[ovirt-users] Think twice about social media posts

2019-04-15 Thread 827403zvzsz
People today share everything on social media, like their daily activities, the food they eat and their locations. However, they do not realise that they are inadvertently giving people information about themselves or their situations. For example, if someone posts a picture of himself leaving

[ovirt-users] Smoking rampant inside Orchard Towers

As much as efforts are being made to make Orchard Road a smoke-free zone, there are still other areas for the National Environment Agency to consider (Warnings for lighting up in no-smoking zone to end, March 30). I was at Orchard Towers with a friend a few days ago, and I was shocked when I re

[ovirt-users] Why the hassle to collect Malaysian vehicle entry permit?

2019-04-15 Thread 827403zvzsz
About two years ago I was asked by the Malaysian Ministry of Transport to apply for a vehicle entry permit (VEP) costing RM20 (S$6.60). All this was done online. I have been informed that the VEP is ready and can be collected at one of four places - Lima Kedai Toll Plaza, Pandan R&R, Gelang Pat

Dr William Wan was willing to be vulnerable when he openly wrote that personal testimony about how he and his daughter recovered from her drug addiction (Hope and life beyond drug addiction, April 1). In a shame-based culture, most people would rather hide than come out to admit failure in life

[ovirt-users] Why the need to investigate egg-the-minister case?

I would have hoped that the police had better judgment than to follow up on the report lodged against an online comment about throwing an egg at a minister and commencing investigation (Remark about throwing egg at minister a joke, says 20-year-old, March 27). Seen in context, it seems pretty c

Mr Phillip Tan Fong Lip's call for care and compassion is not unwarranted (Show compassion to those coming here to earn money, March 27), yet this compassion must be tempered with caution, discretion and respect for the law. Open policies, lax laws, inefficient policing and lenient sentencing wi

I was shocked to learn that the hypertension drug Losartas, which has been prescribed to me by a SingHealth polyclinic for more than 10 years, has been recalled by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) as it contains higher than acceptable levels of a potentially harmful impurity (3 brands of high

A recent survey found that some 15 per cent of Singaporeans found Muslims threatening, and that those who live in private housing were more likely to think this way (15% of respondents find Muslims threatening, March 29). This points to one striking, positive inference: The Government's policy o
