NEWS!
*note:my date on my blog is not correct...theres some error. i changed it already but it went bck to thew wrong date=.=.
NEWS
1)The Ministry of Manpower is cracking down on the dormitories of the foreign workers.Surprisingly, they found out that hundreds of them have not met the health standards the Ministry was looking for during their checks. Some were fined. Those dormitories that weren't up to standards were too overcrowded and extremely dirty.
My Opinion:
--I think this is totally disgraceful, to think that foreign workers, working in Singapore, have been given such a dirty and disorganised place to stay in. To me this isn't fair at all, as workers are human beings too. If we can live in a clean, organised home (or maybe dormitory for them), why cant them?? I also think that it was good that the Ministry of Manpowere did the check, if not they wouldn't have found out this. They should do more checks in future to make sure the dormitories are appropriate for the foreign workers to stay in. I hope this won't repeat again. (:

2) The smoking ban will be extended to all indoor public places and some outdoor places by January 2009. Some outdoor places, like playgrounds and markets, will be smoke-free next year. Others include lift lobbies, shopping malls car parks and non-air-conditioned shopping malls.
My Opinion:
-- I think this is good news, for us who leads a smoke-free lifestyle (: Since smoking is bad for our health,it is good that most of the places will be smoke-free. Not only is smoking bad for our health, for our wallets too!
We would need to pay quiet an expensive amount for one packet of cigarettes. If you calculate a whole year expenses of cigarettes, the amount will surely be expensive. Now we can go to most of the places without breathing in second-hand smoke.(:

pls comment guys! i'll appreciate it loads^^ ty ty..

(sry, i couldnt put the comments page...so sowie ):

again, there was an error..)

okayyyy
below are 4 pieces of news altogether...
i have been writing the news for the past few wks
(when i didnt have the internet connection)
^^
erm soooooo
heres 2 more pieces of news ^^

1) Mumbai terrorists strikes. The famous Taj Mahal was attacked, including its hotel. A lot of innocent lives were killed and a lot suffered. The Indian police on Tuesday released the names of nine suspected gunmen killed in their deadly attacks in Mumbai , reiterating that all of them came from Pakistan.

MY OPINION:
It seems as though these terrorists have no hearts at all. They killed a lot of ppl and had the heart to make others suffer. They caused a lot of chaos. I think they should be arrested as soon as possible as surely they are vry dangerous ppl. I certainly dont understand why terrorists would always want to attack places. They actually dont think of getting caught and arrested or sentenced to death. It is as though they think too highly of themselves of NOT getting caught or they're not scared of death or any punishment and just want to be satisfied with what they had done. I wish all these terrorism would just stop as it is really giving inconvinience to everyone. It doesnt bring any good to anyone - us, nor the terrorists. I am sure even if they DONT get caught, they'll have to get into hiding so that they wont get caught and I am sure that that is definitely not as convenient as living without the need of hiding. I really wish these kind of things would stop and i wish some ppl would just learn to think straight.

2) Singapore excels in Science and Mathematics once again.
Singapore students have again done well in sci and maths at an international study.

MY OPINION:
this is really great news^^
it also applies to us, students. all of our success that we've done in our exams (:
this shows that Singapore is doing vry well in educating us students^^ so we wont have to worry abt being taught the wrong way just as long as we work hard too ((: sci and maths are quiet complex subjects, i guess. but Singapore seems to have excel quiet extraodinarily in educating us so that we achieve great results! For Science, Singapore ranked TOP for primary and secondary levels! I think that Singapore is really striving and is becoming quiet succesful. I hope this success wont just end here ^^

OK! there u have it...im gona post nxt wk or sth kk...hehehs...

other 2 pieces of news...

^^



1)6 men was arrested for suspection of involvement with loansharking. The police then did an islandwide operation on loanshark syndicates.



MY OPINION:

I am totally against loansharking, as they are against the law and sometimes can be disturbing to others. What i mean is, that they do all sorts of things to ppl who own them money and havent paid bck. I also wish that ppl would just stop owing money from loansharks. By doing this, they are actually encouraging the ppl that are involved in loansharking activities to continue doing illegal business. Also, i think the police has taken the right decision by conducting the islandwide operation. The ppl involved in loansharking thn would have a chance of getting caught and loansharking activities could be decreased.



2)A man was killed in a clash between pro- and anti-goverment supporters in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.



MY OPINION:

In my opinion, everyone should be agreeing to have a government and i can't think of any reason why they would be supporting for an anti-government. Without a government, im sure the country wouldnt be succesful. Without a government, there wont be laws and then ppl would start commiting crimes. They should also think of the tourist there. They are showing and telling the tourist that that place isnt a good place to have a holiday or to even visit. I especially is against the violence that they cause while they are having this big protest. I think, whatever it is, violence should NOT be involved. It just creates chaos and unfairness to some ppl who doesnt deserve to be killed, like the man who died.

oooook...erm..HI^^
havent been posting..yeah, i know
sry..cuz i was on holiday, and my internet connection totally cant be used after that..
so, yeah...im lstarting a bit later..or WAY later.
but, heres the news!

1) White Tigers from The Singapore Zoo killed one of the cleaners there. The cleaner was seen acting suspiciously and was saying 'goodbye' to one of his friends there before they got news that the cleaner was killed. The Singapore Zoo is keepting the White Tiger exhibit closed for a few more days to monitor the tiger's stress levels.

MY OPINION:
I think it is good that the zoo is closing the exhibit for a few more days. In that way they can monitor the stress level of the tigers. I also strongly think that this must be a suicide case, and the tigers have no fault since it is natural and obvious that if someone who isn't trained to do the job with tigers just go into the area and provoke the tigers or something the tigers WILL attack him. The man was also said to be acting suspiciously and saying 'goodbye' to his fellow friends. This proves that he was intentionally going to go into the area where the White Tigers were and was trying to get himself attacked, then killed. I think people shouldn't do this kind of things like commit suiciding because it gives problems to residents and other ppl around. They should instead, if they have any problems, pluck up the courage to face the problems other than suffer horrific death or suicide.

2)On February 22 next year, Singapore's first mass cycling event on public roads aims to attract 5,000 participants

MY OPINION:
hmm...to me, this is quite a great event that is going to happen. It encourages a healthy lifestyle among us. Also, this will give a chance for some people to practice long distance cycling. However, maybe this even may be a cause of trafiic jams.


SOOO..there!
i'll post more after this.
im posting all the news that i can get 2day(if i have time)
