I checked out the article on Tết in Vietnam and found some incorrect information. Firstly, “banh tet” can be commonly found in the south, whereas “banh chung” and “banh day” originated from the north and made their way down to the south when the country expanded over the centuries. About the legend and symbolic meaning of banh chung and banh da`y (correct spelling), you can check out this article from an online portal of a credible newspaper in Vietnam: http://www.thanhniennews.com/travellermate/culture2.html |

Re the article "A Cry for Decency" on 26 Jan 2007, a very important yet seldom mentioned topic was discussed which I feel warrants closer inspection as well as greater awareness. The Death Penalty. There is no escaping the debate on the value of life and the issue of human rights as well as the flaws that may exist in the Singapore legal system. All these are parts of the arguments pro and against the death penalty and have to be examined as a whole and should not be dissected into individual sections for pro-life proponents. |

I refer to Joshua Sim's forum letter "Posters exploit stereotypes" (Campus Observer, Oct 29, 2006). Thank you for expressing your opinions on our posters. We sincerely value your feedback. Please allow me to explain the rationale for our posters. Firstly, this print campaign was initiated by my team cre-AIDS-ive in support of the StompAIDS Challenge 2006, which is organised by the Health Promotion Board. The aim of the competition is to promote awareness of the AIDS topic among tertiary students and the increased risk of HIV infection with high-risk sexual behaviour. |
