my first set of news are finally here ^^

1) To mark World AIDS day today, World Vision Singapore is contributing by launching the 'One Life Fund', which will pay for the education of every child aged between 2 & 25 affected or infected by HIV/AIDS as long as they meet they criteria.

Opinions:
I think it is really generous for them to give these HIV infected or affected children a chance to get sufficient education. The criteria in order for these poor children to be able to take part in this fund is both very general and very generous, the way so that it might benefit all HIV/AIDS infected and affected children greatly. The youths who are concerned about their education can now worry no more, whether infected or affected with AIDS, now with this golden oppurtunity. Now, they will be able to avail themselves of this bursary.

2) Bus commuters can now look forward to quicker rides now that the 'Mandatory Give Way to Buses' scheme is implemented. It is so that when buses are leaving the bay, cars will give way, as it has been said that buses take about 5 to 10 seconds in leaving the bus bay. Offenders will be subjected to a $130 fine.

Opinions:
I think that the scheme is very useful and effective as this will be a new traffic rule for those who drive. The launching of this scheme shows that LTA has given great thought for public transport commuters. Buses will now be shown more respect from other cars and if they don't show respect, they will be fined too! This scheme will complement and enhance the effectiveness of bus priority. The commuters will also feel more comfortable with public transport as they have been given such priority. Now I can also enjoy quicker bus rides from one place to the other once his scheme is launched!
