'Act on hotspots'

An article on straitstime.com, 'Act on hotspots',reported that SINGAPORE has urged Indonesia to take action to address the hotspot situation in Sumatra that is responsible for cloaking parts of South-east Asia in a foggy haze, resulting in Singapore's Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hitting a four-year-high.
(Extracted from original article)

For past years, the region around Indonesia has been plagued by the annual haze nusiance caused by irresponsible cultivation method in Indonesia. This annual nusiance has not only threatened the health of the residents in the region but accelerated the process of global warming. Rather than being told to put out the fire every year, this practice of cultivation method should be put to a stop. Rather than allocating funds to put out forest fires annually, these money could have been used to improve the lives of the people in the country.

Harsh rules and regulations should be set to punish selfish farmers who have caused this annual haze in the region.

Some S’poreans swear off McDonald’s after photo experiment

It did not really irk me after reading the article "Some S’poreans swear off McDonald’s after photo experiment"(http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010/10/18/some-sporeans-swear-off-mcdonalds-after-photo-experiment/) on yahoo home page. In fact, I am even more disgusted by employment of schooling youths by these fast food chains.

It is not only the range of unhealthy food they have offered in their menu but the exploitation of youth below sixteen to work for them for a low wage. I wonder if this can be considered as a form of child labour. As much as fighting child labour in the third world country, Singapore should enforce stricter employment restrictions for these fast food chains due to two main reasons:

1.) These youth should spend more time in school learning
2.) Low wages do not bring about a cheaper priced menu

In my opinion, it is time for these fast food chains to exercise their social responsibility. Stop the practice of employing "schooling youth"! Don't deprive them of a future!

Team behind fake bear video apologises

It is indeed a creative uploaded video which is absolutely lack of social responsibility.

In an interview with MediaCorp radio station 987fm this evening, Nicholas Ye, the creative director behind the guerilla marketing campaign, said there were no intentions to cause the public any harm.

"I'm very apologetic of any sort of alert we might've caused the parents. Right now we're just really trying to suss out the sentiment, we're talking to all the relevant people that we might've caused concern to. But also, there are a whole bunch of people, a lot more people actually, who are very engaged by the campaign."

This gentleman simply don't understand that his team has not only been a social nusiance but a nusiance that could have diverted the law enforcers from real life threatening situations as well. Stricter laws and regulations should be enforced to prevent people or companies to misuse the media for their own selfish cause.

Windows Phone 7 Operating System: My 10 cents worth of view

After months of its initial launch, the new Apple Ipod 4 has dominated a large portion of the smart phone market in Singapore. Most telco companies in Singapore have claimed that Iphone is currently out of stock and will only be available from December onwards.

However, the absence of Iphone 4 may well be substituted by the Windows Phone 7 operating system which will be launched in October. The system has automatically integrated updates and messages from social networks such as facebook onto its screen. In addition, with the installation of Microsoft office, this little monster will definitely capture the attention of mobile consumers.

Other features include Zune music and video content, Xbox gaming platform, the Bing search engine and Microsoft’s OneNote software.

WindowS Phone 7 will definitely be a serious contender to top the Smart Phone market.
