Breaking News!!! e last case was more than 20yrs ago!

SINGAPORE - A highly decomposed body of a man was found at Pandan Reservoir this morning, reported the Lianhe Wanbao.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call at about 9.10am informing them that a body had been found in the reservoir.

Officers got to the scene and pronounced the man dead at about 9.17am.

According to the Chinese daily, the man has been identified as a 30-year-old Chinese national.

Based on the state of decomposition, the body is believed to have been undiscovered for several days.

He was found floating face-down by a PUB staff who was conducting checks around the area.

The deceased was wearing an orange coloured T-shirt and jeans.

Police are still investigating the case. Members of the public who have any information that can assist the police should call 1800-2550000.

This is the most recent case in a spate of deaths discovered at Bedok Reservoir.

Six bodies have been recovered since June this year, the last being the body of a Chinese man found on Nov 5.

Totally Absurd!!!

U may think that those wishing to suffer extreme public scrutiny while making decisions that affect millions of citizens would demand the big bucks, but when it comes to pay, many world leaders look like chumps compared to the CEOs of many corporations. While most salaries pale in comparison to the likes of Warren Buffett's, some are downright huge when compared to the people a leader may govern.

Top 10 Political Leader's Salary by Country (2010):
1. Lee Hsien Loong (Singapore): $2,183,516
2. Donald Tsang (Hong Kong): $513,245
3. Raila Odinga (Kenya): $427,886
4. Barack Obama (United States): $400,000
5. Nicolas Sarkozy (France): $302,435
6. Stephen Harper (Canada): $296,400
7. Mary McAleese (Ireland): $287,900
8. Julia Gillard (Australia): $286,752
9. Angela Merkel (Germany): $283,608
10. Yoshihiko Noda (Japan): $273,676

SG population hits 5.18 million!!! But PR nos decline!

Singapore’s population grew by 2.1 per cent to reach 5.18 million as of end June this year, even as the number of permanent residents fell.

The increase this year is slightly higher than that in 2010, when the total population registered a growth of 1.8 per cent.

This year's expansion was due to an increase in citizens and non-residents, with the former growing by 0.8 per cent to reach 3.26 million in 2011, according to the Population Trends 2011 report released by the Singapore Department of Statistics on Wednesday.

While the number non-residents grew by 6.9 per cent to reach 1.39 million in 2011, this was down from the highs of 15 per cent in 2007 and 19 per cent in 2008. Non-residents refer to foreigners who live, study or work here without permanent resident status.

In contrast, the number of permanent residents declined by 1.7 per cent to 532,000. This was after growing 1.5 per cent in 2010 and at least 6 per cent each year between 2005 and 2009.

The report also found that the median age of the resident population rose from 37.4 years in 2010 to 38.0 years in 2011, reflecting the ageing population here. The proportion of residents aged 45 and above also increased.

As such, the ratio of working-age residents to elderly residents dropped. There were 7.9 residents aged 15-64 years for each resident aged 65 years and over in 2011, a decline from 8.2 in 2010.

Comparing changes between 2000 and 2010, the report showed that the proportion of singles among residents increased by 2 percentage points to 32 per cent in 2010, while the proportion of divorced or separated residents also increased by 0.8 percentage point to reach 3.3 per cent. The proportion of married people declined to 59 per cent of the resident population.

The education profile of residents was found to have improved over the last decade, with some 49 per cent of the resident non-student population aged 15 and above having at least post-secondary qualifications in 2010, up from 33 per cent in 2000. The share of university graduates also increased significantly from 12 per cent in 2000 to 23 per cent in 2010.

Not AGAIN?

Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s comments that a female student pursuing her doctorate degree should “not waste time” and find a boyfriend have drawn criticism from a large local women’s organisation.

Nicole Tan, president of the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware), argued that his views run counter to statements by Minister of State for Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports Halimah Yacob to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (Cedaw).

Kitchen Cures

When we’re feeling sick, we look at the medicine cabinet to see what pills we can take. We should check out the pantry instead. Many everyday ingredients can treat different ailments and unlike drugs, they are inexpensive and with less side effects.


