A group of 10 foreign bloggers will urge other expats to reply to the 2010 census questionnaires.

They speak eight foreign languages as their mother tongues ― English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Japanese, Russian, Thai and Hindu. The questionnaires about foreigners are to be written in the eight languages.

The bloggers will try to share information on census questionnaires with other expats through their personal blogs and connections with their expat communities.

The census will be undertaken for 15 days from Nov. 1, for both Korean nationals and expats. This time, there will be more questions for foreign residents, a move reflecting an increasingly multicultural society.

The foreign bloggers got together in the building of Statistics Korea in Daejon on July 21 to start their census promotion.

Samsung betting on mirrorless cameras

Samsung betting on mirrorless cameras

The ruling Grand National Party yesterday zeroed in on chief justice Lee Yong-hoon as it upped the ante in a dispute over controversial court rulings.
The conservative GNP called on the Supreme Court head to take responsibility for the controversy surrounding "slanted" rulings.

The party said it will officially demand he dissolve a private association of young, progressive-minded justices who are involved in the court decisions in question.

Lee struck back, telling reporters, "I will firmly safeguard the independence of judiciary."

Lee had kept silent in the face of one of the widest-reaching and fiercest political disputes to engulf the judicial institution. Lee was appointed by former President Roh Moo-hyun in September 2005 for a six-year term.

The GNP and conservatives blamed him for "leftist tendencies" among young justices and a series of "politically biased" rulings.
