Recently there's earthquakes at Indonesia and Taiwan. The plates are moving, magma's flowing. Watch out for disasters which may happen soon.

Wrong thread, that would be the Asia Typhoon/Earthquake thread.

It is part of current affairs and will affect the economy. Fine then, since it's so strict here, this will be my last post in this thread.

Depends, if you are explaining, its Documentary thread. If its about showing the happening in individual countries, its News Thread. Asia typhoon/earthquake thread is on a larger scale based on facts and data set collection. If continuously monitoring situation such as Hurricanes and Typhoons, that thread works better concentration the news.

Ish about organisation. But I dun really restrict much here. Even musical thread is about different music genres. Because people are searching on internet, these few threads will come up top in the search as well. So what you post will be reflective to people in Singapore and around the world.

Example, the military thread is also read by both US and China ibs. So, dun be surprised.

I dun post a lot of news affecting economy, so if you want to, be my guest. I dun haveda block anyone here....I think...in edmw at least.

In Video conferencing across continents , there will be frame delays, sound delays. lol...yah...I am experience in this long before Covid period, so trust me in this.

Nothing to do with internet speed, more like data transmission over distancing.

IB please stay out, this is not a political thread as I have posted earlier in the thread. There are other political ones in the sub forums. Not for human right activist as well.

If You maintain objectiveness, you are welcome to join to contribute.

Dont get me wrong I am not here to derail your thread.
I saw a sub-forum about current affairs so I am wondering why are u doing this here.
I dont know how objective I am but if u were to expect a different response from a edmw traffic u might be disappointed soon.

Hmm...like other threads I have. People still follows them out of interest, and skip things that are not within their interest.

Supposed I stop posting for a week, they continues to search and revisit these threads. I still see number count rising over days.

Sometimes hard to draw a line too. In case it gets too drastic, too extreme, likely the admin will step in rather than myself ba. Sub forums pretty dead to me. Threads that moved to sub forum, I stop visiting them too. Too much policing is not good. I dun agree with what the administrator and moderator are doing too all the time.

At times, some forumers will just tell me relax brudder, in case I get too much fumes on my end.

Threads such as Emergency isn't TS by me. Because what I am sharing here is a very wide variety of topics. You see people of special profession coming in, they do the more detail explaining. In case they cannot bridge the gap, I will come in to explain in another way. In a way, I am an existence which is both complex and simple but who isn't? It takes a lot of self realisation to reach this state in the first place.

People just want to get away from too much Covid news in current times. So a bit of Covid news, a lot of other news might be appreciative to other people, else you won't see the counts jumping by hundreds.
