The world now is not peaceful. Lots of current affairs happened in the past months. Conflicts, epidemic disease and economic crisis fill the content of newspaper.
North Korea, facing international censure for this week's nuclear test, threatened on Wednesday to attack the South. It is because the north regards the action that the south joined a U.S.-led plan to check vessels suspected of carrying equipment for weapons of mass destruction as a war declaration. The situation becomes worse and worse. Furthermore, the north declared that it is going to quit the truce agreement. It indicates that the Korean Peninsula is no longer peaceful and warfare can happen at any time. The UN condemns this action and prepares to take action to stop the war between two countries. But the north seems to be very firm and get ready to face any difficulties. As everyone knows, the north is developing nuclear equipment though we do not know what it is for. So it is normal that the south is so nervous. I hope they can get back to negotiation table at once to avoid a worse situation.
There is another thing. After the swine flu spreads almost every corner of the world, Singapore finally suffered. Singapore has confirmed three more cases of Swine Flu. This brings the number of infected persons here to four. The second case is a 43-year-old Singapore PR who returned to Singapore from San Francisco via Manila on Tuesday. The third case of Swine Flu is a 28-year-old American woman working in Singapore. She returned to Singapore from Honolulu via Tokyo. It is hard to say where she was infected. The fourth patient is a 28-year-old Singaporean man who returned to Singapore from Chicago via Hong Kong on 25 May. They all came back to Singapore from the infected areas. However, I think the government will deal with this issue well, making it in control. Wish the disease disappear more quickly.
What I mentioned above are some current affairs. Maybe they do not make any sense. But, I think it is beneficial to know what is happening in the world.
