What I hope the Prime Minister will say about the haze

I am immensely disappointed by what our Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong has to say about the haze. http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/pm-lee-speaks-haze#inside

I was hoping for him to say something like the following:-

1) The PSI level has hit beyond the hazardous level and we are ready to implement the stop-work order for the following professions which are required to work outdoor; cleaners (who needs to work outdoor), construction workers, delivery men, just to name a few, as we are concerned about their health condition.

2) We are sorry that we did not foresee that the haze will be so bad this time and we will procure N95 masks for all Singaporeans to protect them against the haze whenever the season of slash-and-burn technique is employed to farming in Indonesia.

3) Singaporeans will get an additional GST voucher to help offset their utilities bill for this month as I understand that many households are using air-conditioners.

4) Pregnant women are strongly advised to see a General Practitioner who will issue a Medical Certificate as long as the PSI is >300.

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge. It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong. (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with. Though I h...

peace in outer planet

for days my life on outer planet was blissful, i hope that's not too big a word to use. all i do is eat, work, read and sleep. sounds awesome. yea, it was. even met up with people i really haven't seen in a while. glad that they still look so much recognizable. their hairstyle didn't even change one bit. minutes turn to hours, and to days, and to weeks. tell you something great. my parents are lovely. my relationship with them is good. one of the best things God has given me. i'm undeniably playful and full of curiosity which lead to some pretty unnecessary exploration, experiences of the dumb whatsoever and yet they just let me be. they know that i'll be back i assume. somehow. probably i underestimated their understanding of me. as i grow up. my amount of allies dip lower. all i can say is, i think i did or am still trying to do something about it. alrighty, bottom line: i'm fine. just to update. ;p
