20 years ago today, the horrific terror attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York City changed the world forever.
The danger to us was nearer than we imagined. We discovered among us a terrorist group that was planning similar attacks on multiple targets here. Fortunately ISD acted in time to prevent this, and subsequent attacks.
The greater threat for multi-racial and multi-religious Singapore was not physical, but whether this would damage our social cohesion. We drew on the trust built up over many years among our different communities and with the Government. Working together, we overcame powerful forces unleashed by the extremist attacks that could have pulled us apart.
The fight against terrorism is far from over. Digital media has allowed extremist ideologies to spread and poison minds. At the same time, our racial harmony is still work in progress. On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, let us resolve to fortify ourselves so that should we ever face another such test one day, we will come through again, stronger, as one united people.

國際送子彈,極速射到
「國際送子彈」報導系列,啱啱半個鐘前射到,有啲應該未收到,睇下有咩反應先。
《The New York Times》
China Pushes New Security Law for Hong Kong, Increasing Party’s Sway
https://nyti.ms/2TuIarE
//The process would effectively circumvent the Hong Kong government, undercutting the relative autonomy granted to the territory under a political formula known as “one country, two systems.”//
(個做法明顯要撓過香港政府,削弱所謂「一國兩制」之下叫做有啲嘅自治權。)
《BBC》
China proposes controversial Hong Kong security law
https://bbc.in/3g9Qoiy
//Will the law draw protests?
It is almost certain to do so, both in Hong Kong and abroad.//
(會唔引發抗爭?肯定會啦,仲要香港同海外一齊呀。)
《The Guardian》
China proposes controversial national security law for Hong Kong
https://bit.ly/2yr9b84
//The largely rubber-stamp body kicks off its full annual session on Friday in Beijing.On Thursday evening the National People’s Congress confirmed its agenda would discuss “establishing & improving the legal system & enforcement mechanisms for Hong Kong to safeguard national security”//
(個橡皮圖章議會聽日開始,議程已公布咗討論所謂「建立同改進香港嘅法治同執法制度,保障國家安全」。)
《The Washington Post》
China to impose sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, bypassing city’s legislature
https://wapo.st/36nC2Xd
//For the United States to treat Hong Kong as a separate entity, mostly for commercial purposes, the State Department must certify that the city retains “a high degree of autonomy” from China. Pompeo said its latest decision on this was still pending.//
(對於美國黎講,將香港視為獨立個體嘅主要原因,係要美國國務院認為香港可以保持「高度自治」,不過Pompeo話依家就要諗清楚喇。)
《Rueters》
China supports 'improvement' of Hong Kong's political system
https://reut.rs/3bXBgSc
//The high degree of autonomy promised to Hong Kong for 50 years under the “one country, two systems” arrangement has helped it thrive as a financial centre, while Macau is a major gambling centre.//
(「一國兩制」之下「五十年不變」呢個承諾,係令香港成為國際金融中心嘅原因,澳門?靠賭㗎喎!)
#唔該大膽啲
#直接宣布一國一制
#正式確認違反中英聯合聲明

★ 30 RACIST Asian Slurs That May Piss You Off: https://youtu.be/6tHs9wrqiPY
★ Asian Stereotypes Checklist: https://youtu.be/hrJbxLu9MiE
With National Adoption Month in the US coming up in November, and the recent drama involving the most high profile entry on this list, it seems an appropriate time to make this video.
1. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is who everyone thinks of when it comes to a Hollywood celebrity with an adopted Asian child. Actually she has two, Maddox from Cambodia and Pax from Vietnam.
In 2001, Jolie applied to adopt 7 month old, Rath Vibol from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia. Unfortunately, this didn’t seem to go well. The adoption process was halted soon after when the US government banned adoptions from Cambodia amid allegations of child trafficking.
When it was all said and done, when the investigation was over, fortunately for Jolie, the adoption of Rath Vibol was deemed lawful. Jolie brought him back to the States and renamed him Maddox. 5 years later, Maddox became older brother to Pax, who Jolie adopted from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
Today, Maddox is a regular 15 year old kid, who can sometimes be seen with a shaggy bleached blonde mohawk, and who has a long distance girlfriend who lives in England.
Unfortunately, 2016 marked the end of Brangelina, as Angelina Jolie & husband Brad Pitt are now going through a Hollywood divorce involving 6 kids.
2. Katherine Heigl
Heigl actually grew up with an older sister, Meg, who was adopted from South Korea.
Heigl says: “I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea.”
Her husband singer/songwriter, Josh Kelley initially questioned whether Heigl’s vision for their family was indeed right for him.
In 2009, she got the call from the Korean adoption agency that there was a baby girl for her to adopt named Mi-Eun. There was one issue though, she had a congenital heart defect and had recently undergone open heart surgery.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding her well-being, her future health, Heigl opted to adopt Mi-Eun, naming her Naleigh.
3. Ewan McGregor
McGregor has been in many documentaries including one called Long Way Round where he goes on a 19000 mile journey from London To New York City on a motorcycle, traveling through Europe and Asia, visiting several UNICEF programs along the way.
It was on this trip in 2004, passing through Mongolia, where he met 2 year old Jamyan, an abandoned orphan. Soon afterwards, he adopted her.
4. Meg Ryan
The star of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle & You’ve Got Mail, was elated, when, in 2006, she was notified by the Chinese adoption agency that they had assigned her a 14 month old baby girl. I say assigned because the adoption process in China is like a lottery system, and Ryan had no say in the selection process of her child, who she later named Daisy True
Despite Daisy being randomly assigned to her, Ryan has stated “I am convinced, completely that there was nothing random about it. She is the daughter I should have.”
5. John McCain
Right now the world is watching Hillary & Trump tear each other to bits. 8 years ago it was Obama & McCain going at it for the presidency.
While McCain, was able to become the republican presidential nominee in 2008, his previous attempt in 2000 failed. He had lost to George W. Bush in large part due to an underground smear campaign that falsely claimed McCain had fathered a black child.
In actuality, that ‘black child’ was Bridget, his daughter that he adopted from Bangladesh. Bridget was Bengali, and Bengali people are darker skinned.
Many people said the McCains should be ashamed of her color. The vile campaign had voters being called up by the thousands, being informed that McCain had a black baby and that was reason enough to not vote for him.
Funnily enough, John McCain did not know of his wife’s decision before hand and when he arrived at the Arizona airport to pick her up from her trip from Bangladesh, he was confused as to why his wife was holding a dark Asian baby.
He asked ‘who is she?’ and ‘where is she going?’
Cindy replied ‘To our house’
Despite the initial shock, he has said that Bridget has since enriched their lives.