Honey

Honey is good for cuts and scrapes. It has three powerful components: sugar for absorbing moisture so bacteria can’t survive, hydrogen peroxide to disinfect and propolis to kill bacteria. Plus, the honey dries to form a natural bandage. Just spread thickly over the infected area.


Olive Oil

Olive oil is actually the basis of many skin moisturizers. For eczema, rub olive oil on the skin to keep it from drying out.


Spicy dish

“ Good for a stuffy nose or congestion, spicy dishes loosen the mucus by making the eyes and nose run.


Garlic

Garlic is antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and an antioxidant so it has many uses. Take garlic when you have a cold to fight the infection and boost the immune system. Mix together minced garlic, warm water and honey for taste. Leave the garlic in the mixture for a few minutes then swallow without chewing. Another way of taking it is by chewing raw garlic cloves with honey. Repeat every two to three hours. Garlic can also be used for athlete’s foot due to its antifungal nature. Simply rub a clove of raw garlic to the affected area.


Baking Soda

Baking soda is used to remove odor so it makes weird sense that you use it for body odor as well. Sprinkling baking soda on your armpits and feet will reduce the moisture you produce.


Chamomile Tea

Wrapping cold, wet tea bags in paper towels can help sooth itchy eyes from colds or hay fever. The tannic acid in tea reduces the itch. Chamomile tea can also be used for calluses. Soak your feet in a diluted chamomile tea bath to soften the hard skin.


Ginger

Ginger has anti-sickness properties so it can help in nausea. Pregnant women can also relieve morning sickness by taking ginger biscuits.


Turmeric

Turmeric is good for treating many skin ailments. It can be used to sooth acne, scrapes and sunburn. Mix several drops of water with ½ teaspoon of powdered turmeric to make a thin paste. Apply the mixture on the blemishes or sunburn and leave for an hour. Be sure to rinse after because turmeric stains.


Rice Water

Bangladeshis have been using rice water as a treatment for diarrhea forever. The proteins in the rice help stabilize the bowel and it’s tastier than any medicine.


Banana

Who knew that aside from being a yummy snack, bananas can be used for bug bites? All you have to do is eat the fruit and apply the banana peel fruit side down on the bite. Hold it there until the itching subsides.

How to Deal With Annoying Co-Workers

annoyin ppl r everywhere so it depends on how u deal wif them!

read tis article on Yahoo News! juz tht of sharin... i like e last sentence ;)


Unless you're extremely lucky or tolerant, you'll have your share of annoying co-workers over the years. Here are the six most common types and how to deal with them:

1. The interrupter. Whenever you're talking with a coworker, this person finds a way to butt in. She answers your questions to other people, and you can't have a private conversation without her ending up in it.

The solution: There's only one way to make it stop, and that's to address it head-on. The next time this happens, say something like, "Actually, I really wanted to get Jane's input on this. Would you give us a minute?" If he doesn't back off, say it again: "Thanks. Actually, I really want to talk to Jane about it." Say it nicely, but be firm.

2. The know-it-all. This person has an opinion on everything and loves to tell you how to do your job better.

The solution: Let it roll right off your back. The more you ignore this person and don't let them get to you, the better. When they offer an unsolicited opinion, say, "Thanks, I'll think about that." And if you find yourself getting frustrated, comfort yourself with the knowledge that this person is widely considered obnoxious; you're definitely not the only one annoyed.

3. The slacker. You're working away and she's playing on Facebook or planning her wedding. Every day. It's obvious to you and your other co-workers that she's not pulling her weight, but for some reason your boss doesn't do anything about it.

The solution: Try to ignore it. Sure, it's possible your boss is letting her get away with it, but it's also possible your boss is addressing it behind the scenes; you probably wouldn't know about it if that was the case. Either way, the answer for you is the same: If it's not affecting your work, it's really not your business. If it does affect your ability to do your job (because you have to take on her work, or you're dependent on her work in order to do your own job), then raise it with your boss from that perspective, keeping the focus on how it affects your productivity.

4. The grump. The grump exudes negativity. Suggestions, new practices, the new guy down the hall--he hates them all and he makes sure people know it.

The solution: Have a sense of humor. Try to see this person as your own office Eeyore. If that doesn't help, remember that this person is miserable. Happy people don't behave that way, and remembering that might make dealing with him somewhat easier.

