[quote=\"JR\"]On the topic of school holidays, 1 September will be half day for most schools, I believe. Then 2nd September (Friday) is a school holiday for Teacher's Day.... :imcool:

Nah...I don't think 1 Sep will be half day because 2nd Sep is already a school holiday.

Depends on each school. But would think that there will be some sort of celebration, could combine Hari Raya and Teacher's Day celebration...[/quote] :? Why talking about holiday for teacher's day?

WCW:

anyone know if there is any announcement that 27 August is a public holiday :?

Think should be a public holiday as my kid's childcare not open.

WCW, i think reason is we still have not confirmed if there WILL be an election vote or not. By nomination day, will be confirmed, imo.

errr, l4Tutor,

PM's pay is pegged to certain % of President's salary wor.

if President earn 4k, then PM will earn 3.8k ?? :evil: :evil:

then all the cabinet ministers will earn 2k, same as those FT on S passes ? :nailbite: :nailbite:

Read in Sunday Times about some of the comments made by the 5 presidential candidates - the 4 Tans and 1 Kuan. Somehow got the impression that a couple of them have their personal/political agenda for wanting to run for presidency.


With the US' economy now in the dark clouds and predictions of world economic thundestorm in the near future, I'm really worried that if those with personal/political agenda are elected, are they able to steer Spore away from the financial thunderstorm and into a brighter future? or will they just bicker with the govt constantly over political or micro issues?

I am more worried if the president just follow whatever is set and no noise at all.
