The auxiliary police officer was returning home from work but when he spotted a traffic accident on Sunday, his sense of duty kicked in. Mr Nur Iskandar Magiar helped redirect traffic and was trying to free two people pinned under a trailer when he was hit by a taxi. The impact caused the 41-year-old to be flung about 25m before he landed on a grassy patch in the road divider. He sustained head and back injuries and was rushed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

I heard in the MRT today two old uncles talking. They said their China mei mei was complaining to them last night that Singapore education is so easy for their china born kids. The Chinese language is so easy for their children to pass the PSLE, its like this subject is a Free-pass given to their kids, and all they need to study is the maths and science and english(one less subject to worry for the exams). And the china mei mei are NOT happy that the gov is going to cut down the % weighting as it will level the playing field for the 'lousy and lazy' Singaporeans who does not like to study and perform badly in chinese. They say this gov is trying to make things easy for the citizens and not for the PR kids! May 5, 2010 Chinese teachers' union concerned Officials meet Education Minister over review of mother tongue weighting By Clarissa Oon, Senior Political Correspondent OFFICIALS of the Singapore Chinese Teachers' Union (SCTU) have met Education Minister Ng Eng Hen to express their concerns over a possible cut in the weighting given to mother tongue languages in the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). They had a 11/2-hour dialogue on the issue, which has stirred up strong, polarising reactions in recent days. The union, which represents the 1,600 Chinese teachers in Singapore, yesterday released a statement about the meeting on Monday evening, which was also attended by Mrs Josephine Teo, assistant secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress. Currently, mother tongue has a weighting of 25 per cent, similar to that for English, mathematics and science, the other three subjects in the PSLE. The union called in its statement for this weighting to be preserved 'so that it is more in line with the principle of bilingualism and further strengthens the competitive advantage of Singapore in developing bilingual talents'. At the dialogue, Chinese teachers shared their concerns with Dr Ng and gave their feedback on how the teaching of the Chinese language could be improved, particularly for weaker pupils. Dr Ng assured them that the Government had no intention of reducing the importance of mother tongue languages in the education system. He also shared his ministry's future directions for the teaching of the subject. He and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong are expected to meet the press next week to address concerns and outline the Government's thinking on the issue. Public debate has been heated, particularly among Chinese Singaporeans, after Dr Ng gave a media interview two weeks ago questioning the educational soundness of the mother tongue counting for so much at primary school level. Those who support reducing the mother tongue weighting say that the current system penalises pupils who excel in all subjects except mother tongue. These pupils are mostly from English-speaking families. The opposing camp cuts across a broader spectrum. Elderly Chinese community leaders and young bilingual professionals alike are against a further dilution of Chinese language standards. There are also English-educated parents who feel that a reduced weighting for Chinese does not make sense in an age when more people worldwide are wanting to learn the language. Chinese-language teachers fear that a cut in the mother tongue weighting could lead to reduced Chinese lessons and redundancies in their profession. The SCTU statement said any downgrading of mother tongue weighting in the PSLE 'would directly and adversely affect the resource allocation by the schools and parents and hence the attitudes of pupils towards the subject'. While agreeing with the minister that mother tongue examinations and assessments should be reviewed, it said the review should 'strengthen the linkage between assessments and curriculum so as to positively motivate pupils to learn the language'. The union stressed that Chinese teachers care about pupils who are weaker in the language, and agreed to measures to help this group. 'But all this should be done on the premise of preserving the importance of mother tongue,' it added. Speaking to The Straits Times yesterday, Mrs Teo said the dialogue had gone well and she was impressed by how the union had 'brought up its concerns in a rational and professional manner'. SCTU president Lim Chin Nam added that it had been a very encouraging session for the Chinese teachers. 'The atmosphere was very sincere and open and everyone spoke their minds,' he told The Straits Times. [email protected]

Hi all, Asking on behalf of a friend. This friend of mine didn't complete formal education. However, being a fighter in life, he worked hard and raise through the corporate ladder without any qualification. He is now barely 40, already a member of the board of directors and is managing a multi-millions business. Now he is exploring the possibility of getting a qualification/certificate. Is there a course, particularly a MBA course which he is qualify to attend based on his track records? Any recommendation is most welcomed. Thank you very much. Regards,

From: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../412806/1/.html There goes his future. [shakehead] [shakehead]

Did your wife helping you ? ( washing/Polishing ). /

After done shopping for a BD present for a guy friend, my female companion stopped by a shoe shop to shop. Seeing her hands filling up with shoes, I then offer to help her carry her handbag for a while. She refused and comment she would never let a guy carry her bag for her. Even for a short trip to the ladies, however she think it is ok to let a fellow female help carry for a while. Her comment is she can't stand guys who carry handbag for their GF. I however think it is Ok if the need arise. I thought it is conservative to think guy should be touching a ladies' handbag, but my friend turned again and said those who are ask their guy friends (or BF) to carry their handbags are conservative. Sounds like a topic here, so what do you all here thinks. Fact: We are old friends, not in a relationship.
