Ministry of Finance unveils Budget 2013 website

Public views, suggestions are sought.

According to a release, the Budget 2013 website (www.singaporebudget.gov.sg) was launched as part of an exercise aimed at garnering public views and suggestions ahead of Budget 2013.

Through this exercise, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) wishes to reach out to Singaporeans and businesses for their views on issues and suggestions relating to taxes and public spending for Budget 2013.

MOF will also organise the online Budget Quiz which was well-received by the public this year. Through the interactive quiz, MOF hopes to raise awareness of the Budget process and public financing issues, as well as provide interesting nuggets of information on how the Government manages and allocates limited resources.

These are the Budget 2013 OutREACH efforts:

a. Public Consultation
MOF, in partnership with REACH, welcomes views and suggestions on issues that the public feels are relevant for Budget 2013. The channels available include new media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, as well as discussion forums on REACH's Budget website (www.reach.gov.sg/budgetsg), among others.

b. Budget Quiz 2013

Participants will stand to win prizes each week if they answer all the questions correctly. This year, in addition to the 4 weekly quizzes, Budget Quiz 2013 takes on a Final Quiz round which will be launched on 30 January 2013. The Final Quiz will feature a new “Hall of Fame” for high scorers.

More details of the public consultation and the Budget Quiz are available at the Budget 2013 website.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
