Summary:More than 250,000 gaming enthusiasts thronged one of the biggest gaming and electronics fairs, Licence2play, which was held over three days . After several days of gaming and cyber-wellness talks, fans of the popular role-playing game MapleStory got to attend the official launch of its second episode at Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre. They also picked up goodies such as in-game vouchers which they can use to buy decorative items in the game.

Opinions:Although gaming is fun and exciting, it is also harmful. It spoils the eyes and also make people addict to it and become more interested in gaming than studies, and so, their results will worsen. I also heard that gaming too much can cause skin cancer, so, it's better to game as less as possible.

Summary:The Ministry Of Education (MOE) will pump in $67.5 million to help students and their families cope with the recession, the second time this year the Government has dished out help for families with school -going children. A big chunk of the funds will go towards topping up the Edusave accounts of all Primary and Secondary students by $80 each, Education Minister Ng Eng Hen said at a visit to the Nanyang Division in Hong Kong GRC. MOE will also increase the Edusave grants by $20 per student.
Opinion:I think what they will be doing is right. They can help poor families and also help some people pay for enrichment programmes. The remaining sum in the account after the student completes Secondary school can also be used to pay for further studies in approved institutions.the increase of Edusave grants can help schools organise enrichment programmes and pay for resources and equipment like computers.
