    <body>&lt;p&gt;Most likely the SGT will just tell the boy to be more polite.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually passing something to a person who is staying in camp is not a valid reason to enter the camp, in the first place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The boy may not study much so his language capability is limited. Forgive him blah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>

&lt;p&gt;what about your 1 million fellow sporeans all from NUS,NTU etc with degrees too.what about those sporeans who went to europe,usa and canada for their degree?and what bout those older degree holders that are switching jobs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and what about those other peoplle from malaysia...they also have good degrees from england and very good universities worldwide.then what about those wealthy chinese people from brunei and indonesia who studied RMIT and USA???&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CHEAPER COUNTRIES-------CHINA ,INDIA,BURMA,PHIILLIPPINES,BANGLADESH(MOST SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH WITH SOME ACCENT...SOME WITH AMERICAN ACCENT...BUT THEY ARE STILL ACCEPTABL) 1.5MILIION DEGREE HOLDER PERHAPS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MODERATE COUNTRIES-------SINGAPORE,MALAYSIA,INDONESIA,BRUNEI(1MILLION ??)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DEVELOPED&amp;nbsp;COUNTRIES-------USA AND OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES(1000?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHAT CHANCE DO U HAVE?CAN IT SEE TO IT YER EDUCATION WOULD BE WORTHWHILE AFTER ALL THE CASH SPENT ON IT?HOW IS YER RESUME GOIING TO BE RETRIEVED AT EACH MNC HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICE WHEN ITS FLOODED BY MILLIONS OF RESUME BY FOREIGN N DOMESTIC JOB APPLICANTS.YOU CAN ACTUALLY SWIM AMONGST THE RESUME IF THEEY ARE ALL FLUFFED UP AND THROWN INTO AN EMPTY SWIMMING POOL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HOW MANY GOLD BARS ARE U GOIN TO BUY AFTER ALL THAT EDUCATION AND KNOWING FULL WELL THERE WONT BE MUCH OF A COMPANY INCREMENT&amp;nbsp;EVEN IF THE BOSS TOOK OFF HIS PANTS AND SHOWED U HE IS SINCERE TO U AND STUFF.&lt;/p&gt;

    <body>&lt;div class="quote_from"&gt;@&amp;nbsp;&#9731;&amp;reg;: i am not disputing the origin of prata. in fact, i could care less where it came from, just like where chilli crab originated. that discussion is a minefield.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what i am saying is in india, there is such a thing called prata, or paratha. if i have seen it in the local menu, have had it in india; so what is that less-than-angelic7030 talking about? small matter this is, but there are far too many people here who wrote here like they are the subject matter expert. i am not saying i am an expert in prata but since i had it there, her statement cannot be right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and in malaysia, it is not even called prata. it is called roti chanai.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;@stevenson101: `roti' is a malay word that means bread, as you know it. it is a general classification word for all kinds of bread. paratha on its own may not mean much in this part of the world so `roti' is added to imply that prata is a kind of bread.&lt;/p&gt;</body>

&lt;br /&gt;
A 70 year-old breast cancer patient has chosen to end her life by
leaping to her death from a HDB flat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Madam Chen Baozhu used to sell prawn noodles with her husband Mr
Yan Qingji in Geylang. They live together with a son who suffers
from cerebral palsy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to their ill-health, they have to stop working and depend on
public assistance from the government to support themselves. Mr Yan
had a stroke three months ago and is still recuperating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to her nephew, Madam Chen was worried her medical bills
may impose a financial burden on the family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr Yan has been sent to a old folks&#8217; home and his son to a nursing
home. There is nobody else in the family to take care of
them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As recipients of public assistance, both Mr Yan and Madam Chen
would have received a monthly allowance of $330 from the state and
they do not have to pay for their medical bills at government
clinics and hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Singapore&#8217;s aging population is a perennial headache for the
government which is exacerbated by the declining birth rates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government has encouraged Singaporeans to work as long as they
can. Retirement age is extended to 62 and eventually to 67.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immigration is also encouraged as a means to increasing the
flagging population. 36 per cent of Singapore&#8217;s population now
consists of foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are few social welfare benefits for Singapore citizens. CPF,
which is originally intended as a pension fund is now deemed
inadequate to meet the retirement needs of Singaporeans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Singapore&#8217;s cash-rich government has so far refrained from
expanding the social safety net out of fear that it will lead to a
crutch mentality among the populace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#8220;Welfare&#8221; is a taboo in Singapore officialdom which has
consistently exhorted Singaporeans to be self-reliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Singapore&#8217;s income gap has widened considerably in the last decade.
It is the second highest among the thirty most developed economies
after Hong Kong whose result was skewed by the extraordinarily
large numbers of billionaires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MM Lee Kuan Yew brushed aside the widening income gap as an issue
of concern during a recent forum saying that it &#8220;does not matter&#8221;
for long as the government continues to create jobs for
Singaporeans.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From our Correspondent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said during a speech at Assisi Hospice last night that terminally ill patients should not treat death as a taboo subject.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was speaking as the guest of honour at Assisi Hospice&amp;rsquo;s 40th anniversary charity dinner. His wife, Ms Ho Ching, is the patron of the hospice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PM Lee urged them&amp;nbsp;to discuss with their families and doctors plans for dying with dignity and under the best possible care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also said he felt more public education was needed about what hospice and home palliative care can do to provide comfort for patients in their last days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With medical advances, people are living longer, but with terminal illnesses, lives can be prolonged only up to a point when &amp;lsquo;more aggressive treatment will likely do more harm than good&amp;rsquo;, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palliative care is a&amp;nbsp;field of medicine&amp;nbsp;that helps terminally ill patients live the remaining days of their lives with minimal pain and suffering. There are few specialist palliative-care physicians in Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore&amp;rsquo;s aging population will put more strain on its public healthcare system which&amp;nbsp;was rated one of the best in the world by the World Health Organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom, palliative care is not a recognized specialty in Singapore. The current palliative care physicians are mostly geriatricians or internists whose postgraduate training is in internal medicine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ministry of Health (MOH) is recruiting and training more doctors, nurses and social workers who can provide palliative care which will also be introduced to nursing homes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan caused a furore when he suggested that Singaporeans send their aged parents to live in nursing homes in Johor Baru where medical expenses are lower. It is not sure&amp;nbsp;if there are any hospices in Johor Baru which can accept Singapore patients in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

