Tay Ping Hui as Best Actor in Star Awards 2012, Sharon Au as a likely PAP MP?

I believe Tay Ping Hui will clinch the Best Actor Award in the Star Awards this year. Tay Ping Hui started his acting career 15 years ago in 1997. His first TV show was as co-actor together with Thomas Ong. I believe Tay will clinch this Best Actor Award this year finally.
Tay’s  latest show is the current Channel 8 TV drama “Rescue 995” where he played a SCDF officer. I think this show comes at a good timing as the image of SCDF may have be tarnished a little with the alleged corruption of Peter Lim Sin Pang. Hence Tay’s role in “Rescue 995” will really help to restore the confidence of the public in SCDF.
Off the screen, Tay Ping Hui is best known for being a member of PAP. It was reported some years ago that he may consider entering politics. But as things are now, Tay Ping Hui does not contest the General Election 2011 as a member of PAP. If there is another potential actress who may be a member of Parliament in the PAP camp, it would have to be Sharon Au whom I believe will contest in the next General Election as a member of the PAP; she will then (I believe) to be a member of Mediacorp’s Senior Management.
Right now, the artiste in Parliament is Janice Koh who is a nominated member of parliament. Janice Koh’s husband is Lionel Yeo, a Senior Civil Servant who is now Dean of the Civil Service College.

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

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
