With a lot of contact, we gradually developed feelings. More and more I see that T. is really the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with. Most importantly, if I take T., my future will be much brighter. The post of a young man After careful consideration, I secretly hid V. dating T. Many times I tried to turn the cards upside down with V. but I could not speak. Moreover, my parents liked her very much, always telling their sons to treat their future daughter-in-law well, so I was even more awkward. Really talking about feelings, I still love V. but as a man, I need to think further, know how to put money first. Therefore, after thinking carefully, I decided to help V. to perform my calculation, even though I knew for sure that I would have to endure a lot of pressure and scandal. Two days ago, I informed my parents that I would annul the marriage despite their scolding, I decided not to change. At the same time, I also met V. made it clear that I had found another half that was more perfect for me. V. helplessly accepted to break up with me without a word of complaint. After finishing with V., I always ran to my new love with many hopes for a bright tomorrow. At that time to me, T. was like a lever, only marrying her in the future, my career can go far.

Even more sad, although I accepted to be patient to ‘grow up’, T. still flatly refused. She said, her feelings for me are just play, never intended to marry a poor guy like me. The previous promises made to me were simply pleasant to say. Failure in love, my career after that time also encountered many difficulties. 2 years went by in a flash, last weekend I was fortunate to be recruited into a very good position in a large company.

I’ve only been working for a few days and I have heard the company’s staff praise a lot about the boss, he is not only good at his profession but also loves his wife very much, which makes me quite curious. After dinner last night, I sat down and went to my boss’s personal page to take a look at his private life. When I saw the wedding photo my boss shared on his timeline, I was stunned, frozen. Unbelievably, the young wife who was loved and pampered by her boss so much that everyone in the company admired her was V., my girlfriend who used to cheat right next to the date of the engagement 2 years ago. Now she is the boss’s wife, living a rich and happy life, few compare. Illustration Along with looking at my boss’s facebook, I clicked on V’s personal page, so that my heart went numb before each photo, each status line she shared about the happy home with her husband. Looking at her facebook, the feeling of shame about the past once again rose up in me. The new job position I was enthusiastically working on suddenly lost interest. Not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t know how to face the boss – husband of my ex. Every time I look at my boss, I seem to look back at my wrong past, which makes me miserable and ashamed. Maybe I’ll resign before my boss knows who I am.” The mistake of the guy above is not too rare or unique.

The above story can be seen as a common lesson for young people, never let mistakes in the past affect your future, especially in love affairs.

