Family Service Centre

-
Tonight, I visited one of the family service centres in our island to learn more about its operation.
It was an enriching visit. Prior to the visit and presentation by the staff of the family service centre, I did not have an inkling of what is the operation of family service centres but after the visit, I realised the staff, the counsellors at the family service centres actually play such a criticial role in our society!
The family service centre runs a host of social welfare and education programmes and outreach, targeting the various segments of our people: the children, the youth and the family. Such programmes include martial counselling, youth guidance programs, child management, counselling for the gambling addicts, families troubled by domestic violence, financila woes, etc.
The centre also run tuition, school holiday progranes interest class, lunch time talks for the enrichment of family and children.
Together with the other organizations offering social assistance, family service centres form the bedrock of our social fabric, lending a hand to those in need.
In these economically trying times, more and more families would be affected, the role and importance of our social welfare organizations will be even greater.

The article was titled “Why I choose to remain Single?” in which Dr Lee shared with readers the reasons for her choosing to remain single. Dr Lee began her article describing the great love, care and bonding between her parents, especially during this period when her mother’s health is not as good as before. Few paragraphs later, she brought readers back to her reasons for choosing to remain single, though it was mentioned Dr Lee has suitors and dated before. As gleaned from the article, the two reasons Dr Lee gave for choosing to remain single are: “Firstly, my mother set the bar too high for me.

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne...
