Casino in Singapore

(With reference to "Don't slay the goose that lays golden eggs" by Aletheia Chan, 15 Sep 2004)

I beg to differ from the view that "the presence of a casino will erode Singaporeans' will and drive to work hard, and will, instead, divert their attention towards gambling skills and other sleight of hand". We should not jump to such conclusions too quickly. For instance, does the presence of churches make everyone a Christian?

Googlary = Google library

In today's digital world, it is not surprising that books and information have gone electronic. Google and the Internet has indeed replaced the conventional brick-and-mortar libraries.

First of all, search engines bring information to our fingertips while searching for books in a library can be very time-consuming. Even with library catalogues to help, one may still have to face the disappoinment upon learning that the books of interest are currently on loan.

Furthermore, online content is certainly richer than those on paper. While books can only have static text and pictures printed in it, webpages can also support videos and interactive media. If a picture is worth a thousand words and a video consists of many pictures often accompanied with audio, then videos can get a message across better.
