SingTel debuts the 3G iPhone in Singapore
10-Jun-08, 09:23
SINGAPORE - SingTel will become the first telco firm in Singapore to offer the newly launched 3G version of the iPhone.
First previewed by Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developer Conference on June 9th, the mobile device features improved 3G networking speeds and built-in GPS functions at a cut-down price of US$199.
Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, said: “We are excited to be working with SingTel to bring iPhone 3G to millions of mobile customers in Singapore. We can’t wait to get this revolutionary mobile device in the hands of even more people around the world.”
Quek Peck Leng, SingTel’s executive VP of consumer, added: “We are pleased that Apple has selected SingTel to be the first mobile operator in Singapore to launch its new iPhone 3G.”
“Customers can enjoy internet access on the move, supported by SingTel’s 3G network coverage and new range of services which we will be launching over the next 12 months.”
The Singaporean telco will reveal full pricing and availability of the Macintosh product later this year while a microsite has been developed for local consumers to pre-order for the highly-anticipated device.

CRIME ALERT: THEFT OF PETROL FROM MOTORCYCLES
Lately, there has been an increase in the number of petrol thefts from motorcycles parked at car parks. In these cases, the culprit(s) would tamper with the exposed fuel pipes of a motorcycle before using a manual pump to siphon the petrol into a container.
2. These thefts had predominantly occurred at the northern and western parts of the island, including Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Woodlands, Redhill and Telok Blangah estates, and would usually be perpetuated during the night when human traffic is low.
3. While the police have increased patrols at these locations, we strongly advise vehicle owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures to avoid being the next victim:
a) Park your vehicle in a well-lit area;
b) Secure your motorcycle with a canvas and secure it with a lock;
c) Install an anti-theft alarm and ensure that it is always in good working order;
4. If you have any information pertaining to the above cases, or wish to report any suspicious persons loitering at the vicinity of the car parks, especially when they are carrying items such as manual pumps and containers, please inform the Police immediately at “999”.
5. Thank you and regards.
The above information has been reproduced with the permission of Singapore Police Force (SPF). Any feedback should be made directly to SPF at www.spf.gov.sg/feedback.htm. If you wish to report a crime, call “999” or go to any Neighbourhood Police Centre/Post or www.spf.gov.sg/epc. Nothing hereby signifies any endorsement of this forum by SPF.

I recently talked about YouPorn being the #21 most popular site in Singapore, which resulted 5 days later in the MDA swiftly blocking access to several pornography sites referenced in Alexa’s list of top 100 most popular sites in Singapore. I think the government might be facing an identity crisis over how to handle pornography – which brings me to the question – is legalising porn the next logical step for Singapore?
To the government, there is very little reason not to legalise porn. Prostitution is already legal in Singapore, and we are building several massive casinos, both of which are, in my opinion, far worse vices than pornography. We also train our children as young as 16 to kill people (in defence of our country). Pornography is already legal in many developed 1st world countries like the US, UK, Australia, Japan - with its traditional and conservative society - and even deeply religious countries like Israel! There is very little we can do to enforce or control pornography on the internet. Legalising pornography would be in line with the government’s policy of encouraging breeding amongst our population. We can become the “porn hub” of S.E.A, and of course, “Singaporn” would be a great brand name!
On the other hand, there are many downsides. Pornography might erode our society’s moral values, corrupt our young, encourage deviant and unacceptable sexual behaviour, increase sex crimes, lead to more unwanted pregnancies, single parents, broken families, STDs, unsafe sex, premarital sex, and so on. However, sometimes it is just easier to push the blame onto something else other than poor parenting and supervision, and lack of education.
Would you support or oppose the legalisation of porn in Singapore? If the government were to propose to legalise porn, how would you respond?

My guess about the qualification is that they are looking for a certain gender / age profile, and also once they fill their quota for a certain gender/age combination they will stop taking surveys for that.
But thanks for trying! There will definitely be other surveys with different profiles needed

I do not think YouPorn needs any help from me to promote them.
But I do feel it is important that parents and the general population are educated to the existence of such sites and their popularity in our country.

YouPorn.com, an XXX version of YouTube, is the #21 most popular site in Singapore according to alexa:
http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?cc=SG&ts_mode=country&lang=noneThis is no mean feat as sggirls.com is only #66 (as of 10 May '08), and sgforums.com is a far away #137! We get about 30K visitors a day at sggirls, and half that on sgforums, so I'm guessing at least 100K Singaporeans a day visit YouPorn for their daily dose of adult entertainment.
YouPorn is more popular than flickr (#28), multiply (#24), xanga (#34), myspace (#35), and singnet (#37)!
How tolerant should our society be of pornography and pornography online? Parents, what measures, if any, do you have in place to protect your kids from visiting such sites, or worse - posting their own home made videos online? How big a role should the government play in this?Edited by Jason 10 May `08, 3:09AM
