  4. US daredevil dies in Yosemite jumping accident https://sg.news.yahoo.com/us-daredevil-potter-dies-jumping-accident-083834489.html A world-renowned extreme athlete died along with another man during a stunt at the Yosemite National Park in California, US media said Sunday. Tributes poured in from all over the globe for Dean Potter, 43, following his death on Saturday. He and fellow BASE jumper Graham Hunt, 29, were killed during a jump at Taft Point, ABC News said, citing Yosemite National Park spokesman Scott Gediman. Reports filtered through to park officials on Saturday of an accident and a helicopter spotted the two bodies on Sunday. When Rangers got to them about noon, they were identified as Potter and Hunt, Gediman said. Other media said the pair had been attempting a wingsuit flight from Taft Point but smashed into a rocky outcrop when they tried to fly through a narrow gap in the mountains. On Potter's official Facebook page -- where he describes himself as "artist, adventurer, athlete" -- extreme sports enthusiasts from all over the world paid tribute to the man admired for his fearlessness and incredible courage. His last Facebook post, on May 12, shows a picture of his dog in a mountainous landscape and the caption: "Miss Whisper. Yosemite Dog." In an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Potter said: "Part of me says it's kind of crazy to think you can fly your human body. "Another part of me thinks all of us have had the dream that we can fly. Why not chase after it? Maybe it brings you to some other tangent. Chasing after the unattainable is the fun part." BASE stands for buildings, antennas, spans and Earth that jumpers can parachute from. It is illegal in US national parks.

  7. We will share a prayer with you. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1234079/1/.html Trial begins for ex-principal accused of misappropriating funds By Kimberly Spykerman | Posted: 29 October 2012 1334 hrs Click to enlarge Photos 1 of 1 Singapore Subordinate Courts (Photo: Anthony Chia, channelnewsasia.com) inShare 10 SINGAPORE : The former principal of Maris Stella High School who was charged with misappropriating nearly S$150,000 was in court on Monday for the opening of the trial. 65-year-old Anthony Tan Kim Hock, who retired in 2009, allegedly committed the offence in the school on 21 separate occasions between May 2004 and September 2009. The prosecution is proceeding with one charge - where Tan is alleged to have misappropriated about S$67,700 from the school's chapel building fund account between March and September 2009. He was still the school's principal then. The remaining 20 charges have been stood down for now. The prosecution has lined up nine witnesses. Three of them - an investigation officer from the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD), a cashier from Mustafa shopping centre and an architect - took the stand on Monday. The court heard that Tan allegedly used the money from the school's chapel building fund to do rebuilding and renovation works for the Champagnat House in Flower Road. The Champagnat House is the residence of the Marist brothers - the lay-religious congregation Tan belongs to. Work began on the house in February 2008 and ended in May 2009. The court also heard that while Tan was not directly supervising the project, bills for some of the works such as stained glass and granite cladding - which involves the adhering of stones to the walls of a building - were sent to him. According to statements that Tan gave to the CAD in 2011, he said that he had already reimbursed the money taken from the chapel building fund. Of the 20 remaining charges that have been stood down, 13 of them involve a man known as Peter Lim - whose relation to Tan is not clear. Tan allegedly used money from the school management committee as well as the director-general of education school fund accounts to pay for items such as seven of Mr Lim's overseas school trips and an open water diving course in Pulau Tioman. The trial continues on Tuesday. - CNA/xq/ms
  8. SINGAPORE: Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck said Singapore has to be a values-driven society. Speaking at the inaugural National Youth conference on corporate social responsibility, Mr Teo said it was the values of working together, understanding and meeting the expectations of different stakeholders that enabled Singapore to have an inclusive society where everyone matters today. He said ultimately, social responsibility -- be it that of an individual or a corporation -- must make a positive difference to lives and society. Mr Teo said the government will continue to support the embedding of social responsibility and best practices for long term sustainability of the environment, business and people. - CNA/ac Why keep saying things out of text book?

  12. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...ef_teacher.html I'm sure not all female teachers are like her. Some want 40k grand wedding, this one is into boys, how kinky. A STOMPer was appalled when he came across a blog created by a relief teacher in Singapore, who said that only ACSi boys are worth dating, and that guys from Raffles Institution and Chinese High are "ugly". Said the STOMPer: "I came across this blog created by a relief teacher in Singapore. "She compared boys from all-boys schools, and described boys from Chinese High and Raffles Institution as being 'ugly' and that St Andrews boys are 'imitated goods of ACSi'. "She said ACSi boys are the only ones worth dating. "She described ACSi boys as being 'rich, spoilt, pampered, arrogant player but NEVER ugly, cowardly/disloyal, stupid, dumb...' "This relief teacher he even has a checklist for people who hate her -- asking them if their PSLE score is above 260, or if they have been scouted by countless modelling agencies, among others. "She may be smart, but why must she think so highly of herself? "I think there will always be someone smarter than you, no matter how intelligent you think you are. But you'll never be wise until you've learnt about humility."

