    it's hard to understand what goes on their mind. he shld just kill himself, the kids are just too innocent. must be suffering from depression or something.

    It is the failure of our education system. We are taught to be intolerant of failure from day one ... imagine a kid attending a neighborhood primary school for the 1st day, the 1st question from teacher: "those who has tuition raise your hands" ... it is a true story in Singapore ... don't laugh

    I went to renew car insurance last week. Half way through the processing and chatting with the insurance lady in general about premiums rising, dodgy claims and counter claims etc, she let out a sigh, "maybe it is better not to hv anything" and went into her own thoughts for a while...

    dunno man, kind of a moment of epiphany

    Manager declared bankrupt

    THE man suspected of killing his two children before falling to his death on Saturday had been declared a bankrupt in 2003.

    A report from the Insolvency and Public Trustee's Office showed that Mr Ng Chee Kiang's financial problems arose through a combination of overspending, gambling and speculating in the stock market.

    While he had been working for Japanese food specialist PTC-Nakajima Suisan for over a decade - he earned about $5,000 a month there as a manager - his salary was not able to support his lifestyle as he reportedly raked up debts of more than $200,000.

    Friends and neighbours also said that he and his wife, Madam Ong Lay Choo, 28, had been having marital problems for over a year, with talk of a looming divorce and custody battle for their children.

    But it is still unclear how his financial woes and a strained relationship with his wife culminated in his and his children's deaths on Saturday.

    His flat on the sixth floor of Block 543, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 was set on fire 10 minutes before he fell from the 12th floor.

    why? did he slip? someone push him? what?
    wouldn't it be more accurate to just say "he jumped" ?
