~from: The organising committee of  ‘In remembrance of JBJ’~

The late JBJ worked tirelessly and selflessly to represent the people of Singapore, in Parliament and outside it. He had great hopes and aspirations for Singapore and Singaporeans. A humble man, he left behind a lasting legacy – he cared.

Three years have passed since JBJ passed away on 30 September 2008. It is also 30 years since his historic win in the Anson constituency by-election on 31 October 1981, making him the first member of an opposition party in Singapore to enter Parliament.

A group of friends (Friends of JBJ) decided to remember him through an event to celebrate the legend – ‘In remembrance of JBJ’:

Date: Saturday, 22 October 2011
Time: 2.30 pm – 6 pm
Venue: Swatow Restaurant (Fortu’nate @ Blk 181 Toa Payoh Lorong 4, #02-02)
Dress: Code: Smart Casual
Price: $30.00 per person or $300.00 per table of 10
Payment: To be made in cash against delivery of tickets

Friends of JBJ have indicated that any surplus funds from the event will go towards funding the Reform Party’s 5-Year Plan in West Coast GRC, with a part reserved for a new JBJ Foundation.

近日《海峡时报》一篇报导,探讨我国不工作、不就业、不培训的“尼特族”现象,以及长期失业问题。 其中提及一名20几岁的青年,在失去工程师工作后,迟迟未能找到工作,最终他把自己幽闭在家中,终日以电脑游戏为伍,成为茧居族(hikikomori)。 隐蔽人士,俗称茧居族(hikikomori),由日本心理学家齐藤环在1990年代提出,指人处于狭小空间、不出社会、不上学、不上班,自我封闭地生活6个月以上。他们通常带有低自我价值和社会排斥,本国研究院刘光明(译名)表示。 据悉,该名男子三年未曾出门,对社会产生排斥。他甚至还为自己理发来逃避出门剪头发。一开始,他的妻子还支持他,但最终妻子忍受不了选择离婚。 另一方面,其他失业青年在迫不得已的情况下,最终选择成为私召车司机。 上月,交通部长许文远在国会被要求公布,目前现有各个年龄层的德士司机和私召车登记人数细项。 逾四万人持私召车司机执照 许文远回应,截至今年2月,有4万1000人持有私召车司机职业执照(Private Hire Car Driver Vocational…
