Dear Charles, In June 2009 at Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, you were quoted: "When you ask Singaporean residents for feedback, they will complain that they have to wait more than 15 minutes for the bus. But when you ask new immigrants, they are happy that the bus comes in under 30 minutes." http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../436203/1/.html In Mar 2011, you kenna ordered to stand for GE election in Joo Chiat. Hope you also extend similar warm-welome to Joo Chiat's Vietnamese community in your new constituent. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1119108/1/.html *PS: No, I am NOT happy for waiting for 30min at bus-stop. You should have put this same question to Minister of Transport over 2 years ago

In particular, she took issue with a booklet distributed during the workshop, which she said ”seemed to emphasise and enforce traditional gender roles in a relationship”. Dr Hon did not comment on the contents of the booklet in his letter, saying only that it was a “source of unhappiness”. http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/hwa-chong-design-its-own-workshops-future SINGAPORE — Following feedback from a student that a workshop on managing relationships was sexist in content, Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) said it plans to design its own workshops in the future. In a letter to students and teachers yesterday — a copy of which was seen by TODAY — HCI principal Hon Chiew Weng said the school had concluded its internal investigation into the complaint and found that the facilitators of the workshop in question were ineffective in addressing the participants’ concerns. Earlier this week, HCI student Agatha Tan set off a wave of controversy with a Facebook post on her concerns about the workshop conducted by Focus on the Family Singapore, a vendor appointed by the Ministry for Social and Family Development (MSF). In particular, she took issue with a booklet distributed during the workshop, which she said ”seemed to emphasise and enforce traditional gender roles in a relationship”. Dr Hon did not comment on the contents of the booklet in his letter, saying only that it was a “source of unhappiness”. He pointed out that the feedback from the students was that one facilitator in particular was unable to address their concerns “satisfactorily” when several of them objected to viewpoints that had been raised during a discussion. The workshop, one of several on managing relationships, was held for the HCI students last week. Students who attended a similar workshop held in another venue were happy and the facilitators were professional and qualified their claims, added Dr Hon. These facilitators recognised that the views put forth in class were generalisations that do not apply to everyone and when referring to controversial viewpoints, they were open to alternative explanations and perspectives, he added. He added that the school had previously used the vendor’s services and the students’ feedback had been positive.

http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-letters/story/barrier-preventing-prs-taking-citizenship-20140516 Barrier preventing PRs from taking up citizenship PUBLISHED ON MAY 16, 2014 MR CHRISTOPHER Chong ("How to help foreigners integrate"; Tuesday) suggested that permanent residency should have a fixed term and then be re-assessed, with one of the criteria being the permanent resident's intention to become a citizen. As a permanent resident here, I would look forward to becoming a Singapore citizen if not for one issue - the requirement that I give up citizenship of my home country. I know of many other permanent residents who share my view. Not allowing dual nationality is an old-fashioned position, one that has changed in many proud countries over the last decade or so. Forcing me to give up my ties to my home country, and having to apply for a visa to visit my family and friends there, is a show-stopper. Singapore should consider changing this policy. Allowing me to retain the citizenship of my home country would in no way diminish the respect I would have for my additional citizenship in Singapore. I have lived here for nine years and do consider Singapore home. So the authorities should remove the one barrier that is preventing me, and many others, from taking the final step to truly calling Singapore home. Makes my blood boil when reading such statements from this FOREIGN TRASH!!! Pui!!!!

