Is Madam Chung medically fit to revoke LPA
A LPA is a very serious piece of paper that accorded great powers to the holder over the finance and wealth and health of a person that gave the LPA to. Now Madam Chung Khin Chun is under an appointed medical expert to determine if she is medically fit to revoke the LPA. What if she is found to be unfit to revoke the LPA? Would the holder of the LPA still retain the power and continue to exercise that power legally?
I would presume that if Yang Yin is found guilty of fraud and declared unfit to be the guardian, the court could revoke the LPA on Madam Chung’s behalf. What if there is insufficient evidence to make a conviction and Yang Yin is discharged or acquitted, does it mean that he should still legally be the guardian of Madam Chung with the LPA?
Can it be so scary?
Madam Chung’s case exposed a serious flaw in the LPA process. These are likely to be people at a point of losing their mental capacity and lucidness. And they could totally lose their ability to revoke the LPA very soon after granting it and in case of a similar fraud, how are they to revoke the LPA on their own? Going through the due process of the law and OPG could be time consuming and by the time the matter is settled, all the assets could be disposed off.

Firm loses $2m to secretary
A local company is suing its secretary for theft amounting to $2 m.
Apparently the secretary had been depositing the company’s cash cheques
into her own pocket for a period of 7 to 8 years. And the cash cheques
were in sums of $30k to $400k.
Taking this as an example for discussion, who is to be blamed? The secretary is at fault for sure. What about the company? How could a secretary keep on taking cash cheques from a company without anyone noticing it for such a long spell of time and for such a considerable sum of money?
What is the moral of the story? If you allow a thief to keep taking away your money without resisting, or did not want to bother, did not want to know or do anything about it, you deserve to lose your money. By not wanting to do anything, or not bothering, it is like telling the thief, actually not a thief, to take and take and take.
Apply the same logic to the jobs in the country, the space and the whole country. If we let foreigners to keep taking away our good jobs, our space, and eventually the whole country, and not doing anything about it, we deserve to lose everything, all our possessions and even our country.
Do you want that to happen, daft Sinkies?

Sino Indian border tension flared up during Xi Jinping’s visit
When Modi visited China, the border was peaceful. When Xi Jinping made a
reciprocal visit, border tension flared with India ramping up its
activities in the disputed region and the Chinese side returning the
favour. This is looking like a repeat of the meeting between Nehru and
Zhou Enlai. When they met in cordial settings with Nehru famous quote,
‘Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai’, border tensions flared up too. While public
gestures were all friendly and warmth, the Chinese did not know that
India was building up a special 4th Corp to capture the disputed
territories from China.
India finally revealed its aggressive intent and invaded and captured some of the disputed territories with Chinese border guards on the retreat. But after reorg and with the arrival of backup troops, China launched its counter attack and sent the Indian 4th Corp fleeing in the most one sided humiliating military defeat in modern history. The great Indian Army fled in the face of Chinese peasant soldiers.
Would Modi do a Nehru against Xi Jinping? Today India is an aspiring superpower in the making. It has all the modern and latest weaponry money can buy. The Indian armed forces are many times better equipped and stronger than during the times of Nehru. Is Modi harbouring a desire to avenge the defeat of Nehru with a new Look East Policy? He is now in Washington after visiting Tokyo and negotiating defence pacts. What is the undisclosed agenda?
Should Modi ever indulge in another military adventure, he must take note that this time round, if the Indian Army could not succeed and went scurrying back, the PLA would not withdraw from the disputed territories anymore. This time the PLA will stay put and will not be as generous and kind like their predecessors. They would not repeat a mistake twice. They would settle the border issues once and for good.
What would it be the case? Another Sino Indian border war in the making to pave the way for an Indian Century?

Singapore is the safest place on planet Earth
Many foreigners are so impressed with everything Singapore. Most of all they are bowed over by the safe and secure environment for bring up a family. Young ladies and children can wander home in the wee hours of the night with being mugged, very low drug offences, very low crime. Our safety record is legendary.
After the Hong Lim Park Affair, we have another feather on our cap. The Singapore Tourist Board can proclaim to the world that we are the safest place on planet Earth. In this latest event, the parents were so confident of the safety and security here that they had no qualms or reservations to bring their little children to a party in the Park where a political protest rally was being held. They knew that nothing of any violent nature will happen and their children will be absolutely safe. And that was exactly what happened.
And the Park administrators also believe so. They have many experiences allowing different parties with different agenda in the Park at the same time and have been proven to be totally safe. The latest event vindicates their faith and judgement that we are a very safe country.
And to make a point, the protestors were made to apologise to the parents for making too much noise that frightened some of the children. And the protestors were truly sorry for interrupting the children’s party. And the Minister that attended the event also apologized as well for this little mishap.
And the public were so angry with the protestors for their rough and loud behavior that they chastised them publicly in the main media. This is our standard of social behavior. The protestors in a mass rally must be conscious and mindful of children having parties in the same Park. With this experience I think in future they will lower their voices and shouting when the children are around.
So, another new slogan for STB, ‘Singapore is the safest place on Planet Earth’. Come to Singapore for a safe and pleasant holiday with your families and have a good time. Tourists can also go to Hong Lim Park to watch a protest rally with no fear of being hurt. Absolutely safe! And if they are annoyed by the protestors, they can demand an apology from them too.
I think this slogan will be 100 times better than F1, and costs nothing except maybe say thank you to redbean for suggesting it.
What about the riot? What riot? Oh you mean the Little India Riot. There is nothing to it. The rioters are very nice people. And if you are lucky, they may arrange a tour package if a riot is on for you to have a ringside view of the rioting. Everything is under control and very, very safe. Only slight hitch is that the traffic could be so heavy that you may not be able to get near it. And you would also have to compete with parents wanting to bring their children to watch the riot too. See how safe Singapore is!

Singaporeans that made us proud
(30 Sep) – For a Secondary One student just crowned champion at the Asian Games, Jodie Lai was remarkably calm.
“I’m very happy because I won gold,” said the Singaporean sailor, cool as you like, as cameras flashed and reporters thrust phones in her face.
Lai, 13, finished clear of an eight-woman field in the optimist race Tuesday afternoon, after nearly a week of racing at the Wangsan Marina in Incheon, South Korea....
Raynn Kwok was awarded a late silver in his optimist race after protesting his initial fourth-place finish. The 12-year-old is now Singapore’s youngest-ever medalist at the Asian Games, displacing fellow sailor Ryan Lo who was 13 when he won bronze in the optimist event in 2010.