Get married through the brokerage center Many foreign brides are “invisible people”. After many years of suffering from an abusive husband, not allowed to leave the house and often starved, Lyly (character has been renamed) – the 30-year-old Vietnamese bride has decided to leave her bad husband. Lyly said her ex-husband, a driver about 60 years old, often beat her when he was angry, drunk or losing money. “I don’t know where the market is, where the bus station is. I have no money and no friends. I ask him for money to spend in the house, but he always asks” What do you need money for? For another guy? “, She shared about her difficulties. Once, he didn’t buy anything for her and their son for a week. Lyly said she took her son away at least 3 times but returned because her husband promised to change. However, Lily continued to suffer violence. He even starved her mother and daughter. Desperate, Lyly turned to the police. Thanks to her shelter, she was referred to lawyer June Lim, who represented her to carry out free divorce proceedings. Lyly has sole custody of his son – who is a Singaporean, 6 years old this year. After the divorce, Lyly’s ex-husband canceled her long-term relative visit visa. However, she was fortunate enough to be sponsored by a friend to be able to stay. “If no one helps, I don’t know what to do,” she said. Not only Lyly, many foreign women married to Singapore face a wide range of issues from domestic violence to poverty and uncertain futures in Singapore. These women seem “invisible and have no voice” because of their immigration status, limited rights, lack of protection by law and difficult access to social welfare. Many people lack understanding of the rights and benefits they enjoy, feel helpless in need of help because they do not know where to go for help. This is partly due to their limited social network in Singapore. They are often financially dependent on their husbands. Some people suffer from marriage violence or conflict for fear of leaving their children if their husbands cancel their long-term relative’s visas upon divorce. Member of a matchmaking company in Singapore. Photo: The Straits Times The government gave “fulcrum” A spokesman for the Lawyers Association Pro Bono said that it is very important that the Singapore Government publicizes its stance on the immigration status of foreigners after divorce. This is a “thoughtful and tolerant” approach by the government of this country, she said. In addition, a spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior (MHA) told The Straits Times that widows, spouses or divorced Singapore citizens have the right to custody of children under the age of 21. They are allowed to live in Singapore on a long-term visitor visa until the child reaches 21 years of age. Although the former Singaporean spouse cancels the visa extension, they can still be sponsored by another Singapore citizen or permanent resident over the age of 21. At the age of 21, children can sponsor foreign parents to stay. Since December 2018, the Pro Bono Lawyers Association and Ms. June Lim – CEO of Eden Law Firm – have started the LEAF Project (Empowerment and Legal Support for Foreign Spouses). . The LEAF project is now part of a Family Justice Assistance program that helps noncitizens or Singapore permanent residents with marriage matters. The project aims to provide free assistance to a spouse who is a foreigner who meets a number of conditions, for example with a per capita monthly income of S $ 950 or less. They decided to start this pilot scheme because foreign spouses with children in Singapore are a “particularly vulnerable” group. They often depend on their partner for all aspects of their life. They may not have anyone to help them in the face of home violence or a broken marriage. In many cases, they also do not have any other friends or relatives in Singapore, they just have to look to charities like LEAF to stay. To avoid unfortunate things from happening, the Singapore Department of Family and Social Development has introduced a marriage support program for couples of different nationalities to help them have a strong marriage foundation. The program offers classes that teach English or Mandarin for the brides, give instructions on how to communicate, deal with conflicts in a multicultural setting, as well as tips on living in Singapore.

Mr. Ned Price, spokesperson for the US State Department (Photo: Dong Phuong). Australia has shown that these “Belt and Road” agreements are inconsistent with Australian foreign policy. China warned that Australia’s withdrawal from the agreement would seriously damage the relations between the two countries. According to previous reports, the Australian government announced on April 21 that it would cancel Victoria’s four foreign agreements, including two related to China’s “Belt and Road” initiative. These two agreements were signed between the Victorian government and China’s National Development and Reform Commission. One of them is a memorandum of understanding signed in October 2018 and the other is a framework agreement signed in October 2019. The Chinese Embassy in Canberra criticized the move as an “unreasonable provocation”.

In this case, Australian female Foreign Minister Marise Payne replied: “This plan is very relevant to the national interests of Australia. This action (canceling the two agreements) to ensure consistency in foreign relations. We are all over Australia and it certainly is not aimed at any country. ” She expressed Australia’s efforts to contact China and “requires all governments around the world to respect our government’s decision-making authority”. On April 22, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison also stated that the cancellation of the related agreement was because the federal government did not want the agreements signed by other authorities to go against Australia’s foreign policy. He said the government has always acted in the national interests of Australia to protect Australia, but must also ensure that in promoting national interests, the government can be in an Indo-Pacific region itself. be free and open and be in a world that seeks a balance in favor of freedom.

