Last week, 40 years after the war ended, the US began a programme to try to decontaminate the worst-affected parts of the country, but even if the belated action grows into something far larger, it can never deal with the dreadful legacy of Agent Orange.

มีข่าวลือว่า ลีกวนยูตาย ก็เลยอยากให้อ่านประโยคนี้กัน จะได้เอาไว้พิจารณา ว่าประชาธิปไตยที่แท้จริง ควรจะเป็นอย่างไร
"Singapore’s minister of information, communications and the arts, Yaacob Ibrahim, has on several occasions called for bloggers and the like to come together and develop an “Internet code of conduct,” which would allow users to self-regulate discussion rather than having the government implement top-down controls on the Internet. Prominent bloggers have remained skeptical, arguing this would be a way of replicating old forms of media control in the city-state, though the information landscape has changed dramatically in the country in recent years, with expanded media freedoms."
The crowd cheers as Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew arrives Thursday at the Marina Bay Floating Platform for the annual National Day Parade celebrations in Singapore.
Mr. Lee suffers from a neurological disease that makes his movements unsteady, but otherwise has remained in good health. His wife, Kwa Geok Choo, passed away in 2010, and his younger brother, Freddy Lee, died this June after a battle with cancer.

Cambodians turn to social media to voice dissent | Asia | DW.DE | 10.08.2012 -http://www.dw.de/dw/article/0,,16158250,00.html
Since the state controls mainstream media in Cambodia, people in the country turn to social media to express their political opinions. Such media, however, are still in the early stages in the Southeast Asian country.
The mainstream Cambodian media hardly cover dissenting views and anti-government opinions or news about human rights violations in the Southeast Asian country nearly never make it into the press.
