      ...we should get a holiday off in lieu since students/teachers don't have to go to school on saturday.

      I don't know your logic here. It's illogical.

      Anyway, just so you know, school staff and pupils did get a day off on Monday, after GE2011 polling day. However, there was none after GE2015.

      I suppose for homemakers it doesn't matter, unless you want We Time with your working spouse who will get a PH 🙂

        Ong Teng Cheong was brought up yesterday by Mdm Halimah when she was asked about her former affiliation to PAP. Many Chinese FB users slammed her for making that comparison.

        [quote]To those citing her lack of independence, Mdm Halimah highlighted the late Mr Ong Teng Cheong’s presidency, saying he had been a deputy prime minister and a senior party member.
        “Are we in doubt that he was independent? So I think we ought not to look at the person’s affiliations in the past but look at the individual and ask the question of whether the person can do the job independently or not.”[/quote]HY just doesn't get it. She just hit a raw nerve by bringing up the first popularly elected president's name. How could she make that kind of comparison?

          Mdm Halimah unveiled her slogan 'Do Good Do Together' and was immediately criticised by pedants for its bad grammar. I thought it sounded uncannily familiar, like something that might be coined by Lim Swee Say (the guy who coined 'Cheaper Better Faster'). True enough when I googled, this came out!

            Does that mean she will not Do Well and Do More?
