Pop. White Paper 2030: some foot/ bicycle path suggestions gahmen might want to adopt/consider (in line with achieving 6.9 million population by 2030)

Pedestrians/Cyclist on foot+ bicycle paths (widened to PCN network size):
- Slow movers must keep to extreme left of path and walk single file or be ready to do so moment u hear cyclist bell: reason: in order to achieve the GDP dreams of the PAP, foot/ bicycle paths must be used more efficiently and only with direction of travel consensus (keep to the left rule) can people on foot or wheels pass safely either by overtaking or pass on opposite sides. Pedestrians who do not follow rules, especially whilst having ear phones on will be warned and recalcitrants FINED. Dogs (except those assisting blind) must travel on the left side of owner so as to avoid being startled> attacking faster traffic on the right.
- No ear phones allowed to be worn by cyclist. Must always carry photo identification documents to show incase of accident (likewise motor vehicle drivers). Cyclist must notify pedestrians to keep left before overtaking with adequate berth (especially for those pushing babies in prams etc).

Pride and Arrogance of Singaporeans, a threat to the National Security of the Island State.

A slip of the tongue let the naked truth out, the 'Singapore Population White Paper 2030 (2013)' incontrovertibly denigrating the nursing profession: defining it as “low skilled” workers.[Health officials in strong defence of nurses (The Sunday Times, 10 February 2013, Pg 8)].

Blogs that do not lie also report the truth: "There’s a lot of verbal abuse that we’re suffer.We’re expected to be efficient despite being severely overworked (in Singapore)."[TOC: 30Jan2015: 'Government: Hard to get SG locals to become nurse'].

With such a prevalent culture of prejudice and abuse against frontline service staff, not least the nursing profession, Singapore seems now dependent upon transient (foreign) service staff to man its hospitals: 'Singapore faces nurse shortfall for years to come' [By Salma Khalik, The Straits Times, 15 Feb 2013]

Singapore should STOP being 'accomplice' to wife/ child abuse by EP holders...

Singapore should STOP being 'accomplice' to wife/ child abuse by EP holders... ... by being much stricter in enforcing "court-ordered maintenance" payments and a cancellation of EP for default of >1-month etc.

According to the forum letter, SG gahmen does not seem to take any action even if their estranged wives (and kids who are held hostage in Singapore by virtue of the 'Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction') must be confined within Singapore borders: yet go hungry/ unfed....

How Exercise trumps Medishield-life as key to good life.

Changi General Hospital started housing patients waiting for beds in this large air-conditioned tent this week. The 800-bed CGH, along with Tan Tock Seng and Khoo Teck Puat hospitals, has resorted to sending patients to Alexandra, one of the few public hospitals here with spare beds. Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said last night that he was aware of the problem - hence, the push to add 1,900 more acute hospital beds and 2,600 community hospital beds by 2020. -- ST PHOTO: DESMOND FOO - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking...steps-20140108


- exercise will not drain your medisave unlike Medishield-life life and if everyone keeps fit, then waiting along corridors/ under tent for a proper hospital ward bed will never happen (except in case of disaster/ war).

Do Singapore parliamentarians even think when they enact laws? : Reckless driving = only half as dangerous as negligent driving???!!!

"For his reckless driving, Pang could have been jailed up to 12 months, fined up to $3,000 or both. Lim's negligencecould have been punished by up to two years in jail, a fine or both."

:: Why is the jail term for reckless driving only HALF that of negligent driving if both can be perceived to be EQUALLY dangerous (fatal) on public roads. Is a reckless driver any safer than a negligent one???!!!
Singapore (esp PAP) parliamentarians are proclaimed to be the best in the world (receive world record salaries etc) and use the GRC system of elections to enter on the coat-tails of ministers with "assurance of a good chance of winning at least their first election", so shouldn't Singapore's traffic rules make more sense and be effective at preventing accidents on our roads???!!! (PS: In the annexed case ironically, the negligent driver received a lesser jail term than the reckless one contrary to suggested punishment limits as suggested in the law: although I agree the judge approportioned punishment fairly).

Is the Law/ Justice in Singapore inaccessible to foreign/ local poor?

No point law society of Singapore have increased pro-bono legal services if recourse for injustice is foreign to the poor.
In the following case in which Md Raibul was jailed 7 months for attacking Mr Md Tofazzel in the head "with a 50cm metal rebar twice, resulting in acute haemorrhaging and bone fractures... He (Tofazzel) was hospitalised from March 25 to April 30 (~34days)".

The case of Md Raibul voluntarily causing grievous hurt reveals some systematic legal blindspots/ concerns that I feel begs response.
1) What is the legal procedure (contract)/ status of a private sale of a simple appliance (e.g. laptop) between private individuals?
2) What affordable legal recourse other than physical violence is available to claimants especially where the buyer defaults on payment or simply refuses to pay (?cheating?).
