kinda expected. not first time what, few years ago also jailed.Originally posted by seow:CSJ jailed? -
I support this
Series of MRT deaths
IMF, 66.6% was a joke. Cost of living went up with increase of electricity, bus fare, taxi fare and GST was a cause of the MRT deaths. Series of People dying in their sleep happens every-so-often, it is 146th that report so extensively. "Death of Sinnathamby Rajaratnam, Lim Kim San and Elizabeth Choy" will be ranked no. 2 in my list. Ah Hao kenna hanged was somewhat expected. Elite Girl saga, just a joker trying to make his and her mark and get sixty-seconds of fame. No matter who win the TR bid, it will still make it's way into the headlines. -
