A journalist's struggle to bring to justice to a boy who was unjustly killed after being tagged as a drug runner and his fight to defend the weak and the voiceless caught in the middle of the government's war against illegal drugs When an article about a boy who was killed after being tagged by police as a drug runner lands on his desk, journalist Zechariah 'Zeke' Dipasupil feels the story deserves to be on the front page.

Later, he meets his long lost grandmother who reveals the truth about his father. As he struggles to rise above societal oppression, he finally finds the courage to respond to the many unsettling silences in his personal life.

This is the story of the Vietnamese boat people-a real-life drama and action at sea, depicting the best and worst of humanity under adversity, trying to survive the journey fleeing Saigon The Stormy Sea is a true story about how ordinary men coming together to protect the vulnerable fleeing Vietnam on the Southern Cross ship. They ensured the distribution of food and water. The band of brothers dealt with everything from pirates, birth, fire and flooding on board to organising their own rescue from the Indonesia island where the Southern Cross eventually ran aground. The story is written by the protagonist, leader of the band, Lawrence. The journey started with everyone assembling under the cover of darkness at a pig farm near a fishing village in Saigon. A total of 1,200 refugees were taken to sea on separate small fishing trawlers and arriving in open waters to rendezvous with what was to be the first steel refugee boat from Vietnam. The boat was the Southern Cross and it is currently resting on that small island of Indonesia. To this day, Lawrence still remember in details the calm water and smell of diesel on the fishing trawler he was cramped in all night with his family. The calmness was suddenly broken by rough open sea and the commotion the next morning with the many trawlers docking against the Southern Cross to allow the refugees to climb on rope nets to board the ship. Lawrence was appointed leader on the ship backed by the European Captain and his crew to lead the 1,200 refugees on the deck of the Southern Cross. This was prompted by a gang of young man confiscating food and extorting money for instant noodles. Lawrence realised his 5 young children won't stand a chance of surviving had he not taken charge.

The Ultimate Guide for every Millennial who's moving into management Millennials will be our next great generation of leaders. They are quickly filling executive and management roles at all levels. If you're one of them, you're probably leading not just your peers, but also Baby Boomers, Gen Xers (who have been around much longer than you) and of course, the new kids on the block, the Gen Zs. The younger generation of leaders are rejecting old school leadership practices outright, forcing organizations to rethink and reshape the way leaders lead. Leadership no longer demands a corner office, an official title or even a physical workplace. The terms 'boss' and 'supervisor' sound foreign to today's employees. Effective leaders are described as inspiring influencers, mentors and advocates today. Millennial leaders face the ultimate challenge of overcoming generational differences, reverse ageism, motivating an isolated, remote, gig and burnt- out workforce, while juggling all the responsibilities and expectations as a leader.
