News and Opinions...

1.The number of litterbugs caught has rise since the last two years.Over the 1050 offenders, 60 percent of the offenders are young people ages of 20 to 30 years old.In 2006, only 122 offenders were issued with the CWOs.S$37Million of taxpayers' money is spent each year for cleaning services on the streets.

Opinions:
I think they should not litter as it will make the environment very dirty, and the government will have to waste millions of money to hire cleaners to clean up the roads and streets, therefore if the government needs more money to hire cleaners, renter fees for the shop will increase, the owner of the shop will increase the prices of the things they sell, it will affect all of us. We should always keep the environment clean and green.

2.The wife of Singapore National Kidney Foundation chairman,Richard Yong was sentenced
in court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to money washing in Hong Kong.66, Madam On's
case has been postponed to Friday as the Judge needs more time to look through the documents. Madam On had pleaded guilty for helping his husband transferring US S$2.6Million from their joint account.Madam On faces a maximum jail term of 10 years
and a fine.

Opinions:
I think we should earn money honestly not to wash money and not cheat people's hard earned money.I think that Madam On should have a longer jail term and have a heavy
fine for she had done something dishonest; laundering money of National Kidney Foundation.If I were one of the people who donated money to the NKF, I would not donate
to them anymore money.
