Title: The World needs only one reason to celebrate - PEACE

Barack Obama wrote on Facebook dated 31/12/2009:
As we head into 2010, our Facebook community has grown to over 7 million. That's over 7 million reasons to celebrate as we enter the new year. Thank you for your support.

Sin Fong commented:
Mr President, don't worry about the 6,999,999 reasons to celebrate, the world needs only one - PEACE!

Casualty statistics are not just numbers; they also represent sadness, misery and scarred memory. Wars create barrier, resentment, hatred and revenge. They destroy buildings, dwellings, lives, humanity and meaningful history.

It's not a matter of "Yes we CAN"; it should be "Yes we WILL" - to live in harmony with other human beings as well as with the environment.

The current United State presidential election is the biggest racial contest of the free world. Congratulations to Obama who has successfully made political correctness history. How many times has the phrase "a black President for the White House" been said during the campaign period? My biggest concern now is that this historic win is going to create big racial division and tension in the United States and other parts of the world, if the economy is going to slide, and unemployment to rise. I sincerely hope that this is not going to occur in our City Council, State and Federal elections when a Chinese stands for an election and keep emphasing his/her ethnicity.
