MOE to review character and citizenship education syllabus to focus on moral education for younger pupils

 

The Ministry of Education (MOE) is reviewing its character and citizenship education (CCE) syllabus to put a greater emphasis on moral education at the lower-primary level.

 

And so now they resort to brainwashing the young... and who decides what the right moral values are? MOE? PAP? ::)

"There are 64 fire hose reels at Block 210A Bukit Batok. They last underwent maintenance and testing by the appointed contractor on Oct 14, 2019, and were certified to be in working condition," the town council's general manager Ho Thian Poh said on Wednesday (Nov 13), in response to queries sent by CNA on Saturday.

 

I wonder who’s crony buddy the contractor is  :)

I'm pretty sure the negligence in this case is criminal. Let's see what comes off of this!  >:(

If a vendor has been engaged to do the checks and it was signed off as completed by the Vendor, the town council would not be liable. The vendor would be the responsible party. At most, they would look into the reasons why the vendor was appointed.

Fire hose reels at Bukit Batok block were padlocked to prevent vandalism: Town council

 

The Jurong-Clementi Town Council said on Thursday (Nov 14) that the fire hose reels over which it was issued a warning by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) had been locked to prevent vandalism.

What a lousy excuse to say it was subjected to vandalism!!

If it was vandalised, did the TC made police report(s).  Can the SPF confirm this and how many reports filed?

If repeated vandalism, what actions did both TC and SPF took?  Any CCTV footages????????

More intriguing is that why the TC gave this bloody excuse TWO WEEKS after the fire incident. 

Do they need to take such a long time to "invent" this excuse???

Why must it take an Opposition party to bring this matter up before the TC "explained" this problem????

Why can't they simply accept that a mistake was made and someone (or some parties involved) needed to be exposed and punished or must they wait till there were fatalities or serious injuries, otherwise if no one "complains" matter is shut out from the public?

For such serious negligence, no MPs/Ministers cared enough to explain to the public?

Passport can S$10 too?

 

Paying $10 to re-register IC brings a stronger sense of pride and ownership of the card

https://www.todayonline.com/voices/ic-re-registration-fee-manageable-most-engenders-sense-pride-and-ownership-ica

 

We refer to Ms Bertha Henson’s letter, “Why charge Singaporeans for new ICs?” (Nov 13).

 

Singapore citizens and permanent residents (PRs) have to register for the National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) at age 15, and re-register at ages 30 and 55.

 

Re-registration ensures that NRICs are updated with recent photographs to aid identification of NRIC holders. It also enables citizens and PRs to provide their biometric identifiers to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

 

The cost of replacing an NRIC is about S$60. Citizens pay S$10 and the balance of S$50 is subsidised. PRs pay a higher fee of S$50.

 

These fees have been charged and unchanged since 2000. The change is that re-registration is now also required at age 55. This has been the case since Jan 1, 2017.

 

Ms Henson wants the whole sum to be subsidised. That is possible, but in effect, it means the taxpayer in general would pay the full sum, as opposed to S$50. The applicant would pay nothing, as opposed to S$10.

 

We believe that a system where the applicant pays a small sum is better: It brings a stronger sense of pride and ownership of the card. The S$10 sum is very manageable for most people.*

 

Since Jan 1, 2017, when re-registration at age 55 was introduced, 112,900 people have obtained new cards.

 

Those with financial difficulties and who are unable to pay the NRIC registration and re-registration fees can submit an appeal to ICA.

 

ICA has waived the re-registration fee for about 40 applicants owing to their financial situation. Each appeal will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. That has been the practice until now.

I doubt Goebbels can come up with a better BS than this.

2yrs ago when i was renewing my passport, i asked about replacement of CRACKED IC, I was told that  i've TO PAY $50 for the replacement WITHOUT SUBSIDY!!!

Now they say only $10... While the rest $50 subsidized.

Sounds like very "pre-election carrot" to me.

This subsidy is only given when one is re-registering one's IC at age 30 and 55. It was in practice since 2000 as stated.

 

Re-registering at 55 comes in effect only in 2017 which as it happens, i turn 55 in that year.

 

Lol, have a friend that just replaced his cracked IC days before the announcement and he is sore as he had to pay $60