On the Chinese side’s response, the news site Multidimensional give details: At a regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs taking place on the afternoon of April 22 in Beijing, a reporter asked: “Recently, the Australian government announced the rejection of the cooperation agreement” The Belt and Road “was signed by the Victorian government with the National Development and Reform Commission of China. Please ask what China has to comment on this? “. Mr. Uong Van Ban, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China replied: “Australia’s Victoria has decided to cooperate with China within the framework of the“ Belt and Road ”initiative to improve the welfare of the people. people from both sides. This is inherently a mutually beneficial affair. The Australian Government has unreasonably vetoed the “Belt and Road” cooperation agreement signed between the Victorian Government and China; arbitrary interference undermines normal exchanges of cooperation, seriously harms China-Australia relations and mutual trust. Mr. Uong Van Ban said, “China expressed strong resentment and strongly opposed it and had strict relations with Australia, China reserved the right to make a deeper response to this.” China urged Australia to give up Cold War thinking and ideological stereotypes, treat Sino-Australian cooperation objectively and soberly, and immediately correct mistakes. make mistakes, change directions, do not go further on the wrong path, do not make the China-Australia relationship that is in serious difficulty worse. ” Mr. Uong Van Ban: China expressed strong resentment and strongly opposed it and has strictly interacted with Australia, China reserves the right to give deeper reactions (Photo: Orient). At the same time, the spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in Australia also stated that China expressed strong dissatisfaction and firmly opposed the Australian Foreign Minister’s announcement on April 21 announcing the cancellation of the memorandum and agreement. Framework for the “Belt and Road” initiative was signed between China and the Victorian government. “Australia’s move is yet another irrational provocation against China,” said the Chinese embassy spokesman. It once again shows that Australia is not sincere in improving China – Australia relations, which will definitely cause more damage to the bilateral relationship, the country will definitely carry stones for its feet “. In Australia’s mainstream media, Secretary of State Marise Payne’s actions began to receive a positive response. Sheet Canberra Times published an article saying that Australia’s actions “made China ache” and that Victoria’s was seen as “against the interests of the country” in the eyes of Canberra officials. Sheet Sydney Morning Herald also criticized the fact that before signing with China, Victoria did not report to the federal government.

Last year China imposed a 212% punitive tax on Australian wines (Image: Getty). According to the Seventh News Network Australia’s move to “cancel” the deal was made after weighing more than 1,000 deals. The four deals that Secretary Payne tore off resemble Australia’s ruling Liberal strategy against the opposition Labor Party. The article called the move a “blow” against Victoria’s Labor governor Daniel Andrews. Nineth News Network Marise Penn, based in South Australia, revealed that Marise Penn went to Sydney to speak after announcing the cancellation of the deal, saying that the Australian side is still in contact with China. This represents a significant contrast to her statement on April 13 that “it is necessary to deal with China’s underground war”. For now, some analysts in Australia are pessimistic about the prospects. For example, Eryk Bagshaw, economic correspondent of the The Century , said that when Australia leads the “fight against China” trend, at least six major industries, including iron ore, worth at least 20 billion USD, will be hit hard, traders Australian imports and exports will have to pay the price. In October 2020, Australia allowed naval ships to participate in joint exercises with the US and Japan in the South China Sea, making China dissatisfied. There are also some Australian scholars and businessmen who remain optimistic about the status quo. For example, Roland Rajah, the lead economist at Lowy Institute, an Australian consulting organization, published an article on April 22 in the newspaper. The Century and Sydney Morning Herald “Why does our economy accept the veto of the agreement related to the Belt and Road initiative”, saying that Beijing’s sanctions against Australia are still limited to a relatively small scope, for example such as barley, beef, copper ore and coal. China will not cut off purchases of major Australian commodities such as iron ore and natural gas. After large commodity trade between China and Australia continued and small items shipped to other exporters, Australia was able to recover under Chinese “sanctions”.

Holiday spending is expected to fall below 100 billion baht ($ 3.1 billion). This figure is still better than the Songkran festival in 2020, but much lower than the annual average of more than 135 billion baht.

Sa-nga Ruangwattanakul, president of the Khao San Road Business Association, said the number of tourists is expected to plummet this year as fun activities such as splashing water and powder on each other are prohibited. “Before the Covid-19 pandemic, our revenue during the Songkran season was about 100 million baht per day. This year, however, I think it was only about 10 million baht,” Ruangwattanakul said.

State news agency Anadolu said both deployments, scheduled for April 14 and 15, were canceled as Ankara has not been informed of any possible plans from the US side.

Last week, Turkey announced that it had been informed through diplomatic channels that two US warships “would head towards the Black Sea” and remained in the area until 4-5.

There was no confirmation from Washington of planned rollouts or cancellations.

US Navy ships have regularly operated in the region to support Ukraine, which has been fighting against forces in its east since the pro-Moscow leader in Kiev was overthrown in 2014.

Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimea at the same time, setting up a confrontation with the West that continues to this day.

Last week, the announcement of the US warship deployment came amid heightened tensions between Moscow and Kiev due to the reinforcement of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.

These deployments came amid new clashes between Kiev and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
