Gee Siva, is it you from CJC class of 76/77? Your name came up in a conversation with Bradley Bridges - both of us live in NZ with our respective family units. Would be good if you emailed me back, whichever your answer is. Cheers.

In a plane without the aircond for that long is no joke! Every where you go there are a few of them who just don’t know how to handle such scenario’s. The make it sound like they are doing a favor by responding to u! inexperience ha!

Nice one man! I agree with you! I hope Obama gets his shot at office and the world will benefit from the American choice!

Hello,

I’m one of the producers working on Blog TV on Channel News Asia and chanced upon your blog. In case you aren’t familiar with the programme, its essentially a talk show targeting youths to debate on current issues. You can check out http://www.blogtv.sg for more info.
For our upcoming episode, we are looking at debating the current issue of the Serangoon Gardens dormitory fiasco and the underlying issues behind it. We would like to invite you as a guest onto the show to discuss and debate the issue.

Please let me know if you’re keen? The recording will take place at Serangoon Gardens on 20th Sept morning.

If you could drop me a mail with your number I’ll ring you and give you more information.

Thanks so much, and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Gerard

nope they aint foreigners. they’re singaporeans and (forgive me) bloody useless. I’ve great respect for the hard work of those foreign workers. Two of them came up to me in NTUC Fairprice today & wanted help finding them a nice sweet white wine. So I sent them away with a very fine, crisp dry unwooded Chardonnay.

I would say the solution is never to put a mass of under privileged individuals together. Look at the housing projects anywhere in the world and you will see higher crime, alcohol/drug abuse…and so on.

My solution or question is when is the Singapore Government or the MOM going to step in and have the developers start treating the foreign workers like humans! What needs to happen before they start pay them a decent wag, stop making them work at all hrs of the day/night, stop putting them up in containers and muddy work site.

To me this seems like basic human right! They should be required to start putting them in descent accommodation or paying them so they can afford accommodation.

A private condo starts at 700-800k at the moment.. so how is it that developers can get away with treating there labor with such disregard. No other industry seems to be able to get away with it
