; Minister questions plans to separate conjoined twins
What are some of the problems involved in separating a conjoined twin?
The problems involved in separating a conjoined twins may lead to death , may not have a good shape or even would likely end up harming the patients and the parents must have to pick one twin to die to save the other and that is not possible because that is the hard thing to do .
If you were a part of a conjoined twin, would you rather stay together with your twin for the rest of your life or would you risk both your lives to go for an operation? Why?
i would rather risk both our lives to go for an operation . we may be small like both Vani and Veena to handle those operation but i rather go to heaven . if i stay with my twins for the rest of my life , it would trouble a lot of people . it was not that easy to do things if we were conjoined twin . it really troubles people around and especially our parents . they need to earn a living to support and take care of us which would be rather tiring for them . if we go to heaven , we will both be together forever and i believe that life after death at tender age would lead us to heaven .

; Save the planet? This is a job for school kids
What are some of the things that schools in Singapore are doing in order to take care of the environment?
Schools in Singapore have their own save-the-earth programmes such as having green audit programme , having experiments like testing the air quality in their school ,contribute fruit peels to the schools compost bins . besides that , they have been thought about the recylable materials as part of their science lesson .
Do you think one person's effort in reducing, reusing and recycling will make a difference in saving the environment? What steps have you taken in the effort to save the earth?
yes , it will make a difference in saving the enviroment . like for example , 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power up a television for 3 hours . By drinking tap water we are saving not only the materials and energy resoursces to bottle the water and prevent all that waste from ending up in our landfills forever . i have been reusing materials for example during my d&t , i did not have enough wood so i reuse those waste wood that is found .

; reforming sex offenders
How does the treatment programme of the Singapore Prison Service help sex offenders?
The programme help sex offenders learn about the way they think and how their actions flow from this . An awareness of this process also helps them choose not to commit sex offences when the urge arises again .
Do you think that sex offenders should be given a second chance in the society? State your reasons.
No because if they were to be given a second chance , our residents will no longer be safe as the sex offenders will do anything like killing innocent people just to fulfill their sexual desire. Apart from that they might repeatedly commit the offence without thinking the consequences that lead them in prison.
