Weird buns that we put in our stomarchs...

Makers of the fake buns said they did not think customers could tell the difference What is happening in China? There are a series of scandals in reactions to food management. Zheng Xiaoyu, former head of the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA), was executed on Tuesday for taking some $850,000 in bribes in return for approving the use of certain medicines. Now, CCTV reported that in Beijing, people are selling buns mixed with up to 60% in content of waste paper cupboard with fatty meat, arousing safety alerts on what consumers should really expect the government do to deal with such unethical actions. Few weeks ago, reports indicate that there were new examples of dangerous or below standard Chinese products being circulated globally for daily usage – from toxic toothpaste to children's toys painted with lead-based paint. This brought about international outcry on countries pressuring China to enforce further measures to curb such incidents from happening. Seriously, what is going on with the people in China. I do not think its a government issue. Rather, what is wrong with the people? As long can make money, as long they can earn, many can resort to doing such wrongs in which they can harm the majority of people; dead chickens, waste water pigs, fermented tofu in waste water, now what, buns.. My mindset now: fuck care what's the content. The less you know, the easier you can eat your meal in China now. Totally no security to the soul.. eat just because you need to eat, not because you enjoy...Zzzz quoted: The bao zi filling was made with 60% of waste paper materials In the case of the fake buns the CCTV reporters used hidden cameras to show the lengths the bao zi producers were going to in order to cut costs. To get the right consistency the cardboard was shown being soaked in caustic soda, a poisonous industrial solvent. The owners told the reporter they then mixed it with about 40 per cent fatty meat and the flavour enhancer monosodium glutamate before selling the bao zi in nearby markets. Despite discrepancies in colour and texture, the bun makers - who were shown wearing little more than boxer shorts and flip-flops - said they did not believe customers are able to tell the difference. "Do you eat them?" the CCTV reporter asked the factory owner. "No, I don't eat them," he replied.

Singapore Lao Ah Beks love to go Karimun for SEX! POM POM!

Aiyoh, Singapore old men on news again. Guess what? Same thing again, sex in cheap island lor.

Tanjung Balai (Karimun), Indonesia is where they love to go. From Singapore, you can take a ferry and arrive there in about 3 hours. Eh, I not promoting the place okay. But just telling you all what they doing.

Apparently, there was a crackdown in Mid May 2007 this year, which lasted for about a month. 100 Singaporeans got caught at the scene. HAHAHAHA! (Want play kuku jiao dun scared kena. All the flowers growing on the birdy you also not scared, no need scared malu) This forced many Singaporeans to divert their attention from there, keeping their weenies small and controlled. Singaporeans always got this mentality: Dun get caught, very malu(embarrassed) one.

I think a lot of this visitors should be old people, or uncles in their mid life crisis. I suspect also most of them maybe are Taxi drivers. How not to think this way? Every time I sit Taxi, some uncles bored one will sure talk dirty with me: tell me where big where good where cheap where got many.

Occasionally some complain about the Mainland Chinese ladies who always loiter in our Geylang District. Now think back, aiyuh, all the uncles acting only.

Now their choices so many, got Tangkok-Ali, Viagra, old uncle no need scared cannot do. HAHAHAHA!

below is extracted from the straits times in regard to this post. Wah, I tell you, ST also damn good in choosing time write this kind of article one. Do on weekend news, then aunties see, then uncles hong-gan liao... LOL

source: The Strait Times

".....The Singapore men were seen walking hand-in-hand with their 'cewek' (Indonesian girls) making their way to seafood restaurants around town.

Most just smiled and refused to talk when approached by this newspaper reporter. Others shook their heads when asked if they were looking for girls and walked away.

One said: 'Sorry, I do not know anything about the raids. This trip is my first time.' But locals familiar with him said he was a regular.

Another, a widower in his 60s, said he came with a friend and worked as a lorry driver.

'I like to come to Karimun to enjoy myself. We can have a good seafood meal for $20.

