Battle Box Singapore

The Battle Box is a boomb-proof bunker which was built in Singapore during The World War II. The Japanese Imperial Army had invaded the critical East Asian stretigic locations of Britain and they were launching the Battle of Singapore and Malayan campaign at that time. General Percival’s decision of surrender of Commonwealth Forces to Japanese Imperial Army was taken from this bunker. The news what amazed the whole British people about the fate of their soldiers in Singapore came on 15th February 1942 from this bunker. General Percival was criticised for his decision of not showing aggressiveness in reply to Japanese attacks. But at the end of war, in investigations of British surrender, it was found that British Army was less equipped and it was a low funded Army at that time.

The British soldiers were not well trained and they were not well organised with respect to the nature of war what Japanese Imperial Army had imposed on them. All these things prevented Gen. Percival from showing agressiveness to Japanese. Instead, he preffered to save the lives of his soldiers. The bunker was occupied by Japanese during Occupation of Singapore. At the end of war, this bunker was sealed and its actual location was completely forgotten. In 1988, this bunker was rediscovered. The Governent of Singapore converted this bunker into an attraction for tourists. The visitors can visit this location in a guided tour. Tickets what visitors have to get for entering The Battle Box, are just like passes issued for security purposes for entrance into the bunker during Second World War. In first step, visitors get education about history of this site by presentations. Later on they are allowed to walk in this bunker on their own.

General Percival Singapore

He participated in World War I. He had made a very successful career in military between the two World Wars. That is the reason why he had the command of the British Commonwealth forces in Malaya and Singapore. He was the commander of British Commonwealth forces when Japanese invaded Malaya and Singapore. He took the decision of surrender which lasted the British rule in these areas. The decision of surrender what Percival took in front of Imperial Japanese Army permanently destroyed the perception about Britian that it could be a significant dominating power in Far East Asia. He was criticised by the British people for his decision. However, the later investigational reports of the British Army’s surrender to Japanese Imperial Army have revealed that funding of Commonwealth army was not according to needs of the war-theatre’s operational area. The opinions about Percival have become sympathetic for his decision therefore.

Groupon Singapore

Groupon Singapore

Groupon’s entry into Chinese market has created competition in online sector of group buying. The competition trend will be enhanced over time according to expectations. The existing sites of Singapore and Hong Kong have been purchased by this group and CEO of Groupon’s Hong Kong operations, Mr. Dany Yeung, has said that the company wants to dominate Chinese market.  The company is going to increase its staff to 1000 from 120 during the coming months. This will be done to achieve the goals of company what have been set in the shape of targets for this year. Groupon, the US firm, may become an ally of Tencent. Tencent is a Chinese firm, which is owner of many popular properties in China. This will create Gaopeng, which means the gathering of recognized guests.

Groupon Singapore

According to James Roy, who is China Market Research Group’s analyst, the move of Gaopeng may become sensible for start-up of Americans. Foreign companies of Internet cannot neglect China’s potential due to its huge online population. But when those companies come to China, they realize that many local players are with major performance in local markets. The partnership of Groupon with one of China’s major Internet companies will help it in understanding the local market of China. Tencent’s QQ following will help Groupon to increase its business in China. Many companies of US are very ambitious before they start their work in China, but when they face market competition, they become too optimistic that they complain about China’s business environment. In the end, they leave China due to their disappointment. Still these leavers think that they have better understanding of the market trends.

The reminded steps were taken in last days of Januaray and beginning days of February  2011.

MOM Singapore

So clinics had to confirm the furious and nervous employers in the whole of Singapore that the workers of them would not be admitted. Those clinics had to re-send their reports about medical aspects of workers. Lots of time waste happened in efforts related to cover the MOM’s laziness.

After these news were public, no explanation was made on behalf of MOM and neither any investigation has been started to determine the cause of laziness of MOM. However, on behlaf of public interest, it is clear that MOM is accountable for the money what is payed in taxes by public for funding MOM.

Further that, now an apology should be submitted on behalf of MOM. In the letter statement, MOM should take the responsibility of the inconvenience which caused anxiety to employers. Otherwise MOM should inform public for the reason what caused this trouble so that these troubles may not happen again.
