3 ON THIS DAY: Launch of S'pore's Speak Good English Movement
Emeritus Senior Minister and former prime minister Goh Chok Tong launched Singapore's Speak Good English Movement on April 29, 2000.
It was started over concerns that widespread use of broken English would affect Singapore's ability to do business and communicate with the world.
The movement has since been revamped with the current steering committee adopting a new approach - encouraging the use of standard English among Singaporeans while recognising Singlish as a cultural marker.

COVID-19 STAY-HOME GUIDE: Nutritious herbal Chinese dishes
Unless you work in Raffles Place, chances are you would not have been to The Herbal Bar.
It is a tiny eatery with limited seating at the basement of Republic Plaza and, like most eating places in the Central Business District, caters mainly to the lunch crowd there during normal times.
It specialises in Chinese soups, with a few bento sets, side dishes and desserts to complete the meal.
COVID-19 STAY-HOME RECIPE: Pasta in bright, versatile sauce
It may seem troublesome to make your own pesto when you can easily get store-bought ones, but this recipe is worth the effort.
This coriander chilli macadamia nut pesto is one of my favourite sauces as it is fresh-tasting and versatile. I use it as a dip for bread and also as a sauce to bake chicken and fish in.
English parsley and coriander are easier to get hold of and more economical than sweet basil. If you cannot get English parsley, just use more coriander.
