60 years

60 years (or probably longer) and still counting….that’s how long the suffering of the Palestinian people have been…this past two weeks has since seen a number of things unravel. Firstly, an idiot sniper did something silly to humiliate Muslims in

Iraq

..then a so-called leader had the guts to visit a middle eastern country and begged for them to increase oil production and then flew to another Arab nation gave an utter bull of a speech lashing out at Arab nations..argh, this is what the world has been..







p/s: a quake recently felt in sabah was too close a call…emm..Praying hard that

Malaysia

does not experience any other catastrophe/disaster..

Cyclone = - supply

What really struck me these days are the various events that have been occuring throughout the globe……for instance the catastrophic & disastrous cyclone in

Myanmar

..over 20,000 people dead, with more than 40,000 more missing. Besides the loss of lives,

Myanmar

was also (in one day) transformed from being a major exporter of rice to a net importer of rice. The paddy fields were simply flooded and destroyed in a blink of the eye. Then comes the HFMD outbreak that has been affecting a couple of countries..then the comes the giant sinkhole in

Texas

which has been ‘gobbling’ houses, electricity post etc.. when you sum up all these events, it makes you stop and ponder for a moment. With the erratic weather and global environmental problems, are we actually heading for a global food crisis? Sounds scary but everyone should think about it. With global food supplies outstripped by the exuberant demand, how long can the world population sustain..





p/s: food glorious food..no more.
