Local News:
Taxi Drivers should be ethical
Starmetro, Thursday,11st april 2013
More passengers share unpleasant
encouter
with errant KL cabbies.
Eg
. Taxi drivers are predators who hunt their victims and chase after their money with no conscience.
Setting their own rates is absolutely ridiculous and unreasonable. They give reasons like traffic jams to take another road when they all want is to charge higher fares.Slide3

Elisa
Farhana Zulkiflee in recounting her experience said: As I got off the bus from Malacca at
Kl
Sentral
recently, I was approached by at least 10 taxi drives. They harassed me to take their taxis.
The standard rate from KL
sentral
to Shah
Alam
is about RM 40 but they quoted RM 80, reasoning that it was midnight. Which justified higher rates.Slide5

International news:
Nova Scotia teen
Rehtaeh Parsons was ‘disappointed to death
’
Sunday 14
th
april
2013
Rehtaeh
Parsons wasn’t bullied to death, her dad says. Glen Canning says the Nova Scotia teen was “disappointed to death” by people she felt let her down, including police, her school and friends. She felt an entire community had turned its back on her, and she sought suicide to end the pain.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
spoke for many
when he said that as a parent he was “sickened seeing a story like this.” There’s a point at which “bullying” doesn’t begin to describe the violence that is being inflicted on some vulnerable young people in our midst, he said. “It is youth criminal activity. It is violent criminal activity. It is sexual criminal activity. And it is often Internet criminal activity.” And sadly, it can be lethal.Slide7

After an 18-month battle with suicidal thoughts,
Rehtaeh hanged herself on April 4 and died three days later. Her mother Leah Parsons says the teen’s ordeal
began in 2011 when she was 15 and was sexually assaulted by four youths at a house party. The family says one of the teens took a
cellphone
photo of her being assaulted, and it was passed around the town of Cole
Harbour
and her school through email and social media. Students called her a “slut” when she walked through the school. Friends turned against her. Youths tormented and propositioned her online. Slide8
