Football captain became helicopter crash hero

Image
Scottish Frank McKeown worked all night as fireman at Glasgow crash scene before helping his team force a 1-1 draw. The last person who would ever think of Scottish footballer Frank McKeown as a hero is Frank McKeown. But to people around him... He didn't ask for the spotlight to be on him; but despite his humility, his story needs telling. And the support of everyone around him at one of the world's oldest football clubs, Stranraer FC, deserves the widest recognition possible. Frank is a fireman and on the early evening of Friday, November 29, set off for his overnight shift with the fire services in his home city of Glasgow. Sadly, this proved to be no ordinary shift. Shortly after 10:00 that evening, a helicopter suddenly plunged from the sky and crashed into the roof off the Clutha pub, a popular venue, at an extremely busy time. Ten people were killed, and over 30 were injured. It was a night of unimaginable horror that has deeply affected the people of t...

Malaysians still struggle on poverty line

Image
Sixty percent of Malaysians still live on less than $1,600 each month and struggle to buy basic necessities like food . How often do you check the prices of the food you are about to buy? When I go to the supermarket and I need soup, I buy soup. I look for the gluten free cereal and avoid the wholewheat. Do I choose the extra virgin olive oil or the lemon flavoured one? Could I tell you how much a litre of milk costs? No. The only time I’ve looked at the price of something is to consider whether $11 dollars is too much for a small container of raspberries. It is. But I’m well paid. I’m not one of the half million people in Malaysia living on the poverty line. Rural poverty Although the government has done an admirable job reducing poverty in the country since the Millennium Development Goals were introduced in 1990, there’s still a huge challenge ahead. The goal then – halve the number of people living on less than a dollar a day by 2015. That goal has already bee...

Interpreter at Mandela memorial dubbed a 'fake'

Image
To those outside the deaf community, the sign language interpreter for Nelson Mandela's memorial may have looked like he was working hard, translating the spoken words into gestures for four hours. But he has been dubbed "a fake," and his actions outraged deaf people, according to an association for the deaf community in South Africa. The service to commemorate the revered statesman, who died last week at the age of 95, was broadcast to millions of viewers around the world. While dignitaries addressed the crowd Tuesday at Johannesburg's FNB stadium, the unidentified suited man with a security pass produced a series of hand signals that experts say meant nothing. The Deaf Federation of South Africa (DeafSA) said the "interpreter" was not a recognized professional, nor was he known by the deaf community in the country. "The so-called 'interpreter' who interpreted at the official memorial service for late former president Nelson Mand...

United States Sends B-52s Over China Air Defense Zone

Image
The United States sent two B-52 bombers over China’s Air Defense Zone, without notifying Beijing. United States officials said on Tuesday, the two bombers went into a disputed area over the East China Sea challenging the country’s wish to expand its air zone. Both countries have been at odds over China’s intentions and today’s actions are a clear indicator Washington will show Beijing that it will push back at Chinese attempts to claim the area. The move by the United States also emphasizes the country’s strong relationship with Japan. Americans are participating in military exercises this week and together with Japan they will challenge China to the vast portion of Ocean. The United States and Japan have a long standing relationship dating back to after World War II and are giving China’s attempts at claiming that part of the sea a direct challenge. On Tuesday, the United States flew the two Air Force bombers in direct defiance of Beijing’s express wishes that they be ...

Nelson Mandela: 10 surprising facts you probably didn't know..

Image
He was loved and admired the world over, profiled in books and movies, and showered with awards and accolades. But even the most public of personalities have little-known facts buried in their biographies. Here are 10 surprising facts you probably didn't know about Nelson Mandela: 1. He lived up to his name: Mandela's birth name was Rolihlahla. In his Xhosa tribe, the name means pulling the branch of a tree or troublemaker. (The name "Nelson" was given to him by his teacher on his first day of elementary school. It's not clear why she chose that particular name. It was the 1920s, and African children were given English names so colonial masters could pronounce them easily). 2. He had a cameo in a Spike Lee film: He had a bit part in Spike Lee's 1992 biopic "Malcolm X." At the very end of the movie, he plays a teacher reciting Malcolm X's famous speech to a room full of Soweto school kids. But the pacifist Mandela wouldn't say "b...
