Construction needs to grow or go

At what point does the Government or regulative authorities step in to ensure protection is given to houseowners and/or tenants for this ridiculous approach to building construction in Singapore. On that note why do the people not stand up and be counted? No body is directly responsible for managing...

Local Picture Framer

I've picked up some old framed prints from the secondhand store and they had a little mildew on the inside glass. I've managed to separate them and clean up however they are older style with staples and wooden backing. Could anyone recommend a local framer to assist with resealing the backs or any i...

No, we left at the end of the school year. No regrets. It sounds like the same problems with management are still there although I was up at the school recently and was pleased with some of the changes that have occurred. There are some great parents, teachers, staff and children at the school and I...

Sad to hear

that the parent body hasn't been kept up, we spent a considerable amount of time setting that up with the support of the Prinicipal and teachers.

We, as a body, made huge improvements in the school in the first six months by utilising the energy and enthusiasm of new parents and teachers.

It's a shame to hear that ER is still suffering from the same problems it had at the beginning of the year. We have now left the school and are very happy with our new school although initially we were apprehensive moving our child so quickly after starting with ER however we realised that there wer...

Filtered water

Given that your body requires so much water I see health benefits of using filtered water. Having used a water filter both here and at home I see the dirrect advantages for my family. I definitely notice the difference when we are consuming unfiltered water both in taste and healthwise and that also...

Enjoyed Langkawi last year too. Highly recommend the gondola, with fantastic suspension bridge at the top. We hired a car and went round the island checking out the local villages and enviros. Tanjang Rhu is the beach to visit, you can book trips through the mangroves to feed the eagles, check out t...

Stayed there initially for a few weeks with a child. The rooms are modern, clean and well laid out. Breakfast is included, small selection but adequate. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a self service laundry, nice swimming pool on the roof top with jacuzzi to sit in the evenings and loo...
