From Andrew Kok-Kin Lim Jul 16 I refer to the letter "Can HDB step up enforcement?" (July 13). The Housing and Development Board would have the means if it lists all authorised sublet flats in a public database online. A S$500 reward should be given to anyone who reports unauthorised subletting, to be paid by the offender. The HDB should also increase the penalty for first-time offenders to the equivalent of six months of rent. If it cannot do this, it can outsource the job.

i apologize if this has been posted before. --- Hurray for database on bad drivers By Christopher Tan A FEW months ago, a colleague lost control of his car and almost ended up in a ditch. He was trying to avoid a taxi that had swerved suddenly into his path to pick up a fare. My colleague's insurer has since paid for the repairs, and did not cut his no-claims discount, largely because there were witnesses who corroborated his account of the potentially fatal incident. However, my colleague is adamant that the taxi's insurer should provide full compensation, and he is pursuing this through a lawyer. Every so often, I would receive mail from readers who have had minor accidents, which end up with the other party filing exaggerated claims. I can feel the frustration in their words. So, it is comforting to learn that the General Insurance Association (GIA) is setting up a high-tech database to keep track of bad drivers. These include drivers who meet with accidents frequently, drivers who have made inflated or fraudulent claims in the past, and drivers who refuse to cooperate with accident investigations. The database, which should be up in about a year's time, is expected to work like the credit bureau which banks and other financial institutions tap into when checking the creditworthiness of a potential client. Insurers in the United States, Britain and other parts of Europe have such systems in place to help them manage their exposure to risk. It will also help to keep premium costs down for the majority of good and honest drivers. Bad and dishonest drivers can expect their premiums to soar and, in the worst-case scenario, even find themselves uninsurable. This stance may seem a tad draconian to some, but it is the right approach. Decent drivers have had to bear the cost burden of folks with a poor regard for safety - and a low degree of integrity to match - for too long. The database will allow insurers to take targeted action against these parties. Together with the demerit point system the Traffic Police have in place, it will hopefully bring about better driving and roads that are safer for all. It would be a bonus if it could also put a lid on exaggerated claims - maybe $5,000 for a slightly scratched bumper, or $50,000 for a medically unsubstantiated whiplash injury. Hopefully, the GIA will be transparent in the way it decides who makes it to the roll of dishonour. And whether the information in the database differentiates between motorists who are habitually getting into accidents, and those who have suffered a stroke of bad luck (for example, 20 years of a clean record prior to two accidents in the past year). OUT NOW: This month's issue of Torque magazine is out on news-stands. On average, drivers here get into an accident once every five years. So, if you're involved in more than one crash in five years, will you be blacklisted automatically? Will every accident you meet with haunt you? Or only those in which you have been found to be more than 50 per cent at fault? Methinks honest drivers need not worry too much. The GIA's top priority, after all, is to weed out the fraudsters. On my part, I have decided to install a video surveillance system in my car. It will not only provide irrefutable evidence that will come in handy the next time I need to make an insurance claim, but it is also a supplementary security device for the home (as the vehicle is parked in my porch).

Firstly, I chose to post this here as I know there are a lot of well-educated and well-informed people around here. Secondly, I am NOT a spammer. Thing is that I have a good database of around 50-100k worth of people that are interested in a certain genre of activities. Thing is that it is terribly unsorted and literally in scraps. (you can imagine some on paper and in excel sheets and files of various forms) I need a good database management application to consolidate this into. I need an application that is able filter and manage this data for use. Also, if it should come with a bulk mailing function. The application should be either Mac or Windows based, cheap, (free?) or locally created and can generate e-mail blast reports. Sales personnel are welcome to contact me as well. Drinks on me if I implement your recommendation.

as title, any online websites to search for old plates for sale? any such thing? dont mind can PM me if u have lobang too cheers

Key database useful in hunt for Mas Selamat By May Wong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 18 March 2008 2014 hrs SINGAPORE: Officers searching for escaped Jemaah Islamiyah leader, Mas Selamat Kastari, are using a database to make their hunt more effective. Mas Selamat escaped from the Whitley Road Detention Centre some three weeks ago. The 47-year-old is alleged to have been the mastermind of a plot to crash a hijacked plane into Changi Airport. The database used in the hunt contains key information such as the location of vacant buildings in Singapore and possible hideouts used by illegal immigrants. These details come under a programme called Operations Terrain Mapping, which has been updated over the last three years by Home Team officers who registered their observations and contact networks on the database to tackle crime and terrorism. There are also plans to enhance the IT system that centrally stores and shares such terrain information to allow the Home Team to share some parts of the database with other ministries and possibly grassroots organisations in the future. This was revealed by Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng on Tuesday at a workshop for some 700 Home Team officers from agencies like the Police Force and the Internal Security Department. Mr Wong said: "Our sector officers were able to identify 121 vacant or abandoned buildings within a day and the search operations conducted against these sites were mounted expeditiously. This swift response would not have been possible had we not already marked these buildings in our terrain maps. "Another example was the location of cordons and road blocks. As the search operations expanded islandwide in response to public calls, our officers were able to swiftly set up cordon lines and road blocks which were pre-identified in the terrain maps. This enabled us to swiftly lock in the search area while other officers commenced the searches." He added that these officers will face more complex tasks in the future, but efforts to build stronger relationships with various communities will pay off. In fact, the deputy prime minister said such partnerships have already contributed to the fast mobilisation of the community in the search for Mas Selamat. Many organisations have stepped forward to help distribute over 210,000 pamphlets on the fugitive. With more officers involved in the on-going search for Mas Selamat, the attendance at this year's Home Team workshop was lower compared to last year. Despite the security breach that led to Mas Selamat's escape, Mr Wong told his audience that the Home Team spirit is still very much alive. He said: "Indeed, without excusing the lapse which led to Mas Selamat's escape, our Home Team officers should not lose heart for they have done much to be proud of. The work of the Home Team must go on because life goes on in society, whether it is to combat crime, drugs or fire hazards or deal with those who break the law." The Home Affairs Ministry also said on Tuesday that it has checked with its Indonesian counterparts and found no information to validate a report in the Jakarta Post that said Mas Selamat was already in East Java. On a separate note, seven groups received the Home Team Achievement Awards at the workshop. - CNA/so ................................................................................ .... so i guess they will be able to get him soon?
