The largest city, Yangon was battered for over ten hours by the storm. Homes were flattened, more sturdy structures damaged, trees uprooted and power lines downed. In rural parts of the country up to 95 per cent of all homes were destroyed. The current death toll has been estimated to bemore than 100,000 and up to 1 million people have been displaced from the aftermath of the storm.

TO ALL THE MOMS Yes, and so today is Mother's Day, but even thoughwe give thanks to their dedication to us kids, we don't really know all the shit that they have to go through.

A humorous take on mother's daily life and what she would say in a 24 -hour period, condensed into roughly 3 minutes. Not an easy feat, but hell this woman didit and was she great or what?

HAVE YOU NOTICED? If you've ever wandered past the Istana, you'll be sure to chance upon several soldiers donning khaki coloured hats with their vulture eyes glaring upon you until you leave their sight. These are known as the Gurkhas, the famed warriors from Nepal, whose motto "Better to die than be a coward" has made them legends. Their fierce combat skills, loyalty and vaunted courage have made them a respected - and feared - sight in the eyes of opposing armies. Ironically, with them being a force to bereckoned with, they're also the world's only known mercenary army with several nations hiringthem for their lethal prowess and bravado. Some 40,000 Gurkhas currently serve in the Indian Army and another 3,400 in the British Army. Singapore's Police Force has its own contigent of 2,000 Gurkhas. -----------------------------------------------DID YOU KNOW? Just recently, the newly elected Nepalese Government has pondered over the idea oferadicating the two-century-old tradition of Gurkhas going abroad to serve. They have seen this act as a form of utter humiliation and find the idea of their ownsoldiers fighting for foreign armies degrading. -----------------------------------------------A SCENARIO Let's say, should this possibility become a reality, how do you think this will affect Singapore? With our dependence on the Gurkhas to protect our national interest sudenly taken away, will our security be compromised or can we depend on ourselves instead? Or perhaps, they're more than just mercenaries, with them being anintegral part of our nation's history. ----------------------------------C L I Q U E : FORUM Feel free to share your views and opinions with us by leaving your comments after this post.
