Beautiful natural area right at our doorstep!

Police telephoned me earlier this evening to inform me that they have arrested 12 young men so far.

The Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act provides for detention without trial in order to facilitate thorough investigations into cases like this. I am glad we still have these laws and an effective Police Force capable of quick and decisive action to break the backs of gangs like this.

Don’t hesitate to call the Poice if you notice any suspicious people loitering in our neighbourhood.

So many diverse societies in East Asia, yet remarkably similar challenges confronting all of us.

Action Sports competition and exhibition at Xtreme SkatePark this weekend.

More than 2 decades ago, Professor Arthur Lim had a vision for a centre that would systematically attract, nurture and retain talented ophthalmologists in the public sector; be totally obsessed with quality control;; focus on research ( way before it became fashionable); establish deep relationships with other world class institutions and deliver cost effective patient centric care.

Many generations of eye care professionals and patients will owe him so much.

Thank you to all the countless volunteers who contribute so generously of their time, energy and ideas to make life better for other Singaporeans. You set the tone for our society.

We decided to hold our annual Workplan Seminar in Penang this year. It will be a good opportunity to review and refocus our plans, projects and activities.

Many of us haven’t been back to Penang for many years. Still a rustic, charming and green island. Hawker food is great!

Our team will bring home 11 Gold, 11 Silver and 9 Bronze medals.

For comparison, during the period from 1958 to 2006, Singapore won 13 Gold medals.

We are on the right track. Congratulations to all the athletes, parents, officials and supporters!
