SINGAPORE : Questions over the rights to air the English Premier League (EPL) as well as other sports channels will be raised when Parliament sits on Monday.
<THis is a national issue? Foot ball in parliment?>

At least three MPs will ask the Acting Information, Communications and the Arts Minister about the recent successful bid by SingTel over the EPL rights.

MP for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Zainudin Nordin, for instance, wants to know if consumers will benefit from the competition between the operators.

Other questions tabled include concerns over the prices of HDB flats, the revenue generated from the Formula 1 night race, as well as the recent controversy over the Ms Singapore World pageant.
< Why not debate about FTs coming to take over singkees and the state of economy?>

MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC Baey Yam Keng has asked the Trade and Industry Minister if there is a need for greater supervision by local organisers to ensure that Singapore's brand name will be protected.

Parliament is also expected to introduce the Singapore Armed Forces Amendment Bill and the Medical Registration Amendment Bill.

The changes to the Medical Registration Act seek to improve and streamline the Singapore Medical Council's existing disciplinary processes.

Parliament will sit at 1.30pm on Monday. - CNA /ls

[ahleebabasingaporethief]

This is a fucking joke. Go to Parliment to debate nonsense?:oIo:

They will sure say import some Venzuelan females, give then citizenship to represent S'pore.

Next they say only GLC linked companies can organize such events. Cheo seng li again.

As for football. CUT THE FUCKING WAYANG. Give S'poreans free BPL football lah. Left hand to right hand still want to debate what? Put on a show for foreigners isist?

Why not debate the right balance of foreigners in the economy? Have we reached the point of too fast too many foreigners competing for jobs here? How about the those who are unemployed and whether skills upgrading is effective in finding employment for those jobless poor souls?

Wow, glad to know that our tax dollars are being put into good use.


I don't even watch EPL!

Even the stupidest of S'poreans can see through this wayang will not be pleased with this Wayang debate on football.

Trying to appease which community ah?

Exactly! During the debate will the mini-sters yell 'GOAL!!!' if they drive a point home?

 

[Goh Meng Seng]

This is really unbelievable!

This is really unbelievable!

Goh Meng Seng

regretted you never work harder in the last election?

 

[Ramseth]

This is really unbelievable!

Nothing unbelievable, in fact it's expected. Football affects the revenues of StarHub, SingTel, Singapore Pools, thousands of pubs and coffeeshops. It could be a national disaster if not managed properly.
