Most of our grandparents communicate in dialects, however there is currently a severe language gap between kids and their grandparents. Our young generation today are not able to speak or understand dialects and this has led to a very sorry state of cultural erosion among our generation and our kids.
Other than being able to communicate with one's grandparents, why are dialects important? It is important to preserve our cultures and heritage. Once these disappear, they will be gone forever. Aside from Chinese dialects, there are also Malay and Indian dialects. These dialects should be viewed as key parts of Singapore’s culture and heritage. Some Singaporeans fear that by the next generation, no one in Singapore will communicate in dialect.
Therefore we wonder if is it time to make it compulsory to learn a dialect in Singapore schools.

Dialect is fun

If we implement learning dialect in schools, we do not need to learn dialects in the same way that we learn English and Chinese on an academically intensive basis. We can teach dialect as a third language, as we do French, German, Japanese and other foreign languages. In fact, we can teach dialects on a more casual basis in primary and secondary schools. This will not contribute to Primary School Leaving Examination or O-Level scores, but students should be expected to attend classes. Teachers can also teach students how to use dialects in certain social settings. Learning should be fun so that students remain engaged and focused.
It has been more than 40 years since the Speak Mandarin campaign kicked off. Its task was to encourage Chinese Singaporeans, who were long used to speaking dialects, to use more Mandarin. Founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew once said that to continue using dialects outside homes and schools is to interfere with the process of getting Singapore’s young to use Mandarin as their social language.
Mr Lee Hsien Loong, the current Prime Minister, has said that even though there was still room for dialects here, it is not pragmatic for dialects to be used more widely and mastered alongside English and Mandarin. He added that the trade-off between emphasising bilingualism and not promoting dialect use has allowed Singapore to maintain good English and Mandarin standards.
From an economic perspective, knowing dialects such as Cantonese and Hokkien will also help a great deal with doing business in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Many property owners might be confused between Landlord Insurance and Homeowners’ Insurance. These two may sound similar but they offer very different protections, so it’s good to take a bit of time to familiarise yourself with Landlord Insurance and Homeowners’ Insurance.
Homeowners insurance covers your house if it burns down, your possessions if there's a break-in, and medical and legal bills if someone gets hurt on your property. Homeowners insurance typically only covers the owners or occupiers, and offer enough coverage to protect assets at risk — building, renovation works, physical household items and personal belongings — for a list of insured events such as theft, natural disasters or any malicious acts by others. Some policies, e.g. FWD policies offers Zero Excess, which guarantees that you’ll not be charged for any excess when you have a claim due to burst pipes or fire.
However, homeowners insurance might not offer protection if you decide to rent out your home. Landlord insurance does. Set aside half a day to research policies.

Renting Out Your Home? Get Landlord Insurance
If you’re renting out your home (whether you’re a homeowner turned landlord or just sub-letting) it might not be covered by home owners insurance, so look into landlord insurance instead. Usually home insurance doesn’t cover rental activities, and a dedicated insurance is usually needed. Why? Landlords face challenges when it comes to maintaining the property and many unpredictable expenses also mean a bigger hole in your budget. That’s why Landlord Insurance is here to patch things up, so your profit stays in your pocket.
The common types of tenant-related risks include loss of rental income while the unit is uninhabitable, and non-payment. In fact, structural damage and property destruction are also hard-to-ignore realities; nothing lasts forever after all. However, there are things that last much longer when you take the right step, like your peace of mind.
Does all of this sound intimidating? Home Insurance protects homeowners against the unanticipated expenses that may arise should you ever encounter challenging situations; Landlord Insurance can help cover potential financial pains.
Whether you’re looking out for the roof over your head, your personal belongings or rental income, you can always rest assured that your peace of mind is protected. Personalise your cover and get the best home insurance in Singapore

Dietary exposure to soy products produces genistein in humans and it increases vasopressin - a chemical in our brain that is widely linked to behaviour that produces long-term, faithful monogamous relationships among couples.
Genistein is a plant-derived estrogenic isoflavone commonly found in soy-based products such as soymilk and soy-based dietary supplements for treating menopausal symptoms, for example. Vasopressin is a neurosecretory nonapeptide synthesized primarily in neurons of the hypothalamus and secreted into the bloodstream from the posterior lobe of the pituitary.

