Morning after pills can have side effects such as screwing up the girls's period and hormones. I suggest you stick to condoms, which is normally safe enough as long as you use it correctly, i.e. don't do oral sex with it on. Morning After Pills should only be used in a "Ops Shit" kind of situation and even then, pharmacist will normally tell you not to use it more than once per month.

Ang Mo Kio means “Red Hair Bridge” in Hokkien. It actually refers to a disused bridge that links the western part of the current Ang Mo Kio estate to the Thomson Estate.

 

The Red Hair referred by the locals was a British Lady called Lady Jennifer Windsor. Lady Windsor was the wife of Lord Windsor, a wealthy merchant who had a huge estate in the Upper Thomson Area in the 1920s till after World War II.

 

It was a tragic incident that linked Lady Windsor to a unnamed crossing that bridged a stream running off the Pierce Reservoir.

 

The incident happened in 1923 when Lady Windsor lost 3 of her children; Harry, Paul and Angela. The 3 children were supposed to have visited a family friend staying in the Upper Thomson area, and were lost in the woods. It was later found that the 2 boys were playing by the wooden crossing when a sudden gush swept them away. Their bodies were found about 2 miles from the bridge. However, the body of Angela was never found.

 

Since that eventful day, locals started hearing cries of a little girl and that prompted Lady Windsor to stay by the bridge for the rest of her life. She told her close friends that she had heard her daughter voices by the bridge and she wanted to accompany her soul. Lady Windsor would spend the whole day by the bridge, reading or knitting. People soon gotten used to her perpetual presence by the bridge that they soon refered the bridge as the “Red Hair Bridge”; which in its right sense should have been called “Lady Windsor Bridge”.

 

Lady Windsor passed away in 1963 and it was only thereafter that locals no longer hear the voices of the little girl. Today, one could still see the disused bridge near the intersection of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 and Upper Thomson Road.

 

Unlikely to be true. Windsor is the Royal Family name of the United Kingdom. It is hard to imagine why a member of the Royal family would be residing in Singapore. Even if indeed a royalty decides for some strange obscure to reason to be in Singapore, they should be well looked after by hordes of bodyguards and hence little reasons for them to be lost in woods.

There used to be a girl in my office who came to me and ask for some white paper. I only had one spare at that time, so I told her to get more from the photocopier machine. The innocent girl happily went to photocopied the white paper.......

Under the Penal Code in Singapore, a man who forces intercourse upon his wife is not taken to have committed rape, unless they were separated or she had previously taken out a protection order or injunction against sexual intercourse against him.

This is wholly unacceptable. Women's rights to protection of bodily security and sovereignty should not vapourise upon marriage. It is absurd to require legal applications for orders and injunctions against being attacked. Sexual violence by any person against any person should always be criminal.



* Suggestions for action you can take to help change the law.

* A model letter you can customise and send to your MPs, the Prime Minister, the newspapers, and your school or company or club newsletters.

* A Cheat Sheet responding to common arguments against criminalising marital rape.

I'm afraid that might not be a very good idea, and its not because its bias against the men or any sort.

Rape is a very difficult crime to prove as most of the time the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. Since a married couple are mostly alone when they are having sexual intercourse, its basically her words against his. In the case of strangers however, its easier to prove that the guy did indeed rape the girl based on the scenario.

Currently husband who force themselves on their wives however, are not going scot free. They are just being charged under a different crime, assualt, which is a whole lot easier to prove.

So although I agree with the morality of criminalising marital rape, the legal technicality is such that its easier to punish an abusive husband with assualt than with marital rape.

Just my 2 cents

This is so taken out of context, "Loser" in that old man's era is not meant to use in the same derogative sense as we youngster use it today. It simply meant people who loses out in a particular system. Rather than serving as an evidence of LKY being arrogant, this entire thread serves as a subtle reminder of the existence of something known as - generation gap.

Agrees with fymk on most parts. Singapore's medical bills are expensive, but its not totally unaffordable. My Mum was recently diagnoised with Leukaemia and I've learnt from my recent visits and interactions with other patients that many poor Singaporeans are getting very good medical attention. Many patients with cases similar to my mum for example, could only afford to pay C class, which carries a 75% subsidy, but the hospital will find one reason or another to bump them up into B class wards at C class price so they can be more comfortable. My mum, has been bumped into B1 and even A ward for various reasons. There is plently of compassion within SGH and is not as cruel as many forumers had portrayed.

