  my warehouse boys, 2 of them does part time at night (right after work) for Pizza delivery..
  
  they work from 8am...pack, pack and sort CDs...mentally and physically tired out till 4pm. then continue 5pm till 11pm...zooming in and out traffic, trying to delivery pizza asap (to earn more money), next day come to work, eyes hardly open...
  
  so one fine day, one of them kana accident and he blamed the other car driver banged him...and i suspect he himself was half asleep. I dun pity him.

  Lemme guess.... inflation because of increased consumption taxes (read: GST).
  
  They'll come up with any lame excuse, knowing that the people are just gonna suck it up.
  
  After all, what was the excuse last year? 'People can afford to pay more, so it's okay for us to charge more.'

  GST is the main thing
  
  I just find it unbelieveable that it took them now to reject SMRT's application on basis it's return is the highest worldwide

  From Todayonline
  
  THE Media Development Authority (MDA) has confirmed that it is investigating MediaCorp Radio over a programme on Class 95 that solicited comments from listeners on the subject of sex which may have contravened the Radio Programme Code on good taste and decency.
  .
  The programme, which aired on Aug 21 between 7am and 8am, had hosts Mark Van Cuylenberg — The Flying Dutchman — and Glenn Ong, asking listeners to call in or SMS with their views on whether loud noises in the bedroom were a turn-on.
