http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/02/22/large-jumps-in-pas-operating-expenditure-after-2006/ Large jumps in PA’s operating expenditure after 2006 February 22nd, 2014 | Author: Editorial Yesterday (21 Feb), People’s Association (PA) gave a statement attempting to explain why its auditors had given its financial reports an “adverse opinion”. PA’s reply was duly published in ST (‘PA responds to online reports on its accounts’, 21 Feb). In the article, ST also wrote that PA receives more than $300 million from the government each year. It said: “The PA is a statutory board under the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and receives more than $300 million in government grants each year.” As a matter of fact, PA is receiving a whole lot more than $300 million grants from the government these days. TR Emeritus (TRE) went through the PA financial reports [Link] and found that beginning from the year FY2006, the government has been increasingly giving more grants to PA ranging from $257 million in FY2006 (06/07) to $434 million in FY2012 (12/13): And beginning from FY2006 till FY2012, the average increase in government grants given to PA was 9.3% per year: % inc in Govt Grants FY2012 2.1% FY2011 9.3% FY2010 4.9% FY2009 13.8% FY2008 7.2% FY2007 18.3% Average 9.3% This was not the case prior to 2006 when the amounts given were about the same. The smallest increase since FY2006 was in FY2012 at 2.1% after the 2011 General Elections, when PAP’s votes went down to a record low of 60.1%. Government grants to PA need to be increased because PA’s total operating expenditure has been increasing since FY2006. It was more or less flat prior to that time: In the last FY, PA’s total operating expenditure was $483 million. On average, since FY2006, PA’s total operating expenditure has been increasing at 11.1% per year. From PA”s publicly disclosed information, in FY2007, there were 1,139 grassroots organization under its charge. By FY2010, this figure shot up to 1,803 (‘BREAKING: Auditors give adverse ratings to PA’s financial reports‘). Interestingly, the increase in PA’s spending and government grants to PA coincides with the increase in the foreign population in Singapore especially after 2006: (source: DOS) Perhaps PA is trying to help in the integration of the foreign population into Singapore’s society for the betterment of Singapore. What do you think?

Hi guys, I need a bit of troubleshooting help here. My DVD headunit(China one) connects to my phone via bluetooth to play music. This works fine until I get an incoming call. This causes my headunit to jump from whatever volume my music was playing to the max volume(24 on a scale of 0-24). Even if I disconnect the call, my volume remains at 24. This is becoming a real pain. I bought the car like this so I need to take care of it. I would really appreciate any ideas you guys might have. Thanks a lot! :)

His next jump will be in a hearse

Real-life Robocop Policeman Dan Pascoe was hurled through the air by stolen car but still managed to get up and run after the criminal. Check the video here

At night while driving with headlights switched ON, the slightest touch on the indicator lever make the light jump to highbeam. Sometimes even without touching the indicator lever, it goes to highbeam. Drivers in front of me always think that im trying to be funny and wonder why im flashing. Went to a shop to fix - but mechanic said that the spares will cost $300 even without looking at the problem. Anybody has such experience. Where can I fix them? Rough price estimate? Thank you.

This is terrible news... Always the innocent children suffer. http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNew...109-178695.html I'm just guessing that it's always partly due to money problems. Imagine how much worse the situation would get once the IRs open their doors...

Dunno if this topic has been posted. Couldn't find it so am putting up now... Anybody read the ST today? Home section carried a story of a repo man suing this Aunty for causing damage to his vehicle. Story goes like this...Repo man spots one vehicle he supposed to repo (Mitsubishi Evo 7 BTW), and park in front blocking the car's exit. Repo man talks to guy in car who turns agressive and starts shouting and this drew the woman's attention. She ran out from somewhere and created a scene. Seems she's the car owner (a Mits Evo 7!!!??) Repo man insists he called tow truck, not going to move his car...Woman turns hysterical, climbs onto repo man's civic, and starts jumpin on the roof! video captured in Stomp...submitted as evidence. Repo man subsequently sue her for causing damages. Woman, while in court, cross examine repo man, asking him if he authorised to repo her car la, if he working for the bank lah etc etc...Jusge slams her telling her these are IRRELEVANT! Why? Becos the case against her is for her action of Mischief and causing damages to repoman's car! This story made me laugh non-stop...I hope the judge whack the aunty hard...Dun know how to think and behave at her age...
