A Deadly Business

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

The 2 worry trends are teens as young as 14 are getting drawn in and some Singaporeans are being used as drug mules overseas ..

1b)Why are singaporeas increasingly being used as "drug mules"?

They are runners who move drugs from one country to another . Singaporeans are used as runners because they do not need a visa for many places , and they are also less likely checked because of Singapore's reputatioon for being tough on drugs .

2)What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs? How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?

I will go crazy! Of course not .. I will ask my friend if she had thought about it before doing. I would advise my friends that he/she is in the wrong and drug trafficking is illegal . My friend should know the right and the wrongs in the world. And taking or selling drugs is not good for my friends future . Drugs are not good for everyone . It may kill anyone who take is . No one should take drugs . Everyone should know that ...
I will say to them "Are you crazy?! I am not that dumb to buy or take drugs ! You think is good for you! " If not , i would walk away . People like that have no lives , too dumb to go school . Dumb enough until want to sell drugs . Come on , that is just a waste of life! Life is useless to them . & if they get court , HOORAY!

Hawkers fall prey to brazen break-ins.


1. a) Why is it easy for burglers to break into stalls at the two markets in the Kallang area?
The burglars were able to break into the stalls as the top of the stalls were open.This is also due to their unwillingness to install safety lock to their stall.Besides that,it also cause a huge amount of money if they were to renovate their stall and insert safety locks and grilles.Therefore,most stall owners does not think about the importance of adding locks to their stall as what they think is important is the huge sums of money they have to spend on .

b) What is the Geylang East Central Merchants' Association going to do about the break-ins?
They wanted to change the the arrangement of the stall.They also encourage the stall owners to make a changes in their stall.Its better to spend on money for safety reason then losing the sums of money and became a victim of thieves.


2. What do you think should be done to tighten the security of the markets? What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?
I think that it would be alot safer if they could install a camera in each stall so that if they became a victim,police could easily identified the suspect.This could also help the police by making their work alot more easier.In addition to the stall owner,it would be better if they do not keep their money in the stall. This is usually the cause where they could lost a huge sum of money due to carelesness.The stall owner must also not forget to lock their stall after work time.Mostly,this happens due to workers or stall owners carelesness.I think the burglars who love to break into stalls have nothing better to do .They are either jobless or in debt.Burglars usually find this way a short cut method to solve their debts.For those who are jobless,they take this as an advantage to make money easier.Burglars could be either stupid or lazy for me.
