Singapore Singapore: Look to productivity, not immigration, to boost growth
http://singapore-n-singapore.blogspot.com/2007/03/look-to-productivity-not-immigration-to.html
Saturday, March 10, 2007. Look to productivity, not immigration, to boost growth. ACCORDING to Mr Ng Ya Ken ('6.5-million population - not if but when'; ST, March 7), Singapore's population would have to keep growing to maintain our economic growth. Stretching his logic further, countries in South and South-east Asia with big populations and large overcrowded cities would have become much richer than tiny Switzerland, with an area of 41,285 sq km and a population of 7.4 million. Big cities like Tokyo, Ba...

Singapore Singapore: Why does it take so long to repair escalator and toilets at Tg Pagar MRT station?
http://singapore-n-singapore.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-does-it-take-so-long-to-repair.html
Saturday, March 3, 2007. Why does it take so long to repair escalator and toilets at Tg Pagar MRT station? I take the train at Tanjong Pagar station almost every day. As the station was doing some improvement work last year, I had presumed that all repair works would have been completed after Chinese New Year. It surprised me that the escalator facing Tanjong Pagar side is closed since last week and is still under servicing. No completion date was given. David Kwok Ng Kan.

Singapore Singapore: Wherever he goes, Park's inhaler follows
http://singapore-n-singapore.blogspot.com/2007/03/wherever-he-goes-parks-inhaler-follows.html
Tuesday, March 6, 2007. Wherever he goes, Park's inhaler follows. TUCKED among the clubs and balls in South Korean golfer Park Jun Won's bag is something that could prove to be a potential life-saver. No, it is not a gap, lob or sand wedge. Rather, the 20-year-old Seoul native carries around an inhaler - a palm-size device for administering asthma medication. Ironically, though, the potentially life-threatening condition turned out to be a life-changing one for him. In 17 events, he chalked up US$100,091...

WHEN Mardan Mamat tees off at the Clariden Leu Singapore Masters tomorrow, he will find himself in a new position - having to defend a major title on home soil.

Saturday, March 3, 2007. Woman van driver went out of her way to show us how to get to the stadium. For the past 19 years, my husband and I have been living in Singapore, and are happy with the quality of life we have in our adopted country. However, we have sometimes been frustrated by what seems to be a lack of concern for others within some of the Singaporean community, especially when behind the wheel of a car.