'Sometimes, I try to get an Indonesian girl to keep me company. Those from Java are very pretty, and they also know how to treat men nice,' he said.

He said he had heard about the raids from a friend and avoided coming.

But now, he thinks that everything is okay.

'I am not scared because the Karimun police will only catch the types who book the young ones.'

A Singaporean who looked to be in his 50s said he had visited the island only last week.

'The usual things, makan, sleep, sing. I am not choosy. I do not need a young girl, but she must be pretty,' he said.

'We Singaporeans come here not to do bad things. We pay everything for the girl. Now, I do not go out of hotel room. I just tell my driver to take the girl to the hotel, and we stay inside. We do not need to come out; it is not safe.'

One man was even defiant about his plans. He said he was here to eat, drink and have a good time, and there was nothing wrong with that. .....

.....

When police raided the place sometime in May, close to 100 Singapore clients were at the scene.

'They were traumatised by the experience, although the police left them alone. Until today, some kept calling me to ask if it was safe to return,' he said.

........."

Aiyuh, don't disturb these old men la, Singapore. They're very lonely people. Some more standards of living in Singapore so high, want eat seafood also hard. Give them their imagined paradise for the weekend won;t hurt to much one. If you are so worried about the image of Singapore, then find some educational outreach to these old ah-beks sea whether will listen a not. They may probably visit your local turf club during the weekends and earn some short money to enjoy the trip over. Don't pour too much water on them.

Anyway, I think the local police in Karimun also trying to dig some Kopi-lui from all these, at the same time to stop all those forced prostitution and under-aged selling. So, this one we Singapore don't worry also. I think the one we most worry is scared those old uncle's wives go that island cat fight with the locals only. Socially, we all so scared die, WOMAN power very strong one. mai kia kia.

Singapore not a country?

LOL why Singapore don't have this kind of thing happening during their PAP gathering? Powderful, this one. But as a Singaporean I must say, we are a country. We have our corruption to the minimal, but that doesn't mean don't have. Our Golden Bowl NKF scandal quite furious also one.

Singapore is a real country. And you guys no need to keep saying "You have no brains" Thats personal attack you know :)

Thousands clash with police in China

source: the news pk

BEIJING: Thousands of protesters clashed with police in eastern China last week after security teams moved in to forcefully relocate families involved in a housing dispute, a rights group said on Sunday.

Residents refusing to move out of their homes threw gas bombs at the security forces, igniting riots on Wednesday in Shengzhou city, Zhejiang province, the Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said.

Up to 20,000 protesters and onlookers were at the scene of the riots that left at least five police cars smashed up, it said.

About 20 people were injured in the clashes involving “hundreds” of police and security personnel, while six rioters were arrested as fire engines were called in to disperse the crowd, it said.

Police in Shengzhou refused to comment on the unrest when contacted by AFP, but a local government official denied that clashes had broken out.

“The police did not call in fire engines to disperse the crowd and tear gas was not used,” the official at the Shengzhou city office told AFP. “The crowd dispersed on their own.”

A news report on the Southern Daily website said a 90-year old woman who refused to leave a four-storey building had hurled gas bombs from the top of the building as security personnel and wrecking teams came to destroy it.

Photos on the Internet showed the building decked out with Chinese flags and protest banners that called for “just compensation” and cited China’s property law which was passed by the national legislature in March this year.

Up to 20 people were living in tents on the roof of the building, as they protested the imminent destruction of the structure to make way for a new road.

The demolition did not go ahead as scheduled due to the unrest.

According to online reports, a petition to save the building had been featured in the leading People’s Daily in March as the state press trumpeted the new property law which details protections for private property.

Forced demolitions of homes has become one of communist China’s hottest social issues as residents accuse government officials of colluding with property developers to requisition land for lucrative real estate projects.

Yamade! Yamade! Stop saying there is No massacre in Nanking!

