All i can say to this is :

If you felt the ride unsafe, why put your child on it? duh?! Shocked

anhydrouscoppersulphate SG

both parties got wrong.

This guy is deeply affected by the bad experience of losing his friend. I suppose his hightened fears prompted him to write to express his hope that effort to reduce the possibility of being infected would be implemented.

Then again, there is a reason we are labelled the 'nanny state'.

BillyBong SG

Nobody is disputing that the operator could be considered negligent.

But it is surely within your power as a parent to intervene should the situation call for it. Why let it happen and then complain?

This is our biggest flaw...we are reactive, not pro-active to potential dangers.

Ito_^ SG

the fruit complaint was quite reasonable - its hospital, even wash toilet oso muz be careful, not saying about things dat we consume. the equipment complaint is common-knowledge (dats y they no business in the first place) and the soil, its overreacting but nothing to be pissed about.

singaporeans really like to complain, either complain or complain about complains which are being complained about. hopeless.

sinicker SG

this is what happens when you study too much and know too much. you apply everything you know in everything you do!

what next?

"i feel that on the east-bound PIE carriageway, motorists exiting at Eunos Link should use Lane 4, Bedok North Road use Lane 3, Tampines New Town Lane 2 and Changi Airport Lane 1. this would be more systematic and hence reduce congestion on our roads!"

Extra Value Meals priced to offer greater savings

I WOULD like to clarify the matter raised in Mr Justin Zhuang Yukang's letter, 'Same fries and drink but different combo prices' (ST, Nov 11).

At McDonald's, we believe in giving our customers quality, tasty food at great value and convenience.

Our Extra Value Meals - which comprise a sandwich, medium French fries and a regular Coke - have been available for many years to provide our customers with ease of ordering and, most of all, greater value and, hence, savings (versus buying the three menu items separately).

For instance, a Big Mac Extra Value Meal (includes medium French fries at $1.95 ala carte and regular Coke at $1.70 ala carte) costs $5.90, versus the usual price of $7.25 if bought separately. This translates into a savings of $1.35, or almost 20 per cent.

Although the pricing strategy of our Extra Value Meals may differ according to choice of sandwich, the intent to offer greater value and savings remains.

We would like to assure Mr Zhuang and all readers that McDonald's is continually looking to offer even greater value to our customers.

Mr Fugue SG

You people apparently don't know the rationale for the ST to suddenly have a deluge of these somewhat insignificant forum letters in ST forum.

The elections are likely to come soon and what better time than to highlight these minor compliants to make it seem that everything in Singapore is hunky dory with no major problems.

Get it? Laughing

Dobermann, let loose by owner, savaged stray cat

ON NOV 5 at about 7.40pm, while walking along the fence demarcating some reserve land from Whampoa Market towards Balestier Road, I witnessed an act of cruelty.

A man let a Dobermann loose in the reserve land. As I approached the corner of the fence near Balestier Road, I saw a cat there. The dog also saw the cat and made a beeline for it. The cat dived into a drain but because it was a closed one, its escape route was sealed. The dog then bit the cat on its throat and took it away. It then flipped the cat in the air, bit its stomach and flung it about. The owner, seeing this, rushed forward and got the dog to release the cat, which lay on the ground writhing.

I told the man he should not have let his dog loose but he ignored me and walked away. I alerted a veterinary clinic nearby and two of its staff went to retrieve the cat but it had already died.

What if it had been a child who was attacked?

Why build more flats?

EVEN though there is an abundance of unoccupied new HDB flats, the Housing Board seems to be building more each year. Other than boosting the economy, is there any other reason for doing so?

It seems that every time the HDB has a problem getting rid of empty flats it would turn to singles. Wouldn't it be wiser to stop building flats for a period of time?

Loan out more books, not just during holidays

RECENTLY, my mother took my brother and I to the Punggol East Children's Library.

While I was returning books borrowed previously, a librarian told me that I could borrow eight books on one library card. My heart pounded in excitement.

That meant I could borrow 32 books with four cards, instead of the usual 16! I was as happy as a lark while searching for my favourite books on the shelves.

However, I was disappointed to learn that this scheme is only for the December school holi- days.

I hope that the National Library Board will extend the scheme beyond the December school holi- days.

I am certain this will further encourage children to read more books.

AVA should educate people on bird flu rather than seize pet chickens

I refer to Ms Leong Mei Lin's letter in the ST Online Forum on November 25 titled 'How can AVA take away my pet chickens without telling me?'.

I can deeply empathise with Ms Leong on her family's deep sense of loss.

I have had the privilege of living with canine and feline companions. I learnt that they too have feelings very much like ours. Even chickens are capable of developing the same bonds as our 'usual' pets like dogs and cats. You read heartwarming stories of rescued chickens in this website: www.bravebirds.org

I would be distraught if the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority comes and confiscates any of my animal family members in response to my neighbours' unfounded "kiasuism" and "kiasism".

We try very hard to imbibe humane values such as kindness and compassion in the development of our society. It was with amusement that I learned from a television programme a few years ago that the HDB estates are now called heartlands. I didn't know that before.

To me, a home with a heart is a place that accommodates a colourful assortment of people that includes those who like animals and those who dislike animals.

A home with a heart also accommodates for the community animals such as stray dogs and cats that, being born on this island, are as Singaporean as we all are, but they are being severely marginalised.

The AVA's rapid response to an unfounded public complaint about Ms Leong's pet chickens by swiftly removing them and preying on the ignorance and fear of the grandfather smacks of iron-fisted cold-heartedness.

I work with elderly people in the community and I can vouch that a large number of them still have trepidation when they get letters from the government.

The AVA should educate the complainants with facts, that these chicken are free of bird flu, instead of fuelling more fears with the immediate removal of the chickens. My heart remains in sympathy with Ms Leong and her family. I hope the chickens have not been killed yet.

This woman must a bleeding book-hogger!! What the fish does she need to borrow so many freaking books at one go for? Is she so underemployed that she has so much time to read all of them within three weeks?? If everybody is like her then even the library's vast collection won't be enough for everyone to loan out. What's wrong with borrowing a little at a time and making sure that you can read them thoroughly and return on time?
