This week the National Day quiz had shifed to Channel 8.
They upsized.
Now each SMS cost $0.30.
Sad!

How our Telco earn money.
Yesterday was watching the news on channel U and they started a segment to give viewer a chance to win a pair of National day Parade tickets.
All the viewer got to do is to answer a simple question and to text it to a specific number, and of cause each SMS cost $0.20.
Now here is the catch, I would have thought the winner should be picked by a lucky draw or the first correct answer.
But those clever blood sucker states that the winner should be “The one with the correct answer and the most SMS”
Bloody conman.
Rather then let this be a “get to know you nation more” event, I felt that this is just another money making exploitation by our Telco.

National Flag
I was just wondering a few days ago, when I saw the National Flags being displayed by the RC all over the island, why are they are flying the flags so early this year?
I remember the government did states only to fly the flags in the month of Aug.
Well look like they just amended the law this year, now you can even wear the national flag!!

To keep pace with these changes, and to encourage Singaporeans to display their pride and loyalty to Singapore, MICA has taken steps to amend the Singapore Arms and Flag and National Anthem Act. The notifications were published in the e-Gazette, Subsidiary Legislation Supplement on 16 July 2007 and take immediate effect.
Flying the Flag during the National Day Celebrations period
a) The National Day Celebrations period will be extended from 1 July to 30 September each year (instead of 1- 31 August currently in force), during which the Flag may be flown without a flagpole and night illumination.
b) National Flag decals and stickers, posters or other visual images may be displayed freely. Additionally, the National Flag may be flown on vehicles (both private and commercial) during the National Day celebrations period.
c) The National Flag may also be displayed on costumes and personal attire during the period with the requirement only that the Flag be treated with respect at all times.
