Really need some help from all the brother and sister here... Currently my company is facing some financial problem, it all started from last month when my pay is being delay for almost 3weeks, after 3 weeks, my boss suggested he can only give me 50% first, than last week, he pass me the remaining 50% but less $100 so i guess well, maybe he really tight up, but things change kinda fast, almost all my college had leave the company, leaving me and the account, and theres news saying boss have the intention of just shut down the company and run away... So my problem is, if boss really just wind down and run again with my salary + last month CPF & this month, apart of reporting it to MOM, wat else can be done? Heard too many cases that, even the company it PTE LTD, closing of the company is as simple as sole proprietor. Really need some kind advise on this...

In a study of more than 61,000 ethnic Chinese living in Singapore who were followed for up to 12 years, the investigators found a link between heavy incense use and various respiratory cancers. The findings are published in the medical journal Cancer. Incense has been used for millennia in many cultures' religious and spiritual ceremonies. In Asia, people commonly burn incense in their homes - a practice that is becoming more popular in Western countries as well. Incense is usually derived from fragrant plant materials, like tree bark, resins, roots, flowers and essential oils. Past research has found that burning these materials can produce potentially cancer-causing substances, including benzene and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. However, no studies until now had linked the practice of burning incense to an increased cancer risk over time, according to the researchers, led by Dr Jeppe T Friborg of the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen. For their study, the researchers followed 61,320 Singapore Chinese men and women between the ages of 45 and 74 from the Hokkien or Cantonese dialect group. All of the subjects were cancer-free at the outset. Participants reported on their typical incense use, including how often they burned it in their homes and for how long - only at night, for instance, or all day and night. Over the next 12 years, 325 men and women developed cancer of the upper respiratory tract, such as nasal, oral or throat cancer. Another 821 developed lung cancer. The researchers found that incense use was associated with a statistically significant higher risk of cancers of the upper respiratory tract, with the exception of nasopharyngeal cancer. However, they observed no overall effect on lung cancer risk. Those who used incense heavily also had higher rates of a type of cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, which refers to tumours that arise in the cells lining the internal and external surfaces of the body. The risk was seen in smokers and non-smokers. Study participants who used incense in their homes all day or throughout the day and night were 80 per cent more likely than non-users to develop squamous cell carcinoma of the entire respiratory tract. The link between incense use and increased cancer risk held when the researchers weighed other factors, including cigarette smoking, diet and drinking habits. "This association is consistent with a large number of studies identifying carcinogens in incense smoke," Dr Friborg's team writes, "and given the widespread and sometimes involuntary exposure to smoke from burning incense, these findings carry significant public health implications." They say further studies are needed to see whether different types of incense are associated with different degrees of cancer risk. In Singapore, the researchers note, most people burn long sticks or coils of incense that burn slowly over an extended period. ------------------ so how? this is scientific finding but to say it cud b true dunno will b seditious anot?

SP Services said tariffs will be going up from the first quarter of 2008. A statement released on Wednesday showed that the new rates will hit a six-year high for households and small businesses. SP Services attributed the higher cost of electricity to higher fuel prices. On average, the tariffs will go up by 5.94 percent. This translates into an increase of about S$1.30 in the monthly bill of households staying in one-room flats. Residents of 5-room flat units are likely to pay about S$5.50 more each month. The rates are reviewed and adjusted according to fluctuating electricity costs every quarter, and they have been approved by industry regulator, the Energy Market Authority. - CNA /ls http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stori...319259/1/.html More good years ahead!!!!

i hope the forumers here can provide some information so that everyone can benefit. i did a search and found very little information for SUV tires in terms of price, noise, grip etc etc. Basically, just hoping this topic can be a feedback for all to refer to. i presume most would be interested in H/T (on road) rather then A/T (off road) kind of tyres. More common ones seemed to be Bridgestone Dueler & Yokohama Geolander. Well, i guess it's only fair i start the ball rolling. I'm on Hankook Optimo 215/65/16 which came with the car. So far for 30000km, it's still pretty quiet (but grip is starting to give way)...much quieter then the Yokohama Aspec dB for my lancer which really is pretty noisy after 10000km. Thanks!