Hospital generally adopt a treat first and pay later rule. My mum has received 2 months plus of treatment and has not received a bill yet. Even when the bill comes, it specifies that you pay when you are convenient. No doubt they will take actions to get their money back, but it is not beyond humanitarianism. There is also a social network in Singapore that can afford financial assistance such as the "Clan Society", various illness has their own social help network, the usual meet the MP and such. I've partake in volunteer work every now and then and hence I do know the existence of such groups and its not that there are not enough to go around to help, but those who need help are often also the ones who are ignorance of the existence of these groups.

If you are seriously in need of medical help, go get it. Seriously, the money problem can be left later. If you are healthy and able to, get an insurance, it really helps.

Tibet is a country, it was in 1950's that china invaded it, Tibetan speaks different language from chinese, it is only natural that they are on their own until china annexed it. Just like East Timur, it was a  country until Indonesis annexed it, but Habebie gave them independent

Actually, Tibet is part of China and by choice of the Tibetians. During the Chinese Civil War, the Tibetians explicitly went to the then ruling KMT government for instructions. KMT wasn't too concerned with Tibet but the Tibetian administration saw themselves as part of China and had proclaimed so. When KMT was retreating to TW, Tibet again seek KMT's instruction as a Federal govt would from a central govt. When the Communists first went into Tibet, they were actually welcomed. It was only a while later when the communists tried to take lands away from the landlords and distribute them to the average Tibetians that things start to turn sour. To be fair, the Communists were not doing things in the nicest way too.

Current CCP's problem was not with the Dalai Lama per se as he had in many occassion said that Tibet is part of China and has no wish for independence. CCP's problem is with the people who went along with Dalai during his exile. While Dalai is the leader, he is having trouble keeping the extremist faction in check. Hence when the extremist instigated the recent violent riot, he was not only taken aback but is also having trouble keeping things down. Hence the threat to step down as leader if the violence continues.

CCP's strategy is to keep Dalai as the extremely high profile leader of the exile govt. It balance against the extremist faction and prevent anybody from that faction in taking over the leadership. Dalai is aging and if his profile remains high, his next successor will face considerable challenges to live up to the reputation of his predecessor. CCP's hope is that with the natural passing of Dalai and without a strong successor, the entire Dalai faction will collapse from within, bringing the extremist along with it.

The recent violent protest took both Dalai and CCP by surprise as both had thought that the extremists were checked. But the extremists' move was nevertheless a shot in the foot as it exposes their planted agents within Tibet without acquiring a significant result. Not only has the international community been understanding to CCP over the issue, but Dalai himself had spoke against the uprising. CCP's reaction is also a lot more restrain than expected and the entire uprising is unlikely to create the effect of Tiananmen or force CCP into making any concession.

Hi people,

  The Os and As results are either out or coming out soon. Where next from here? Congrats to those who successfully made it to the institutions of their choice, but if you are falling short of your goals, perhaps not being able to enter any JC or Poly, what is your plan?

  Would you consider taking foundation studies overseas and gain direct entry into oversea uni?

i respect LKY alot and he really worked very hard to make Singapore as of today. Without LKY, we will be like our 2 neighbours already.

but Bian is diff....Bian is just slapping himself. Bian only wants money and is as corrupted as our neighbours. Without Bian, Taiwan wld be better....
When Taiwan was under Mr Sun, it was all good n in peace.... when Bian took over, Taiwan was in pieces....

Errr...... which Mr Sun are you talking about?

wow..KMT won...what does it mean to taiwan with china relations and the whole asia pacific region???

As excited as I am about KMT's victory, I will be cautiously optimistic about TW's relationship with Mainland China in the immediate future. For one, the victory of the legislature election do not automatically means victory for the presidential election and it is the President which will hold the executive power to improve the relationship with Mainland China. Although with more than 3/4 seats under KMT, the party can now pass and reject any law it wishes and even amend the constitution or impeach the President.

