Public service committed to flexible work arrangements to meet workforce's changing needs: Govt

The Public Service has expressed its commitment to implementing flexible work arrangements (FWAs) for its employees, taking into account the workforce's changing needs. In a written answer to a Parliamentary question posed by Choa Chu Kang GRC MP Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim on Monday (Nov 11), Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing said the Government recognises the growing need for FWAs, given Singapore's demographic changes and its ever-changing demands on Singaporeans. Zhulkarnain had asked whether the Civil Service will continue to support flexible working arrangements despite some companies in the private sector requiring employees to work from the office five days a week. Grab Singapore, for example, said it will enforce its five-day return-to-office mandate starting Dec 2, reported CNA. Referencing the Tripartite Guidelines on FWA Requests (TG-FWAR), which will be enforced starting Dec 1, Chan stressed the importance of such arrangements in supporting working caregivers, encouraging workforce re-entry, sustaining labour force participation, and attracting and retaining talent.

Glorious Orange Cat Bleps That Are Every Bit As Hilarious As They Are Endearing

Hey all, we're probably well familiar with the idea that orange cats are known to share one collective brain cell and are, how can we put this, not the brightest bulbs in the tanning bed, but utterly endearing in their own right. We often refer to them as 'Cheeto puffs'.  A cheeto puff is a soft, tender friend, a cheeto puff will always be there for you in good times and in bad. An orange cat will always be your best friend if you can provide some treats occasionally and treat them like the precious beings that they are. 

One of the more amusing gestures that we often find our orange feline companions demonstrating is something that we in the cat-loving community lovingly refer to as 'blepping'. Those who know, know, and are unfamiliar are about to experience a whole bunch of glorious orange cat bleps that are as hilarious as they are endearing. You are welcome in advance.

Strange Beasts by Susan J. Morris

Strange Beasts is so much fun that the minute I finished the book, I downloaded the audio for my husband to listen to. This is a paranormal adventure meets gothic mystery with a sapphic love story intertwined in all of that. It has shades of Penny Dreadful, non stop action, and it’s just a blast to read. The novel takes place in an alternate Victorian era where paranormal creatures openly exist with human beings. Sam … Continue reading Strange Beasts by Susan J. Morris
