Honey, is Bentley ok?
ANYBODY outside of Singapore who saw photos of submerged cars, rescue workers carrying people to safety and other scenes of chaos and devastation caused by Orchard Road’s mega washout on Wednesday would be forgiven for not believing their eyes. A natural disaster sweeping through Singapore? After all, a lady interviewed on TV hit the nail on the head when she disbelievingly said that she never thought something like this could happen in a first world country. It’s true that such scenes are more likely to be associated with developing countries but if you look closely enough, you would be able to see the tell-tale signs that such a disaster has taken place in Singapore. How can you tell? Easy. Just check out our list of the top 10 differences between a flash flood in a developing country and one in Orchard Road: 10 In Orchard Road, the only bodies you see floating in the water are the mannequins from Massimo Dutti. 9 Anguished men rush home to their families, crying, "Oh my god, is the Murcielago/ Bentley/Ferrari all right?" or "Check the cable TV reception - can we still watch the World Cup?!" 8 Singaporeans do not really know how to loot. Instead of taking whatever beauty products they can find floating in the water, they wait to see if something more valuable will float by, such as a camera or a leather iPhone cover. Other more enterprising looters will insist that rescue workers carry them to the Hermes boutique, just in case a slightly soiled Birkin floats by. 7 Rescue workers have trouble carrying out submerged patrons from Starbucks or Wendy’s because they won’t leave until they get a voucher for a replacement meal. 6 People are taking photos to upload on their Facebook pages. 5 Rescued victims will lodge complaints that their rescuers took their umbrellas to help other people and did not return them. 4 Firefighters have to counsel drivers still in their cars half submerged in water, muttering to themselves, "I can make it, I can make it ...." 3 Bystanders are watching the same drivers along the sidelines, placing bets on whether they will make it. 2 After the same drivers are finally extricated from their cars, they can be heard muttering on the side of the road, "The weather forecasters did this. That dummy from Massimo Dutti did this." 1 Stranded commuters insist that rescuers send them to their workplaces in their civil defence vehicles. And so ends an exciting week in Singapore. So if you ever thought that the only interesting thing happening during this World Cup season was learning a new African word, vuvuzela, think again. Yes, it took a clogged drain in Tanglin to create this nationwide calamity, but well, the next time it happens, we’ll keep you updated on the most worthwhile looting locations. |

More Chinese women getting breast
More Chinese women getting breast
A growing number of Chinese women are suffering from breast cancer due to unhealthy diets, a poor environment and increased stress at work, experts have said.
The latest figures from the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention show the incidence of the disease in Beijing and Shanghai has spiked in the past decade.
In the capital, about 45 women out of every 100,000 currently have the disease, 23 percent more than in 1997.
In Shanghai, the number is 55 in 100,000, up 31 percent in the past decade.
A recent survey by the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association showed an even higher rate in Shanghai - with 60 women in 100,000 suffering from the disease, equivalent to about 4,500 new cases every year. In 1972, the figure was just 17 in 100,000.
Professor Qiao Youlin of the Cancer Institute and Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences said Monday: "Unhealthy lifestyles are mostly to blame for the growing numbers.
"Researchers found that just 10 percent of the cases are due to heredity.
"Chinese women, especially those living in cities, should pay extra attention to their health and examine their breasts for any suspicious lumps on a monthly basis," he told China Daily.
Symptoms to look out for include unusual pains in the breasts or armpits, he said.
Qiao said women should quit smoking and drinking alcohol, stop using cosmetics that contain estrogen, exercise more, go to bed earlier and cut down on oily foods.
Retired English teacher Dai Weiwen was diagnosed with a malignant tumor at the mid-stages of the disease in late 2000. The 61-year-old Shanghai resident said she had been aware of the tumor for nearly a decade before it got worse.
"I tired easily but thought it was from work," she said.
Dai had her left breast removed when the cancer cells spread, but her condition is now stable. She is now involved in programs aimed at tackling the disease around the world.
Qiao said more needs to be done to raise awareness of the disease.
