A tourist trap?
THE newly reopened Newton Food Centre has drawn flak from some
Singaporeans who say that it serves more as a tourist trap than a
real hawker centre.
Soonkueh writes: "Some of
the food is quite palatable, but you can equally great tasting food
at lower prices elsewhere!"
Complaints about Newton's hard-selling hawkers also abound.
Cheryl512 writes: "Was
there a couple of weeks ago, and was actively pursued by this
grilled seafood stall auntie."
But Khoo Lih Han says:
"The excellent food and the wide variety of local delights is what
attracts tourists to Newton. The ambience is terrific too."

A case of porn?
THE incident in which a communication skills trainer hired for a
month by the Institute of Technical Education was caught on a
cellphone camera masturbating to a pornographic video has spurred
debate on whether the students who shot and put the video on the
Net should be charged for possessing and distributing
pornography.
Wherehouse says the
students "may also be at fault despite their 'public spiritedness'
in relaying this far and wide".
But jsbn thinks otherwise:
"A student who caught a trainer with his pants down shot it on the
phone and told others about it. How does big-time whistle-blowing
constitute an offence?"
