If I commit the “perfect murder” on my companion on a secluded, desolate island, what karma will I receive? I’m an ethical egoist and as such if the need arises to murder that person when there’s only two of us on a godforsaken island, I would be implored by my beliefs to kill him. But this is a highly theoretical scenario for we live in a metropolis where altruism benefits all of us and where murder is self-evidently transgressive of our moral standards. Apologies to all for hijacking the issue at hand to expound on my beliefs but I have to respond whenever I witness the deleterious pontifications of religious believers like Yang.

Those who dump their parents ought to be caned!

good work done!

thanks.

WHEN civil servant Gordon Yong, 39, needed to find a nursing home for his mother following her stroke, he found those here too expensive.
They were charging between $1,200 and $1,800 a month – far more than he could afford on his salary of under $4,000, which also supports his three-child family. His working wife also looks after her own parents.

He did the next best thing and got his mother a place in a home across the Causeway for $600 a month.

This is how his mum, Madam Leong Mew Peng, 80, came to live in Spring Valley Homecare in Johor Bahru (JB), less than half an hour’s drive from the Causeway.
