Tuesday, September 5th, 2006Use Public
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006Few days ago, I saw a sticker on a taxi “If you drink, use public”. The sticker was issued by the SPF
At least the key goverment organizations should get their propaganda material proof-read by the people behind the Speak Good English Movement
“If you drink, don’t drive” was clear.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s 2006 National Day Rally Speeches
Monday, August 21st, 2006The PM spoke in 3 languages: English, Mandarin and Malay. When will there be a speech in Tamil ?
The Current Press Releases site SPRInter (linked to from www.gov.sg) for several minutes displayed : ..There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request..
English text of the speech in Malay
English text of the speech in Mandarin
English text of the speech in English
Why are the title texts in ALL CAPS ?

Dear sprinter administrator, see Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes which states ..I noticed several headlines in ALL CAPS. That’s always bad. Reading speed is reduced by 10% and users are put off by the appearance of shouting..What about the Malay, Mandarin text of the speech in English ?
Freedback for the SPRInter
The PM stated “mrbrown is a talented man” (found @ the about page: And I have a regular Friday column I USED to have a regular Friday column for TODAY newspaper.)
There was also reference to the TalkingCock
Audio and Video are available @ ChannelNewsAsia

Which one should I buy in Singapore? Dell or HP or Lenovo or Acer or something else?
Pluto Technology‘s ad in the July 2006 PC Magazine Singapore was impressive. (the website not as impressive)
The purchase is planned during COMEX 2006 Singapore

Update on 2006 sep 03 – Ordered a Dell 9150
