Question 1What are some of the problems involved in separating a conjoined twin?
There will eventually be problems in seperating a conjoined twin as surgeons may most probably end up harming the patients. And even in some cases, one has to sacrifice his life to save another. Even if both survive, one will be let with brain damages or handicapped. So sometimes there will be no quality of life. It's a 50:50 based survival infact. No one, not even the surgeons or doctors know who will survive.
Question 2
If you were a part of a conjoined twin, would you rather stay together with your twin for the rest of your life or would you risk both your lives to go for an operation? Why?
If i were a a part of conjoined twin, i would definately risk my life to go for an operation to get my twin and myself seperated. Because, as for me, it's better to risk my life to get my twin and me to be seperated rather than to stay with he/she forever. If i were not to risk my life, i should stay with my twin forever and things would get very difficult as day passes on. Things become more complicated as one could not move from the other, learn education as an ordinary person, to move themselves to go for their personal reasons and purposes. It's not a blessing neither a curse by god for people to be born as a conjoined twin; it all just happens. You can't even live your life to the fullest if you cant be "YOURSELF" and another is always with you. So it's better to even be handicapped or left with brain damages after being seperated from your twin.

Question 1What are big companies doing in order to be more socially responsible?
In order to be more socially responsible, the big companies are not cutting down their Corporate Social Responsiblities (otherwise known as CSR). The Communication group in Singtel's CSR is divided into 4 parts which supports initiates focusing in -Youth and Education, Environments which aims to reduce the carbon emissions and cut down the usage for paper, Market Place- which involves the corporate governance, and lastly the Workplace- which provides learning and develpoment opportunities and quality work-life balance for its staff. By all these actions taken, i think that the big companies would not loose much profit. If they maintain throughout to be socially responsible, they will earn.
Question 2
How important it is to be socially responsible? And do you think it is still possible to make a social impact during the recession?
It is vety important to be Socially Responsible as it does not affect one but also affect others. Towards a sunstainable and succesful nation, it's essential to serve people with responsiblity. Only then people will be satisfied. Even during the reccesion, it's still possible to make a social impact . The government should be supervising the corporation and employees to be more responsible.

Question 1What are some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment?
As we all know, Singapore is a protective country and takes actions needed before the situation could get worse. There are some things that schools in Singapore are doing to take care of the environment. Things like Science and Social studies classes are acrried out. Some teachers ask their students to bring electricity bills from their home to teach them to save energy for their month- to -month energy uses. Lakeside Primary School expects at least half of their Primary 4 and 5- (600 in total) students to take part in thses activities and do their little part and save the Earth.~ "P
Question 2
Do you think one person's effort in reducing, reusing and recycling will make a difference in saving the environment? What steps have you taken in the effort to save the earth?
No, only one person's effort dosen't help the environment. Its just like to clap, you need to hands to do so. The same principle applies in this case also. To make a difference, all of us should take part in saving the world and do what they can by reducing, reusing and recylcling. Only then our world have to be saved. The world is a precious treasusre to us. The only thing that no matter what, belongs to us. So it's our duty to do our part. We should make life longer for our Mother Earth. We will be all able to live longer and healthier when the Earth is SaVeD ~

Q 1)How does the treatment programme of the Singapore Prison Service help sex offenders?
The treatment programme of the Singapore Prision prevents repeat crimes by those offenders who are likely to re-offend again. It also helps them to leran about the way they think and how their actions flow from this. This awaress the convicts about the concequences of repeating their crime. I'm sure that this programme would be useful to them and might save their future.
Q 2)
Do you think that sex offenders should be given a second chance in the society? State your reasons.
I think sex offenders should be given a second chance. Because, all humans do incorrect things and then they realise their mistake and reform. Sex offenders are also in that category. I'm referring to people who were so desperate and went in an incorrect path, not people who do all these bad things for fun and purposely. In my opinion, we should never look down on reformed sex offenders. In fact we should talk to them and change them furthermore to a good person. We should not juz spill out words from our mouth and disgrace them. We should be in their shoes and think how one shoukd have felt. The government and the society fails when a sex offender is looked down. The reason is because only the particular society of one(who did the mistake) is being disgraced when he is affected. So we should do our part by helping them to stay away from troubles...That would be much appreciated.. "p
