Nestle assures safety of milk products
25 September 2008Nestle issued a statement a few days ago assuring the public that its raw material for milk are imported from Australia, New Zealand, Europe and United States. It also stated that Nestle applies high quality testing for their brands like Nido, Bear Brand, Neslac, Nestogen, Nesvita and Nestle. Their other brand like Nan is imported from abroad. Nan 1 is imported from Netherlands, Nan 2 and 3 is from Switzerland, Nan HW1 and 2 is from Germany.
More China made products pulled off Singapore 7-11 branches, includes M&Ms, Snickers, etc.
23 September 2008Excerpt from : http://www.mysinchew.com/node/16560?tid=14
The Straits Times found on Saturday (20 Sept) that a 7-Eleven outlet in Braddell had pulled a list of products from its shelves. The list included Snickers bars, M&Ms, Nabisco Chicken In A Biskit, Dove chocolate bars, Mentos yogurt balls, Oreo wafer sticks, and Want Want Take One Baby Bites.
For consumers, reading labels seems advised: A check by The Straits Times last night found that the Snickers and Dove chocolates sold at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Toa Payoh were made in the United States, but those same chocolate brands sold at a neighbouring minimart were labelled 'Product of China'.
Chinese milk, yoghurt, ice cream affected by melamine… might be in your coffee too.

Global Warming Is A Bubble
7 July 2008Like the latest buzz on commodities, people are overreacting to the concept of global warming. Meet Bjorn Lomborg, founder of the Copenhagen Consensus and a skeptical environmentalist, whose realistic approach to prioritizing global problems is a breath of fresh air after being bombarded by the near suffocating rhetoric on climate change.
Climate change should not be treated like a religion, but as one of many factors that we should attend to–and objectively address it.
