[Thailand] - Human rights lawyer sentenced to 150 years in prison for allegedly insulting Thai royal family. In a separate case, Thai man sentenced to 70 years in prison for allegedly insulting Thai royal family on Facebook. The King has the unique opportunity to use his power to remove the unethical, archaic and always-abused Lèse majesté law (he is the only one in the Universe with the power to do so). Whether he does so or does not, either way, he incurs tremendous karma, but in opposite directions, depending on his choice.

Saudi Arabia’s deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman issued an extraordinary threat to Iran. In a nationwide televised interview, the Saudi heir warned his country would “take the battle� to Iran’s territory.
Mohammed bin Salman, who is also the defense minister, repeated long-held accusations that Iran was trying to destabilize Saudi Arabia and its Sunni neighbors. Iran has consistently denied such claims, saying they are the victims instead.
“We know that we are the main goal of the Iranian regime,� he said. “We will not wait until the battle becomes in Saudi Arabia, but we will work to have the battle in Iran.�
The Saudi prince did not conceal the hatred of the House of Saud toward Shia Islamic Iran, which is viewed as a heretic enemy in the eyes of extreme Sunni Islam professed by the Saudi Wahhabis. He said his country would “never talk with Iran.�
Iran responded furiously. Its Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan hit back by saying that if Saudi Arabia were to do something “stupid,� Iran’s response would be to “leave no area in Saudi Arabia untouched except Mecca and Medina� – the two holy sites of Islam.
Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Gholamali Khoshroo formally protested to the Security Council over what he said was an “unveiled threat� by Saudi Arabia. The terror attack in Tehran on Wednesday is being seen by Iran as the Saudis delivering on their “unveiled threat� to bring the battle to the heart of the Shia Islamic Republic.

Brexit didn't just herald the decline of Britain and UK, it directly accelerates it. All the voters, both pro-Brexit and anti-Brexit, will be enormously upset at any government (no matter who the prime minister is), because the Brexit process is (in hard truth) a lose-lose deal for both UK and EU. Jialat liao.

This is of course, a repost from the past. Just a reminder. It's not about foreigners versus Singaporeans. Religions should not do harm. Burning joss sticks and joss papers have been medically proven to be carcinogenic and hence is unethical and harmful to burn these in public or in common HDB areas where neighbours will kena the carcinogenic smoke. Also, no Buddha or Taoist god ever demanded their followers burn joss sticks or joss papers. It's only a human tradition (one that medical science now knows is carcinogenic and harmful), not a religious requirement (often confused with each other).

Thankfully, the FDA these days is no longer as corrupt as it used to be decades back (when big Pharma had greater control over the FDA). As expected, this anti-tumour drug only works before the cancer has metastasized, but it's still miraculous in that it shrinks tumours that are resistant against all other medicinal drugs.

Afghan commando kills two US soldiers, Taliban claims responsibility for this attack within ISIS stronghold.
First of all, this doesn't mean the Afghan commando is better than the US soldiers, because it was an insider attack (the Afghan commando was supposed to be allied with the US soldiers), so the US solders were taken by surprise in the sneak attack, but the other US soldiers present did manage to kill the Afghan commando immediately thereafter. Secondly, note that the Taliban and ISIS have no love for each other, or either with Al-Qaeda as well, for that matter.
