HDB: Land will revert back to govt when lease expires

www.temasekreview.com
The long suspected truth is finally out: contrary to popular belief, Singaporeans do not “own” their HDB flats after all – there are merely renting them from the government for a period of 99 years.

《老友狗狗》奪首季收視冠軍


馬浚偉、鍾嘉欣主演的劇集《老友狗狗》成為TVB今年首季收視冠軍,平均收視31點,最高收視更達至35點。

馬浚偉在劇中一改以往的斯文形象,以長穿人字拖、‘爛撻撻’造型示人,新鮮感十足。

得知《老》劇成為首季收視冠軍,馬浚偉開心地說:“觀眾喜歡爛撻撻的‘人字拖’,對我有很大的鼓舞!我現在拍攝每部劇都力求變化,給觀眾新鮮感。《老友狗狗》的台前幕後工作人員都很同心,有難得的火花。希望公司會開拍續集。”

不過《老》劇的監製梁材遠卻不打算開拍續集。他說:“本來拍《老友狗狗》續集仍有題材,但我喜歡拍攝新劇種。總之觀眾看得開心,我們就滿足。”

Money & Happiness


The Wall Street Journal had an interesting piece recently looking at what brides and bridegrooms would save if they invested the money spent on their weddings, rather than blowing it on a one-day affair.

The author suggests that couples who lay out the median cost of a wedding -- nearly $18,000 in 2009 -- are actually missing out on $90,000 to $200,000 in
wealth accumulation over a lifetime. (He notes the average bride is 26 years old, so the money would have roughly 40 years to grow.)

"Dress Down Day" policies

E-mail 1: 1.00pm, Monday: Dress Policy:
From tomorrow, a casual dress policy will be implemented company-wide. Enjoy leaving your dark suits and white shirts at home!

E-mail 2: 9.30am, Tuesday: Dress Amendment 1:
Thanks for supporting the new policy. But please note: jeans and T-shirts should NOT be worn.

E-mail 3: 9.50am, Tuesday: Dress Policy Amendment 2:
When we said jeans and T-shirts should not be worn, we did not mean we wished you to remove those garments. Would the humorous guy in the junior division please note: the rest of us do not wish to see your baggy underpants and saggy singlets!

E-mail 4: 9.59am, Tuesday: Policy Amendment 3.
Urgent. We were all amused when the junior division took the previous e-mail as instructions to remove their underpants and singlets. Indecent exposure is a criminal offense.

E-mail 5: 10.19am, Tuesday: Dress Policy Amendment 4:
Our in-house legal counsel informs us that indecent exposure is NOT a criminal offense on private property. But in the interests of decorum, all staff MUST wear smart-casual clothes, such as sports jackets or mid-length dresses, from tomorrow.

E-mail 6: 9am, Wednesday: Amendment 5:
We are all highly amused the gentlemen of the junior division have come to work in mid- length dresses today. From tomorrow, only women are allowed to come to work in dresses.

E-mail 7: 9.25am, Wednesday: Amendment 6:
Thank you for referring us to the Equal Opportunities Commission. No sexual discrimination was intended by the previous e-mail. Senior partners are meeting to review the policy. Men from the junior division may retain their dresses until then.

E-mail 8: 11am, Wednesday: Dress Policy Amendment 8:
The dress casual policy is canceled. All staff are required to wear dark suits and white shirts from now on.

North Borneo Federation

The territory of the proposed federation







The flag of the North Borneo Federation
The North Borneo Federation, also known as Kalimantan Utara or North Kalimantan was a proposed political entity which would have comprised the British Colonies of Sarawak, British North Borneo (now known as the Malaysian state of Sabah) and the protectorate of Brunei.

The proposed federation was originally proposed by A. M. Azahari and was particularly favoured by the Brunei People's Party, which he led. This was seen as an alternative to joining the Federation of Malaysia; which was seen as an unnatural and unfavorable union by some. Joining to form Malaysia was seen as a new form of colonialism under Malaya.

The basic concept behind the formation of a union of British Borneo was partly based upon the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in Southern Africa. After the defeat of the pro-democracy revolutionaries in the Brunei Revolt, the idea was put to rest. Had the federation been formed, the capital city would probably have been Kuching, Kota Kinabalu or Bandar Seri Begawan (the historical capital of the region).

Currently, there still remains a small group of people who favor the creation of such a state and desire separation from the rest of Malaysia. These groups see current state of affairs as being unfair to the people of North Borneo, particularly Sabah, as the majority of the region's wealth goes to the federal government; only about 5% of the region's oil revenue goes to the state governments of Sabah and Sarawak.

Furthermore, Malaysian politics have usually been West Malaysia-centred and seen as neglecting the needs of East Malaysians. However, this changed following the Malaysian general election, 2008 which saw both the East Malaysian states keeping the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition in power. Since then, much development and importance has been given to the two states.

Prior to that, some opposition parties in the Sarawak State Assembly have tried to evolve such a federation. The matter was refused to be debated in the Assembly due to its sensitivity, by the coalition of governing parties in Sarawak, namely the Barisan Nasional lead by Pehin Seri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud.

The sultanate of Brunei has traditionally opposed such a federation. When it was first proposed during the 1960s the Sultan of Brunei favoured joining Malaysia, though, in the end, disagreement of the nature of such a federation and disagreement on oil royalties stopped this from happening.
