Get ready for Army Half Marathon 2009
From Yoke Weng:
The annual half marathon is here this Sunday. I think most are running. Remember it starts at 5.30 am – very early. (and you need to be there around 5 am).
I am not sure if there is an opportunity to meet up before the run as it is very crowded ( and be warned that the toilet queues are also very long before the race!!). As usual, we will mingle around either at the Cenotaph or at the road side before the race. (optional)
After the race, we will gather around the Cenotaph again. As the finish is at the Padang, it is going to be crowded there- so do watch out for one another. If all goes well, I think we can start moving out for breakfast around 9.15 am. Tentatively, we will go to Beach Road hawker center – actually the coffee shop.
See you on Sunday at the AHM .

Singapore disappointed over Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's 3 years' sentence
Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"We are disappointed to learn that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was found guilty and sentenced to three years hard labour. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi did not plan to violate the terms of her house arrest, and the intrusion into her house was by a person who appears to be of unsound mind.
We are however happy that the Myanmar Government has exercised its sovereign prerogative to grant amnesty for half her sentence and that she will be placed under house arrest rather than imprisoned.
We are heartened that Minister of Home Affairs Major General Maung Oo had announced that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will be allowed to see doctors and nurses, communicate with her party, watch local television channels, read local newspapers and journals, and can receive visitors with the government's permission and that there is a possibility that she could receive amnesty for the remainder of her sentence.
These are significant gestures by the Myanmar Government. We hope that the Myanmar Government will allow Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to participate in the political process as soon as possible. A meaningful dialogue between the Myanmar Government, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all other political groups in an open and inclusive process of national reconciliation is the only hope for the long term political stability of the country."