Vasopressin is linked to behavior that produces long-term, monogamous relationships in prairie voles
Chemicals at work during romantic love are oxytocin and vasopressin, hormones that have roles in pregnancy, nursing, and mother-infant attachment. Released during sex and heightened by skin-to-skin contact, oxytocin deepens feelings of attachment and makes couples feel closer to one another after having sex. Oxytocin, known also as the love hormone, provokes feelings of contentment, calmness, and security, which are often associated with mate bonding. Vasopressin is linked to behaviour that produces long-term, monogamous relationships. The differences in behaviour associated with the actions of the two hormones may explain why passionate love fades as attachment grows.
Vasopressin and wound healing - Women with high levels of vasopressin also had faster wound repair than women with lower vasopressin and men. Women with menopausal pain also suffered lesser when they have higher levels of vasopressin.

Located at Block 13 Old Airport Road, the store is a new community shop set up by charity Food from the Heart, where the needy can get their food - ST Photo
Even as supplies fly off the shelves at supermarkets across the island, one store in Mountbatten remained well stocked with provisions on Saturday morning (8 Feb 2020) - despite patrons having to pay nothing for their purchases. Located at Block 13 Old Airport Road, the store is in fact a new community shop set up by charity Food from the Heart, where the needy can get their food. Carrying only donated goods on its shelves, the store opened on Saturday (8 Feb 2020) and is expected to benefit 500 needy households from the Mountbatten and MacPherson neighbourhoods.
At this store, which is the first of its kind here, beneficiaries can choose up to 12 items a month, "purchasing" them by scanning their beneficiary cards at the counter of the store, which is manned by volunteers. This system will also allow the charity to collect data on dietary preferences of its beneficiaries under a year-long study, targeted at developing a smarter food donation system. Members of the public seeking to donate food can also drop their food items off in a food drop box at the store, rather than having to go to the charity's warehouse.
In some cases, he said, noodles and cooking oil have also been donated to elderly who are unable to cook, resulting in it going to waste. The community shop resolves some of these problems (as) beneficiaries can collect what they need, when they need them.

Kindness Mart, a social enterprise is an online grocer. When customers buy any item from the online store, the money goes to helping needy families
Kindness Mart, a social enterprise is an online grocer that sells more than 140 brands of food & drink items, toiletries, household supplies, etc. When customers buy any item from the online store, the money goes to helping needy families. Mr Steven Goh, 40, its founder and managing director, said: “All of the proceeds are used to support the disadvantaged and needy, to pay the bills that they are unable to settle on their own.” This charitable mission of Kindness Mart sets it apart from other online grocers.
PARK $2 Project (P2P) a social enterprise group with the objective of helping needy families in Singapore
PARK $2 Project (P2P) a social enterprise group called out to its fellow volunteers thru their facebook page on 8 Feb 2020 and accumulated close to S$10,000 within a day, allowing more than 200 needy families to secure food staples and cleaning agents in the form of goodie bags.
All these and various other initiatives as well as unsung neighbourhood heroes happening all over Singapore is a heart warming assurance that Singaporeans have the ability to care for the people around them and it shows a strong social resilience for Sigaporeans to get through this crisis together.

List of Household Disinfectants / Cleaning Products Effective Against Coronaviruses - NEA Singapore
Due to the recent cases of human transmission of Coronaviruses to locals of several countries around the world, Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) issued an Interim List of Household Products and Active Ingredients for Disinfection of Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) to help reduce the spread of this deadly virus among the people in Singapore.
According to NEA, many general household products contain the appropriate concentrations of active ingredients (A.I.) that are known to inactivate coronaviruses. For general precautionary cleaning, detergent and water are adequate. For disinfection of areas that are very likely to be contaminated with 2019-nCoV (e.g. bedroom of a person confirmed to have a 2019-CoV infection), disinfectant/cleaning products listed in Table 1 can be used. The product list is based on currently available data and active ingredients known to be effective against coronaviruses (Table 2). Both tables will be updated as data from more products are gathered, and as more products are assessed to be appropriate.

Both tables will be updated as data from more products are gathered, and as more products are assessed to be appropriate.
In addition to the use of cleaning agents, other treatments effective against coronavirus include steam and heat treatment.
Important points to note:
1. Check the labels and use according to instruction, and be aware of the potential
hazard of each product.
2. For disinfection of highly contaminated surfaces or material, avoid the use of spray, and allow appropriate time needed for disinfection (refer to product instruction).
3. This product list should be read in conjunction with the Guidelines and Advisories issued by NEA with instruction and guidelines on how to conduct proper cleaning and disinfection of premises.