5. The speakerphone lover. For some reason, this co-worker always plays back her voicemail messages on speakerphone ... or worse, has whole conversations on speakerphone, with an utter disregard for how annoying it is to those around her.

The solution: Just be straightforward. Say something like, "Hey Meredith, would you mind taking your phone off speaker? It makes it hard to concentrate."

6. The blabbermouth. The blabbermouth goes on and on and on. She's especially talented at roping you into long conversations that never end when you're on deadline or trying to make a phone call.

The solution: Be assertive, and don't let the blabbermouth have so much power over how you spend your time. Speak up! Say, "Sorry, but I'm on deadline and I've got to finish something up." If she still keeps going, be even more direct: "I need to stop talking and get back to work."

In fact, with most types of annoying co-workers, the solution is simply to be straightforward and assertive. Not angry, not hostile, just direct--but that's something that can make people anxious, so it's important to know that it's really okay to speak up for yourself in a matter-of-fact, professional way. And if that fails, just be glad these people aren't in your family.

For Those Who Have Been Anticipating Doomsday!

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The U.S. evangelical broadcaster predicting that Judgment Day will come on 21052011 - Saturday says he expects to stay close to a TV or radio to monitor the unfolding apocalypse.

Harold Camping, 89, previously made a failed prediction that Jesus Christ would return to Earth in 1994.

But the head of the Christian radio network Family Stations Inc says he is sure an earthquake will shake the Earth on May 21, sweeping true believers to heaven and leaving others behind to be engulfed in the world's destruction over a few months.

"We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen," said Camping, whose Family Radio broadcasts in more than 30 languages and on U.S. and international stations.

His supporters have posted about 2,200 billboards around the United States about the coming apocalypse, and dozens of followers are driving across the country to spread the news.

Volunteers also handed out pamphlets warning about May 21 as far away as the Philippines, telling people God had left clear signs the world was coming to an end.

Camping, a civil engineer who ran his own construction business before turning to evangelism, told Reuters he planned to spend May 21 with his wife and watch the doomsday unfold.

"I'll probably try to be very near a TV or a radio or something," he said. "I'll be interested in what's happening on the other side of the world as this begins."

Like his last prediction, Camping's doomsday date is based on his reading of the Bible and a timeline dating back to ancient events including the Biblical flood survived by Noah.

Camping's pronouncement of a specific date for the apocalypse puts him outside the Christian mainstream.

But his contention that the souls of believers will leave their bodies and enter heaven in a rapture is a central tenet within many Christian churches.

Stephen O'Leary, an expert in religious communication at the University of Southern California, said the idea of rapture first appeared in Christian teaching in the 19th century.

"It is very appealing to people," said Barbara Rossing, professor of the New Testament at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago who describes "an enormous end-times prophecy industry" including video games, board games, books and more.

Tom Evans, a spokesman for Camping, said at least several tens of thousands of people listen to Family Radio's message.

One of those is Allison Warden, 29, of Raleigh, North Carolina, who most recently worked as a payroll clerk for an Ohio company and now runs the end-times website Wecanknow.com.

"My boss does not agree with this but has been very understanding and supportive," she said. "He thinks next week I'll be back to work like normal."

Dogs Are Men's Best Friend

For years, Hachiko used to wait at Shibuya train station (Tokyo) for its master, a professor at the University of Tokyo. Even after the professor died, the dog went to the station to wait for his master every afternoon for a decade until he finally died.

Scientists have settled a decades-old mystery by naming a cause of death for Japan's most famous dog, Hachiko, whose legendary loyalty was immortalized in a Hollywood movie starring Richard Gere.

They say Hachiko died of cancer and worms, not because he swallowed a chicken skewer that ruptured his stomach — as legend had had it. Hachiko was considered such a model of devotion that his organs were preserved when he died in 1935.

Ice Cream That Made People Raised Eyebrows ^.^

The new parlor pays 15 pounds (SGD 24) for every 10 ounces of milk and has already had 15 mothers become donors. Each lactating woman undergoes the same health checks used by the UK's National Health Service to screen blood donors.
