Sounds like a hired hit, possibly random. They were probably followed from the airport. Spotting the Japanese businessman is not so difficult. Causing a crime in Malaysia is.

With respect to the band. They should keep their lyrics in Japanese. Otherwise its just cut & paste, and a lot of cliche.

I knew a grad student (chemistry) from Kyoto University. He left because they were so committed to developing for business sake rather than research for progress sake. Sounds like they are breeding intellectual robots for the production line.

Why doesn't the gov subsidize for LED lighting to be installed in every house.
YongYang: Japan does seem to have a problem with insulating houses. Thats where they cut costs. There is no law or policy which encourages insulation in the building code.

Why call for his resignation when they can fire him for misconduct while in office. An employee would get fired in the private sector for not towing the company line, so why should government workers get any leniency. F*@cken circus!

They certainly have the capability of doing it. China are planning to place a man on the moon. Bronson would need permission from the government of which ever country he would launch from (as NSA/NORAD control the skies, they would be watching closely).

The mother can (SHOULD) be charged with neglect. Some kids have sadistic tendencies so its also possible that they forcibly held the baby underwater. So we have just the kids word of what happened. If they think they did something wrong then they will lie to hide it. The mother needs supervision more then the kids its seems.

Some kids are more naive then others even went they have been educated to keep away from strangers. The article doesn't explain much detail. Was it a child with mental disabilities? Why wasn't there parental supervision at the park? Was she with other kids at the park? Where were her parents? Like many things in Japan, ppl only seem to notice after the fact. Really pathetic isn't it!!