I find it cynical that Japan is always reporting in the news that World War II never seemed to happened. They always love to think that all the sins they had done 70 years ago were stories made up by martians who came down to make Homosapiens look stupid. LJ lor.. what never happened. u think everything can fabricate out like fake discoveries meh? Is facing up to reality such a harsh issue?

But Japan just love to deny any war crimes that are ready to shame their national identity. Eh, why can't they just face up to reality like how the Germans do? At least they acknowledge about their brutal Nazi Power in World War II, their urge to dominate and remove the Jews through their curel genocide. Recently as I was looking through articles online, I found the same news appearing again:

"source: Reuters, The Associated Press

TOKYO: About 100 Japanese governing party lawmakers denounced the Nanjing Massacre as a fabrication on Tuesday, contesting Chinese claims that Japanese soldiers killed hundreds of thousands of people after seizing the Chinese city in 1937.

The members of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Liberal Democratic Party said there was no evidence to prove mass killings by Japanese soldiers in the captured Nationalist capital, then known as Nanking. They accused Beijing of using the alleged incident as a "political advertisement."

Nariaki Nakayama, head of the group created to study World War II historical issues and education, said documents from the Japanese government's archives indicated that about 20,000 people were killed - about one-tenth of the more commonly cited figure of 150,000 to 200,000 - in the 1937 attack. China says that as many as 300,000 people were killed.

Nanjing suffered a rampage of murder, rape and looting by Japanese troops that became known as "The Rape of Nanking." Historians generally agree that the Japanese Army slaughtered at least 150,000 civilians and raped tens of thousands of women.

Nakayama said the study, which was initiated in part because this year is the 70th anniversary of the battle, determined there was no violation of international law.

Toru Toida, another member of the group, demanded that photographs portraying the Japanese military in a negative light be removed from Chinese war memorials. "We are absolutely positive that there was no massacre in Nanking," Toida said."

I can easily find websites via Google and get articles in relation to what they did. Iris Chang, the author of the Bestseller The Rape of Nanjing did an indepth research through various information mediums in order to publish her work. Websites like 1937 Nanjing Massacre has great resources of Images and articles as well books as reference to the historical event. You can say whatever you want. You can even say the images are photoshopped. But end of the day, you play Taiji better than anyone else.

I grew up in a small country called Singapore. There was something called the Japanese Occupation. There was curl treatments in which my grandparents had gone through. I had seen the worthless Currency called Banana Money. I have my own share of History Lessons offered by my Local Government. But why, why of all things they just need deny it? Is it because Japan don't have good paparazzi to cover good news like how the British do? Or is it just because constipation leads to them wanting to think enlightment of truths can be reached through disowning of truths?

Every year, I see the same news coming out again and again. Oei, you not bored one huh. I rather you go make more PS3 games for us play, go re-invent your pornster, or make some new Godzilla movie. But please stop denying No Massacre please!

Shanghai set to overtake Singapore as world`s busiest port

Singapore, June 18: Shanghai is set to overtake Singapore as the world's busiest port in 2008 as the Chinese economy continues with its stellar growth, an executive of the city-state's port operator said in remarks published Monday. Flourishing global trade has enabled Singapore terminals to handle a record number of shipping containers in May, but volumes in Shanghai are growing faster, Kuah Boon Wee, chief executive of PSA for Southeast Asia and Singapore, told the Straits Times. "It's a function of their growth and China's exports are surging," Kuah said. "But even if we're not number one, we will still be a significant player in world trade." Chinese state media said last month that Shanghai has overtaken Hong Kong to become the world's second largest container port in the first quarter as containers handled rose 28.1 percent from a year ago. In the first three months of the year, Shanghai Port processed 5.9 million TEUs (20-foot equivalent units) while Hong Kong handled about 5.5 million TEUs during the same period, up 2.3 percent from a year earlier. Shanghai Port had been the third biggest container port worldwide after Singapore and Hong Kong since the end of 2003. Its container throughput capacity has kept a growth rate of over 20 percent in the past three years. Kuah said PSA Singapore Terminals moved a record 2.28 million containers in May on the back of robust global trade. In the first five months of the year, PSA handled 10.79 million containers in Singapore, up 14.42 percent over last year, he said. "Areas such as Eastern Europe, the Baltic area, the Middle East and of course China, all showed strong growth in trade this year," he said. "We have been working very hard to find ways to help customers make incremental growth in their business so that they will continue to increase their volumes here." PSA Singapore Terminals is the flagship terminal of PSA International which is owned by state-linked Singapore investment firm Temasek Holdings. PSA International handled record container volumes of 51.29 million TEUs last year, 18.6 percent more than in 2005. Its Singapore terminals handled 23.98 million TEUs last year. The port operator earned net profit of 1.21 billion Singapore dollars (USD 786 mn) on revenue of 3.74 billion dollars. PSA is one of the world's top port operators with facilities in 15 countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Bureau Report

