"There's too much love on this train" is about all I can come up
with today.
angry doc is quite disappointed by this piece of news.
Now long-time readers will know which side of the 'religious
vs. LGBT' divide angry doc is on, and new readers need only look at
the sidebar on the right to know his alignment; it is precisely
because of his beliefs in these causes that angry doc feels the
making of the police reports represent more of a disservice to the
LGBT community than help.
While our laws are currently biased against gay people
(S377A) and in favour of people of religion (S298), angry doc does
not believe that the solution to this state of inequality lies in
appealing to the authorities to gag or punish those who speak
against the LGBT community (or for that matter any segment of
society).
By appealing to the law to take away the right of a person to

SINGAPORE, Feb 18 — An Indonesian man who lost about S$1,000
(RM2,400) — all the money he had with him — at Resorts World

return home with some money.
Paulus Djohar, 49, had planned to sell the S$500 handphone.
Instead, the court jailed him yesterday for four weeks after he
pleaded guilty to theft.

SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has called for the
electoral rolls to be revised, exactly one year after the Elections
Department was previously directed to do so.
An update now of the Registers of Electors would allow those who
did not qualify to vote following the last revision, to have their
names added to the list of eligible voters.
This would include, for example, those who have turned 21 or have
become new citizens after the previous revision of the rolls was

The Registration Officer will have up to March 31 to complete the
latest update, according to the notice yesterday in the electronic
version of the Government Gazette.

I REFER to yesterday's letter by Mr Dennis Lee, 'Distressed by
divisions', and agree it is unhealthy to create an artificial
divide between those who rent and those who buy an HDB flat.
The image of HDB rental flat dwellers has been created by the
application criteria and the design of the flats, typically the
one-bedroom type sharing a long common corridor. Apart from the HDB
application criterion of a household income of $1,500, other
factors can better describe the fabric of this close-knit group of
citizens, which Mr Lee aptly describes: 'We knew our neighbours
well and even exchanged gifts on festive occasions.'
