First time came across the mentioning of this Act in the thread XXX good buddy CEO saw not stepping down...WTF & link: http://www.mycarforum.com/index.php?showtopic=2672570 mentioned by MCF bro Duckduck in post #02. In actual fact, we strongly suspect that this Act, which has no equivalence elsewhere in the entire planet & throughout 9 galaxies, has been in existence for quite a while but just that not much was mentioned officially. By definition & in all practical purposes, this is the single most powderful Act ever created and the Terrorism Act actually pales in comparison. In this Act, all mistakes minor and major will be classified as honest mistakes (hence giving it the name Honest Mistake Act or HMA) & the person or party making them will be forgiven without any reprimands nor penalties imposed. Not even a slap on the wrist-type of warnings will be issued. It's origin could be traced to the S$388m wrongly paid out to a local telco years back and the man himself called this an honest mistake then and urged all to move along. That we believe led to the creation of HMA henceforth. In recent years, the HMA seemed to have been invoked many times succesfully and likely to be enhanced even further in years to come. The latest train disruption fiasco is another prime example that this HMA will be used again so at the end of the day all will be forgiven and life goes on... Ho ho ho, merry Xmas everyone!!!!

I am surprise the authorities have the statistics of gamblers in singapore before and after the opening of casinos [rolleyes] SINGAPORE: The presence of the Integrated Resorts (IRs) here has not caused a spike in the number of gambling addicts, said Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) chairman Richard Magnus on Friday, citing a study done by the Institute of Mental Health. Speaking at a question and answer session at the 23rd Singapore Law Review Annual Lecture, Mr Magnus said that the study concluded that gambling addiction numbers before and after the establishment of the IRs remained the same. What the IRs did, though, was provide "just another avenue for gambling", said Mr Magnus. He added: "The thinking is that some of these gamblers moved away from the traditional gambling areas and move into casinos." Responding to a question on the social impact of casinos, CRA chief executive Lau Peet Meng, who was also at the event, revealed that the authorities are studying overseas models where it is compulsory for gamblers to declare how much they want to lose before they step into the casino. Currently, patrons to the IRs here can voluntarily cap their gambling outlay. On the call for greater transparency with regard to the number of Singaporeans entering the casinos, Mr Lau agreed that this could be looked into. "It is ... probably one of the aspects of the (Casino Control) Act (that) we need to look at more carefully, which is the legality of the information and how the information shared can be used," he said. But Mr Magnus reiterated: "I can perhaps give you the assurance that the local urban legend that quite a number of our locals or PRs frequent the casinos ... is just a legend." Mr Magnus noted that several challenges lie ahead in the regulation of the IRs. Apart from the "creative ways of money laundering", the casino industry might also change in the years ahead from one that is incentivised to self-regulate - due to the high profits - to one where the industry turns stale. Earlier in his speech, Mr Magnus also said that, while the authorities hope that the IRs are "mature participants who see the value of self-regulation ... we cannot discount the possibility of market failure". He added that there will be occasions where the casino operators and regulator will not view self-disclosure as a win-win situation and that will be when CRA needs to intervene. - TODAY http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1143949/1/.html

What a sad story. This jaywalker should be jailed ======================================== http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_350719.html A MAN who dashed across the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) yesterday evening created chaos which led to five vehicles crashing near the Toh Guan exit. The aftermath of the series of collisions across the three-lane expressway left one motorcyclist pinned under a lorry. The 53-year-old man died soon after. Aircraft service engineer Alvin Tan, 45, who was in one of the cars involved, said the man who ran across the expressway was hit by another car which flung him into the lane he was travelling on. Mr Tan said he slowed down to avoid hitting him, but the motorcycle behind him bumped his car and the motorcyclist ended up being struck by the lorry. The 28-year-old man who ran across the road suffered slight abrasions and was arrested for his rash act. This is the X-hole (Blue shirt) who dashed across the PIE
