Party assistant secretary-general Steve Chia said the NSP would be launching a Web site on the Internet next Friday. People will also be able to sign up as party members or volunteer to help out during the election campaign via the Internet. So far, most government ministries and agencies have sites on the Internet mainly devoted to promoting their own activities. The site will include general information about the environment, including the ozone layer and acid rain, as well as details about environment- related legislation like the Basic Environment Law.
Artists can enter in several categories - architecture, graphic design and product design.
The pages will provide information of the entrants' progress, as well as showcase last year's winners. The council hopes that through this service, business trends can be analysed and investment opportunities identified. Singapore companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, can also find suitable Shandong partners for their business ventures. For companies, the Bill promises a new era of opportunity, and is expected to start a wave of takeovers, mergers, and alliances as giant corporations try to assemble a full range of offerings in telecoms, news and entertainment services. And the effects will probably not be limited to the U.S. market, since most of the firms are global players.
