This accident will teach a lesson to those who drive without license, you let your parents worried for you when you are outside driving.

Ng Yao Zhong - Japan to restore perks for using solar power

Japan is using solar power for houses and decided to equip more than 70 percent of the new build houses with solar panel. They subsidies part of the money needed to build solar panel in each household during 1994 to 2005 but they stop cooperating with Q-Cells a Germany company due to its overtaking Japan's first supplier of solar cells Sharp Corp. The reason they did this was to become a global leader in green energy and also to cut down the emission of greenhouse gas by 60 to 80 percent by 2050. They also decided to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels to improve its green credentials.

Personal View:
Japan had decided to be one of the global leader in green energy is quite an irony because Japanese use about 30 billion plastic bags a year an amount equivalent to a full day's worth of crude oil imports and they lose tens of thousands of umbrellas on trains every year.But still they decided to cut down the amount of greenhouse gas produce by them and save the mother earth which is sick and it is one of the reason why temperature in Singapore is rising and floods occurring over the world.

Ng Yao Zhong - Fourth varsity: 2,500 places, focus on skills across fields

Mentioned on last year August that there will be a fourth university in Singapore which include 3 different kind of skills engineering, design and business. The purpose of the fourth university is to increase the enrollment rates for undergraduates from 25 percent currently to 30 percent which is around 2,400 places and is equally divided for the polytechnic graduates and junior-college students. Besides the fourth university, the government also recommends: building a small liberal arts college in National University of Singapore, introduce new programmes to all 3 university and last of all expanding the polytechnic niche degree programmes. The fourth university will be a little different from the others instead of a chosen skill the will learn skills across fields.

Personal Views:
Its good news that the fourth university is going to be build soon which means that our country is still developing and people are working in the tertiary industrial. The fourth university is kind of unique due to the way they pick up their skills which also give more chances to other polytechnic graduates and junior-college students to further their studies. Students with one of these skills will be a help to the economy next time.

Ng Yao Zhong - Security checks tightened at Changi Airport

Security checks at Changi Airport's terminals appear to be tightened due to what happened recently. A retiree being let through for a flight to Vietnam on Monday using his son's passport. In the News and the papers reported that the 61 year old retiree Ang Heng Soon, got hasty and grab the wrong passport when he is catching his plane to Vietnam. Airlines said that they were taking Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng statement seriously and is taking precaution. The job of the officers was to check the passengers' name and faces using their travel documents before they will allowed to approach the Immigration Automated Clearance System.

Personal Views:
This mistake made is probably due to complacency of the officer which will be a grave mistake if the person who left the country is one of the wanted villains we are after. This mistake will cause Singapore to lose reputation even though its the first time after so long but, Singapore government took actions the following day which all the airports terminal got extras officers stationed at the entrance to ensure that this incident will not happen again. Singapore government efficiency is one of the fastest among all other countries which lead Singapore to develop well.
