http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_825964.html The National Parks Board's controversial purchase of 26 foldable Brompton bikes had been brought to the attention of graft investigators, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau. In response to queries, the Ministry of National Development told The Straits Times on Wednesday afternoon: 'MND confirms that it has reported the matter to the CPIB.' Earlier, on Tuesday night, the ministry said it had suspended its assistant director of the Park Connector Network, Mr Bernard Lim, from duty. It also said that its minister, Mr Khaw Boon Wan, had told a ministry internal audit team to work with NParks to review the purchase of the bicycles last month.

This poll is raised due to a few encounters with the same driver who was driving recklessly. I seriously am considering if i should report him. I met this grey honda city(i-dsi) on the road again. Changing lanes in heavy rain WITHOUT signals and no checking of blind spots at >90km/h, BKE towards Woodlands. The issue is not whether he should suffer a penalty for reckless driving. The objective is to gather socially accepted opinions on attitude towards such drivers. I have seen fellow bros kanna a lot of lagi dangerous drivers whom after losing a century sprint, purposely e-brake in front of you. Did you guys actually report those guys?

Say coming in Singapore at woodlands checkpoint jam but going in Jb is smooth. But traffic is the other way round. Stuck in a non moving traffic. Thx 99.50!

Yahoo report: Where are the dirty toilets in Singapore? By Kai Fong | Yahoo! Newsroom

Seems like Dr TT is jumping into the fray to slug it out with the other 2 Tans after all. From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1136687/1/.html Who could fill Tony Tan's shoes at GIC? By Leong Wee Keat, TODAY | Posted: 23 June 2011 0640 hrs

I was involved in a minor accident recently. Hit the back of another car resulting in his rear bumper coming loose (did not drop off). My car only sustained some scratches. The other party did not report the incident to his insurer. Instead, he repaired his car at his own choice of workshop, who subsequently filed a 3rd party claim against my policy thru a lawyer. Is this an accepted practice? I always thought everyone must report all accidents to their insurers, regardless of who's at fault.

TWO youths were sentenced to the Reformative Training Centre on Wednesday for stabbing another in his back. Sean Lim Zhi Han, 18, and Alfrey Koh Chan Hoe, 17, had earlier admitted to causing hurt to student Vincent Koh, 17, with knives at Elias Mall Shopping Centre on April 8. A Community Court heard that the victim had stepped out of a LAN gaming shop for a smoke at the mall when he saw Lim and Koh approaching him from across the road. Lim accused the victim of staring at them. There was an exchange, and the victim fled, pursued by Lim and Koh. They attacked the victim after he had tripped and fallen. Despite the pain, the victim picked himself up and ran. He saw the duo chasing him with a foldable knife each. Further investigation showed that Lim was angry with the victim's friend, known as Gordon, for apparently posting some bad remarks at him on the Internet. After buying the weapons at Causeway Point, Lim and Koh went to the gaming shop at Pasir Ris, to cause hurt to Gordon or his friends. The victim was warded for six days for four stab wounds on the back and another on the right upper arm. Both could have been jailed for up to seven years or fined or caned or received any combined punishment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN ALTERCATION in the grounds of MacPherson Secondary School in July turned bloody when two feuding sides met in a basketball court near the school to settle the matter. Knives were drawn and Liu Zheng Tao, 17, did not come out well: He had to be treated for deep cuts to his head, hand and back. A friend with him was also slashed. The pair were believed to have been unarmed. Yesterday, two teenagers from the group that attacked them - Mohamad Fazlie Azmi, 17, and Muhammad Farid Abdullah, 16 - were sentenced to reformative training for the fracas. Probation was recommended for the pair, but police prosecutor Sheik Allaudeen argued that it was too light a punishment, given that the duo had used 'unjustified, mindless violence'. District Judge Ng Peng Hong agreed, noting that in light of the recent spate of violence among youths, the courts had to send a strong message that such acts would not be condoned.

I guess most of the bros/sis here are locally-bred Singaporeans, sprinkled (no offence) with some foreigners-PRs, FTs or simply visitors/tourists. And if you have been reading the local press or have been watching local news regularly (I admit I do all the time), what will strike you is that almost everything from the economy to local B&B issues have been reported to be rosy or about to be better or looked into by the powers that be. A good example would be after EVERY NDP rally talk, the reporters would be churning out tonnes of praise by at least 82 MPs, business folks, academics & other eminent people in their follow-up reports. You seldom find any negative doubts expressed. Maybe some slight concerns but nothing that warrants any serious attention. If, however, you dwell into the realms of the internet, you will find that almost all are allegedly not all-systems-go-let's fire-it-up type of situations. I think most of us are wise enough to differentiate fact from friction and not taken in easily by everything in it. Take for example the hot Foreign Talent (FT)/Permanent Resident (PR) topic. (Notice in the local press/news reports, the powers that be have stopped using the term "FT" but the more generic Foreign Workers (FW)? By definition this group of folks include that friendly foreign cleaner at your void deck to high power MNC CEOs. I guess it will some how soothe frayed tempers over the so-called talents which some claimed otherwise.) And lately almost all gov. top guns have been coming out defending the policy of FWs/PRs, probably due to the imminent BIG day. Of course the latest rally by the top of the top guns clearly painstakingly pointed the importance of the contributions from these group of non-Singaporeans to our economy. And you begin to see many letters of attesting to the soundness of this policy appearing on local press or interviewees praising this policy has helped in his/her business or enable him/her to keep his/her job on the local tv. Things get very interesting when you googled words like, for example, "Singapore Foreign Talent" and it would generate, at last count, 275 000 resulting topics. Many of these are simply 100% anti-establishment bashings/arguments without any substantiation but you will also find some do offer sensible points or raise valid concerns. The latter, however, often do not get much attention in the local media maybe due to the sensitivity it may cause. One of the key reasons for the recent setback by the incument gov. of our neighbouring country of losing some states to the opposition was said to be the latter making full use of the internet to spread their cause. Whether the arguments our neighbour's opposition parties raised were valid or not, only time would tell. So the question is: What is the real Singapore? Is it what is being potrayed in the local media or do you think you can find the real answer in the internet? Your views?
