SINGAPORE’S The Straits Times
The Sunday Times says
Rich repository of collective memories
.
Potter around the National Archives of Singapore’s website, and visitors will discover such quirky gems as an interview in Cantonese with a samsui woman, English language conversations with ordinary people who survived the Japanese Occupation, and musicians’ memories of bangsawan, a traditional Malay opera. Such archival recordings are a vivid reminder that while history books tend to focus on the deeds of the great and the good, the tapestry of a nation is woven from the warp and weft of countless ordinary lives.
The Archives is a rich repository of the nation’s memories, and, literally, pieces of its history in the form of photographs and documents. So it is apt that in this bicentennial year, when Singaporeans are being encouraged to deepen their knowledge of the nation’s history, the Archives has got a much-overdue upgrade. The refurbished building, which opened last week, boasts a restored scallop-shaped veranda and new facilities such as oral history studios and an expanded cinema space. The spit and polish has been directed at its physical premises, but the Archives has been steadily digitising its resources, making its treasures more accessible for the interested layman.

THAILAND’S BANGKOK POST
EDITORIAL – COLUMN – OPINION:
Rail crossings remain unsafe
A crash involving a passenger van and a train in Lop Buri last week proves that a “couldn’t care less” attitude remains a major cause of accidents.
Six passengers, including a child, were killed and nine others injured when a van driver went through a rail crossing and collided with a Bangkok-bound passenger train in Phatthana Nikhom district in the early hours of Friday morning, at the start of the Songkran festival.
.
The crash occurred on the first of the so-called “seven dangerous days”.

If a barricade is too expensive, at least they should put up a warning sign, with or without flashing lights, to alert motorists of the upcoming potential for danger.