Secondly, even if Ma Yingjiu wins the President election, there may be little that he can do to reverse what DPP has done. Chen had for the past two terms, very successfully, instill within the Taiwan folks a sense of fear for an eventual reunification with Mainland China. And Ma has little chance of improving relationship without triggering this fear and hence offering an opportunity to the soon to be opposition DPP to rally the Taiwanese. This will have implication for the next election which KMT no doubt has little interest in losing. The best Ma can hope is that both Mainland and Taiwan will just leave things aside to cool, but if he wins the election, it is likely that Mainland will want some sort of clarification from him.

I suspect that his policy would be to increase economical and cultural exchanges across the straits with the hope that Taiwanese will understand Mainland more but downplay the official political stand.

You excluded army savings, and some small amount of parents allowance because I'm still a student. And my savings were since 12 years old. And I don't spend on any branded things at all because I don't see the need to. Even for my handphone, I will go for a $0 phone during upgrading. Thus I have sufficient funds for food and recreation.

Let me break down for you, someone with that little knowledge

Scholarship with allowance minus NUS school fees still got 13k
attachment $6400
tuition i taught for 4 years, average of 600 a month. June and December not included.
All these money were not touched, what I spent now includes other sources. Do you seriously think I spent a lot in Germany when I have other sources from NUS, Deutsche Akademische Ausland Dienst (DAAD, Germany's MOE for those who don't know), and Technical University of Darmstadt (TUD)?

The above money were not touched, so total = $43,400
Remember, this excludes savings from the army, and any savings I had since young. When one spend as little on unimportant things like me, you will save a lot from the army.

It also excludes the amount of near 2k I got from fixed deposit so far.

So enough about me, care to share about yourself?

Hi, so you studied in Germany? As an exchange student? I have heard that Tertiary education in Germany is free, is it true?

Anyway, with about $50K, you can do some investments, even buying those principle protection funds or unit trusts if you don't feel like taking too much risk. Or you might even consider putting it in overseas banks which offer much more decent interest rates than local banks.

What do you think will happen to singapore if there is a war?

I think this is what will happen

Stay out NSF: These NSF will simply awol

The rich NSF will probably buy a ticket to fly out of singapore together with their money and never ever come back

The poor NSF will probably find a place in singapore to hide(small as singapore maybe when there is a war and everything is so messy it can be hard to find you)

Stay in NSF: These poor chaps wll probably get confined in camp as the SAF will be afraid that they will awol. They will have no choice but to fight in the war but will probably awol during the war when they have the chance to do so.

Reservaist: The same as the stay out NSF. The rich reservaist will simply fly out of singapore to other countries while the poor reservaist will probably not be stupid enough to go back to camp to report. They will probably awol and find a place in singapore to hide.

Even if the reservaists go and fight in the war, they will probably be the 1st to get kill as they have forgotton how to use their M16 and probably due to busy working and never train regularly they don't even have the strength to carry a full battle order

Commando and other elite combat units: They will probably be the only 1 left to fight the war. But these people who like to deceive themselves with the saying "1 of us can kill a hundred soliders" will probably all die in foreign land.

They will be send to the enemy country to attack the enemy bases. When they reach there, it will be their 1st time in their life to see dead corpse, hands and legs being blown up by generades. They will be so scared by all these sightings that their balls will tremble and they don't even have the strength to carry their guns

They will than start crying "I miss my mummy. I miss my gf" and surrender, hoping that their enemy will give them a chance to go back to singapore alive

The rest of the combat units: The majority of the remaining combat units will have to stay in singapore to defend the country as AH LEE will be afraid that if he send all the soliders out than nobody defend singapore than his empire will be conquired.

1 bomb laned in singapore and it destroyed everything in it, killing and destroying all the soliders and everything in it including AH LEE assets.

Ending: Sad but the truth is singapore lose. They will than realise that 40 years of ns is just a waste of time

Put it this way, Indonesia has a population of more than 200million, their defence budget is 3billion USD. Singapore has a population of 4.4million, our defence budget is 6billion USD. If Singaporeans are as you said, so unmotivated to defend our home despite having much higher pay and technological superiority, but are the chances are that our aggressors would stay in their units?
