When I was young, my parents are usually the way for me to get the new about the world out there. Obviously, I was too young to read the newspaper and watch the news. My parents would tell me ‘ do not talk with strangers or even follow them if they ask you to follow them and claims that they are your parents friend’. Other than that, my parents would also tell me do not accept food from strangers’ . I was too young to understand the reason why. But, now I understand. The world out there is not safe . strangers can lie to us. Meanwhile, the next source of information I get is from school. Every school has a bulletin board where students can get information and it is usually updated weekly. Besides that, I also get news from my friends, but depends on whether the news is interesting or not.
When I was 10 years old, I lived with my grandparents in their house. One day, it was already midnight, and my uncle dashed into my room and wake us up. He was watching CNN on the living room, and he said that the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City was crashed by two airlines, killing many people. It was live on CNN. Because of that news , It gave me an impact. I was afraid that it would happen to us here in KL. On the other hand, another major news came up.
on the 24th of December 2004, tsunami hits Indonesia. But Penang was affected as well. I had a silly thinking that KL will be hit by Tsunami as well. But of cause, now it’s different. Radio is also one of the technology where I get the news . they usually announce news about local and also international. Other than that, there are also sports. But now in the 21st century, everyone gets to read the news through the internet, like I do. It is so convenient for me , I can read the news anytime and everytime just for free. Sometimes, when I was busy, I would receive the news through instant text message. The news I received daily actually keeps me constantly update about the world out there. No matter local news or news from the other country. It help me to be alert and know that there are many crimes that is happening without us knowing .

On Tuesday, a video of a man abusing a dog has set everyone on heat which cause massive response from pet lovers on social network website , Facebook. This triggered a nationwide to hunt for him. This man is believed to be a Malaysian, was using brutal force on a poodle to get the dog to stand up. When the dog stand on its four fit, the man became violent and smack it for several time then send it flying. According to the person who uploaded the video said that she had found it in a pendrive which she had found in a shopping mall at Kuala Lumpur. Future more, there were 15 police report that has been lodged against the abuser.
This has given the nation a big impact including me. I am truly upset about what has happen to the poodle. We as human should not abuse pets, but instead, we should love it. Like what people usually say, dogs are mans best friend. I hope that the government would take serious action towards this abuser. This also should be a wake up call to other people out there who has a history of dog abuse.
INTERNATIONAL:
On the early Friday, a ferry full with people was caught on fire in Indonesia which has killed at least 11 passengers. Some of them went panic and jumped into the sea .Meanwhile, at least 200 people were injured. According to the Transport Ministry, Bambang Erwan , he claims that the fire broke out just 40 minutes after the ship depart from Java island heading towards Sumatra. By the late morning, the rescuers had successfully save 427 people. However, the cause of the accidents has not been clarified yet, but some survivors said that it was started by a man who threw his lit cigarette onto the deck.
I feel that the man who threw the lit cigarette is truly irresponsible. He should not simply throw his cigarette everywhere. Furthermore, I thought there were rules that passengers are not suppose to smoke everywhere as they like? What happen to that rule? I think that the authority should put more signs of ‘ no smoking’ around the ship . the government should also strengthen the rules and have heavy punishments to whom that smokes in the ship in the future.
