Apple iPod Nano may pose fire hazard, says Japan
Japan's industry ministry has ordered Apple to report on measures it will take regarding cases of its iPod Nano music player overheating and catching fire, an official said Thursday.
Apple iPod Nano may pose fire hazard, says Japan
Overheating of the 2005 iPod Nano while charging has caused at least 27 incidents, including six fires that required firefighters to be called, an official from the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry said.
"Four people burned themselves after they touched the device, which had overheated during charging," he said.
"The ministry repeatedly asked Apple Japan to take market measures, such as giving warnings or recalling the products, but it has failed to do so," he said, adding the ministry issued the order late on Wednesday.
Apple has sold about 1.6 million units of the first iPod Nano model in Japan.
The ministry also ordered the company to report on incidents not only at home but overseas as well, the spokesman said.
The latest setback for Apple follows the launch of its iPhone 4, which has been dogged by reception problems linked to its new design and manufacturing issues that have led to the delay of the white version.

NEA’s sending out the wrong message
Letter from Yee Ming Fai
I AM disappointed with the move to give free portable ashtrays to stop litterbugs.
Doesn’t this send out the wrong message that smoking is acceptable, as long as the butts are dealt with appropriately?
I hope the National Environment Agency can focus on the health issues of smoking and second-hand smoke instead.

Lower toll charges at Second Link from Sunday
From Sunday, Aug 1, motorists need only pay $3.20 when they drive into or leave Singapore using the Second Link.
This is some 30 per cent lower than the previous toll charge of $4.60. Motorcycles will pay 50 cents.
The Land Transport Authority said the revision follows the joint announcement by the Prime Ministers of Malaysia and Singapore last month to reduce tolls on the Second Link.
Toll charges for the Causeway remain unchanged.

Mr Lee also compared Singapore to JAPAN, which he said is Ahead in Productivity Levels due to the latter’s greater employee- company cooperation and bottom-up rise through the ranks.
QUESTiONS:
1. In 1970s, Singapore COPIED the JAPAN Quality Control Circles [QCC] System.
Where is it now?
Who are the Singapore Productivity GURUS ?
What happened to ALL the PRODUCTIVITY ?
How can there be Productivity Improvement when there is nO Productivity System nOw in SingapOre ? ? ? ?
When is a Singaporean productivity in Singapore ?
Which company has a Productivity System in Singapore ?
Why there are nO Chief Productivity Officer [CPO] in the Boardroom and Ministry of Productivity ?
2. Consequences of JAPAN's Lead in Productivity:
2.1 In Tokyo City TODAY, there are more and more homeless beggars.
2.2 Since 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, Japanese are nO lOnger known as FiVE STARS CLASS. In fact, in Japan TODAY, Japanese are no longer Brand Conscious due to the High Cost of Living which they now find it HARD TO COPE . . . .
2.3 JAPAN is nOt a rOle mOdel for PRODUCTIVITY anymOre . . . .
2.4 JAPAN's QUALITY is also deteriorating . . . .
2.4.1 SONY notebook Quality issues . . . .
2.4.2 JAPANESE cars Quality issues . . . .

Live, learn and venture overseas
Minister Mentor Lee on not retiring, and how
Singaporeans gain new ideas from going abroad
Neo Chai Chin
chaichin@mediacorp.com.sg
SINGAPORE
However, in 15 years or so, the Minister Mentor expects that the Republic will have an intellectual class “maybe three times as big as what we have now”.
The war for talent is turning on two counts here, it seems.
Speaking at a dialogue on the leadership challenge in productivity and sustainable growth, Mr Lee said firstly that Singapore was getting “a lot of talented people” from China, India and Malaysia.
“I’m quite sure that in 15, 20 years, when all these bright kids we’ve attracted from overseas grow up and mature — educated here and maybe educated also overseas — we’re going to have an intellectual class maybe three times as big as what we have now,” he said. These talents will accelerate Singapore’s development.
But a change is also happening among young Singaporeans, he assessed when asked by consultant Philip Merry the same question he asked Mr Lee 15 years ago.
Young Singaporeans now know the value of overseas experience in moving up the corporate ladder and for learning new ways to do things, said Mr Lee, the special guest at the Singapore National Employers Federation’s 30th anniversary CEO and Employers Summit, which ends today.
“I think the young have taken a different approach. They know it adds to their CV for the next promotion, or in a different company, to have experience abroad,” he said. Mr Lee himself gained new ideas from spending time in Britain as a young man in his 20s, and later in the United States.
For instance, he had noticed in Boston that planes took off and landed over water, and hence created “no footprint of sound of the aircraft over the city”. So he opted to reclaim land in Changi for a new airport, where planes would take off over water, instead of building a second runway at Paya Lebar. Mr Lee also compared Singapore to Japan, which he said is ahead in productivity levels due to the latter’s greater employee- company cooperation and bottom-up rise through the ranks.
But the Republic makes up for it “the Singapore way”: Being a safe, clean and liveable city, well-connected to the rest of the world, with an English-speaking environment, and by embracing foreigners.
‘I don’t think there should be a retirement age’: MM
Asked for his views on the ageing workforce’s impact on productivity and growth, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said Singaporeans would be healthier and happier if they worked for as long as they could.
“I don’t think there should be a retirement age,” he said.
Mr Lee said he is still functioning at the rate he was 20 years ago — save for some “aches and pains”, for which he sees a physiotherapist.
He said Singaporeans have to accept the “painful” prospect of being paid less as they work into old age. “You are superior, and suddenly your junior overtakes your position and you have less pay and he’s the boss. So you find the psychological switch unpleasant, but that’s life,” he said.
Neo Chai Chin — Fifteen years ago, when he was asked why Singaporeans were reluctant to venture overseas to learn new skills, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said it was because Singapore was too comfortable.
