Thank you for sharing such an interesting study. I work in a special school in Singapore and I see the same attitude towards teaching/education in my school as well, albeit to a lesser degree compared to mainstream schools. Even though the children in my school have special learning n...
Renewing leases is definitely one option, but as and others said below, most HDB blocks will be unlikely to remain sound for that long. This is a theoretical solution that is not practical. The cost of maintaining an aging building will be very high. Also, renewing leases come with no...
My guess that is most Malay Singaporeans, and many non-Malays too, would think that the next person to occupy the largely-ceremonial post of President should be Malay. There is a general sense that this position should be rotated among the different ethnic groups. Out of six president...
I read an article on What Do You Want From Life? There were 71 answers gathered from a group of people. I laughed when I read the answers. One can really want alot of things from life if we seriously thought about it.. from spirituality, productivity, happiness to self acceptance and ...

This week’s PDT Notes, a (popular?) weekly series that looks backward on selected recent events in the markets, covers the end of May, so I could not pass up the chance to cover it. It was a little delayed because I had to program another module to add on to my increasing custom Matla...

Whilst there are many massage therapies to choose from at Aramsa Spa Bishan Park , I tried the inner respite ($118 for 60mins/ $158 for 90mins) – which focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissues. The other kinds of massage include the signature aramsa’s massage, Swedish, Thai, Tui...
Women view opposition parties less favourably than men. Older voters give greater weight to party label and party leadership, than to candidates and issues. Such granularity is emerging from a number of studies about the recent general election, challenging the tendency, if one looks ...
With interest rates in Singapore close to their all-time lows, it may feel like a good time to go out and borrow money. Certainly the buoyant housing market can be at least partially attributed to low mortgage rates which increase the affordability of a property purchase. In this arti...
i beg to differ on this point. as an architect i feel that empty void decks have always been one of the worst aspects of the HDB typology. public spaces, like any other form of necessity, should be provided in appropriate amount in order to be appreciated. the empty void decks typical...
Okay. The pygmy hippopotamus needs someone to teach him some grooming skills. Sure, he can gain lots of weight and get sunburnt. He can even be unshaven, have bloodshoot eyes and walk around with that sour face. But someone needs to tell him that he needs to brush his teeth.

We need to encourage the public to speak up against the commercialisation of medicine and to recognise the danger of the fee for service system turning doctors into crooks. The Ministry of Health has the responsibility to be a role model of health care as a social responsibility rathe...
25,000 BTO flats will be built this year. And now Boon Wan is saying tens of thousands of rental flats are needed and building of rental flats must also be ramped up. Are these happy problems or manifestation of infested problems in public housing that are surfacing today? With 25,000...
On leadership, we also added, “Leaders who do not recognise their special obligation and duty to society, which has invested so much in them and helped them to attain a high status and position, and need to be rewarded handsomely by very high salaries are no longer extraordinary leade...
Tan Kin Lian’s reply to this question was quite vague, as he did not really say what his intentions were or what he stood to gain personally, at least in the context in which the question was phrased. The question was obviously trying to determine if Tan Kin Lian wanted to gain politi...
Old MacGrath was full of joy, and on the way back to the farm, he was already thinking of what to do with the milk. Oh, how his mouth salivate when he thought of the many milk products that can be made from the six full buckets to feed himself and his family! He can make cheese, butte...
One of the things the hubby and I really enjoy together is a good Sunday champagne brunch. It was something we really missed when we relocated. So, can you imagine my excitement when I discovered that there was champagne brunch in Johannesburg and a good one was less than 10 mins away...

US manufacturing data, job report, housing index and a downgrade in Greece’s debt led the DJIA into posting the largest fall of 280 pts, erasing the 4 day gains in 1 shot and closing below 12,300 pts which was the support level. The next support is a major one at 12,250 which is very ...
Shadrake could not afford to pay a Sg$20,000 ($15,175) fine on top of the prison term, resulting in another two weeks in jail, taking the term to eight weeks in total. He could be released earlier for good behaviour. He was allowed to undergo a medical test before serving his sentence...
As he was unconscious, there was no way for us to find out any information from him. He had nothing on him – no identity card, wallet or handphone. All he had by his side when he was picked up were two packets of food. Since he was found at Jalan Bukit Merah where there are lots of re...