  15. Hi guys, I have been looking to buy an HDB flat (resale). I had been approached by 4 agents. But I realise something, most of them tend to "b-------t". Two of them have no units and they claim they have, one of them kept changing his pricing.. and one always suggest me places which I do not want (even tho I have indicate my preference). All of them always say different things at different times...oh man. I understand they want to earn their living, but it really irks me when they are not being honest (I dun expect complete honesty) or not sincere in communicating. I am rather dismay at the quality/ethics of my 4 agents to an extend I would rather do the sourcing and paper work myself.. any one has the same situation like me? Did you guys do your own paper work and how we go about it? I have no intention of flaming property agents, but just that the 4 I had is .... well just my luck? Cheers

  19. April 15, 2008 JI escape: One blot should not mar good work, says Jaya By Zakir Hussain THE escape of Jemaah Islamiah (JI) leader Mas Selamat Kastari from detention has understandably resulted in public criticism of Singapore's security agencies. But Deputy Prime Minister S. Jayakumar yesterday cautioned against letting this one incident overshadow the bigger picture: what he described as the truly outstanding work of the Home Team and Internal Security Department (ISD) in keeping Singapore safe. 'Since 1966, men and women from the ISD have dedicated themselves to fighting threats to Singapore's domestic security,' he said, citing groups such as the Japanese Red Army, the Tamil Tigers, and more recently, the local JI network. Indeed, had the JI's plans for several bomb attacks here not been exposed in time, 'Singapore would have suffered disastrous consequences', he said. Mas Selamat, who led the Singapore JI network, fled in the aftermath of the 2001 crackdown. He was nabbed in Indonesia and handed over to the Singapore authorities in 2006. His escape from the Whitley Road Detention Centre on Feb 27 sparked a manhunt. Professor Jayakumar, who was Home Affairs Minister from 1985 to 1993, also noted the warning issued by the Provisional Irish Republican Army after its bombing of a Brighton hotel in 1984 failed to kill then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The group said: 'Today we were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always...' These chilling words came back to him, he said, because Mas Selamat's escape was threatening to make people forget the good work that the ISD had done over the years. The escape was a blot on its copybook, and even more so than the public, ISD 'must feel keenly' the seriousness of the setback, he said. 'But the ISD officers have not been paralysed or demoralised. They are as determined now as they were seven years ago when they first identified the JI threat and took prompt action... 'They have continued working patiently and resolutely with the detainees, their families, and the Malay community. These are crucial yet delicate tasks, and the officers deserve our full support.' Prof Jayakumar, who is also Coordinating Minister for National Security, was speaking at a conference of security officials organised by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) and the National Security Coordination Secretariat. Noted RSIS dean Barry Desker: 'Precisely because no society can be impervious to attack, we must focus on resilience. It's not how or how often you fall that matters, but the getting up again.' [email protected] there's no doubt abt ISD, even with drug busting groups.. but why the snr minister mention luck? dun think their paycheck was benchmark against luck...

  24. http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/061120/1/44y88.html Monday November 20, 4:04 PM Auto defects up in China amid price war Defects have been found in 77 percent of locally made cars in China, largely due to a price war forcing manufacturers to cut corners, state press has reported, citing an industry survey. The defects, found within six months of the cars being bought, mainly involved the tires, air conditioning, brakes, locks and steering wheels, the China Daily said, citing the 2006 China Automobile Customer Satisfaction Index. ADVERTISEMENT "The defects are a result of carmakers constantly reducing prices and sacrificing quality," the paper quoted Fan Tianshun, director of the China Quality Association, which conducted the poll, as saying. "I recommend car producers not to grab market share simply by lowering prices." For every 100 new cars, there were an average of 338 defects, much higher than last year's 246, the report said. On average, China's car prices have dropped about 10,000 yuan (1,250 dollars) per car each year over "the past few years" as manufacturers try to compete in the booming market, the paper said. After years of dynamic growth, China is now the world's second largest auto market after the United States. In the first 10 months of the year, 5.89 million vehicles were produced in China, up 27 percent from the same period in 2005, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Defects were more prevalent in cheaper cars in the 30,000 yuan to the 50,000 yuan range, such as China's homegrown Geely, Chery QQ and the Changan Alto, the paper said. But fewer defects in more expensive cars helped result in customer satisfaction over China's domestically built automobiles actually growing by 0.1 percent so far this year over 2005, the paper added. The index was based on a poll of 4,648 participants in 36 cities this year, it said. kana ownezzzz man, left right center! Good luck to cheapskate sporean who wanna buy cheaper car. 77% defects are the average liao after considering the "better quality" higher end china brand cars. 330+ defects for every 100 new cars. OMG! that is almost 3.3 defects for every car. and this records are excluding those unreported cases... QQ is definately one of the model to have worst defect than 77% as it is the lowest end car as stated abv, another one is geely. They are road hazards and should not be on the road man. LTA betta have something to say for allowing cars like these to be allowed into spore pay 1 cent for 1/2 cent goods.. in the end going to pay more.. <