BT Report Professor Lim Chong Yah, who rattled many economists and businesses with his wage shock therapy in April, on Thursday addressed the two extremes in Singapore's salary and wage system in his "Shock Therapy II". In his latest paper presented at the Singapore Economic Policy Forum 2012, Professor Lim said the National Wages Council (NWC) should continue with the issuance of quantitative wage increase guideline for those earning less than S$1,000-S$1,500 a month for the next two years. He reiterated his suggestion for NWC to call for an across-the-board temporary three year moratorium on salaries of the very top executives both in the private and public sectors. Professor Lim added that should the wages of the lowest paid resident workers remain stubbornly very low in two or three years' time, serious consideration should be made to introduce a compulsory minimum wage scheme with, say, S$1,000 a month as the start-off quantum. In April, Professor Lim created a stir with his proposed wage reforms which included a wage freeze for top earners while raising incomes for the poorest by huge quantums - 15 per cent in each of the first two years and 20 per cent in the last year. The proposals reignited debates over Singapore's widening income gap. Shortly after, in May, the NWC recommended that the pay of workers earning below S$1,000 a month be raised by at least S$50 a month. An small excerpt of his paper-- The Two Extremes My remedial proposal had two parts. One aimed at lessening the number and percentage of workers at the lowest end of the income ladder. Two advocated a three-year pause to the ever increasing rate of escalation of income of the highest income group. Media reports on the salaries of some top executives in Singapore can range from $2.5 million a year to $5.5 million a year, or roughly $208,000 to $458,000 per month. In one instance, I recall 4 top family-related directors of a publicly listed company paid themselves between $2 million and $3 million each, when the company did not see it fit to pay a single cent dividend to its shareholders. When a very brave shareholder at the AGM asked the Chairman of the Board of Directors for an explanation of this dichotomy, he replied to the effect,

SINGAPORE-BASED motor group Tan Chong International has secured a Chinese car distributorship for five countries, despite misgivings about China-made vehicles. The company, known for its Nissan and Subaru franchises, has clinched the rights to represent Changan Automobile in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. Executive director Glenn Tan told The Straits Times this week that he is confident Changan cars will pass muster here. The first model will be the Honor seven-seater, which Mr Tan said is likely to be priced at the same level as an entry-level Toyota Vios subcompact. "I've seen the car, and it's pretty well-made. Not up there with the Japanese, but certainly better than most Chinese cars," he said. Mr Tan said the deal came about because Hong Kong-listed Tan Chong, or TCIL, makes car seats for Changan in China, and it was the Chinese company that "approached us". Several Chinese manufacturers are stepping up their export drives to counter a cooling domestic market, said observers. Changan is state-owned - its parent is part of the Chinese military - and ranks as one of China's top carmakers. It has 15 plants in Chongqing, Beijing, Jiangsu, Hebei, Zhejiang and Jiangxi that can produce two million vehicles and two million engines a year. The firm also has research and development facilities in Turin, Yokohama, Nottingham and Detroit. Its website says it has assets of 68billion yuan (S$13billion) and nearly 50,000 employees. Mr Tan said newly formed subsidiary TC Changan will start up in Indonesia this week, in Thailand in November and Singapore by the end of next year. He said Indonesia and Thailand will be its biggest markets, as budget multi-seaters are popular there. So are small vans and trucks, which Changan makes too. "We hope to get a small slice of the big pie there," Mr Tan said. He said an expanding certificate of entitlement supply in the coming years will pave the way for Changan's penetration in Singapore. Operations in Vietnam and the Philippines will start in the first quarter of next year, with the 1.6-litre Eado sedan, launched at the Beijing Motor Show in May. Mr Tan expects annual sales in the five markets to hit a total of 10,000 units "in four to five years". There have been doubts raised in several markets in recent years over the quality of Chinese cars, but Mr Tan was certain Changan was different. "We make seats for them, so we know they have quality standards," he said. "They won't just take anything you give them." Elsewhere, TCIL's expansion plans are gathering speed. Its Subaru franchise in 10 markets will sell 15,000 cars this year, and its Fuso truck business in Thailand will see sales doubling this year. Assembly of the Subaru XV sports-utility vehicle in its Malaysian plant starts in December. It will supply cars to Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. For the first half ended June30, TCIL's net earnings more than quadrupled to HK$415.5million (S$65.6million), despite a 6.5 per cent fall in revenue to HK$3.08 billion. Profit was boosted by an increase of HK$175.7 million in the fair value of listed investments and a one-time gain of HK$74million from the sale of a tyre joint venture in China. http://cars.st701.com/articles-cars/motori...se-cars/a/85051 The first model will be the Honor seven-seater

