I checked out the article on Tết in Vietnam and found some incorrect information.

Firstly, “banh tet” can be commonly found in the south, whereas “banh chung” and “banh day” originated from the north and made their way down to the south when the country expanded over the centuries.

About the legend and symbolic meaning of banh chung and banh da`y (correct spelling), you can check out this article from an online portal of a credible newspaper in Vietnam: http://www.thanhniennews.com/travellermate/culture2.html 

Re the article "A Cry for Decency" on 26 Jan 2007, a very important yet seldom mentioned topic was discussed which I feel warrants closer inspection as well as greater awareness. The Death Penalty.

There is no escaping the debate on the value of life and the issue of human rights as well as the flaws that may exist in the Singapore legal system. All these are parts of the arguments pro and against the death penalty and have to be examined as a whole and should not be dissected into individual sections for pro-life proponents.
