He might have hit on a 16-year-old, but let us support him because he is funny

Life is a long and often difficult journey, and what Jack and his family are going through is what he might have presented in his own movie, except that this time it is about himself.

We are used to having Jack make us laugh, bring cheer to our daily lives, explain our trials and make them easier to bear. Let us rally around Jack, his wife and his children at this time.

-- George Yeo, Foreign Minister

Maelle Meurzec, now 21, told The New Paper in an interview at her Upper East Coast road home on Tuesday night, that the 50-year-old movie director hit on her while she was acting in his movie I Do I Do in Nov 2004. She was then 16.

At least 10 more women are reported to have been linked to Neo since his affair with 22-year-old Wendy Chong first broke last weekend when the freelance model showed up at his Pasir Ris semi-detached house last Friday, demanding to see his wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46.

Oops, we forgot there should not be foreigner in the militray in the first place

Mr Koo Tsai Kee claimed that SAF has been "practising productivity all this while” because “there are no foreign workers or foreign talent in the SAF, which is made up entirely of Singapore soldiers."

"The SAF, despite its manpower constraints, has been able to face up to a widening range of security threats in recent years under Defence Minister Teo….And I am not saying this because he’s my boss."

-- Koo Tsai Kee, Minister of State for Defence

We are deaf to your criticism and please do our job instead of giving us problems

"All except one frog who did reach the top. And when asked afterwards why he ignored the crowd, the frog said: 'I'm deaf. I can't hear them.'

We never give up. We are like the little frog. We are deaf to all these criticisms. So instead of telling us that low-wage workers are having problems, why not be part of the solution?"

With this tale, labour chief Lim Swee Say responded to opposition MP Low Thia Khiang (Hougang), who repeated his criticism of a day earlier that low- wage workers continue to languish, and that the labour movement ought to do better and work harder.

Two years of NS for Singaporeans, a short 30-day holiday camp for new immigrants

NS was a 'sore and critical milestone for many' and Mr Seah Kian Peng wondered if men who become new citizens should be called up for NSmen duties.

"This could be in the form of a short 30-day induction to Basic Military Training in the Singapore Armed Forces, he said.

We teach them to use rifles, fire weapons, basic physical fitness, or we put them into civil defence training where they could learn rescue techniques."

Avoid falling sick on Mondays and Tuesdays

Avoid Mondays and Tuesdays if you want to get a bed fast in a public hospital.

The reason: These are the days when bed occupancy rates are at their highest, when the number of people needing beds exceeds that available.

However, the quality of care is not compromised while patients wait for their assigned wards.

-- Khaw Boon Wan, Health Minister
