Oscar Pistorius Murder Charge, Europe Horsemeat Scandal & A Message To Malaysians.

            “You can run, but you cannot hide”. This may sound like some cliché Hollywood line, but apparently, it came into reality for the sports-world superstar, Oscar Pistorius. The South African also known as the “Blade Runner” is currently charged for the homicide of his girlfriend, the darling late Reeva Steenkamp. Being immersed in stardom for quite some time now, this is inevitably one hard blow for Oscar’s fans and well-wishers. The late Ms. Steenkamp, a model herself, was well-known and much admired among the masses. Trial is on course now and many theories or ideas on how the incident might have taken place, are flooding the courtroom. So far, Mr. Pistorius’s own affidavit (that he had mistaken Ms. Steenkamp for an intruder) is heatedly argued by the prosecution team. This double amputee who made the world astonished through his performance in the last London Olympics, has since the last few days caught the attention of many and making way for speculations to rife. Anyhow, the court proceeding in still on, and it is too preliminary to draw a conclusion.

            On another issue, the entire Europe is on red alert!No….it’s not the austerity measure or any economic downfall, but it’s now all about the horse-meat scandal. Ever since the past two weeks, Europeans mainly in France, Britain, Germany and Ireland have identified traces of horsemeat in edible beef products. Not only that, further laboratory findings have  discovered dangerous chemicals in those food products. Despite being removed from supermarket outlets’ shelves with immediate effect, consumer concerns have intensified remarkably. Many even went to the extent of cutting the consumption of beef from the daily diet intake. And as for the latest update in the grapevine, a supermarket in Hong Kong has faced the same issue and has taken appropriate measures. These developments ,globally, have sparked a tense situation in consumerism affairs. Interrogations in the affected states are currently on, and perhaps a good answer will be provided by the relevant authorities. Horse meat could be cheaper, but I’m never taking the risk.

P/S: This special segment is targeted to my Malaysian readers. The heat for the 13^th general Election is looming and in my observation, this has sparked discussion wherever you go. From a coffee shop in the Pavillion to a mamak’s roadside stall, election hype is intensifying. Both sides of the politics are aggressively championing many issues lately to grab attention and limelight. Votes are personal and you should decide on who should you vote for. Vote for BN if you opine that the coalition is capable to lead the nation with given mandate, NOT because you don’t like Pakatan Rakyat for no reason. The same thing vice-versa. For those IT-savvy voters, get pure and true news about a political party through sources that can be believed. Lastly, never make yourself too loyal to a political party. Supporting them is no wrong, but blindly offering your loyalty to a political party, is PREPOSTEROUS! Anyways, this is the election that I, myself am much anticipating!