she needs help http://www.divaasia.com/media_photo/15165 You can say Michelle Chong has found fame, 13 years after she took her first step into showbiz as a finalist in the 1998 talent search Fame Awards, organised by the then-Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS). Now, after an uphill climb involving countless rejections by those in the industry, the local star has reached the peak of her career. The versatile comedienne-actress-host, known for her hilarious impersonations and alter egos Barbarella and Leticia Bongnino on the Channel 5 skit show The Noose, is in high demand and appears on Mandarin TV channels too. She can command a five-figure sum for a night's work performing at private events, owns a condominium apartment on Thomson Road and drives a Porsche Cayman. And on Dec 1, she will be making it on to the big screen with Already Famous, a film she wrote, directed and starred in. But now that she's, well, already famous, the 34-year-old MediaCorp star says she is deeply unhappy. She didn't shy away from revealing to the media in June that she was seeking professional help for her depression - what her doctor terms a chronic chemical imbalance - and is taking medication for it. Chong feels the main reason for her unhappiness is the lack of a long-term creative outlet. She also thinks her loneliness contributes to her unhappiness. She has never been romantically linked to anyone or spoken to the media about her love life. "I do crave for love and companionship. I can't wait to get married and have kids. I'm not dating anyone now and I am lonely," said Chong, who then broke into the classic Bobby Vinton song Mr Lonely. Read the full story here.

Yahoo News Will she be the next Annabel Chong? Singaporean Audrey Tan, the first Asian to be crowned Miss Erotica in an adult-themed contest in New Zealand, says she aspires to be a porn star. The 27-year-old, who lives in New Zealand, beat eight other contestants in a two-week public vote for the best nude model in New Zealand earlier this year. The competition was organised by events organiser Erotica Lifestyles Expo. Following her success, Tan has expressed her interest in pursuing a career in pornography. "Since I was young, I've always been a bit of a rebel. I've always been curious and interested in the adult entertainment industry," Tan told The New Paper. "The thing with me is, when I do something, I'd like to do it well," she added. "Annabel Chong has done it, Tila Tequila is doing it, so what's wrong with a dream of being the next Singaporean to make it big on the scene?" she said. Annabel Chong and Tila Tequila were born in Singapore and worked their way into the adult industry in the United States. Chong was born and raised in Singapore and became a porn star when she was studying in the States. Tequila, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, was born in Singapore and ventured into the entertainment industry when her family relocated to the States. She has posed for men's magazine and has her own reality show. As Miss Erotica, Tan took home about NZ$5,000 (S$4,970) from the competition and is an ambassador of the expo. Tan also participated in a "Boobs on Bike" parade where she appeared topless on a vehicle parading on the streets of Auckland and Hamilton. "The money's not great but the title will give me the exposure I need to make it big as an international sex star," she noted. Tan, a single mother of two young children aged four and eight, now works as an events manager at Auckland University and also as a part-time stripper and nude model. She started dancing as a stripper at 18 but stopped after a year. She returned to it recently after splitting from her boyfriend. She told the paper that the university has no qualms with her other job as she keeps them exclusive from each other. "Employers here look at your qualifications and experience for the job, and as long as it doesn't affect their business. And what I do is perfectly legal," she said. The busty model said she spent around NZ$9,000 (S$8,942) for a breast enlargement procedure in the Middle East. Tan enlarged her breasts from a B-cup to a DD-cup and she said she did it in the Middle East because it was cheaper and better. As for her two young children, Tan said she doesn't hide what she does from them. "They know what I do and they have seen the photos, media, magazines and billboards," said Tan. "They are not judgemental... They know mummy is not just a porn model, she is more than that," she added. Her father, who moved to New Zealand with Tan and her stepmother, is also okay with her work as a nude model. Her mother, who lives in Singapore and manages a chain of hair and beauty salons here, is unaware of her work as a nude model and breast enlargement procedure. "I'm sure my mum will be shocked, but I don't think she'll be entirely surprised," said Tan, who visits Singapore once a year.

Ok...those experts in stocks and shares please comment. How much contra or contract or deals must a person transect/execute to lose so much as $5.7million like Mr. Chong? Can we assume that the person MUST be a millionaire or super big time trader with special cash backings in order to play until so big. I mean you need lots of liquid MONEY to play shares/stocks in the first place right?
