When I first read about the soldier who managed to bring a SAR21 to Orchard Road, I thought, “Cool.” I mean, how often do we get news as interesting as that? So much for all the expensive advertisements boasting of a skilled and disciplined fighting force; even a whole rifle can be brought out of [...]
Adakah masih layak dipanggil “akhbar”, jika berita yang dipampangkan besar-besar di muka depannya ialah tentang kematian pemain gusti WWE, Chris Benoit? Berita itu telah mengisi hampir separuh ruang berita halaman depan Berita Harian Singapura semalam (27 Jun 2007).
