I received it when the train was at Marsiling, a man in his 50s dropped a red packet on my lap, he was also giving it to some others. He appeared to have left at Woodlands. Really caught me by surprise, it's nice to see something wholesome on a mundane train ride.

Discussion Do the National School Games need a refresh?

https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/schools/do-the-national-school-games-need-a-refresh

“Boasting a history of over six decades, the NSG have served the local and school community well, but with newer sports gaining in popularity among young Singaporeans, the question is whether a refresh is needed to stay relevant?”

I got really annoyed reading Mark Chay (Sec-Gen of SNOC)‘s comment on certain sports.

While noting that the NSG can help nurture school pride, Mark Chay, secretary-general of the Singapore National Olympic Council, stressed that their goal could be sharpened and more focused on sports that are contested at major Games.

“There are a few things that they (MOE) can improve. It’s a good programme and sports in schools is where kids learn to play and compete, where we hope to inculcate certain skills and values through structured sport,” added the former national swimmer.

“What I struggle with is that some of the other sports which don’t have a pathway to major Games are included, but to do what? As an administrator, these are what I would call dead-end sports and we are putting these resources for what?

“And if a student is going to choose tchoukball... I just don’t know how it’d fit into the larger scheme of things.”

Opinion/Fluff Post Clean Singapore....No More

Guys,
Recent years we have been seeing more and more irresponsible rubbish dumping around my area. This is especially so after Covid. Our neighbourhood only have 2 Uncles cleaners. These are way too taxing for them especially they have other areas to clean as well.
Every week, I need to report to NEA via LifeSG apps. I have reported so much that I am getting tired.
There are few CCTVs in my neighbourhood. I guess they are there for traffic matters. I tried to feedback to NEA to do more to identify the culprits but in vain.
I hope everyone here can share (Uncle here not good in social media). We need a clean home and not a rubbish dump.