Table 2 - Active Ingredients & their Working Concentrations Effective Against Coronaviruses - NEA Singapore
Each of the disinfectant product typically comprises one of three active ingredients namely, quaternary ammonium compounds, chloroxylenol and sodium hypochlorite. Avoid contact with eye and skin. When sodium hypochlorite is used on metal, wipe away residues after 10 minutes with wet cloth as it is corrosive to metals.

Learn Dialect in Singapore created 3 videos - in Cantonese, Teochew & Hokkien for seniors to protect themselves against the Wuhan virus
Many Hokkien-speaking seniors in Singapore do not have a strong command of English or Mandarin. Hence, a group called "Learn Dialect in Singapore" created three simple dialect speaking videos in Teochew, Cantonese and in Hokkien to highlight the precautions that they can take to protect themselves from the Wuhan coronavirus in their various different dialects.
The video below was created with the intention to reach as many dialect speaking seniors in Singapore as possible. As such, the creators of this video has chosen to use everyday Teochew, Cantonese and Hokkien that most Singaporeans are used to and thus, may include some words from other languages too. In similar manner, they have also included English and Mandarin subtitles.
The creators of this video hope this helps to bridge the communication gap between dialect-speaking seniors and our healthcare professionals, volunteers or simply anyone who is less fluent in dialect.
Please help us to share this with anyone who may find it useful. Let's overcome this battle together! 🙏

Using hands to open or close public toilet main doors after we washed our hands subject our hands to germs & viruses
Anyone, who has ever been in an overcrowded or uncomfortable public toilet, will value a good toilet design. The usual demands placed on a high-profile, high traffic and heavily used facility requires extra thoughts for each process.
A well-designed public toilet has to be:
(a) Clean and dry
(b) Well ventilated
(c) Easy to maintain
(d) Carefully planned layout with maintenance in mind
(e) Friendly to persons with disabilities and special needs
However, due to the current Coronavirus situation faced worldwide, taking responsibility for our hygiene is important to combat the virus spreading around the world from Wuhan, China. We may not have hand sanitiser in all public spaces. It is available only in places such as hospitals and clinics, and some shopping centres.

We may not have hand sanitiser in all public spaces. It is available only in places such as hospitals and clinics, and some shopping centres.
Pubic toilets designed without main doors will prevent the spread of viruses and germs
Some members of the public have suggested that it is therefore now the time for the Government to pass a law and order the removal of all main doors of public toilets by the end of this year so that users do not have to touch the doors after they wash their hands thus preventing the spread of viruses & germs.
The main entrance shall preferably have no door, and the cubicles, urinals and mirrors shall be away from the line of sight from the main entrance. For example, the door can be replaced by offset entrance maze which blocks the view yet allows easier, hands-free access for public usage.
What is your opinion on this?

There are currently 524 people under quarantine as of Sunday (2 Feb 2020) as our nation tackles the spread of the new coronavirus from Wuhan. Those under home quarantine will have to take video and phone calls to ensure they do not leave the premises, and regular spot checks will also be conducted. Those who breach the quarantine order may be fined or jailed.
Recently a Facebook user Collike posted some photos on his profile showing the initiatives taken by caring neighbours during this trying period. He wrote: "It started off with someone in the blk of 267b punggol field, placing a bottle of hand sanitizer and masks in the lift. After that more neighbors joined in the “pay it forward “ initiatives. Neighbors started to chip in surgical masks, alcohol swabs, N95 masks"

The site seeks to provide a safe and private way to explore sexual fantasies, without the additional cost and potential awkwardness of booking a hotel room.

Rent dungeons to re-enact interesting scenarios while enjoying your overseas trip
How did KinkBnB come to be?
A friend of the founder had a guest room posted on a popular accommodation site and without any warning her listing got removed. She complained about it online and the founder decided to post a mock website and picked up the URL Kinkbnb.com. Within a day, they had 100 people sign up. That's how the idea kicked into a profitable company after that.
In Leipzig, Germany, you can rent a prison cell in a prison for the night. All you get is a prison cell.

In addition to fun specialised spaces, there are also a lot of very beautiful classic dungeon spaces that have adult furniture, like crosses and cages and swings and things.
