  Nikon D70 successor?

News sites around the web has cited a new flash on Nikon's Imaging website. The Flash hinting the release of a new DSLR to Nikon's lineup in 19 days. (2006/08/09)

In the Flash teaser, Nikon hinted that it's a 10.2 megapixel camera and it will be "Integrating quality and affordability to meet the demands of passionate photo enthusiasts". Along those lines, I'm pretty sure this new camera will be a targeting the amateur photographer market priced somewhere between the D200 and D70. Perhaps this new camera will compete with Canon's EOS 30D.

19 days to go.

  New Malaysians girls bully assault on a defenceless boy video on youtube!

After the losing of Germany to Italy and the firing of missiles by North Korea into the Sea of Japan, I couldn't feel more upset when I saw this video at kennysia.com After the bullying case in Kota Tinggi and Miri student assault, a new breed of bullies are copying the style of the Mirian bullies and taking it to new heights.

An innocent boy as seen in the video was assaulted with an arsernal of brutal weapons. Taking numerous lethal blows, the boy finally pass out while we are presented once again with that "cute acting" peace from one of the cuter girls.

I'm personally shock and disbelieved at where the country's future is heading.

  Miri Girl Bullies : The suspense
Yesterday The Star published an article with comments from the Sarawak Teachers Union. The Malay Mail on the other hand released an article which focus on comments from various blogs which reflects the views of disgusted net citizens. Link are provided below.

Today's Star on page 3 annouced the suspension of the girls from school. They would suspended until further notice of the punishment to be carried out which is being decided by the education ministry officials. The heaviest punishment to be handed down is expulsion.

I support the Sarawak teacher union's president appeal to the education ministry to give the offending students a second chance. Expelling the students is a common practice in Malaysia for the education system to exclude problematic youngsters from under their name. In the end - however bad they may be for their unforgivable actions - these people will end up on the streets. As the government and general public has rejected them, where else would they go besides joining up with evil forces. Instead of helping them understand their wrongs and giving another chance back into society we would drive them deeper to the wrong path. In the future they will still be a social problem but I don't think education ministry would care about things not under their supervision.

Having said above, I however disagree about the Sarawak teacher union's president thought about the incident happening because of emotional outburst and his denial of gangsterism in Sarawak schools. He probably never seen the video. About gangsterism amongst students, only students with such friends would know. Any adult who sees the streets from the frontpage news and gossips know only too little of the underground community that lives and breath with ours.

  Miri Girl Bullies : Unfolds...but doesn't add up..
I really have to praise the peninsular press for the continuous update on the situation in Miri, Sarawak, across the South China Sea while the Miri papers write reports on roofs being blow of by strong wind.

Now more insight into the issue with an article from The Star:

Boyfriend talk sparked off attack

I'm not sure if the reports are accurate in that article because early in the video, the bullies asked the victim "Did you tell other people that I beat you?". But in The Star, the report says that the victim made negative comments about the boyfriend about one of the bullies that resulted to the assault.

For a school principal to deny relations to the incident by saying the students might not be his student (St Joseph students are the only school that wears blue ties and in the video you can see clearly, some are wearing the ties) and they might be just playing around (when interviewed by reporters), I don't think we can fully trust their findings. This might not yet be the full story.
