This week, the museum will have an exhibition featuring figure paintings by Singapore abstract expressionist Wong Keen. The Mica atrium is a public area which is visited by memb...

Friday, March 9, 2007. Leaders capitalise on friendlier Classic. THE leaderboard after yesterday's opening round of the Clariden Leu Singapore Masters 2007 tells the whole story. Golfers who teed off on the more generous Classic Course at Laguna National Gold and Country Club occupy the top 14 spots. Australian Marcus Fraser and China's Liang Wenchong were tied for the lead, after both carded solid bogey-free eight-under 64s.

http://singapore-weblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/extend-senior-citizen-concessions-to.html
Saturday, March 10, 2007. Extend senior-citizen concessions to visitors. I REFER to recent letters urging the extension of travel concessions to the whole day. I agree fully with the writers. It is an appropriate way to show respect to seniors. Many First World countries extend such concessions to senior citizens of all countries. Many, if not all, European Union countries extend concessions on train and ferry travel and to local attractions to seniors. We are not very trusting, are. Gade demands more pr...
