years' jail and 15 strokes of the cane, while for cannabis, heroin and coacaine, adult traffickers face the death penalty. Another worrying trend is that more Singaporeans are arrested for drug crimes on oversease. Between 2002 and 2006, some were
caught red handed in Thailand and Malaysia, where many are now behind bars.These are the two worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned.



b) Why are the Singaporeans increasingly being used as " drug mules " ?

This is because Singaporeans do not need a visa for many places, and they are also less likely to be checked because of Singapore's reputation for being tough on drugs.



2) What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling is selling drugs?

I would tell him/her the concequences of the crime he is doing and try my best to stop him from doing so and if there would be a need to report to his parents, teachers or even the police, without hesitation, i would complain about it. I would make him go for councilling and also i myself would advise him that his future will be destroyed and it would cost him to have a bad reputatuion on himself. And it also would be difficult and might be impossible for him to get job in the future if he has a bad record like this because people will look down on him. Therefore, with him bearing mind in all this, i would try my level best to help him get rid of the trouble he has causing to himself.



How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?

I will decline the offer and walk away. If he/she still approaches me to buy the drugs, I would call the police immediately without a minute of hesitation. And i would also complain to the police as it is anti-social and a big crime =)

1a) Why is it easy for burglars to break into stalls at the two markets in Kallang are?

It is easy to brek into those stalls in the market because, none of them had their roller shutters and locks tampered with. Therefore, the theives got in through the open ceilings, getting a leg up on the pipes or metal bars running along the walls.


1b) What is the Geylang East Central Merchants' Asso ciation going to do about the break-ins?


They held a meeting a week after the July 8 burglary. They will be in touch with the relevant authorities, such as the NEA and the town councils, to look into improving security, possibly by modifying stall layout and design.


2) Wat do you think should be done to tighten the security markets?

  • Markets should be well
  • Police should go patrolling around that area
  • People working there should close the shop properly and check before leaving
  • Public should keep an eye on the hawker centre also
  • Hawkers should be polite to their customers so that they would not get angry and rob the market

2) What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?

  • The burglars are not brought up properly
  • They are daring
  • They are stupid because they know that what they are doing is wrong and still they're doing it

(a) Why is cheerleading an expensive sport?

You can cheer loud and confidentally if you know the cheers. But at the same time, for youb to be more confident, you should look good. Cheer leading is an expensive sport because for the cheerleaders to look good, they have to buy clothes, hair products, and other dtuff which costs alot. Like the Pom-Poms which cost $50-$70, tailored costumes which exceeds $100, gymnastic workshops, nutritional supplements and vitanmins which costs $50-$130 per person, hair products which exceeds $50 and not forgetrting, the cheerleader's SMILE which is priceless! (: Therefore, Cheerleading IS an expensive sport as it not only imports things from Singapore but also from the oversease like Thaniland and also others.


(b) What makes cheerleading such a tough sport?

The work as for a cheerleader makes it a tough sport because it is physically demanding and they might also get hurt during the practice ( physically). Concussions, sprained ankles, strained muscles and torn hamstrings are the risks these people take to just cheer. Trust and teamwork also are expected to play a part in this job and eveytime they do a stunt they should be fear-free. From all these above stated facts, we should have knew that this job is exrtremely challenging..


What is your opinion of cheerleaders? If given a chance, would you join cheerleading? Why/ why not?

My opinion is that the cheerleaders are very determin and also give their best to cheer as they do so much of work and spent alot of money just for this. Therefore, we should appreciate them.
If given a chance, i would join cheerleading Because it is a very challenging job and there will be alot of up and downs as people might not co-operate at times, you have got to do risky stunts, spent alot of money to attract people and most importantly you should remember the cheers. So therefore i would like to be daring and take up this challenge :p
