Windows Phone 7 applications

Update: an article on these applications appeared in Shin Ming papers

I have created new videos of these 4 applications that are now available on Windows Marketplace (to run on the Windows Phone 7). They will be made available on iPhone in a few weeks time:

Telephone sales of general insurance

Hi Mr Tan, 
What is your view on the practice of insurance company/bank selling general insurance via the phone ? How can consumer decide if an insurance plan is suitable for him/her in that 5 min phone call?

Personally I feel that it might not be fair to push up General insurance via phone, they should be more transparent and provide email information on the plan. Most of the time they would say this plan is an exclusive plan to you and there is no write up on it. I think it would be more fair to consumer to get more information before deciding on the plan, than to accept and exercise the free-look. 

REPLY
I agree with your views that an insurance policy should not be sold over the telehpone in 5 mins without providing sufficient information to the customer.

Creative Wedding Invitations | Discount Wedding Invitations

Wedding Announcements

So, no matter which style of wedding announcements you decide to go with, a formal, traditional or more contemporary or informal type of ceremony, you’ll find many clever ways to still make them all your own. One immediate advantage is you’ll be in a position to make everything match. You can have your wedding invitations, reception announcements, bridal shower invitations, wedding programs, down to the ‘Thank You’ cards, all done in the same theme.
Check out free wedding stuff too.

One distinctive touch, as a possibility, might be to choose something besides traditional wedding paper. You are certainly not restricted to the old, cream-colored card stock and some blocky font. There are now any number of paper textures, cut in almost any shape, hundreds of fonts, even calligraphy outlines and courses, basically at your fingertips online, or possibly through your local printers, to make them uniquely yours.

Personal financial plan

You can generate a personal financial plan based on your own financial situation. This statement shows how you can invest your savings to earn a higher yield and get a higher payout on your retirement (which can be 50% more than the payout provided by the usual life insurance policies. This guidance is most important for young people who have just started work, but is also suitable for older people who have to invest their savings for retirement.

Civil servants and voting

Dear Sir,
I totally agree with the views in your blog entry, Damaged caused by the GRC system.

In my many years of staying in a GRC ward, the MP has done nothing much except for building some shelters here and there, appearing in tree planting events or social events to look good. I've never seen him made any house visits.


This coming election, I'd like to either vote for the opposition or cast an invalid vote. But the problem is I'm a civil servant. Not that I support the govt or PAP, but I think of civil service as a "stable" job and a way to "get back" money and benefits from the govt.


Will there be any implications for a civil servant to vote against the PAP? I've heard stories that they will be able to find out and then either put you in cold storage or assign rubbish jobs to you? Are they true?

It is the right of any citizen to vote for any suitable person. There is no requirement to vote for the current ruling party. Anyway, your vote is secret.
