Shots Fired at
Secondary School |
|
We refer to the
article ※Shots fired at secondary school§,
published in Today on 30 June 2005. |
|
In paragraph two
of the article, it was stated that ※＃unknown
to most of [the students], their school has
been the target of an unidentified sniper§.
The article also stated that shots have been
fired at the school since April, that bullet
holes mark some of the walls, and that ※air
gun pellets may have been discovered during
a police investigation.§ |
|
We would like to
clarify that to-date, there is insufficient
evidence to suggest the presence of a
sniper. Police are still establishing the
cause of the damage to the windowpanes. We
have also conducted checks in the school.
Although there were small holes on the
damaged windowpanes, there were no bullet
holes or other markings on the walls.
Neither were there any air gun pellets nor
projectiles discovered. |
|
Members of the public are advised that there
is no cause for alarm. Further speculation
on the incident should also be avoided. |

"I
studied the HES
(Key Findings of Household Expenditure Survey 2002/03)
closely,
because our aim is to take care of every Singaporean, and
not just those at the top. I focussed particularly on the
lowest income group 每 those in the bottom 20% in terms of
per-capita household income. |
"Their
incomes have hardly risen over the last five years. But I
was relieved to find that in terms of home ownership and of
their possessions, many in this group are not that badly
off.
|
|
"Four
out of five of these households own their homes. More than
half (51%) actually stay in 4-room or larger HDB flats. A
large proportion of these households also own consumer
durables. Despite their low incomes, 61% have audio/video
compact disc players, 42% have air-conditioners, and 63% own
handphones. |
|
"All
these figures have gone up substantially in five years
between 1998 and 2003. This is a remarkable and encouraging
picture....." |
