No compromise on education

THREE of the country's top political leaders on Saturday promised that no child will miss out on getting an education just because parents cannot afford to send them to school during this downturn.

Speaking at separate bursary presentation ceremonies, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng focused on the importance of a good education.

Brothers claim body

THE body of Mr Teo Sze Siong, who died in the Santika Club fire, was at the Police General Hospital mortuary for two days when his two elder brothers went to claim it at about 1.40pm on Saturday.

The two men, who refused to talk to the media, were accompanied by Mr Teo's three colleagues and good friends from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).

Rules make such fires here unlikely

THE last three times Mr Bernard Lim visited Santika Club in Bangkok's popular Ekkamai district, he thought it looked like any other club in Singapore.
