UGH.......Body in water tank.
I was absolutely horrified to read in the Straits times that a Body was found in the water tank.The thought of drinking that water.Ugh..............It makes me sick. If I was staying there then I cannot imagine what I would have felt.I really cannot understand how this could happen.This is very dangerous as some crazy person can poison the water.I hope that that all the Estates will have tighter security so nothing of this sort happens ever again.

Debate over reserved MRT seats
My reply to a letter in the Straits times home page
12th may 2011 " Debate over reserved MRT seats" by Kon xin Hua
I think the elderly gentleman should have requested him in a polite way. We should be fair to the young man. The elderly man does not have the right to behave in a demanding manner .The sign does not say "You are ordered to give up the seat which is meant for seniors etc etc.The signs are not very clear and does not say to give up the seat to Seniors .The signs should be more precise as Singaporeans follow orders. I am going to be 64 years soon and very rarely someone offers me a seat. Mostly it is the older men who offer and very rare when a youngster offers.Most Singaporeans spoil their children.It is so frustrating to see parents giving up their seat to their child who is not very young while they stand. Not only that if both parent and child are sitting, and a senior walks in,they dont even have the courtesy to request the child to give up the seat.That is why most children of today will grow up to be self centred and selfish. The parents are the ones responsible to teach manners and care and concern to the elderly. Sometime when they have a very young child, they take up two seats instead of making the child sit on their lap. I see this kind of behaviour very often and it is very upsetting. Thankyou
