A Deadly Business

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


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


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?

If I find out that one of my friends is selling drugs, I will persuade him to stop his wrong actions and tell him that selling drugs is illegal in most of the countries and most importantly, tell him to reflect on his mistake and start his life afresh. If someone tries to sell me drugs, I will reject the person's offer as the person is taking an illegal action against the law and regulation of the country.

Hawkers fall prey to brazen break-ins.

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


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


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?

Installation of CCTV may tighten the security of the markets as CCTV can detect anyone's movements around the area. This can get close to the recent case of "breaking into the stalls on that area". The burglars are very brave towards their own actions that they can do anything to not to be suspicious to the people surrounding him. Breaking into the stalls in the market is considered as an illegal action or a serious crime which is prohibited by law. I think that breaking into the stalls is a crime that can destroy or ruin one's future. This can tell me that instead of doing such crime, we also can do something good to help the society or needy people. For example, keeping the surrounding place clean.

3 Cheers for the Team

1. (a) Why is cheerleading an expensive sport?


(b) What makes cheerleading such a tough sport?


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

In my opinion, I think that the cheerleaders are very good role models that people should learn from. The reason is that they are enthusiastic about cheerleading during their practices and they do not mind about the tiredness and they are keen to help their teammates who have any difficulties.
