Who needs to sing live? Britney Spears’ lip-synced concert brings down the house BRITNEY Spears brought her Femme Fatale tour to Los Angeles’ Staples Center a Monday, where the packed crowd heard a plethora of hits from the singer’s decade-plus career. Most of the show, as expected, seemed to be lip-synced. Occasionally, especially in the early portion of the night, what sounded like live ad-libs from Spears could be heard. Spears opened the evening with her Hot 100 No 1 single All told, Spears blazed through a 22-song set (four of those were blended into two separate medleys) that was contained within distinct A highlight was the bright and colourful segment that kicked off with the new Spears seemed especially engaged with the audience and her dancers, smiling and playful while prancing about the stage. Her giddiness was amplified for Throughout the evening, the diva was aided by an armada of impossibly athletic and acrobatic dancers. During Fans went nuts after Spears recreated much of her original choreography for a sensual Hold It Against Me, and then surprisingly segued into the new Femme Fatale US bonus track Up n’ Down.Femme Fatale-inspired acts.Femme album track Big Fat Bass.How I Roll, when she was rolled out into the centre of the audience on a tricked-out, Mini Cooper-like car.He About To Lose Me, Spears was surrounded by four especially daring male dancers who did their best death-defying Olympian gymnast poses from atop cage-like contraptions high in the air. Their handstands and Cirque du Soleil-esque contortions drew gasps from the crowd.I’m A Slave 4 U, which was followed by a cover of Madonna’s classic 1983 single Burning Up. The crowd also reacted positively to Boys, but for possibly a different reason: If you stitched together the fabric that Spears and her dancers were wearing for the slinky number, it might have made a scarf.Boys Some aspects of the show were reminiscent of previous tours by Madonna and Kylie Minogue. Spears’ Japanese anime-esque rendition of Additionally, Spears’ was followed by the ballad Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know, which may have been the one song of the night that Spears sang completely live.Toxic, complete with battling dancers, brought to mind Madonna’s Sky Fits Heaven performance from 2001’s Drowned World Tour.(Drop Dead) Beautiful came with pulse-racing projection |

Monster invasion Letter from Sandra Jayandran I LEARNT with great interest that a threestorey “monster” home being built in the Simei area is upsetting the neighbours. Most are unhappy that the house, which occupies almost all the land it sits on, will ruin the aesthetics of their estate. Some residents have complained that it blocks their view of the sky, apart from dwarfing the houses around it. While some netizens seem to think the neighbours are jealous of the owner being able to afford the S$2-million renovation, I agree with those who are unhappy with the “hulking monster” as I have seen many such instances in other housing estates like Serangoon Gardens and Seletar Hills, where the houses were predominantly single-storey terrace and semi-detached houses. Nowadays, if you drive through these estates, what will greet you are huge and, dare I say, ugly houses lining the small and narrow streets. Where is the charm and ambience of the old houses built in the ’50s and ’60s? They are all being replaced with soulless three-storey houses often with no garden, completely tiled up and all competing to be the tallest house on the street. I am no architect but such houses seem totally disproportionate to the land they sit on and the surrounding area. Secondly, the space designated to such landed properties was obviously intended for single-storey houses with a garden. How can the authorities approve renovation work where the houses come almost to the front of the gate and are built to within an inch of the neighbour’s house? I know we are a land-scarce nation but the designs of some of these newer houses make me shudder. Perhaps it is time we re-look the building and renovation guidelines, and restrict the height and size of these houses. |

Why no Wi-Fi on public transport ?
In an era where monumental focus is placed on connectivity, our trains place pretty far down the rungs of technological innovation. Trains, stations and buses have yet to offer wireless Internet access for commuters. The average Singaporean spends about 2.5 hours commuting via public transport every day. These hours could either be squandered away or enriched with live feeds of news and information. Providing Wi-Fi on public transport would cater to those unable to afford mobile data plans. San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) has plans to establish Wi-Fi services throughout its 167.4km of track and 43 BART stations by the end of this year. The London Underground is seeking to have Wi-Fi installed at 120 stations by next year’s Olympics. Korea’s telecom giant KT Corp has provided Wi-Fi services in Seoul subway trains since last November to meet the demands of data-hungry smartphone users. By ensuring that Singaporeans have more opportunities to access the Internet, we enrich our society with citizens who possess accurate and current information. Letter from Cordelia Foo |

Former DPM Tony Tan picks up formsFormer Deputy Prime Minister Tony Tan has picked up forms for the Certificate of Eligibility required to contest the upcoming Presidential Election. Dr Tan who's 71 arrived at the Elections Department at 10.30 this morning. He told reporters that if he's granted the certificate of eligibility, he will contest the Presidential Election as an independent candidate. Dr Tan is currently the Chairman of Singapore Press Holdings as well as deputy chairman and executive director of GIC - the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. A former mathematics and physics lecturer at the University of Singapore, Dr Tan entered politics in 1979 at the age of 38. He left the Cabinet between 1991 and 1995, became chairman and CEO of OCBC Bank, before returning to the Cabinet to beef up its ranks in August 1995. Dr Tan retired from politics after 26 years, having helmed the ministries of finance, education, defence, health, and trade and industry at different points in his career. Earlier this month, Dr Tan said that the next elected President of Singapore will hold office during a period of enormous change. He was responding to media queries as to whether he would be making a bid for the position in the coming election. While neither confirming nor denying a bid at that time, Dr Tan said that it is more important than ever to have a President with a steady hand and a deep understanding of the complexities behind each decision he may have to make. |

