When asked why Singapore was looking for people like her - her sincere answer was a million bucks. According to her, the locals can't speak or write English properly and firms that deal with international firms cannot employ locals. This is probably the most ironic thing in this country. We...

Before i start, I would like to ask: Can you take criticism of this nature well? This is not about taking criticism or giving criticism. It's about nationalism. Why can't they use the "soft" propaganda approach? Go ahead and spin tales about the superiority of Singaporeans. It may start off...

Why are Singaporeans always putting down other Singaporeans!? First Adam Khoo, then we have that lau cheebye kia Goh Choke Tiong talking nonsense about Singaporeans!? You can not take criticism from others , then do not criticise others. What the fuck do they expect!? As an economy advances...

#8 - the service in Taiwan (Taipei) is 10x better than the fuck service you have here. There, the waitress in restaurants take care to explain the menu not here where the dumb fucks cannot even speak clearly to save their lives. This is an unfair comprison, The salepersons (HK/TWN) basically...

Well, good that he made such changes but why the change? I mean if in actual fact, he could possibly make it earlier for APEC, why did he hold it back earlier? I am just puzzled. There is an important regional meeting APEC in Singapore but he chose to fly to Japan and gave his speech there...

why then over here in sgp, we are discouraged from speaking hokkien, canto, teochew and etc dialects? he stressed that "we must know our roots and origins..." but then again in sgp, everyone are advised to refrain fr speaking our ORIGINAL dialects but speak MANDARIN only. one of our roots...

Our approach on press reporting is simple: The press can criticize us, our policies. We do not seek to condemn that. "But we demand the right of response, to be published in the journal that published the original article. We do not accept that they can decide whether to publish our response...

You see, this is the nice thing about Malays in general. You guys have better social etiquette (almost like the Japanese) and you go for simple things. A roof over your head and three meals a day are all your people ask for and that, with time to spend with your friends and loved ones, is more...

The chinese would actually hardly complain if they need to speak another language. Like for eg when japan was rising in the 80s many chinese learnt jap. Did they complain hey why should we learn jap. LHL can speak russian because his father thought USSR would be a world power and defeat the...

One example, what if India takes over China economy success someday, do Singaporean need to learn Tamil to accommodate company business direction? Be flexible, follow the smell of the money. There is no shame to it. What are you going to do if Microsoft Windows is losing its OS war with...

Whethere or not malay has contributed were delibrately not mentioned, as I just wanted to see whether anyone will be honest enough to share their sincere view about malay who has actually did play their part in building what singapore has become. Any one who studied SG history would clearly...

I hope can bring some light to those who may be ignorant and for some with intention to twist the history. Hello, why not stretched your history a bit longer, when orang-uton still roam the land, should we leave this country and let the nature takes over once again. Malays have enough...

Please do not think that the malays or indians are marginalised , they are all given similar opportunities but they must prove themselves. One thing to add: some of the employers are not quite comfortable to go all-out with all-English environment just yet. It is no longer just a sprinkle of...
