Govern a society
Read this letter.
My view
It is the duty of the Government to govern. They cannot let the problem of society be "left to the market" or to "personal responsibility". This is why laws are passed to prevent vandalism and crime. If marketing flyers are a nuisance, it should be stopped. If gambling on credit is a serious problem, it should also be stopped. It is easy for people to fall into a trap and lose a fortune that will bankrupt their family - all within a day or just a few hours.
For those people who say that people should be personally responsible and that the Government has no role here, just wait for the day when a member of your family comes home, and cries that he or she owes $100,000 or more to the casino. You will then know the real danger of gambling on credit and how easy it is for anyone to fall into the trap.

Law School Requirements | Careers In Law
The law school admission council (LSAC) is the first stepping stone for would be lawyers and law school attendees. The LSAC is the first port of call for the process of applying to attend law school as one of the law school requirements demanded by most law schools is the LSAT score.
LSAT score
The LSAT score is the law school admission test score from the LSAC and combined with their Credential Assembly Service (CAS) helps make the whole admission procedure smoother for applicants. The Credential Assembly Service is a service provided by the LSAC which combines all of your recommendations, evaluations, transcripts and LSAT score into one report that is then sent to the law school that you are applying to.

Short term investment
Hi Mr Tan,
What is the best (low risk) investment instrument to use if I have 100k and I need the money in 6 months time? I do not want to leave it in my savings account as the interest rate is very low. I was introduce into dual currency investment by my bank. What's your take on it?
REPLY
For short term invstment, you have to accept the low interest rate offered by the banks. You can place it on fixed deposit to earn more than saving account. In my case, my short term cash is kept in an auto-save account which earns a low interest rate.
You should avoid all types of dual currency investments. Read the FAQ in my website, www.tankinlian.com. Look for "Ask Mr. Tan" and search for "Dual Currency".