Who could fill Tony Tan’s shoes at GIC?
Dr Tony Tan (TODAY) SINGAPORE: Dr Tony Tan’s possible candidacy in the coming Presidential Election could leave the door wide open for a new executive director at the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC). Dr Tan is understood to be collecting application forms for an eligibility certificate on Thursday to contest the presidency. He will have to resign from the GIC if he is elected. No names were readily offered as a possible replacement for Dr Tan at GIC by most of the GIC watchers whom TODAY spoke to. However, they noted that the person should possess a long—term view managing Singapore’s reserves, have experience managing sizeable financial assets and be well—versed with the financial and banking industry. NRA Capital executive chairman Kevin Scully, who named Temasek Holdings Chairman S. Dhanabalan — a former Cabinet Minister — as a possible replacement, said: " It has to be someone of Ministerial rank, who’s got a macro view, with a finance background and who will match the long—term liabilities of the Government and the expected returns (on investments)." Mr Scully added: " For GIC and Temasek, there is a certain nationalistic view that it must be run by a Singaporean because it is not for short—term gains but for long—term returns." Other watchers did not have any names in mind. CIMB regional economist Song Seng Wun felt any successor could come from within the GIC. " This will give the Government the most comfort zone, given that it is such an important role for the institution," he said. In 2005, Dr Tan was appointed to the then newly—created post of executive director when he retired from politics. Mr Lim Siong Guan, who was formerly head of the Civil Service, is currently the No 2 man at GIC. Earlier this month, GIC announced the most wide—ranging changes to its senior leadership since 2007, which will take effect next Friday. The changes include the stepping down of the Presidents of GIC Asset Management, GIC Special Investments and GIC Real Estate. Mr Quah Wee Ghee, Dr Teh Kok Peng and Dr Seek Ngee Huat will be appointed as chairmen of business groups focusing on the emerging markets. The GIC board of directors is headed by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The board consist of four other Cabinet Ministers — including Deputy Prime Ministers Teo Chee Hean and Tharman Shanmugaratnam — and former Cabinet Ministers Richard Hu and Raymond Lim. With GIC’s " sizeable war chest" and " high profile" , Mr David Cohen, Director of Asian Economic Forecasting at Action Economics, felt that GIC would not have difficulty in attracting interest in the role. The possible candidate should be " someone with familiarity" with Asia given the region’s growth, he added. While interest may be high, Mr Song felt that the pool of candidates may be " limited" . Pointing to Dr Tan’s banking experience — he was chairman of OCBC Bank from 1992 to 1995 — Mr Song said:" It can’t be just a person who has superficial knowledge of the global banking system. It (the search) is not going to be easy, but at the end of the day, it is going to be a person who has the full confidence of the Government." — TODAY |

Buy local produce: AVA ALVINA SOH
SINGAPORE Chief executive officer Tan Poh Hong said support from consumers for local produce, such as eggs, will help spur local farms to increase their production to meet bigger demand and, in turn, ensure the sustainability of local farms. Consumers can be assured of the quality of local produce, thanks to the stringent production and quality control procedures local farms adhere to as well as the short delivery time from farm to retail outlets, said AVA. In particular, the quality of eggs produced by local chicken layer farms is assured under AVA’s Singapore Quality Egg Scheme (SQES). Introduced in 1990, the voluntary quality assurance scheme requires local poultry layer farms to ensure that their facilities are hygienic and that quality control monitoring systems are well maintained at all times. The eggs produced undergo monthly inspection and freshness tests by AVA to verify their quality. The date of production and farm code are also stamped on every egg to ensure traceability. All three local chicken layer farms are currently registered under this scheme. Local production is an important secondary strategy in ensuring food supply resilience for Singapore, and the Government is aiming to raise self-sufficiency levels for eggs, fish and leafy vegetables to 30 per cent, 15 per cent and 10 per cent respectively. Current self-sufficiency levels stand at 23 per cent for eggs, 4 per cent for fish and 7 per cent for vegetables. “While we have been looking at the supply side helping farmers to increase their productivity through technology and extension services, we feel that it is also important to get our consumers to support the local produce as well, said Ms Tan. Consumers can look out for the SQES logo — which has been revised — when choosing eggs. ConsUmers Urge aUthOrIty to prOmOte Quality Eggs at Competitive Price. GUARANTEE is needed by cOnsUmers but not traceability which is UsefUl Only for the aUthOrIty. — The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) has urged consumers to complement the Government’s efforts and support the local farming industry by buying local produce, as Singapore looks to boost its self-sufficiency levels for certain produce. |
