Little match children

According to studies, approximately more than a quarter of children in China are victims of physical abuse. Those who are taken for granted are mostly susceptible to physical damage especially those who are staying in residential school institutions because some elders who might defend them are apart from them.

These children who are taken for granted can be suspects or victims of the crime. Recently this year, a prostitution enclosure in Macao was defeated. Teenage crimes are increasing in China which may well in part since ignored children are also increasing. Those young individuals who are involved in crimes are made up of two-thirds of Chinese children who came from rural areas in 2010. When they are caught, most of the ignored or migrant children are immediately brought in prison since the courts hesitant to give trial because they don’t have guardians. The migrant workers in Shanghai get probation in only fifteen percent of cases unlike with 63 percent of cases engaging teenage crimes in the region.

Considering the damage that left behind affect to the health of children, education and mental growth, it’s easy to picture out that there is negative effects not only to those young individuals but also to the society. The occurrence is efficiently recent that there is limited convincing proof of higher crimes, anti-social response and others. In addition to the suffering of the ignored ones by judging those young individuals to be criminals would evidently add injustice to their suffering.

Understanding Malaysia’s Pivotal General Election

The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak dismissed the two hundred twenty two positions in parliament in order to make it easier for the country to implement the general election.  Taking part actively in the election campaign has been in a state of extreme excitement for many months and even powerful for the upcoming weeks.

In year 1959, Malaysia had their first vote and the alliance, Barisan Nasional (BN or National Front) had a great influence in the election system that made them won the election without difficulty.

However, the 2008 general election signified a change in the state of mind of the voters. The BN didn’t keep the two-thirds of the parliamentary which had a great number in the national legislature and this led its power to make minor changes in the constitution as well as five of thirteen national elections. The unexpected accomplishment in the vote of the competitor, the alliance of Pakatan Rakyat (PR or People’s Alliance), gave a new strength and vitality to their politics and helped them voiced out their concerns to the present administration.

Both alliances have raised up their election campaigns for what could lead to a vital moment in the history of Malaysia’s election.

Prime Minister Najib Razak is very consistent on his acceptance rating which is above sixty percent. On the other hand, the alliance of BN is very low which has a rating of forty five percent and it is the focus of many accusation of corruption and appointing friends and associates to position in authority without considering their qualifications. It is also expected that the rank of Malaysia in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index is not changing for many years since 1995 until now.

Save Cats and Dogs in South Korea from Brutal Deaths

Two million cats and dogs are being caught by slaughters and sold in public markets for people consumption. Dogs and cats experience an extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury like dogs which are killed by electric shock, choked and cats which are beat repeatedly and burned alive. Even though few minority South Koreans consumes the meat of cats and dogs, the industry develop well because of the perpetuation of lies and the lack of interest and concern of government.

Many South Koreans believe that cats and dogs are the kind of animals with whom they could spend a lot of time or when travelling. In 1991, South Korea’s Animal Protection Law was implemented which recognizes them as “domestic pets.” With reference to past events, South Koreans have only consumed dogs during the times of extreme poverty, yet even before they were still considered as companion animals. However, few people still believed the folk tale that cat and dog meat have healing properties.

It is rated that there are about six thousand five hundred institutions in South Korea that market cats and dogs. Unauthorized and diseases-ridden dog farms exist all around rural areas of the country, where dogs are being kept and sold to slaughters. The officers of South Korea should make an effort to implement animal protection laws in order to rescue poor cats and dogs from hideous deaths.
