  1. [shakehead] From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1204789/1/.html Tiger Airways' flight delay angers passengers By Seet Sok Hwee | Posted: 31 May 2012 2157 hrs
  2. COMMENT Member of Parliament for Tampines group representation constituency Baey Yam Keng recently had to apologise for his comments with regards to Chinese scholar Sun Xu's remarks that "there are more dogs than humans in Singapore." Sun studies at the National University of Singapore (NUS). His remarks set off a storm of protests among Singaporeans, especially online. Baey added to the controversy when he said in a New Paper report that Singaporeans also "need to reflect" on their own behaviour.

Ng Bin Hong, in a letter to the Today newspaper on 5 March, expressed disappointment at Baey's apology.

It is unfortunate that he ultimately apologised because of irrational, populist sentiments." One would suspect that few Singaporeans would agree with Ng, especially given the prevailing sentiments on the issue of foreigners in our midst.

More importantly, these should be addressed more thoroughly and effectively. And to be fair, the government has tried to do so
