Chaos

The financial world is in turmoil. One bank falls and another gets absorbed. A ripple in the US economy can cause tsunamis all over the world but now a storm is already unleashed. Just compare the decline this year for the Shanghai Composite Index versus Dow Jones Industrial Index will suffice; 60% versus 13.8%.

Our neighbouring countries are in political turmoil. A leader get ousted while another simply refuses to get ousted. Using too many tactics might cause its downfall.

The hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are lashing out on as many places as possible. Places from Central America & US to Taiwan are affected by the catastrophes.

Even babies are not spared (by the tainted milk powder problem in China).

The newspapers nowadays should be renamed the 'bad news' paper.
