Singaporeans are told to THINK now.
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
I find it ironic that if this program is successful, we would see a non-PAP government soon. Perhaps its aimed at people to think but not think too much. ;) http://www.todayonline.com/singapore...u-returns-sure Quote: Mr Kiasu returns ... for SURE Mr Kiasu returns ... for SURE Popular comic series to come out of retirement for NLB information literacy campaign SURE (Source, Understand, Research, Evaluate) View all comments Share on Tumblr BY KENNETH CHENG -23 OCTOBER SINGAPORE — After a 13-year hiatus, the popular comic series Mr Kiasu will make a comeback — with a message for readers. The iconic comic series’ new instalment, titled Everything Also Want To Be Sure, the brainchild of cartoonist Johnny Lau, will be launched on Dec 15 as part of a national information literacy campaign unveiled by the National Library Board (NLB) today (Oct 23). Mr Lau’s new comic is but one of a slew of initiatives employed by the SURE (Source, Understand, Research, Evaluate) campaign to create awareness of information literacy and imbue in the public the ability to locate, comprehend, and assess information more effectively. After getting off to a successful start in schools in May in the form of an activity-based enrichment programme called SURE Club, the campaign will now be extended to the general public through cyberspace (via the website sure.nl.sg and the campaign’s Facebook page fb.com/sgsure), workshops for everyone from teenagers to adults, and a public symposium featuring eminent speakers, such as neuroscientist Dr Carl Schoonover. The NLB has also partnered publishing house Epigram Books to weave the SURE technique into two top-selling book series, Sherlock Sam and Triple Nine Sleuths. “Information literacy is about acquiring the skills to distinguish between fact, fiction and opinion,” said NLB Chief Executive Elaine Ng, adding that the campaign aims to offer ways by which the public can “navigate information in an entertaining way”. Introduced last year as the National Information Literacy Programme and rebranded as SURE this year, the campaign is set to run till 2016. Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
