A parent was asked for consent for her son's second dose of the Covid19 vaccine but not the first. She took to ST forum to express her confusion.

10 years of education to survive in a education system that only encourages rote memorization and conformity without questioning. 2 years of NS to set us back in our career. 30 years of working in a environment that protects foreigners that allow them to get into cushy jobs without protection for Singaporeans.

Ivan Lim has tried to explain himself in response to online criticisms and maintained that he will not back out from contesting. He did not apologise for his arrogant behaviour and instead gave his version of stories with regards to the incidents posted online.

Lee's case echoed that of professional footballer wannabe, Ben Davis. He was supposed to have served his National Service currently, but he defaulted and is said to have signed professional terms with Fulham, an English based professional football team.

I'm an SCDF NSF who recently ORD and wish to share some insights of the night duty, especially having to deal with party goers from Clark Quay/Mohd Sultan. I felt that as an emergency paramedic supposed to deal with life threatening situations, instead it is totally a waste of time when resources have to be dispatched to attend to drunken who're either unresponsive due to severe intoxication or get injured due to provoked fighting.

A netizen spotted this post on an expatriate forum for expats based in Singapore.

Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, Judge of Appeal Chao Hick Tin and Justice See Kee Oon have set down new law benchmarks to impose harsher penalties on Singaporeans who default on their national service obligations.
