Vacations

Do vacations make you happier. Read this interesting report. I agree with the findings. It is better to have a vacation at home.

Increase in motor insurance premiums

Mr Tan
I've been told by my motor insurer that there was a general increase of motor premiums of about 20% across the industry from last year. This is within your understanding?

REPLY
I believe that this is the situation, but you can call the General Insurance Association of Singapore to find out.

Shared bicycles at University of Indonesia


The University of Indonesia has 14,000 undergraduates.

It provides 500 bicycles for shared use by the students. The students do not need to own their bicycles or to lock the bicycles when not in use. This save parking space.

This photo shows the students riding the shared bicycles along the bicycle path.


The university also operates shuttle buses to transport the students within the campus.
