| Motorists involved in traffic accidents may soon have to take their vehicles to an independent centre to be assessed for repair costs before they can send them to a workshop. To stop unscrupulous workshops from inflating claims, the insurance industry wants an independent body to check and assess the repair cost before a vehicle goes to the workshop. (1) | ||

Eighteen hawkers and 12 restaurants have been selected to bring open-air dining back to Chinatown, after an absence of 20 years. Food Street, a project by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), is likely to open in the last quarter of 2001 and is expected to revive the nightlife there. Now undergoing a S$1 million construction, Food Street will have an outdoor eating area for 300 persons when completed. The hawkers and restaurants were picked out of a total of 175 applications, 134 of which were for the hawker kiosks and 41 for restaurant shop spaces. Among those selected are Ming Fa Noodles, and Tai Tong Restaurant. Tai Tong Restaurant was founded in 1928 and was one of the top Chinese restaurants in Singapore in the 1950s and 1960s. It will be known as Da Dong Restaurant.(H3) |

The findings of a survey conducted between February and April 2001 by students of the Singapore Polytechnic's school of business show that 84 per cent of respondents said they read The Straits Times regularly. The New paper came in second with 58 per cent. The Sunday Times clinched third place with 48 per cent. The survey of 800 people aged 15 to 30 who were interviewed in the streets aimed to find out where young people get their news and what they think of the news sources. Two in five surveyed were students. Almost half said they preferred the print media, with 37 per cent choosing television, 8 per cent citing radio and 7 per cent preferring the Internet. (H4) |
