Chairman for the Government Parliamentary Committee for Transport, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, said new rules to enhance the safety of workers transported on lorries should kick in sooner rather than later.

cflee: Simon Hackett of Internode (more like, Mr Internode) on why Internode has shifted their internal staff email from an open-source IMAP server to Microsoft Exchange 2007 earlier this year.  I think the missing link for me, despite Snow Leopard, is still Outlook Web Access.

THE report card is out for the 16 here - and the two opposition- run ones, Potong Pasir and Hougang, did not fare well. The Ministry of National Development’s (MND) first biannual Town Council Management Report covers six indicators across four key areas: Estate cleanliness, estate maintenance, lift performance and arrears on service and conservancy charges (S&CC). What’s new?

Rumor has it that the new Jetta features a modified version of the platform used to underpin the Golf Mk5/Mk6 models. Design wise it is likely to be heavily based on Volkswagen’s New Compact Coupe that was shown at this year’s Detroit Motor Show.

“SMRT’s emphasis on ‘the need for commuters to play their part’ skirts the larger public concern about the adequacy of SMRT’s security infrastructure. While we are cognisant of our role in ensuring the security of the MRT system as commuters, we question the extent to which SMRT expects us to go in ensuring the security of the SMRT depot facility.” In the meantime, the Ministries of Transport...

Today the Straits Times carries a report on a Swiss national who has landed into trouble with the law in Singapore. Oliver Fricker, a business consultant, has been charged in court for trespass and vandalism…The Straits Times used Oliver’s photo from Facebook. Imagine the implications…
