Hi all, Paiseh to ask this in a car forum. I'm helping my colleague. I believe some of the MCFers are bikers too, so hoping you guys could help help a bit. Her dad just passed away recently and he has a 8 year old Honda CB400. The family intends to sell the bike away since none of them can ride. 1) Any good bike shops to recommend? 2) Is there any way to check if there is outstanding loan for the bike. To her understanding, bike loans are usually in-house loans from the bike shops. The problem is that the family don't have details on the loan or where the bike was bought from. 3) And how much would be the value of the bike now? Don't want them to kenna chop. Thanks all!

Could it be the works of pranksters? PA better explain as this could have violated a thousand items under the Penal Code on the proper treatment of our national flag. Puzzling their CC staff could have missed this embarrassing situation when they went about their daily work...

The STOMPer writes: "This is my country, this is my flag? "Some mistakes are just not acceptable. "The word is RESPECT! "What's worse, this is the Community Complex - they should know how to display the flag. "Shame on them for setting a bad example for residents on displaying their flags wrongly during our National Day celebration. "Enough is enough."

Are we still regarded as a garden city? Why is it we have become like that? Is it because of foreigners or we ourselves have let it happen or have contributed to this sad state? One only has to take a good look at the areas around our HDB blocks early in the morning of all the rubbish being thrown around before the hardworking workers sweep it all away. Something to reflect upon... From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Story/...ory_684678.html Cleanliness on the decline I AM a Canadian who visited Singapore in 1995 for two weeks. It was the cleanest city I had ever been to. I came back a year later, and again was impressed by how immaculate the country was. I returned on June 2 this year to enjoy Singapore's famous food and the Great Singapore Sale, but was very disappointed. The cleanliness of the city is gone. I spent days walking and taking public transport to various parts of the city, and noticed an appalling amount of paper and plastic rubbish in the parks and on the streets. I asked those I met why there was a litter problem, and one common comment was that it was due to the people's attitude. Another common response was: 'It's the immigrants.' A garbage worker said the problem had become worse in the last five years. A young woman said: 'Singapore has a lot of problems. We have to worry about our money and how to make a living; the litter is not our problem.' I soon witnessed acts of littering and it infuriated me. A woman with her teenage son and daughter tossed a green plastic drink bag over a railing onto the grass. I yelled at her from down the street, but she just laughed. I saw a construction worker walking past a rubbish bin and placing a can on a wall a farther 10m away, before continuing on his way. It really upsets me to see the once-pristine Singapore turning into just another grubby, trash-laden metropolis. This litter problem is a blight on Singapore's reputation, and I hope Singaporeans will address this disrespect for their country. One way is for people to take all rubbish with them after leaving public places and place it in a trash bin, and not on the ground, a wall, a bench or in the park. Community groups can get together to clean up the streets in their neighbourhoods. The city can promote cleanliness through mass media campaigns. Keeping Singapore clean is the responsibility of everyone - citizens, immigrants and tourists. James Cruikshank