MediaCorp unveils new projects at Shanghai Television Festival

source: CNA Wednesday June 13, 10:17 PM

SHANGHAI: Singapore's MediaCorp group, with its multiple news and entertainment platforms, is stepping up efforts to entrench its presence in China. It announced several new projects at the Shanghai Television Festival. MediaCorp is to collaborate once again with China's national broadcaster CCTV, to organise the 8th International Inter-Varsity Debate. MediaCorp says response from the non-Mandarin speaking countries is especially good this year, with participants coming from the United States, Canada and even the Middle East. Said Shaun Seow, Deputy CEO, MediaCorp (News, Radio & Print), "We think it's a very worthwhile project to do with CCTV because it helps to popularise the use of Mandarin in the world. "It's the 8th time we're going to collaborate with CCTV, and it's a very, very good relationship we've built with the Chinese big TV broadcasters. "And this is not just the only broadcaster we've cooperation [with]. We actually do it with many other TV stations in China and this is a way we think we can add value to really what we do in China." MediaCorp's News and Current Affairs arm is drawing on this close relationship with China to produce more long-form features and documentaries, which will provide viewers with fresh new perspectives of many interesting Chinese cities like Changzhou in Jiangsu province. Going beyond co-production, MediaCorp is now also stepping up efforts to market and distribute "made-in-China" productions in the regional and international markets. MediaCorp Studios unveiled its latest offering "A Mobile Love Story" at this year's Shanghai TV Festival. Said Chang Long Jong, Deputy CEO, MediaCorp (Television), "The last few years actually have seen a lot of period costume drama being produced and exported, but there's a new trend now in China market itself. "I think they are encouraging a lot more modern and contemporary dramas, and we feel that it's also a good time for us to explore this genre. "You can see that "A Mobile Love Story" - the whole presentation and... packaging is very modern, you don't feel like it is made in China or made in any particular city. It’s just very cosmopolitan, very contemporary; and we have confidence it'll appeal to a larger market." After 13 years, the Shanghai TV Festival is now one of the most influential media events here in China. Every year an increasing number of broadcasters from all over the world gather here to hunt for opportunities to tap into this very lucrative market. - CNA/yy

Drug detox center sells patients

Drug detox center sells patients
Beijing Today, Friday, July 25, 2003
Sun Ming

"I didn’t participate in the activity, so they let me go. I knew nothing about the sex-trade before it was exposed." A licensed drug quitting center in Guangzhou decided to boost its income by selling female patients into prostitution. The illegal sex-trade was exposed in March last year. However, even though the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center was closed after the scandal was exposed, and some of the staff were arrested, the heads of the center have not yet been charged.

News Probe, an influential program on CCTV, broadcast the whole story on Monday last week. The program questioned why the heads of the Changzhou Drug Abstention Center are still at large.

