i saw this news on channel news Asia last night
when i read it, i was wondering how the people must have felt when they heard that their flights were cancelled.
never did i think that i was flying to japan the next day,
and that my flight was supposed to transit at that airport.

the next morning, my dad told us that our flight was cancelled.
obviously, since the airport cancelled all outgoing and incoming flights
i was stunned, and my sister went hysterical.
we were looking forward to this trip but this just had to happen.
all we could do was to pray.

after a while, we received another call from my dad.
thank the heavens, we got an alternate flight!
whats better was that we were taking a better plane!
we're going to fly on A380, the world's largest passenger plane.

miracles do happen after all,
and i hope those people stranded at the airport will get help soon.
it is not fair to them, they didn't deserve this kind of treatment
the airport staff have been extremely unfaithful.
in such times of crisis, they should have stayed back to help,
instead of running away cowardly.

i feel that the man should not have entered the cage to commit suicide.
when he did that, he not only affected the zoo's reputation but also traumatised the tourists there.
what if there were children at the scene?
wouldnt they be haunted by looking at the tigers drag the man to the back of the exhibit?
if he was really tired of living he could have done it discreetly, away from the public.
furthermore, there were people who actually wanted the zoo keepers to shoot the tigers!
white tigers are ENDANGERED.
in every 10,000 tigers only ONE is a white tiger.
it is senseless to shoot down the tigers for just one human, when there are so many humans on earth.
the man should not have even entered the enclosure.
tigers are aggressive by nature and they did that according to their own instincts.
if you saw a million bucks on the ground wouldnt you pick it up?
furthermore, if that man wants to die, why should we harbour his plans?
maybe he is really tired of living.
and he must have plucked up a lot of courage to enter the cage.
if we soiled his plan, he would have wasted all his effort trying!
thus, singaporeans shouldnt make a big issue out of it,
and shouldnt blame the tigers either.
