He used to be unfraid of death, but tan chor jin, better known as the one-eyed dragon now wants to live longer. Tan, who has been sentenced to death for the shooting and killing of a man, told criminal lawyer suhas anandan that he now wants to delay his execution so he can spend more time with his son.

Subhas memoirs, "The Best I Could" recount subhas's experience with Tan in August this year when he visited him to sign parole papers. Tan had said that he chances of getting the President's parole were very slim, but this was his last chance to escape the gallows, and that if he do not want to appeal against his sentence, it was his choice to make.

Tan thought about it and said that he hoped to delay his execution so that he can spend more quality time with his 2 year old son who had recently called him papa. Suhas suggested that he write down his wishes in the migitation plea.

Suhas had also acted for Leong Siew Chor was convicted of strangling and chopping up his 22-year-old chinese's lover corpse. In his last meeting with subhas, leong admited his guilt and expressed that he deserve the sentence.

Subhas anandan has handled many high-profile criminal cases. His memoirs contain his insights and experiences over 12 other cases, including some disclosed matters such as in the child killer Took Leng Howwhere employees from the Pasir Pagang Wholesale Markets gave him leads on the case.

The memoir chares his thoughts on the career, his personal life and years of growing up. A little known fact is he had a stroke at age 31 and was lucky to escape death. Also, he had made out a loan of $25,000 to the former Law Society President Francis Seow who had yet to repay the loans.

The book showcases his straight-talking persona and features bold comments on issues such as his views on the arrogance and competitiveness of his Raffles Insitution students.

The terribly wrecked merlion stoneworks

The new had broad-cast in details that the merlion statue got a conspicuous crack on the centre-butt. I personally was a big fan of merlion been to wonder what had gone wrong to it, as years as I could remember the statue had been for more than a decade , experts said there wasn't any defect or fragile parts. They said I might happen to be because of the torrentially bad rainy weather and a struck of lightning which cause the crack. So many tourist visitors and by-standers each got different views toward after looking at the incredulous sight. Some think it symbolizes bad omen, especially since this is an economically downturn year for Singapore. They authorities had yet to send some repairman to do a thorough check, also to come out with some alternative solutions to prevent such an incident from happening in the near future. Moreover, precautionary measures are put in place to ensure the public' safety. While many of us said it all happen during a fortnight whereby the rain was at its maximum. I think they may need to install lightning conductor to resist the impact of the lightning. For the time being, I think these symbolize the arrival of more inflations and economic downturn. But I will pray for the country safe and prosperity. In contrary, I just hope everyone can help a play a part in ensuring Singapore stability and economic goodwill.
