This fumbling minister not shy. Still dare to talk big. Singapore Home > Breaking News > Singapore > Story Mar 24, 2011 DPM Wong Kan Seng fires salvo at the opposition DEPUTY Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng fired a salvo at opposition parties on Wednesday. He argued that the opposition was wanting to capture a GRC for the wrong reasons. 'Some say they are doing it for party renewal, some want to be the first ones to do so, but what is the election about? Is it about the ambitions of a political party or individuals to make history?' said Mr Wong, who is also Coordinating Minister for National Security, and an MP in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. He was referring to comments made by opposition leaders Low Thia Khiang of the Workers' Party and Chiam See Tong of the Singapore People's Party in recent weeks on their plans to possibly contest in a GRC. He urged voters to back the stronger team that can serve them better, and not simply for the sake of having more opposition, especially at a time of global uncertainty when Singapore must keep pace or risk being left behind. He noted that Parliament will have at least nine opposition MPs after the next election under the Non-Constituency MP scheme even if they are not elected. Mr Wong was speaking at a media conference held on Wednesday to introduce three new candidates for the People's Action Party at the party's headquarters in Bedok. They are Ms Foo Mee Har, 45, Standard Chartered's global head of premium banking, Mr Steve Tan Peng Hoe, 38, executive secretary of Young NTUC, and Mr Desmond Lee Ti-Seng, 35, associate director in the legal and regulations department of Temasek Holdings, the government's investment arm.

Outrage after S Korean contestant lambasted on Asia's Next Top Model https://www.facebook.com/AsNTMOfficial/videos/1582765955346994/?pnref=story http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35931747?SThisFB The treatment of a South Korean contestant in the latest episode of TV show Asia's Next Top Model has sparked a backlash on social media. Kim Sang-in, 23, made a tearful apology to Subaru executive and guest judge Glenn Tan after he lambasted her for rolling her eyes during a photo shoot. The shoot involved models posing around a convoy of cars from Subaru, one of the show's main sponsors. After Mr Tan's outburst, viewers expressed their anger online. Hundreds of angry fans flooded the show's official Facebook page with strongly worded comments to defend the South Korean model after the show on Wednesday night. Sam Gollestani, the show's executive producer, said the incident highlighted the "emotions and tensions that occur during the competition". "Glenn provides the perspective of a client when choosing a model to front campaigns for products, which is why he was invited to be a guest judge this season," he said. "This scene is reflective of what considerations go into making these decisions when working in the fashion and modelling industry." A snippet of the incident, uploaded on to the show's Facebook page, has drawn more than 1,000 angry reactions from fans. In the full episode, broadcast on Wednesday night, Ms Kim is shown looking away as Mr Tan arrives at the scene of the photo shoot challenge among the convoy of cars. He is later shown confronting her about that moment. "Who do you think you are to roll your eyes at me?" he says. "I would never ever hire you." The contestant breaks down in tears and offers an explanation and apology, followed by a traditional Korean bow. Cherry Mae Galiza, a viewer from the Philippines, wrote on Facebook it was the show's "worst cycle ever", saying Mr Tan had been "very unprofessional". "I've had enough," she added. "Just because he is a sponsor does not mean he can yell at a girl like that," said Lucas Tai in Malaysia. Another fan from Singapore called for official action from the show. "All the judges should be ashamed of themselves, for allowing a man like Glenn think that he can treat young models in that way and get away with it," he said. "I say strip Subaru of their sponsorship and ban Glenn from ever returning to the show." The series is no stranger to controversy. A Muslim contestant from Malaysia recently hit back at critics who said it was "inappropriate" for her to compete in a TV modelling show. While Ms Kim has not officially addressed the incident, she has uploaded her photo from the shoot, saying she still likes her picture. The BBC has approached Subaru for comment.

