Imagine if Judge approved, we maybe following USA footstep where a simple fall in Mcdonald due to floor is wet and Mcdonald can get sued for few millions in dollar. Not healthy at all. So hope judge to reject the 4million in damages and injuries but maybe instead only approved say 20k due to cabby is also wrong in the 1st place by beating red light. So the cabby also need to bare some consequences.

now you know why they want to shift the airbase..... the land probably worths tens of billions develop and develop and develop...............................

Just to share, I just found a $2 dollar car wash beside woodlands driving centre!

To lighten the mood here, got some too serious threads going on........life is short. Bikini made of jewellery

LONDON (AFP) - - Oil hit record highs of 107 dollars on Monday, supported by fresh concerns about the weakness of the dollar and tightening supplies. The New York contract for April delivery had hit a record 106.54 dollars per barrel on Friday but the market had slipped back earlier Monday. The spike came as the White House said Monday that US Vice President Dick Cheney planned next week to urge key OPEC member Saudi Arabia to push the oil cartel to boost output in an effort to rein in sky-high prices. "I'm sure that energy issues will come up," spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a preview of Cheney's trip to the Middle East next week. "Obviously we want to see an increase in production." The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which produces 40 percent of the world's crude, decided at a policy meeting last week to maintain its daily production target of 29.67 million barrels despite calls by US President George W. Bush for it to do more. OPEC blamed the high cost of crude on speculative buying as investors sought a hedge against a weakening dollar and rising inflation. The weak US currency, which fell to a new low of 1.5464 against the euro on Friday, encourages demand for dollar-priced commodities like oil because it makes them cheaper for buyers using other currencies. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20080310/tts-...rd-c1b2fc3.html

Ren Ci flouted guidelines: Charity Council head By Theresa Tan REN CI Hospital and Medicare Centre, now under probe for financial irregularities, had contravened certain guidelines on how charities should be run when it gave out interest-free loans. For example, under the new Code of Governance for charities and Institutions of a Public Character (IPC), it was required to obtain board approval for any loans made by the charity, said Mrs Fang Ai Lian, chairman of the Charity Council, on Monday. Mrs Fang told the media at the launch of the Code: 'What was done was not something in the best interest of the charity.' Besides, there was a conflict of interest in Ren Ci's case as its honorary chief executive, Venerable Ming Yi, is one of the owners of a business that Ren Ci lent money to, she pointed out. The Health Ministry is now probing Ren Ci, one of Singapore's largest charities, after it discovered that it has given out millions of dollars in interest-free loans to various companies. Some of these loans were made, apparently, without board approval. Also, there were discrepancies between what the charity recorded it had lent and what the companies involved recorded it had borrowed. Under the new Code, there should be procedures to handle conflict of interest situations, for example, when a board member has vested interest in businesses the charity deals with. One guideline is that the board member should not vote on the matter or take part in discussions regarding the business. Also read New Code of Governance for charities and IPCs
