Dialect in singapore

i do not see any problem in learning dialect, you can just pick it up, where as learning English & Mandarin will put pressure on young people because there are exam to pass. Mandarin is important, but i do not think you need to give up dialect just because you need to learn Mandarin. if you visit the wet market, you can see many older generation , man & woman, speaks Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese and some simple English, Mandarin, Malay etc, many of them cannot read! but no problem in communicating in dialect etc. our Young people should do much better, right?

you can also exit Linpus linux lite & get into Window XP.

18 years old trade shares , singapore

I do not understand why they are promoting that 18 years old can now trade in share. Most 18 years old will be doing national service or still studying. Have we set our priority right ?
After finishing study, most likely you still do not have a cents in pocket, maybe you already in debt , as you have to start paying back your parent or the banks for the study loans. where do you get the money to play shares?, after working few years to clear you study loans, you need to save up some cash for the rainny days, then you think of getting some insurance ,think of getting married, think of getting your HBD flats, think of bring up you child. if you can managed all this and still have cash to spare, go investing on what ever you like, but I am sure you will be
18 ++++++. Not 18
