I may close this blog
I started this blog in 2006 and it has outlived its purpose. These days I don't have much info on what is going on in the airline as many of my contacts had retired from flying. After 18 years of blogging I feel sad to terminate this blog. However, it won't be so soon but perhaps by the middle of 2025 when I am supposed to renew payment for its url.

Crime is on the rise in Japan
The overall picture is quite bad as the crime rate is rising in Japan. Big cities like Tokyo, Osaka etc are seeing more crime than where I am residing i.e. Fukuoka.
At my place which is the city of Kitakyushu, FUK, the crime rate has gone up to 500+ per 100,000 residents. This is an increase of 20+%. House breaking and robbery is what I am talking about. Near my home, people are installing security cameras and devices to deter crime.
A konbini near my place was robbed at knife point and an office safe was carted away in broad daylight!
The main reason for higher theft is due to high cost of living and many are without job. An example is a 5 kg back of rice we used to buy was about S$15 and now 5 months later the same cost S$30 which is a 100% increase. A cabbage used to sell for $1 is now $5. There was long queues if there is cheap offer for items in the supermarkets..example: a supermarket near my house was offering a cabbage for $1 and the queue was exceptionally long. Not only that there were arguments and people almost came to blows because of irritation due to the long wait. This is the first time we encounter such an incident. My mother-in-law told us that the Japanese would fight over food only during war time!

I was accused of protecting the IFS
I had some bad comments following my video on Capt Lobster. I deleted most of them. I think the commenters were cockpit crew. They claimed I was biased to back the IFS who hid the lobster from the capt! They told me I should not backed a liar...haha...

RIP Dr Lee Wei Ling
Dr Lee Wei Ling the daughter of the late SG PM Lee Kuan Yew passed away yesterday aged 69. RIP Dr Lee.
Many years ago I had Dr Lee on my flight. During transit in HK she went for a jog escorted by a few bodyguards.
Dr. Lee was an unassuming passenger and it was an honour to have served her.

Ex Singapore minister of transport S. Iswaran
S. Iswaran was sentenced to 12 month jail starting 7 Oct 2024. My take is that he will be released after 8 months because the Conditional Remission Order may applied to his case. He is lucky not to share his cell with other prisoners due to his ex position. However, the toilet in his cell is a squatting type and he is also given 2 blankets and a mat to sleep on. No bed will be provided.