Midnight telephone call
Zhao Shilong, a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News, a local newspaper in Guangzhou, received a phone call from a young woman at midnight on March 14 last year. The woman just called herself Awen. She said the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center had sold her to pimps who forced her to be a prostitute. Fortunately, she had escaped to freedom. “I know it’s wrong to take drugs, but I didn’t deserve this punishment,” Awen later tNews Probe.

Shocked by Awen’s story, Zhao arranged to meet her the next day. “She looked like a drug user, pale and very skinny,” said ZhaoAwen, 31, was introduced to drugs by some friends 10 years ago. Her family has tried to help her get over the habit and has spent many thousands of yuan in helping her quit. She has been to four different drug clinics in the past few years in Guangdong Province, and these clinics tend to be pretty expensive. But Awen kept returning to her addiction. On December 2, 2001, police arrived at her small apartment and caught her taking drugs. Two days later, she was sent to the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center.

Four months later, on March 2 last year, two pimps came to the center and took Awen away. In the following four days, Awen was forced to experience the life of a prostitute.

Reporters disguised as pimps
In order to gain evidence, Awen took Zhao and his colleague Gong Ling, a photographer, to the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center in the south of Guangzhou on March 16, 2002. "We were disguised as pimps,” said Zhao. “I couldn’t believe the center coue so terrible. But as Awen told me, they really did sell women into prostitution.”Zhao showed two pictures they took secretly to News Probe. One picture was taken when Shao Liai, a worker at the center, introduced two women to Zhao. The other shows Zhao giving money for them to Shao.

After being informed by Zhao and Awen, Guangzhou police closed the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center on March 19. On December 25 last year, Guangzhou Municipal Procuratorate charged two staff members of the drug center and four local pimps, Mao Zufu, Wang Xianzhen, Ding Chuanju and Peng Anle. The two staff members were Chen Taizhong, a section chief at the center, and Shao Liai, a common worker, but the heads of the center haven’t received any punishment yet.“It’s strange, isn’t it?” Zhao tNews Probe. “I think Luo Xianwen, the director of the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center, should be the major culprit in the center’s sex-trade. And there must be more people who supported Luo in the dark, because Luo himself couldn’t manage the whole thing.Zhao thinks that the heads of the Guangzhou Second Workers Sanatorium are also responsible, because the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center was operated by the Sanatorium.

Sex-trade conducted in reception room
A reporter from News Probe interviewed Awen in Guangzhou on June 14 this year. Awen, who asked for a shadow over her face in the program, said that she hadn’t been able to live a normal life for over a year since she reported her story in March last year. “I don’t dare to go back to my hot own in Chigang, in the suburbs of Guangzhou. I’m afraid those people will take revenge on me or my family,” said Awen. “I won’t feel safe until all the people who supported the sex-trade are brought to justicAwen told News Probe that she was sold in the morning of March 2 last year. At that time she had been at the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center for four months.

“Chen Taizhong, the section chief of the center, told me that two people in the reception room would pick me up. I was quite surprised with the sudden news,” said Awen. “I thought they might be my family. Instead, they were two people she’d never seen before. Besides Awen, there were several other female patients in the reception room.

“Chen told me and two other women to leave with the two guys. I realized that they us to be pimps, because I had heard some rumors about this sex-trade before. I cried out and struggled. I told Chen that I wouldn’t go with them. But he forced me. Our family haven’t paid your expenses here. We can’t serve (sic) you free of charge,” Awen quoted Chen as saying to News Probe.

“Luo Xianwen, the director of the drug center, entered the room when I cried out. "It’s so noisy. Take her away, the sooner the better."I felt despahen I heard that. Even the head of the drug center supported the sex-trade,” said Awen. Awen said she and the two other women were sold for 1,000 yuan each to Mao Zufu and Wang Xianzhen. The three women were taken to Kangle village, Haizhu District, Guangzhou.

