Who is your least character in Village By The Sea?

The character I hate most in village by the sea is Hari's father.
Hari's father is an irresponsible man. He always sleep until the sun sets and then get himself drunk. When he comes back home, he always beat up his wife and children and then sleep again. Hari's father was so lousy that Hari hoped that he was bitten by a snake and die.
Hari's father was a lousy father and a lousy husband. The reason is that he did not even care about his sick wife.
Futhermore, I think that Hari's father is the cause of all problems. He owed the Khanekhar brothers a lot of money, thus, the brothers poisoned Pinto and Pinto died.
Thus, Hari's father is my least favourite character.

Is progress necessary beneficial for the society?

In my opinion, progress is definitely necessary for the society.
Firstly, progress can transport us around easily. Transportation is very important for people living in the modern society. Vehicles used for transportation are able to move from one place to another freely and conveniently. Imagine a world without this high technology vehicles, peoeple will have a hard time travelling.
Next, progress provides us with tele-communication. Tele-communication is really important especially if you have to communicate to a person that is not infront of you.
If Singapore had not progress, she would still be a tiny fishing port.
However, progress can be abused as hackers could take advantage of technology and commit crimes.
