PRC woman on our MRT

A Singapore housewife was complaining to her daughter about her husband’s infidelity and blurted out the sentence – “cheap PRC slut!” which was overheard by a PRC aunty standing nearby who thought it was directed at her.

She kicked up a fuss and demanded an apology from the Singapore lady who continued to ignore her throughout the journey.
The 40 year old PRC woman shouted angrily at the Singapore lady:
“Who are you scolding a cheap slut?”

She insisted that the Singapore lady explain why she is “cheap” and why she is insulting her in this manner.

The PRC aunty later cried loudly on the MRT and made a din there till the MRT station staff and police arrived to resolve the matter. -Temasek Review

Singapore Healthcare

THE Government is making a further distinction in the privileges enjoyed by citizens and permanent residents, this time, in the health-care sector.
Citizens already benefit from higher subsidies than PRs. New changes will widen that gap to 20 percentage points.
It means a PR patient in a C class hospital ward will receive a subsidy of 45 per cent to 60 per cent, whereas the citizen's subsidy remains unchanged at 65 per cent to 80 per cent.
In a B2 ward, the PR patient's subsidy will be 30 per cent to 45 per cent, compared to 50 per cent to 65 per cent for citizens.
The changes will be made in two phases, in January and July next year.
Announcing this on Thursday, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan called the changes a 'meaningful refinement to the current policy' and added: 'The key point is that citizens should enjoy better subsidy than non-citizens.' - Strait Times

Election and the Hen

Dr. Ng Eng Hen was popped the question as to why MM Lee was not stepping down by Mr. Dennis Tan, a workplace safety and health trainer and member of the National University of Singapore Society (NUSS) at a dialogue following Dr. Ng’s speech to members of the NUSS and NUS alumni and staff on Friday night (22-1-10), to his credit he appeared not flustered and was able to give a dipolmatic answer. Dr. Ng replied: “The question is, does MM add value to Singapore? I’m not talking about in history, I’m talking about now. That’s the question that should be asked, not whether he should retire or not. Singaporeans must decide. MM spots pitfalls, he tells you what to avoid. He pushed for F1, for the IRs. So you decide. At the end of the day, it’s the vote. If his constituents at Tanjong Pagar feel he’s not adding value, they are free to vote.” -Temasek Review
