The pettiness of our sports committee is going to cost us medals for Singapore. How can we have this type of people in the selecting committee, who put their own 'buay songness" above the glory of Singapore? https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/athletics-shock-as-two-time-marathon-champion-soh-rui-yong-is-not-selected-for-sea-games

SINGAPORE - A fire broke out at a vehicle workshop along Defu Lane 12, near Bartley Road East, on Friday evening. No injuries were reported. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a Facebook post on Friday it was alerted to a blaze at 53 Defu Lane 12 at about 6.40pm. It added the fire involved multiple vehicles parked within the premises, and the area affected by the fire covered about 10 metres by 10 metres. It said: “SCDF firefighters deployed three water jets to contain and prevent the fire from spreading to neighbouring units. The fire was extinguished in about an hour.” Investigations are ongoing. When The Straits Times arrived at the scene, firefighters were dousing water over large blackened trucks parked outside a unit bearing a sign that read Yong Sing Motor Works. Its director, Mr Sim Seng Cheng, 61, told the media in Mandarin that at about 5pm a supervisor called to tell him a fire had broken out there with 20 employees inside. He was told one of the workers was spray-painting a van when a nearby motor exploded. The motor was in a grilled enclosure and the workers were unable to get close to it. While some workers tried to douse the blaze through the grill, with a fire extinguisher, the other workers drove the vehicles out of the workshop. But the fire could not be put out. An association member at the neighbouring Hong San Temple, who declined to be named, said he heard a loud boom at about 6.30pm while he was watching the World Cup match between Wales and Iran with nine others. The 68-year-old said: “There were already many people gathering around outside. We heard three or four more explosions that made us jump.” He added he saw four or five workshop employees running and shouting. He described the flames as reaching higher than a three-storey building next to the temple when an SCDF fire engine arrived. Mr Sim said Yong Sing was moving to a nearby workshop at Block 8 Defu South Street and will continue operating from there. He said: “I don’t have any details on the compensation yet. But I’m just glad no one was hurt. “Life is more important than business. If someone had lost his life, I wouldn’t know how to tell his loved ones.” https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/fire-breaks-out-at-defu-lane-no-injuries-reported-scdf https://www.facebook.com/SCDFpage

ST 4July BANKRUPT former National Kidney Foundation (NKF) chairman Richard Yong has been arrested in Hong Kong for fleeing the country illegally and failing to hand over assets. The Subordinate Courts had issued a warrant for his arrest, and Yong was declared a wanted man on June 13. The charges: Fleeing the country illegally on May 17 and failing to hand over assets as required by the Bankruptcy Act. Yong's departure came in the wake of revelations on May 9 that he had sold three apartments for $7.5 million shortly after losing a suit the NKF had filed against him, ex-board members Loo Say San and Matilda Chua, as well as former chief T.T. Durai. The charity's lawyers on May 11 obtained a Mareva Injunction - requiring Yong to give details of his assets, and to prevent him from disposing of them. Three days later, the NKF filed a police report against Yong alleging that he sold his property to escape paying the $11 million he owes the charity in damages. He was declared bankrupt on May 16, but he crossed the border into Malaysia late that night before the immigration authorities could be alerted. In a statement on June 13, the Ministry of Law said that the Official Assignee (OA) had worked with relevant authorities to determine if Yong fraudulently disposed of his property. The OA is an officer of the court who administers the affairs of bankrupts. Yong was supposed to have filed a Statement of Affairs - a written declaration of a bankrupt's assets and liabilities - to the OA by Tuesday. The statement came to the Insolvency and Public Trustee's Office, but only after it had closed for the day. On May 21, Yong had filed a brief affidavit from Kuala Lumpur stating that he had only $247 in a bank account and that the cash from selling his properties had gone towards repaying loans and legal fees. The Bankruptcy Act states that it is an offence for a bankrupt to give away or transfer assets for a period of five years prior to the date of the bankruptcy order. Those found guilty face up to three years in jail and a maximum $10,000 fine. Bankrupts who leave the country without permission face up to two years in jail and a maximum $10,000 fine.

Attended a free concert at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, at the National University of Singapore recently. They call this event, "Let's make a musical friend". This conservatory is the first in Singapore to offer full time studies, leading up to Bachelors or Masters of music degrees. It is located next to the Lee Kong Chian history museum (where they are exhibiting the sperm whale). The conservatory has a very cool building. From the inside, it looks like this. The first part of the event was held in the conservatory concert hall. A beautiful hall! The whole idea of this event is not some high-brow classical music concert that would certainly put the kids to sleep. Rather, it was designed as a fun event, to showcase the classical instruments of an orchestra to the families and kids. For a start, here was the introduction to the woodwinds. Which instruments are these? Flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon. The instrumentalists on stage. All studying at the Yong Siew Toh. Next, introduction to the instruments of the marching band - BRASS! Loved the surprise surround sound and the way the students marched in. Just 5 instruments and the sound was gorgeous. Next, strings. I think all of us are familiar with the violin. But there is also the viola, cello and later on the double bass. In this picture, there were all holding up their bows. The emcee was comparing their bows to lightsabers. After the strings, came the percussion. Too many instruments to name, so the emcee didn't name them. The performance was pretty good. And finally, the entire orchestra came out on stage to perform, the theme from Harry Potter! Very nicely done. The acoustics in the concert hall were fantastic and the kids were rather well behaved! After the concert, we could attend what they call sectionals, or information sessions for the various instrument groups. We decided to check out the woodwinds. Here is one student playing a short phrase from Swan Lake, on the oboe. Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon spent. Kids had plenty of fun. They hold this event once a year, at about this time of the year (usually March holiday weekends). So go catch it if you are interested to expose your kids to classical music.

Saw this on TOC and gave me mixed feelings, it was touching what his family did for him and at the same time makes me wonder what kind of "power" our President has or none at all. Watch and you'll understand.
