Should cyclists be allowed to ride on little-used pedestrian paths?
No cyclists on pavements, please. They have scratched me, knocked people down and just keep ringing their bells... and shout at you to get out of the way.

Imagine a grandparent holding a walking toddler, or an elderly couple on the pavement... Don't expect them to give way to cyclists.
- Yvonne Chow
Simple universal rule: Wheels on the road, feet on the path.
- Chelli Mah
I have no issue with them cycling (on pedestrian paths), but they must use their common sense when the place is crowded: Dismount and push, stop ringing the bell.
- Siti Nor'aini A S
Yes. Riding on pavements is better than on the road... It is really too dangerous on the roads.

Is angling in Singapore merely a pastime or is there room for a recreational fishing industry to develop?
We have water resources and a willing pool of participants... The authorities would do well to look beyond the traditional manufacturing and service industries. It is easy to develop recreational fishing as an industry.

There is a high number of anglers in Singapore with little space to fish. Maybe if they open up more areas, it would be better for the fishing community.
- Muhammad Sufyan
We need to set limits on the fish sizes as well as the quantity to be taken home. Fishing licences should be implemented as well. We should also have a tag and release system, and a list of endangered species of fish.
