Singapore's unemployment rate was brought to a 14-year low with the creation of 121,300 jobs in 2011. However, layoffs also increased substantially in the last three months of 2011, according to preliminary estimates from the Manpower Ministry.
The total number of fatal and injury accidents has decreased about 8.1 per cent last year, hitting a record five-year-low of 7,925 cases. The difference between this and the year before is about 1,000 cases, with 8,625 cases taking place in 2010.
National golfer Koh Sock Hwee has earned herself a spot at the HSBC Women's Champions event.
A Peruvian national came to Singapore thrice last year to steal and cheat with stolen credit cards. On Tuesday, Maria Elena Tello Espinoza was sentenced to jail for 15 months.
An assistant sales manager at an employment agency lied on a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) declaration form, stating that four foreign workers would earn between $1,800 and $2,500 monthly in order for them to obtain various work passes.
If you hit someone in a rage on the road, expect to spend some time in prison, appeal judge V. K. Rajah said on Tuesday as he sentenced road rage offender Mervin Ng Kim Inn, 28, to five weeks in jail.
