交警与酒店合作 喝醉公众住酒店有折扣
“喝酒、开车，只选其一”（Choose One，Not Both）是交通警察今年推出的新信息，希望提醒驾车人能够合理做出选择，喝酒和驾车，只选一个。
交警今年也与濠景酒店（Riverview Hotel）合作，为避免公众酒后驾车，喝醉酒的公众若在濠景大酒店住宿一晚，将能获得房价优惠折扣。
由交警推出的“杜绝酒后驾车”运动已进行20多年，除了沿用2009年推出的“不要开车去喝酒，就可避免酒后开车”（Don’t Drink to Drink and You Will Never Drink and Drive）口号外，今年也推出了新的信息：“喝酒、开车，只选其一”。
濠景酒店首次参与“杜绝酒后驾车”运动，为了鼓励驾车人士酒后别开车，喝酒后不宜驾驶的公众将能以15％折扣的优惠价在酒店住宿一晚。酒店发言人谭小萍说，在酒店附近经常会看到青年喝酒后的醉酒状态，为了避免酒后开车导致意外发生，他们决定与交警合作，鼓励公众喝醉后不要开车，选择在酒店内住宿。

New English radio station to cater to women, families
New English radio station to cater to women, families
A new English radio station, which caters to women and families, will hit local airwaves in nine months' time.
SPH Unionworks will operate FM92.0, after it won an open tender by the Media Development Authority (MDA).
This brings the total number of local FM stations to 19.
To attract the widest variety of proposals, MDA did not put any restrictions on language or genre for its open tender.
MDA had put up two radio frequencies for tender. A total of 11 bids were submitted by five companies - CMS Media, MediaCorp, Singapore Austar Media Group, SPH Unionworks and StarHub.
MDA said SPH Unionworks' proposal caters to an underserved, niche segment of the population.
In a statement, MDA said existing local radio stations do provide some women and family-related content, but none are positioned as stations which cater solely to this audience segment.
MDA will tender the remaining FM89.3 frequency at a later date.
MDA said this will give industry players time to develop fresh and innovative concepts that can add further vibrancy to the local radio scene.

Not many bargains at Johor Premium Outlets
Not many bargains at Johor Premium Outlets
Friday's heavy rain did not stop hundreds of Singaporeans from taking an hour's drive to Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) to look for designer goods at lower prices, said The Straits Times.
However, shoppers at the 16,258 sq m mall were rather disappointed and each went home with only a bag or two of purchases.
The mall noted that the discounts were not as big as those at Premium Outlets in the US and Europe, even though there were discounts of up to 70 percent on selected products. For instance, a Zegna tie that cost S$290 at the Takashimaya boutique was about 55 percent cheaper at S$130 (RM315), while high heels from Salvatore Ferragamo, which usually sell for S$790 in Singapore, cost around S$430 (RM1,040).
"If we wait for things to go on sale in Singapore, they are about the same price," said shopper Y.L. Tan.
"Compared with prices in Singapore, they are definitely lower but American brands like Coach are much cheaper in the US," noted Ginny Chu, who spent around RM700 (S$289) on a pair of sunglasses, a watch and a handbag.
The report noted that JPO retailers sell leftover stock from past seasons while some items were exclusively made by the brands for their outlet stores. Store managers said that because theirs are outlet shops, some signature products are not available.
Meanwhile, some stores like Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Polo Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers are expected to open only on 11 December, when the mall holds its grand opening.

iPhone 4S 28日来到狮城
iPhone 4S 28日来到狮城
iPhone 4S这个月底登入本地，消息传出后，本地网友对不是推出iPhone5纷表失望。
苹果公司去年6月推出iPhone4，得到市场热烈反应，到了上一季度还卖出2034万台手机，引起瞩目。经历了15个月的真空期后，美国苹果公司刚发布新一代智能手机iPhone。不过，苹果并没有如预期所料，发布万众期待的iPhone5，而是发布了iPhone 4S，让许多“苹果迷”大感失望。
对此，本地网民纷纷表示不解，因为外电之前不时传出iPhone5的消息，而且英国日前也有一个电讯网站率出现了iPhone 5资料，掀起不少手机迷的讨论和期待。
不过也有网民认为，iPhone4S其实就是iPhone5了，还有一些认为不需要那么追求它是否叫做iPhone5还是iPhone4S，重点还是在于它的功能比之前的还要来得进步。有一名网友表示，虽然感到失望，但还是会购买即将在本地正式售卖的iPhone4S。
iPhone4S即将在10月28日正式出售，本地业者表示目前还没有接到预购的热潮。
