Mr Png Eng Huat asked Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Chan Chun Sing if grassroots leaders are prioritised in the balloting process, and if they are allowed to utilise the benefit more than once.

I went to see my dentist recently and was informed that the government has sneakily reduced the CHAS/PG benefits given to all Singaporeans. Actually expected after getting a big mandate from the recent election. Previously there was no limit on how many consultations, fillings, extractions, crowns or root canal treatment. This has been changed. They will now only subsidise 6 fillings, 4 extractions, 2 consultations, 4 crowns and 2 root canal treatments. Now denture is 1 every 3 years. This drastic reduction is subsidy was totally not reported at all by the mainstream media. I hope you can help educate the ignorant public, thinking that they govt will look after their healthcare needs.

Mr Png Eng Huat asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth what are the past and current benefits given to grassroots leaders and advisers in terms of housing priority, primary school admission, allowance, and other benefits in kind.

British transport company Go-Ahead announced their compensation package for bus drivers and heated up the competition for bus drivers in Singapore. Singapore drivers will get a minimum starting salary of $1,865 and get a sign-on bonus ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. This pay package is similar to that offered by Australian operator Tower Transit.

I cannot help but notice the difference in treatment between PAP and WP MPs. All are elected by the people but have different benefits. PAP MPs have the benefit of using RC or PAP kindergarten to hold their MPS but you see what the people elected Opposition MP from Aljunied GRC has to grapple with? They have to hold MPS in hazy conditions under voiddecks? There is no air con, no computer and there is no army of grassroots helping them.

Here is the thing I find strange. The PAP stands for rational policymaking, not populism. The national message is to put society above self not looking after your individual needs. Yet their election tactics smacks of self interest. The Opposition can't promise you many benefits, All they can offer you is a desire for a better society.

I regret to inform you that the Acer PC which arrived on 29 Jun 15 through the scheme, has since broken down as the hard disc malfunctioned. This is particularly disappointing as the special needs children, apart from single unwed mothers are the most ostracised among the Singaporean lot and given the lowest priority along with the budgeting. On the reverse, Emploment Pass Holders, PRs and New Citizens who can't even speak proper English or Malay are given top tier treatment.

Troubled by wrinkles around your eyes? Worried that your skin is sagging, or those gray hairs are making you look your age? So have sex. Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years younger, claims a Scottish researcher. The young-looking participants had sex an average of three times a week, Weeks says. By comparison, a group of men and women in the same age bracket and from similar neighborhoods reported having sex an average of twice a week, he says. More frequent sex -- more than three times a week -- didn't seem to produce any added benefits, Weeks says.
