Actually I find that childcare not very flexible.  I peep through the windows of quite a few childcare centres. They will tell you all sorts of things they  teach the child and all  bullshiting  time tables. The truth is they actually do the learning in the morning. The rest of the day, if you haven't notice, they just let the kids nap and watch TV. They don't allow the kid to drink too much water for fear that all kids rotate to go to the toilet and  if your kid still haven't finish  their meal within certain time frame they will just throw it away. Just get a nanny and put the child in a PAP kindergarden lah....give those hdb aunties a job instead.

I AM working full-time and my husband is currently on a long-term overseas working stint. My official working hours end at 6.30pm and I usually take about an hour via public transport to get from Raffles Place to Sengkang to pick my son up from his childcare centre every day, while my mother helps to take care of my 17-month old daughter at home. At first, this arrangement suited me as the childcare centre closed at 9pm. Two years ago, they changed this to 8pm, and then they adjusted it again last year to 7.30pm. I was alarmed by the new timing as this meant I could not afford any unexpected delays or mishaps. I had to brave the crazy rush-hour traffic with my heart in my mouth, praying I would not be late to pick up my son or else I would be fined. The final bombshell came last month, when the centre issued a notice to say they would adjust the closing time to 7pm with effect from June 1 this year in accordance with stipulations by the Ministry for Community Development, Youth and Sports. I was shocked — no way am I going to be able to make the trip in half an hour. I do not have anyone else to rely on to pick up my son, and I have already tried calling other childcare centres to seek a place for him, to no avail.  [sUpply  restrIctIOn ? ? ? ?] As most of the centres were full as of March, I can only be on the waiting list. I am near to desperation for an alternative.

Do we really want a casino as our icon? Letter from Tong Jee Cheng IT is disappointing that the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort (picture) is fast becoming an iconic representation of Singapore. We see it in the background in local television dramas, we see it in tourist leaflets. It seems to appear often as backdrops in the various advertising media. The first I heard of such sentiment was at a talk held at the National Museum — the speaker, whose name I cannot recall, was a local historical researcher. And in another local newspaper, a retired architect and urban theorist echoed this sentiment and said he would rather that the Botanic Gardens be the iconic landmark for Singapore. Which other country in the world has a casino as its most famous icon? |

Proper sales process carried out: Prudential Letter from Pauline Cheah Director, Corporate Communications, Prudential Assurance Company Singapore WITH reference to the letters from Mr Alex Ang Chung Chung (“An ill advised plan”, April 2) and Jessica Loy (“Not the right place to sell complex insurance products”, April 5), Prudential Assurance Company Singapore has been in contact with Mr Alex Ang and are currently investigating the issue as raised by him. With reference to the sale of insurance products at SingPost branches, we wish to assure consumers that the proper sales process is carried out on such occasions. Where such services are available, Prudential Singapore places financial consultants who are fully trained, qualified and certified to provide financial advice and sell insurance products. This ensures that these products are sold in the correct manner. In addition, all Prudential products come with a minimum 14-day “free look” period, during which the customer is at liberty to change their mind about taking up the policy. Having adequate and the right insurance coverage for times of need gives customers peace of mind. Last year alone, Prudential Singapore paid out over S$148 million in claims to over 32,000 cases. |

Rainy-day provisions for smokers nOt acceptable I work at DBS Tower 2. I recently received anemail from our building management which states: “In accordance with the National Environment Agency’s regulation, smoking is also prohibited within 5m of entrances exits.” I replied, asking where smokers are supposed to smoke when it rains, since they all currently smoke under the shelter which is within 5m of the building’s entrance. The reply was: “During raining days, there is exception for this and movable ashtrays will be provided at the boundary of the building.” I am wondering what the NEA’s stance is on this? Considering how frequently it rains in Singapore, I don’t see how it’s an acceptable solution. Letter from Troy Parry |