Comments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From our Correspondent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said during a speech at Assisi
Hospice last night that terminally ill patients should not treat
death as a taboo subject.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was speaking as the guest of honour at Assisi Hospice&#8217;s 40th
anniversary charity dinner. His wife, Ms Ho Ching, is the patron of
the hospice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PM Lee urged them&amp;nbsp;to discuss with their families and
doctors plans for dying with dignity and under the best possible
care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also said he felt more public education was needed about what
hospice and home palliative care can do to provide comfort for
patients in their last days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With medical advances, people are living longer, but with
terminal illnesses, lives can be prolonged only up to a point when
&#8216;more aggressive treatment will likely do more harm than good&#8217;, he
said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palliative care is a&amp;nbsp;field of medicine&amp;nbsp;that helps
terminally ill patients live the remaining days of their lives with
minimal pain and suffering. There are few specialist
palliative-care physicians in Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore&#8217;s aging population will put more strain on its public
healthcare system which&amp;nbsp;was rated one of the best in the world
by the World Health Organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike Australia, Canada or the United Kingdom, palliative care
is not a recognized specialty in Singapore. The current palliative
care physicians are mostly geriatricians or internists whose
postgraduate training is in internal medicine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ministry of Health (MOH) is recruiting and training more
doctors, nurses and social workers who can provide palliative care
which will also be introduced to nursing homes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan caused a furore
when he suggested that Singaporeans send their aged parents to live
in nursing homes in Johor Baru where medical expenses are lower. It
is not sure&amp;nbsp;if there are any hospices in Johor Baru which can
accept Singapore patients in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From our Correspondent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Singapore recruitment agency posted on its website a list for jobs for foreigners, but locals need not apply!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Allied Manpower is a licensed recruitment agency in Singapore which claims to provide services in human resources and manpower management. It has &lt;/span&gt;over 29 years of proven experience in foreign recruitment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It offered a list of jobs for foreigners which can be easily filled by locals:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17475" title="alliejob585" src="http://www.temasekreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/alliejob585.jpg" alt="alliejob585" width="585" height="350" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we can see from above, the jobs are offered only to specific nationalities such as Filipinos and Chinese nationals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of late, senior cabinet ministers have stepped forward to defend the government&amp;rsquo;s pro-foreigner policy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MM Lee repeated the circular argument that foreigners are needed to take up jobs shunned by Singaporeans without which Singapore&amp;rsquo;s economy will stagnate:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Look at the Integrated Resorts. (On the) rooftop, not one (construction) worker there is a Singaporean. (They are) China Chinese and the Indians. If you don&amp;rsquo;t have that, where&amp;rsquo;s the IR, and the 10,000 jobs (they will create)?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; he asked in speech made at a grassroots event last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Opticians, art teachers, beauticians and website designers are hardly considered as jobs shunned by Singaporeans. In fact, many locals will be keen to take up such jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Singapore Polytechnic offers a three-year course in Optometry which is popular among students. Are Filipino opticians more highly qualified than ours?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saved for the positions of IT support analyst and opticians, the other jobs offer pay of less than $1,500.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a local website designer, $1,200 is surely too low a salary, but it is more than enough for a Chinese National who has no family here. Convert it to RMB and he will take home more than RMB$5,500 a month, far more than what he makes in China.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, there are many qualified Singaporeans who will be interested in applying to become an Art teacher if not for the meager pay of $1,200.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imagine if you are a diploma or degree holder, will you consider taking up such a job?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of addressing the real concerns on the ground, the government has chosen to put the blame on Singaporeans for being too &amp;ldquo;choosy&amp;rdquo; about their jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The relentless influx of foreigners, especially the semi-skilled workers, has led to increased competition for the limited jobs in the labor market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singaporeans often have to accept lower pay and longer working hours out of fear of being replaced by foreigners who generally have fewer demands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the widespread unhappiness and resentment among the citizenry at its immigration policy, the ruling party is adamant that foreigners are needed to keep the Singapore economy growing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ruling party is able to force its unpopular policies down the throats of a subservient citizenry largely because there is no opposition in parliament to check on them and it controls all important state institutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and other Asian democracies, citizens are able to gather and protest in the streets to show their frustration and anger against their governments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Singapore, even a peaceful solo protest anywhere on the island except Hong Lim Park is illegal under the law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lack of public expression of dissent helps the ruling party to recycle and perpetuate the myth through the state media that it is a &amp;ldquo;popular&amp;rdquo; government which have the &amp;ldquo;support&amp;rdquo; of the people to introduce these laws and policies.&lt;/p&gt;
