Channel NewsAsia - Saturday, July 4
SINGAPORE: The Elections Department has started appointing assistant returning officers to conduct Singapore’s next general election, which is due by February 2012.
The department’s chief, Lee Seng Lup, told Channel NewsAsia on Friday that it needs some 1,300 assistant returning officers and it is sending out notification letters in batches to inform these officers of their appointment. So far, 900 have been notified.
Besides assistant returning officers, the department also requires another 26,000 officers for roles such as presiding officers and counting assistants. 20,000 of these officers have been notified so far.
The officers are organised into nine contingents, each under the charge of a contingent leader who is designated as the group assistant returning officer (GARO).
Among other things, the notification letter informs an officer of his appointed role, the contingent he belongs to, who his contingent leader is, and the URL of the computer systems he can log onto for more information to access the e—learning programme.
The officers will be trained on their specific roles and duties. These include their legal powers and activities leading to Nomination Day and Polling Day.

Shall not bore with long paragraphs for two simple truths shall suffice:
1. The government is NOT the PAP. PAP is the current ruling party, they form majority of the government, but they are not the government. So if you want to call civil servants and public servants dogs, at least call them right. Dogs of the government, not the PAP. Assuming they are even dogs, that is, which brings me to my next point.
2. The government is not everything. It is because you, the whiners, have made them the bad guys for everything, that is why they have become everything. Some of you guys might, at this point, label me as a dog ( remember, it is dog of the government). But I cannot be bothered and am going for lunch now.

food i understand. there are now less farmlands and more people to feed. price of food of course will go up.
TV tax is ?????????? what quality shows have they been offering for the past few years? they no longer cover alot of sports. there was WWE and and broadcast of international matches such as WC, eurocup in the past. but now, we have to subscribe to the ever-and-ever more expensive cable tv to watch these matches.S-league isn't a proper substitute.
and the lastest movies they broadcast are also 2-3 years old... not exactly the "latest" in any sense of the word.
and commercials are getting ridicuously long, with almost 5-7 minsutes of commercials for every 10 minutes of the show, especially so during the prime hours.
so what lame duck reason are they using to justify for the rise in TV tax?
and i have yet to see the advantage in rising the GST from the original 3% to the current 7%. in the end, the government still have to create a scheme to return back some of the gst revenue back to the people. then what is the point of increasing it in the first place?
and it is very heart breaking to see on ur recipes that for every meal you eat, esp those that come with a receipt, the amount you apid for GST.
gst for consumer products like computers, still not too bad. theyare non-necessities. but food? everyone has to eat everyday, and the government still wants to squeeze revenue out of our everyday right to existence by taxing us for what we eat?
