Post date: 1 Jul 2013 - 9:09am [This is a satire article from Newnation.sg] Singaporean men from all walks of life who have served National Service are worried that PAP MPs Janil Puthucheary and Zainudin Nordin are feeling left out. This is because these two PAP MPs did not serve NS and today is SAF Day, a day where men who have served NS feel somewhat proud that they did and share photos of themselves on Facebook. One proud Singaporean son who spent two years of his life wearing leaves and eating combat ration, Kee Zho Peng, said:

PM Lee worried about 2 disturbing trends in Singapore By Li Xueying PM Lee worried about 2 disturbing trends in Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday identified two societal trends that worries him: A 'self-centred' Not-In-My-Backyard syndrome that has been increasingly seen among some vocal Singaporeans, and what appears to be a growing gap between Singaporeans and new immigrants. In an interview at the end of the 20th Asean Summit in Phnom Penh, he raised his concerns about these two trends, and cited the example of angry reactions to Chinese student Sun Xu who has apologised for derogatory comments about Singaporeans. While he acknowledged that the student's remarks were uncalled for, he urged Singaporeans to maintain 'a certain balance and not get worked up every time someone misspeaks'. Said Mr Lee: 'He shouldn't have made that blog post. He did. He has been chastised, he has been disciplined, he has expressed his contrition, he's sorry about it. We should have been able to move on from that and deal with it as one person who misspoke. We should not, because of one incident, make that into an issue, (to say) all immigrants are like that.' Almost one year after the watershed general election of May 7, PM Lee said a 'certain stability' in Singaporeans' mood and expectations has been restored, following changes the government has made in both its policies and the way it engages. But, he added, it would take more time, as the country worked on achieving a balance between speaking out and working together.

attached is my police report and a rough sketch of what happened on my accident day.........whereby i was rushed to NUH AE dept......wonder what TP wld conclude???? of the van that send me flying/and me as the rider?? basically the van driver was doing something s he stopped n not moving (but i can't make out what he was doing),when my bike already visible n not in his blind spot.....like an F1 driver just signal right and turn,should have stepped on the accelerator.....banged me liao then brake and like panic....

"We will fight to MAKE SURE that the OPPOSITIONS DOESN'T WIN" Sounds VERY SUSPICIOUS to me.

Just now I stopped by the River Valley Road eatery stretch (single zig zag yellow line) for less than 50 secs to pay and collect my food which I ordered via the phone, then when I dashed back to my car I saw this LTA enforcer guy about 25 metres away, walking straight to my car and he suddenly turned around after seeing me and keeping his notebook and walked back to his bike. I am not certain if he noted down my vehicle number or not and if he did and later a fine sent to me, I think I have to appeal la. I hope I won't get any love letter within 2 weeks time.....

this is quite interesting. i wonder if we may see a Red Flag if it rain. -------------- F1's driver safety union, the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, is concerned about the sport's forthcoming inaugural night race. The floodlit event, to be held on the streets of Singapore at the end of next month, will take place without any prior pre-race testing under lights. The official timetable for the weekend's action even affords precious little evening practice for the drivers, and despite speculation and reports of amendments, this has never been officially confirmed. "At the moment we still don't know what the schedule of the weekend will be," Toyota driver and GPDA stalwart Jarno Trulli told reporters at Valencia at the weekend. He said a major concern is the combination of the lights, the concrete-lined street circuit, and the unknown quantity of how rain might further complicate their visibility. "We are a little bit concerned," the Italian admitted. "We go there, we haven't tested, we don't have any idea. It's going to be a night race, it's going to be the rainy season, so it's not exactly what you really want from a safety point of view." "It doesn't look comfortable so far." Trulli said there is no point liaising with MotoGP riders about the situation, following the premier two-wheeled category's inaugural night race in Qatar earlier this year. "Because riding a bike is different to driving a car. And they were racing on a circuit and we are racing on a street circuit. They had run-off and we have walls," Trulli added. http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en
