I have accepted an invitation to be a Guest Speaker at the Budget forum as follows:


Date: 19 February 2011
Time: 2pm to 5pm
Venue: Azea Personal Coaching,  24 Raffles Place, Clifford Centre #07-04 Singapore 048621

There will be three guest speakers. The purpose of this forum is aimed at giving people a platform where they can listen to the speakers’ views and discuss about the government’s Budget which is released the day before.

The format is such that the speakers will be given about 20 minutes each to speak on their respective topics before the floor is opened to the audience for a Q&A session.

I will be speaking on the following topics

a) Taxation and GST
b) Use of tax revenue for social benefits
c) Keep housing affordable
d) Moderate the cost of living

Look forward to have you join the event. (TOC will be putting up a registeration form soon at www.theonlinecitizen.com).

Google Map - Directions for public transport

I have just moved to my new office in Midview City. My office staff lived in Sengkang, Yishun, Toa Payoh and Bukit Batok. They only know how to get to the office on the MRT. I go to Google Maps and get alternative directions for them on public transport. In all the cases, the best option is to go by bus which takes a shorter time. The buses are less crowded.

You can try Google Maps. But if you want me to help you, just send the postal code of your home and workplace to inbox@tankinlian.com. I will train my staff to send the directions to you on a PDF.
