The news article which I read online dated 27 December 2010 was about a woman who exposes butt crack at coffee shop. “She was talking to her friends while exposing her butt crack.”
It is an common sight to see people especially girls and aunties exposing their butts in public places, whether done purposely or not. It is impossible for them not knowing that they are exposing so much of their flesh unknowingly. “Surely the cool air will give a breezy sensation to her skin or is her skin too thick to feel it?” Perhaps this auntie is too lazy to even pull up her pants and just can’t be bothered with it. But why do people want to dress in such low hip body pants to risk exposure of their butts and get unwanted attention from the public? There are also some people who may be exposing their butt cracks knowingly and they feel that it’s a trend and fashion to expose their butt crack.
Due to the rising trend of skinny low- rise jeans which has been made popular by fashion critics, exposure of butt cracks especially by women is getting common nowadays. By exposing your butt crack knowingly or unknowingly will not only get unwanted attention and it’s likely to put off people’s appetite. I hope that all males and females will have the decency to pull down your shirt and only surface your buttocks only when you are in the toilet or sleeping.

The news article which I read online dated 25th December 2010 was about a secondary school boy posing with a cigarette pack. “He seems to be enjoying himself while taking the photos,” the STOMPer wrote.
In Singapore, persons under the age of 18 are not allowed to smoke, carry or purchase cigarettes. And yet, this boy who is wearing his school uniform seems to be enjoying himself while posing with the cigarettes. Did he get these cigarettes from his parents or friends? I feel that parents who do smoke do give a bad influence on their child and they will learn from them. Even if school tried their best to teach them, letting them know that smoking is bad for health and will cause yellow teeth, difficulty breathing or even lung cancer, etc they might think that they won’t be that unlucky to get lung cancer because their parents smoke more than them and yet, they are still as healthy as ever. Perhaps adults should try to not to smoke in front of their children or even try getting rid of the habit to smoke?
I feel that the school ought to give educational speech and let these students know that smoking is unhealthy and the dire consequences of smoking. There is a need for the school to let these teenagers know that smoking is not cool and also it will harm your body.

The news article which was dated online 15 December 2010, was regarding a sales manager who used camera pen to film women on escalators. He would clip the innocuous-looking pen to the side of his laptop bag. While going up the escalator, he would switch it on and place the bag under the skirt of women standing in front of him. He always targeted women wearing mid-length to short skirts, in places such as AMK hub, Compass Point and Junction 8. Videos were then transferred to his laptop and burned into a CD. He did all these just to obtain sexual thrills.
Are all these happening because girls are wearing too skimpily nowadays? People take advantage of cell phones, to capture video that they should not be. With small videos, they prowl around shopping malls and lurk around. And when they saw the victims, they start taking video of them unknowingly.
I feel that there is a need for girls to be cautious when walking up the stairs or escalators. They should be more alert with the people around them.

The news article which I read online dated 6 December 2010 was regarding a customer who was pissed with KFC by their actions. This customer bought a ‘Bargain Deal’ consisting of six-piece chicken, two cups of whipped potato, one cup of coleslaw and three cans of Pepsi from KFC delivery. They came without chilli sauce, spoons and napkins. Hence, this customer called and gave feedback. He requested for these items to be delivered to his house.
However, KFC delivered one big bag consisting of the spoons, chili sauce and napkins. The customer counted it and there were 72 packets of chilli sauce, 31 spoons and 32 napkins. Is KFC trying to be sarcastic or are they really apologetic?
If I were the customer, I believed I would be pissed by their actions. KFC doesn’t even seem apologetic at all! It just seems to be like KFC is not happy with the feedback that they received and they are trying to show their attitude by giving one big bag of chilli, spoons and napkins when I had only ordered a ‘Bargain Deal’. 72 packets! Even with two hands, you won’t even grab until 72 packets of chilli sauce. KFC might be thinking that I’m making a fuss out of it that just because of some chilli and napkins; I called and gave a feedback. However, it may be possible that the customer’s intention is to just give them a reminder so that they would not be so forgetful in the future.
Hence, I feel that there’s a need for KFC to apologize to the customer.

The news article which I read online dated December 1, 2010 was about a picture of youths fooling around with weapons. There was this guy in school uniform who wields a sword and pretends to behead his classmate.
After reading this article, I wonder why more and more people are carrying weapons around. Is it to protect themselves from gang attacks or is it possible that these people are involve in gang fights as well? I feel that the teachers in the school should stop them and let them know how severe it is to bring weapons around. Previously, a STOMPer came across pictures of youths posing with samurai swords and smoking in their school uniform. Another STOMPer was also shocked to see pictures of youths posing a parang and a cigarette on the MRT. These two youths were recently arrested but now out on bail and under investigation.
Teens seem to be walking around fearlessly with weapons, even with islandwide raids and arrests, in relation to the murder of 19 year old Darren Ng at Downtown East and the Bukit Panjang attacks, have been carried out. The increase in youth violence and teenagers carrying knifes are worrying trends. I seriously hope that the government can do something to help the situation.