Isn't Goh the Oppo-chap who led NSP to a sounding defeat in GE2011 due to his poor fielding strategy? After GE 2011, he resigned from NSP. Goh was a former WP CEC member in GE2006, but left WP for unknown reasons. Goh recently lend his support to Tan Kin Lian for the latter's presidential bid but failed terribly. Then recently i noticed Goh is part of the TOC team and his Chinese article is just a piece of whiny article on his dislike of LKY and PAP. Wa biang. erm anyway, I just find it surprising that Goh is with the TOC team. Ho Say liao. The down fall of TOC is coming. God Bless TOC coz Goh was involved in so many entities, but none succeeded under him, then he resigned. Do things do half way... wa lao. Workers Party ----> National Solidarity Party ----> Tan Kin Lian ----> TOC

Hi all. I just want to warn those here who buy stuff from Seng Hup scrapyard in Woodlands Indl. Pk.E near Markcool. I changed my distributor 3 times & it is still no good. I think he sells the crappy parts from >20 year old SG cars that r being scrapped. Most of the other scrapyards only sell those parts from Japan scrap cars which r about only 3 years old.

SINGAPORE: Officers from Singapore's Home Team are reminded that mistakes must be addressed and not swept under the carpet. Speaking at his Ministry's National Day observance ceremony on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said officers must take ownership and account for their mistakes. His call came in the wake of incidents involving the Home Affairs Ministry which have brought about public scrutiny. These include the escape of Jemaah Islamiyah leader, Mas Selamat Kastari, from Whitley Road Detention Centre earlier this year. Mr Wong said: "Some of you may be concerned that you would be penalised harshly if you make a mistake, so much so that your focus is on avoiding mistakes, rather than in making positive arrests and detections. I do appreciate and understand your concerns. Let me assure all Home Team officers that we will always observe the need for pragmatic balance in all that we do. "But I also assure you that how the officers responsible will be taken to task will always be fair and just. Commanders will ultimately be liable and assessed on the quality of their leadership as reflected in the performance of their officers, as well as the manner in which they address problems and adversity." On a separate note, several public-spirited citizens were commended on Thursday for their role in preventing crime. Mr Wong said there was a marginal one per cent increase in crime cases for the first half of the year. Housebreaking and related crimes dipped by 22 per cent this year, compared to the same period in 2007. "While fire calls have increased fractionally, the number of fires within residential premises fell. Fires involving household contents and unattended cooking fell by 23 per cent and 3 per cent respectively. "Civil Defence Force's preventive education efforts, together with the National Fire and Emergency Preparedness Council and its community partners, seem to have paid off. Equally encouraging is the 11 per cent fall in fires involving non-residential buildings, including commercial and industrial premises," he said. The drug abuse situation in Singapore has also seen an improvement. But Mr Wong said the Central Narcotics Bureau needs to keep an eye on inhalant abuse, especially among the youths in school

http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...4.html?vgnmr=1 Hougang Town Council staff are all S'poreans: Workers' Party It reveals this in response to challenge from PAP MP Seng Han Thong By Sue-Ann Chia Mr Seng, assistant secretary-general of the NTUC, had on Thursday taken the opposition party to task for its May Day message. -- PHOTO: ZAOBAO ALL the town council staff in opposition-held ward Hougang are Singaporeans, the Workers' Party said on Friday in response to a challenge from MP Seng Han Thong of the People's Action Party. However, the WP was quick to add that it recognises the contribution of foreign workers and is not against their employment. For instance, Hougang town council does not object to its contractors deploying foreign workers in the estate, it said in a statement signed by the party's organising secretary Yaw Shin Leong. The town council is run by the ward's MP Low Thia Khiang, secretary-general of the WP. Mr Seng, assistant secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress, had on Thursday taken the opposition party to task for its May Day message. The WP had questioned if Singaporeans 'truly benefitted' from the job boom as six in 10 new jobs went to foreigners. Rebutting the WP, Mr Seng told reporters on the sidelines of the May Day rally: 'We should take a pragmatic approach on this foreign worker issue.' He also challenged the WP to match its words with deeds, by ensuring the Hougang Town Council did not hire any foreigners. On Friday, the WP reiterated its views on foreigners. 'The issue here is not of foreign workers' employment per se but rather how the Singapore Government and the labour union will ensure that the dignity and societal position of Singaporean workers are not compromised,' the party said. The Government's attitude, it added, should be to put Singaporeans first and 'resist any erosion of Singaporeans' societal standing'. 'It is the Government's responsibility to show compassion for the plight of the workers facing the pressure of high inflation,' the WP said. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...4.html?vgnmr=1 so employ non singaporeans in town council is considered unpatrotic arh?wahhhhh..... who are? which town council? own up leh.... khiang tio si khiang... not khiang sian hor mai kay khiang...
