Electricity Tariff
Ξ July 27th, 2005 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
did you know that wef from 1st July 2005, your electricity tariff has just increased by 13.64%??
http://services.spservices.sg/cs_services_elec_latest-rates_frameset.asp?ID=
were you informed? Was it reported in the news? was it in the papers?
From http://www.spservices.sg/news/PressRelease-30-June-05.pdf:
Fuel cost makes up about 50% of the cost of electricity. The fuel sources for power generation are oil and gas, and gas prices in Singapore are indexed to oil prices. An increase in oil prices will thus lead to higher electricity costs.
so… oil price = gas price… but how much did they pay for the gas in actual fact? also pegged to oil price meh? I dun remember Indonesia or Malaysia doing that…

so… both the cows in my office are leaving… I guessed as much… people who have worked in the public sector cannot adapt to the working style in the private sector…

Best thing… my boss went over to ask one of them something earlier today, and her reply was “if you need to talk to me for more than 10 mins, go talk to my boss first”…. what the fuck?
And after tendering the resignation letter, they resorted to turning up for work late, and getting MC for no apparent reasons… oh well…. I rest my case… I am glad they are going…to hell with them….
Life in Mars!!!!!

It’s one small step for a bug, a giant red face for Nasa
FAR from discovering life on Mars, Nasa may have put it there. The American space agency believes the two rover spacecraft scuttling across the red planet are carrying bacteria from Earth, writes John Harlow.
The bacteria, bacillus safensis, were found in a chamber in California that had been used to test the rovers. Officials believe it is likely some of the microbes, possibly from scientists’ skin, were on board when the mission left.
The craft, Spirit and Opportunity, landed on Mars last year. One key task was to look for signs of life — now it seems that if there are any organisms, it is man who has put them there. If proved, the contamination would raise concerns at possible breaches of a United Nations treaty to stop other planets being polluted from Earth.
The claims have been made by Kasthuri Venkateswaran, a microbiologist at Nasa’s spacecraft assembly plant in Pasadena. His tests have shown the microbes could survive space travel, the landing on Mars and the planet’s bitter -60C climate. It is believed the bacteria are living inside the electronic circuitry of the two landers.
The error is revealed in Out of Eden by Alan Burdick, a book to be published in Britain this year.
A Nasa spokesman said there were “massive odds” against the microbes becoming established on the planet.

They have come up The interim Board is expected to be made up of at least six corporate leaders, medical doctors, and even a lawyer. Mr Ee will also serve as acting CEO until a suitable candidate is found. He will take over the day-to-day running of the NKF from Monday. But does that mean Mr Khaw’s task will be over? Mr Khaw said: “My job is like a midwife, to deliver the baby, but also be concerned about how the baby is shaping up, coach it.” He expressed his confidence that with the right leadership in |

Peanuts
Ξ July 13th, 2005 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
So, paying $600,000 annually, with 10-12months of bonus to a CEO in a non-profitable organisation is peanuts…. according to Mrs Goh Chok Tong, wife of Senior Minister of Singapore.
Well, if he compares it to his husband, TTD sure earns much less… but then… NKF is a FUCKING CHARITY ok?!
But then again, comparing against the fact that we are paying $100k+ to the ministers of Singapores on a compulsary basis (due to tax), and that NKF is not a compulsary donation, I would say that its not that bad after all.
But does that mean NKF’s board of directors and the CEO can splurge like that?
Well, if its a business, yes… BUT NKF IS A FUCKING NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION!
And Mrs Goh, if his pay is peanuts, then I can tell you, 99% of Singaporeans are living in poverty. Are you trying to contradict our PM Lee, or are you trying to inply that he is lying to the general public of Singapore?
Oh…. did you know that TTD is a Grass Root leader back in the 60s for Toa Payoh (?). Anyway, he is a grass root leader lah…. what does that mean?? PAP member lor….
Am I implying in something?? thats for you to find out…
