Since I first installed the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag as part of Malaysia's Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) scheme on my vehicle three months back, it has never worked at the Johor checkpoints (Malaysia halts VEP enforcement at Johor checkpoints, Oct 3).
I ended up using the Tap-and-Go card, instead. 인터넷바카라
I put in RM100 (S$33) into the e-wallet for the VEP system but now that Malaysia has announced that the system is on hold, I don't know if I will be able to get my money back.
My queries to the Malaysian authorities are still unanswered.
After going through all the hassle to register my vehicle online to obtain the RFID tag, making an appointment and then the installation, the system does not work. It just does not make sense.
Choa Chu Kang residents will have to wait even longer for their first hawker centre to be built.
It was announced that Choa Chu Kang will get a hawker centre in its town centre but that it will only be constructed after the Jurong Region Line construction works are completed in 2026.
A second hawker centre will be in the planned Yew Tee Integrated Development opening in 2026 (Choa Chu Kang to have two new hawker centres, Sept 23).
The challenges parents face while coaching children to keep up with academic rigour have been in the news recently (Families spent $1.4b on extra tuition for children last year, Sept 7; Some parents take issue with PSLE 2019 maths paper and call it 'exceptionally difficult'; ST Online, Oct 1).
I recognise that every parent has his children's best interests at heart, and wants to provide them with the best resources to get a head start in life.
At the same time, it is key that in the pursuit to help children thrive academically, parents also invest in building up their social and emotional competencies. This is best developed when they take time to foster greater parent-child connectedness through intentional communication and meaningful interaction with children.
When parents cultivate a warm, supportive and loving relationship with their children, the child is at lower risk of social and emotional problems and negative risk-taking behaviours later in life. He is also more likely to have positive and healthy relationships in both childhood and adulthood. 안전놀이터
As part of Focus on the Family Singapore's annual Children's Day campaign Race to Praise this year, it conducted an online survey with more than 600 parents, asking them to share their parenting styles, challenges and interactions with their children.
Focus on the Family observed that one in five parents experienced high levels of connectedness with their children. These parents spend one-on-one time with their children, say "I love you" and play with their children regularly. Most distinctively, they are also clued in to their child's thoughts and feelings.
Among parents whose children discussed their feelings openly with them, more than half of them felt that their children were also willing to tackle a challenge again after failure.
These findings suggests that children need their parents to tune in emotionally and not just physically. Parents' emotional connection with their children sets the foundation for the development of their emotional resilience, empathy for others, and other abilities, such as problem-solving and relationship-building skills.
Parents cannot shield their children from every test, obstacle and challenge, but they can cultivate in them the right tools of resilience and confidence to tackle life's problems.
