Dear Mr Ng

PROPOSAL ON DEVELOPING PULAU UBIN

I, President of the Green Plan 2012 Club, is sending a proposal to you regarding the development of Pulau Ubin. I have some suggestion from the residents.

First, from the headman of the island, Mr Mohamad Ismail Bin Adam aged 74 , said that a new clinic and a school for the locals is needed there since his grandchildren have to take a bumboat to the mainland to the clinic and school there. Therefore, he thinks that it is inconvenience without a clinic and a school.
Madam Chan Ah Mui, aged 45, former owner of a kiosk for bicycle rental, requested for good bus service, roads and infrastructure, as well as cycling tracks for people to travel easily.
Mr Chandran Mohan, aged 20, polytechnic student, who enjoy relaxing life wished to transform Ubin into a 21st century New Town and enjoying the best of both worlds. Besides, he suggested having some shopping facilities and nature at their doorstep. It is a relaxed way of life.
Mrs Tan Li Lin, aged 32, housewife and part time hawker assistant, wished to have reliable water supply as she hopes to start a coffee stall. And she thinks that water is an important supply due to a lot of campers and trippers.
Lastly, Melvin Koh, aged 16, an 'O' level student, thinks that this may destroy the natural beauty of the island and preserve Chek Jawa, the pride of Pulau Ubin, as a nature reserve.

I hope that you will consider those opinion stated above and try to satisfy the needs of the residents and hopefully you will reply me soon. Thank you.

Your faithfully

On Sunday a massive storm system including several destructive tornadoes passed through Minnesota and Iowa. A tornado in the St. Paul suburb of Hugo, MN, killed a two-year-old boy and left more than 40 homes in ruins. A tornado that passed through Parkersburg, IA, caused even more damage, killing four in Parkersburg and two in neighboring New Hartford. More than 222 homes were destroyed in the storm, heavily affecting the town of only 1,900 residents. The Parkersburg twister was reported to be nearly a mile-wide, and traveled for 43 miles before dissolving. Wind speeds reached 165 mph.

50% of Parkersburg is destroyed or heavily damaged. The city hall, high school, and only gas station and grocery store were destroyed. Iowa governor Chet Culver declared the affected counties disaster areas, and asked for federal assistance.

This storm and accompanying tornadoes followed storms in Oklahoma and Kansas on Saturday which killed at least two, and a stormy year overall. Read through the rest of the Daily Perspective to learn about how you can help the people of Hugo and Parkersburg, as well as reading about the hyperactive 2008 tornado season and some devastating tornadoes in the past.

After reading the article, i feel that Mas Selamat or other terrorist are wise, just that they use their knowledge in wrong field causing unpleasant feeling for the innocent citizens. They wanted to hijack the plane and crash on Changi Airport which is one of the world busiest airport. If the plan really succeed, i think it'll be a great blow to Singapore because tourism is one of the larger income, the citizens will be in fear and everything will goes wrong! The security must be tight so that Mas Selamat will not be able to escape from the prison again or it'll be the worst nightmare to Singapore if the plan succeed!
