Providing everyone with equal opportunities is key to ensuring Singapore continues to fare well, said Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew on Friday. He pointed to the Republic’s 14.7 per cent economic growth in 2010 – thanks to a boost from the tourism and manufacturing sector – and said that the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s forecast of 4 to 6 per cent growth in 2011 is not bad for a mature economy like Singapore, reported Channel NewsAsia. “To keep this going at this stage, we need several things,” said Mr Lee, who was speaking at the annual Tanjong Pagar Lunar...

It was though a crowd to be at Bugis Village today but it was worth my time and the squeezing with other people... I passed by a street stall selling loads of fruit juice. U can buy most at Sing one dollar or at most two dollars and it was such a bargain. The juice is freshly squeezed and vitamins should be preserved in it still...

This article is taken from Yahoo! News.

We should strive and try all ways to be innovative as this will help differentiate us from others. The creativity that we show will enable us to stand out from the crowd and shine. I am not saying we have to throw away old traditions but whatever that works for us from the old ways of thinking, we should absorb but whichever that is not beneficial and which will stand in the way of innovation, we should put it aside and not give it too much attention. The world is changing and becoming more globalised. If we hang onto old... Continue reading

Many innocent lives were lost on Monday due to a stampede event near the Diamond Island. There were about 400 people killed and another 350 injured according to the reports. It was all because of over-crowding on a bridge and lack of proper policing provided by the Cambodian authorities. There were rumours that boys who were trying to tease some girls shouted that the bridge was going to fall and that caused the widespread fear and chaos. If the police had controlled the number of people going onto the bridge, many lives could have been saved...Relatives that came to identify... Continue reading
