Singaporeans should just send the elderly to nursing homes in JB

Singaporeans could consider living in nursing homes in neighbouring Johor Baru. It would be cheaper, yet be near enough to Singapore for family members to visit and for residents to return for medical care if necessary.

-- Khaw Boon Wan, Health Minister

Since you are not producing babies, no Saturday offs for you!

We should accept that as a people our procreation talent is not our forte - nothing to crow about. I urge the Government to take steps to determine whether our productivity and competitiveness have been affected by the five-day week and to review the policy, if necessary.

I have nothing against our young Singaporeans having fun and partying. But I hope they will work as hard as they play.

-- Loo Choon Yong, Nominated MP

The internet is not an effective self-regulated regime

Contrary to what some may feel, Mr Lui Tuck Yew has said the internet is not an effective self-regulated regime. Mr Lui added that the internet community had not done enough to rebut some of the unhelpful comments delivered by fellow netizens.

He said bloggers and website proprietors need to maintain credibility, while netizens should do more to establish and enforce the norms of acceptable online behaviour.

"It is a squandered opportunity for a higher degree of self-regulation. It would have been an example of the genesis of the first step towards a more responsible, a greater self-regulatory regime. But many of those responses were not rebutted nor answered. And I think it is not healthy for some of those to remain on the net unchallenged, unquestioned, and unanswered."

-- Lui Tuck Yew, Senior Minister of State for Information, Communications and the Arts
