Cyrus was impressed with its efficiency. “It’s a self-sufficient country. They don’t import anything,” he says. . But the regimented lifestyle wasn’t for him, he decided. “I wouldn’t want to stay in one group,” he says. “It’s nicer to be free.” Everywhere, moreover, loomed the face of Chairman Mao. Although dead, Cyrus says, “He is just like their leader. They worship him like God.” He enjoyed the trip, which ended May 14 after stops in Japan and Honolulu. “It’s fun,” he says, “because you get to see a lot of things and meet new people.” He’d like to visit China again someday. He wouldn’t want to stay, however. “They don’t have all the luxuries,” he says. “I missed the cars, the big, beauti­ ful houses, all the bright colours,” So if you still have your heart set on a Chinese vacation, make sure you book a round trip. It’s a nice place to visit, Cyrus says. But take it from an 8-year-old: you wouldn’t want to live there. Submitted by Jamshed Pavri of Canada always be my humble endeavour to Singapore.

About ten students gate-crashed into the lobbies and they were pulled out by the police who resorted to lathicharge and teargas on the demonstrating students including teenaged girls out­ side the premises. The ugly situation and brutal lathicharge against the students had its echo immediately in the House and amidst heated ex­ changes, the Deputy Speaker adjourned the House for half an hour. When the House reassembled around 1 p.m. there was persistent demand from the opposition benches that the Minister should tender unqualified apology for her Council statement and for what happened that day. And finally, the Minister was forced to tender unqualified apology saying: It is with heavy heart I hereby offer apology,” saying so, she immediately left the House. r!?' v"; V my apology.