Escape to freedom
“We arrived there in the afternoon that day. The pimps ordered us to take a shower first and then put on some make up. In the evening, around 8pm, a female pim took us to a dark street.”On the street, Awen encountered several other women whom she had met in the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center before. “The pimp told us to just stand there. I wanted to escape, but the pimp always kept a certain distance from us. She told us that if we tried to escape, they could always catch us and then they would beat us to death,” said Awen who was forced to service clients for the following four days.On March 6.

Awen escaped with another women when the pimp who was watching them went to the bathroom. Awen got in a taxi and hurried to a friend’s home in downtown Guangzhou and stayed there for a whole week.On March 14 she decided to report the case to Yangcheng Evening News, an influential newspaper in Guangzhou.

Sex-trade conducted since 2001
“The Changzhou Drug Quitting Center conducted its sex-trade for at least a year,” an unnamed tired worker from the Guangzhou Second Workers Sanatorium told News Probe. The retired worker revealed that the sex-trade had happened occasionally and in secret before, but after March 2001 the drug center began to sell female patients two or three times a week and usually seven or eight people were sold at a time. The price ranged from 500 to 1,000 yuan.

He explained that all the drug quitting centers in Guangdong Province which were not established by the departments of public security were to be shut down by 2002. The Changzhou Drug Quitting Center, which was established by Guangzhou Second Workers Sanatorium in 1991, wanted to make more money before it was closed. Another inside source revealed that the drug center usually chose patients whose hometown was outside Guangdong Province, because they rarely contacted their families.

“Helping drug users recover involves a very heavy economic burden, so a lot of the patients had simply been given up by their families. The drug quitting center just took advantage of this to conduct the sex trade,” said the insider.

Head people involved
According to Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, Chen Taizhong and Shao Liai, the two arrested employees of the center, insisted that they were just carrying out the orders of their bosses. The two men are still n detention and awaiting final judgment. Zhao Shilong, the reporter from Yangcheng Evening News, also said that when he went to the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center with his colleague and Awen last year, one of the people who bargained with them was Luo Xianwen, the director of the center.

“He asked for 1,800 yuan for one woman, and then cut the price to 1,400 yuan, and then 1,200 yuan. At last we made a bargain at the price of 1,000 yuan.”An insider also told News Probe that Luo and Zhang Yiping, the head of the Guangzhou Second Workers Sanatorium were involved. “Woul common employees really dare to sell patients to pimps without their bosses’ permission?” The insider told the program that after police closed the drug center on March 19 last year, Luo Xianwen and Zhang Yiping lookevery calm.

“They organized a meeting and asked their employees to burn all the account books relating to the sex-trade,” said the insider who claimed to have seen the account books. “It took half a day to destroy all them.

Interview with Luo Xianwen
Luo Xianwen still works for the Guangzhou Second Workers Sanatorium. He accepted an interview from News Probe at his office on June 14 this year.

News Probe: Why was the Changzhou Drug Quitting Center closed by police in May last year?
Luo: They said that some staff members organized prostitution.

News Probe: Who organized the activity?
Luo: Police took more than 10 staff members including me to the police station after they closed our center. I didn’t participate in the activity, so they let me go.
I knew nothing about the sex-trade before it was exposed
Zhao Shilong (the reporter from Yangcheng Evening News): I can prove what you just said is a lie.

News Probe: Do you know him, Director Luo?
Luo: No.

Zhao: Have you never seen me before?
Luo: No.

Zhao: I bought two women from you.
Luo: No. I never did any business with him.

News Probe: Are you sure?
Luo: Definitely.

News Probe interviewed Zhang Yiping the same day, who also denied that he’d been involved in the sex-trade. (Source: CCTV). Li Xuewei, an editor from News Probe told Beijing Today on Tuesday that two days after News Probe was broadcast on July 14, Guangzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee ordered Luo Xianwen and Zhang Yiping to come to the committee to explain themselves.

“It was hard to cover this case,” added Li. “The departments of public security, the procuratorate and the court in Guangdong Province all refused to speak to us. This is no simple case.”
