» Dear readers, if you were born in 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 or 1998 (the Year of the Tiger), read carefully. If you're looking forward to a rosy year ahead, you might be in for a major disappointment. Because 2016 is out to get you. If you scrape your car against a tree, get bitten by a dog, get pooped on the head by a pigeon, or end up on a delayed flight, remember that it might not be a pure coincidence. This year, for you, is filled with predestined mishaps.

» Last week, there was a controversial Facebook post circulating about a tragedy that has been deliberately silenced. The post was dedicated to the campaigning relative of a female college student who died of abuse a few years ago whilst training at a military camp. It was merely written by a journalist, who had been conscripted, on his personal Facebook page. However, due to the struggle of the woman fighting for justice, coupled with the journalist's first-hand experience of unfair treatment in the army, the post racked up more than 100,000 Likes in a short period of time.
