Mental Health Awareness MonthMental Health Awareness Month I refer to the Straits Times’ report, “One staff member dismissed, two students expelled between Jan and June for sexual misconduct: NUS” (Aug 5) and The Independent News report, “September as Mental Health Awareness Month: Redditor's take on giving support to colleagues coping with mental health issues” (Sep...

Why financial incentives alone aren't encouraging more births It's all in the headWhy financial incentives alone aren't encouraging more births... I refer to the Straits Times report, “Beyond money: Why financial incentives alone aren't encouraging more births It's all in the head” (Sep 14). The population of most developed countries is shrinking, this will be an inevitable trend. Singapore is following suit. Usually, a country encourages its people to have...

Many workers fear for their jobsMany workers fear for their jobs I read with interest the Straits Times’ Opinion piece “Many workers fear for their jobs - their firms should address this honestly” (September 6). Firstly, we need to find out why many workers fear for their jobs? I think, there are many reasons for it. Basically, there are two broad areas, one is the impact...

Japan says seawater radioactivity below limits near FukushimaJapan says seawater radioactivity below limits near Fukushima I read with deep concerns about the news report, “Japan says seawater radioactivity below limits near Fukushima” (Aug 27). Despite China, South Korea and Russia firmly oppose and condemn Japan’s extremely irresponsible act by releasing treated radioactive water to sea from the Fukushima Daiiachi nuclear power plant,...

Are our presidential elections more democratic than our general elections?Are our presidential elections more democratic than our general... I refer to The Independent Singapore News’ OPINION: “Are our presidential elections more democratic than our general elections?” (Aug 26). It is interestingly to note that the Prime Minister of Singapore, who wields real power, is not chosen directly by the people. Instead, the Presidency is. However, let us put...

Politicising the PE is highly hypocriticalPoliticising the PE is highly hypocritical The recent call to refrain from politicising the PE is highly hypocritical. The very act of Tharman resigning to run and previously Halimah from her post as Speaker is nothing but putting political interest front and centre for the PAP. In fact, almost all previous Presidents are politically chosen by the PAP. Of course...

Singapore’s Presidential election is a farceSingapore’s Presidential election is a farce I voted. I didn’t spoil my vote. In Singapore’s history, movements to spoil votes have taken place before, most notably in the 1962 Referendum and the 1968 election boycott. Both failed. The 1962 Referendum was openly rigged by the government, with three unpalatable choices and no option to vote no (sound familiar?),...

Dr Tan Cheng Bock - A need for an independent president Dr Tan Cheng Bock - A need for an independent president Many may wonder why I am here today, with my competitors from PE2011. The answer is simple: today we share a common vision ….. to have an Independent President. So I am here in my personal capacity as a PE2011 candidate because Singaporeans want transparency and accountability. Having another establishment endorsed...

Malicious attempt to smear Tan Kin LianMalicious attempt to smear Tan Kin Lian There are posts going around showing maliciously angled photo of Mr Tan Kin Lian holding onto a little girl on Normination Day, and was commented and captioned with tons of nasty and disgusting comments. That little girl is his granddaughter and my daughter. She was supporting her grandfather on the field and was...

Keeping govt agencies on their toesKeeping govt agencies on their toes I read with solemn mood of the Straits Times Editorial, “Keeping govt agencies on their toes” (July 24). Foremost, the chief function of Auditor-General's Office is to execute the annual audit on the government ministries and departments, organs of state, statutory boards, government funds, and other public authorities...

A smear campaign against Tan Kin LianA smear campaign against Tan Kin Lian I was the target of a smear campaign over the past few days. Someone sent a few screen shots of my Facebook posts over the past 10 years to the mainstream media. These posts were about "pretty girls" that I met at the shops, on the jogging path or at a mall. The sender was said that she felt uneasy about these posts. I...

I would have voted for Tharman ShanmugaratnamI would have voted for Tharman Shanmugaratnam If the Singapore establishment ever wanted to reverse engineer the Presidential elections to “select” me as president, all they’d have to do is to include a “fitness” requirement - candidates must have run sub 7min 2.4km, broken national records and won gold medals for Singapore. Justification? President must...

Singapore’s Crackdown: ‘Tip of the Iceberg'Singapore’s Crackdown: ‘Tip of the Iceberg' The monumental crackdown on money laundering that began in Singapore on August 15, possibly triggered by the Chinese government in its Operation Fox Hunt campaign to reel in stolen money estimated so far at US$1 billion, is only a tiny fraction of the billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars hidden in the island republic's...

Cannot swallow everything that is being presentedCannot swallow everything that is being presented When you are presented with what is supposed to be news, no matter where the source may be from, you just cannot swallow everything that is being presented. This is especially so if the issue is a serious one which would have a bearing on your life, like the upcoming Presidential Election. Be very careful if the source...
