1. "President Halimah Yacob to move out of Yishun HDB flat: MHA
SINGAPORE: President Halimah Yacob will be moving out from her home at Yishun Avenue 4, according to a press release by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday (Oct 2).
MHA said it has conducted a careful assessment of the security arrangements for the President, and has informed her that security agencies "face several challenges in ensuring her security and protection" if she continues to stay in her current home.
The ministry has "strongly advised" the President to consider moving to another place, as this will enable the agencies to ensure her safety and security with greater assurance.
"President has accepted MHA’s security recommendation. She will make arrangements to move to a new place soon," the press release said.
MHA declined to provide further details.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Mdm Halimah thanked everyone for their concern with regard to her residential arrangements, and said the decision to move out of Yishun was done "upon further discussions with the Government"."
Honestly, what is the worst case if someone wanted to "harm" the EP? Will Sgp stop functioning vs. if harms were done to the PM n the cabinet?
Anyway, given that she has been living there for ages, none of her neighbours will want to harm her for sure.
The security team just need to look for "new visitors".
If the EP is adamant that she needs no protection, would MHA agree?
I was so excited abt the 1st female HDB-ed EP n the joy was so short lived. An utter disappointment really.
Anyway, another episode of wayang as the detractors would proclaim. Or another failed attempt to placard the many displeased "robbed of voting" voters?
Siah...
2. "IS claimed Las Vegas shooting where more 50 were killed n 400+ hospitalised when a 63-64 yrs old shooter fired at 20k+ country music concert goers n then killed himself!"
IS will claim any senseless killing of innocent people if this claim is true. Though I seriously doubt it.
Trump supposedly tweeted his "warmest condolences", another stupid act by the elected President of USA?!
Anyway, this killing will get some media time for the next few hours or maybe next few days n everything will be back to "biz as usual" for gun owning folks. This is how the democracy of the USA works! Unless the person has a family member or loved one killed as "collateral damages", the others won't hv time to care!! Some will say: this will not happen to me. While some will just say: I will shoot back n defend myself with my own guns!! Ya! Shoot back at a guy who fired fr a room 32 floors fr the ground n hundred metres away!!
This is another debate for the Americans to work through.
RIP to the deads n condolences to the family n friends of all affected.
