Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s 2006 National Day Rally Speeches

August 21st, 2006

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 ?

sprinter headlines 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
