http://singaporeinsight.blogspot.com/2007/03/temasek-accountable-to-govt-on.html
Friday, March 9, 2007. Temasek accountable to Govt on portfolio basis. MR PATRICK Tan Siong Kuan ('Billions at stake, so Shin saga a national concern'; ST, March 3) was understandably concerned that if Temasek Holdings' investment in Shin Corp made losses, Singapore would lose national reserves. But this is not the right way to measure Temasek's performance. This approach has yielded good results. As of March 2006, Temasek has delivered a compounded annual return of 18 per cent in terms of total shar...

http://singaporeinsight.blogspot.com/2007/03/drogba-looks-to-english-clubs-european.html
Friday, March 9, 2007. Drogba looks to English clubs' European domination. CHELSEA'S striker Didier Drogba believes English clubs are on the verge of another golden era in European football. The Blues, along with Liverpool and Manchester United, are through to the last eight of the Champions League. That means the Premiership outstrips Italy's two, with Spain, Germany and the Netherlands limited to one each. Now it's perhaps England's turn,' he said on Wednesday. 'At one stage, Spain was on top.

Krystal Jade: Conserve energy, raise thermostat to 25 deg C
http://krystal-jade.blogspot.com/2007/03/conserve-energy-raise-thermostat-to-25.html
Saturday, March 10, 2007. Conserve energy, raise thermostat to 25 deg C. I FIND the buildings in Singapore very cold - sometimes extremely so. Enter any cinema, hotel, office, etc, and one cannot help but to put on a jacket. Even parliamentarians need to put on jackets - just watch any parliament sitting. With global warming, every effort is needed to conserve energy. I suggest the temperature in our buildings be raised, following Japan's example, to 25 deg C. Helen Low Beng Lan (Ms).

Thursday, March 1, 2007. United States President George W. Bush looked startled, as the basketball he had dropped failed to bounce up. It was a practical joke played by Shaquille O'Neal, the Miami Heat's star centre. The National Basketball Association champions had been invited by the president to visit the White House on Tuesday. He said: 'They had the stars, but it was the capacity to play together, to put the team ahead of themselves, that enabled them to be here at the White House.'. Meyer, 50, dies...
