Cute kids, I wonder what kind of social pressures they face in government schools.

A good message that directly addresses the concerns of the majority in Singapore which is under a neo-con, neo-liberal regime only interested in looking after the super rich, their cronies, money launderers, economic criminals, etc, etc.

A good and clear concise message. I particularly liked the final part with your whole family. Let's work towards a better Singapore for Singaporeans.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe I heard some statistics about one suicide per day in Singapore. How true is that ?

Well done, Dr. Chee. A thoughtful, clear, precise message delivered with sincerity. It was a pleasant contrast to the old man's haughty, over-enunciated Mandarin tones spreading his usual F.U.D.

What a lovely family you have. If I had two votes to offer, you would have them both.

May I wish you and yours a very Happy Chinese New Year.

Can SDP provide an English and Chinese transcript of this message online please?

Also forward this to TOC and TR and they should be able to help you reach a wider range of audience as well.

Hi April Fool,

You can find the info from World Health Organisation. The information is true at 2006.

April Fool, according to the ST report below, the total number of suicides last year was 364. That's about one per day.
