it would be nice to have a web feed by postal code
- government can update the web feed as well as the notice board.
- residents can apply online to update info to the web feed (things for sale) - which can be displayed on the notice board for a fee !
- wip
Can you feedback to your government ? How easy ?

Few 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.
The mrbrown Show is hilarious. The latest is the mrbrown show: native speakers corner
mrbrown: use Pretty Permalinks
Do you know that Singapore is the host for the 2006 Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group.
Since it will be _the_ event in Singapore for 2006, there is a website appropriately named Singapore 2006
..The Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund†(IMF) and World Bank Group††are the largest and most comprehensive gathering of global financial representatives in the world, and are held outside their Washington, D.C. base every third year.. WOW

The 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
