Will a road courtesy campaign be effective in helping us become better motorists?
There is no need for drivers to be rewarded - it is simply like rewarding kids with sweets to behave better and be more obedient.
- Jeremy Leong
There is still a lack of strict enforcement of traffic rules. That is why most accidents continue to happen. Maybe installing more enforcement cameras at accident-prone areas might help...
- Sebastian Kang
I think a good campaign coupled with measures that "villainise" discourteous drivers, while venerating the good ones, will be helpful - carrot and stick.

Are there too many betting outlets in the heartland?
Limiting the number of betting outlets will not stop gamblers from gambling. You will just deter the occasional and fringe players from placing their bets. Hardcore gamblers will still find a way to place their bets, even if you limit the outlets to a few and away from the heartland. But it would be worse if some gamblers turn to illegal bookies for the sake of convenience.

You can only go so far in trying to stop people from gambling. Removing the outlets will only force them to use other avenues, it does not remove gambling itself. Why not look at the same type of controls as casinos? Have blacklists, for example.

Stop gambling. It should not be accessible in the heartland. This will at least solve the social problem of gambling.
