They will be beggers for the rest of their lives. I feel so sad seeing all these kids...Purple~MushRooMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453141471728563299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-69281639464734131422009-01-25T15:36:00.000+08:002009-01-25T15:36:00.000+08:00MAHAGURU58,Thank you Tok Guru for your views and o...MAHAGURU58,<BR/><BR/>Thank you Tok Guru for your views and opinions and I largely share your concern.<BR/><BR/>I think you were right to point out the Chow Kit Fear; I also like to express the Fear of Police too as was the case of Kugan. We are in a diabolical situation where the criminals are out there waging and at the same time we have the police who acted much the same as those criminals.<BR/><BR/>Moo_t,<BR/><BR/>I do not agree that corruptions are norm for countries with vast number of poors and uneducated; its more to the conception that corruption created the rich at the expense of the poor as well as the fact that poor countries are hit harder by the corruptibility, and aggravate the already critical conditions.Maverick SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871611453372513136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-7772955535629861152009-01-25T13:20:00.000+08:002009-01-25T13:20:00.000+08:00Looking at the photos, the one-child policy needs ...Looking at the photos, the one-child policy needs to be introduced in India.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-86692799701404566472009-01-25T12:57:00.000+08:002009-01-25T12:57:00.000+08:00Corruptions is norm for any country with vast numb...Corruptions is norm for any country with vast number of poor and uneducated population.<BR/><BR/>It is funny that country such as Cuba, the children welfare are better than those poor children in Mumbai. Although children are suffered many years thanks to US sanctioned. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we should remind ourselves : never ever let our country degrade to such level. <BR/><BR/>If the parent give up to "correct" the government, it will pass down the burden to fight with heftier price when the children growth up.
