PRINT EDITION LETTERS Review criteria of HDB design-&-build scheme THE recent sale of City View@Boon Keng has brought property prices to a new level. It seems the prices offered are cheaper than other private properties in the area. However, one question that needs to be asked is whether this is an HDB property or a private one. All reports have labelled it HDB, but are these HDB prices? NEA has hygiene system at public eateries I REFER to the letter, 'Are hygiene standards going down the toilet?' (ST, Dec 24). Alam Shah verdict shows FAS is weak on violence THE manner in which the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has dealt with the Noh Alam Shah-Daniel Bennett incident is disturbing.	Forgive and forget? Good for Raddy I LIKE what I read in Saturday's inspiring report on national football coach Raddy Avramovic's constructive approach to the recent Noh Alam Shah issue ('Alam Shah set for World Cup qualifiers'; ST, Jan 5). Poly stint will help teachers guide students I REFER to the latest moves by the Ministry of Education on the professional development of teachers.

He may lose rebate on scrapped car I RECEIVED a letter from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) advising me of a revision of open market value on my de-registered vehicle scrapped more than four years ago to buy a new car. US more culpable than China in oil price hike I REFER to Mr Paul Krugman's article, 'The bottom line is China' (ST, Jan 5). Mr Krugman lamented that the current crop of United States presidential candidates has put too much focus on Sept 11 and the quagmire in Iraq. That, to him, is a misplaced focus. He argued that more attention in American foreign policy should be given to the rising power and influence of China. Measures to tackle higher mobile use I REFER to the letter, 'Telco couldn't handle holiday mobile surge', by Mr Dennis Ng Kok Kee (ST, Jan 4).

ONLINE LETTERS Don't push young kids into learning; developing self-esteem and confidence more important WHILE reading the report, 'Baby School' (ST, Dec 30), I recalled my childhood days which I value till today. Distribution of collective sale proceeds should be based only on area I SHARE the view of Mr Paul Chan Poh Hoi in the letter, 'Flaws likely if en bloc choice left to owners' (Online Forum, Jan 5). JSAs a key strategic development for elite sport in Singapore; give them a chance to work I REFER to the report, 'Are 11-year-olds ready for training?' (ST, Jan 4), which raised several concerns about promoting specialised sports training at such a young age.	The sporting arena should not be turned into a battlefield where only winning counts I AGREE with the view that sporting arena must not be turned into a battlefield where only winning counts after reading the report, 'Sports should never come to life and death' (The Sunday Times, Jan 6). Changi's T3 an architectural masterpiece and sets new benchmarks of comfort, convenience for commuters AS CHANGI'S T3 opens its gates today to the world, it will undoubtedly set new benchmarks of comfort and convenience for commuters. Impressed with level of service at FP Clinic I WOULD like to compliment Dr Lim Chee Kong, head of Hougang Polyclinic, for his sympathy for walk-in patients at the Family Physician (FP) Clinic on Jan 3. Why have Singaporeans' standards on anti-littering gone down the drain? IT IS is indeed disturbing to see that after so many years of anti-litter campaigns and the prosecution of offenders, littering continues to be an issue in our society (Litter bugs the island, Record number of litterbugs nabbed; ST Dec 31). No cellphone service due to congestion of telephone lines I REFER to the letter, 'Telco couldn't handle holiday mobile surge' by Mr Dennis Ng Kok Kee (ST Forum, Jan 4).
