Re: Swiss expats say Singaporeans not entitled to jobs in Singapore - R U TOOLAN OR N In the position of these ladies as good will ambassadors for their company, they should not have spoken in the way they did. Unfortunately, many of us who work are responsible for what we say. Secondly, when...

You can drink beer to your heart's delight on the back of a truck in the USA. Time Singapore Ang Moh-ized?

Re: More expats come to steal our jobs - they ask for LOCAL packages to compete with As Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Inland Revenue, I, an American, invaded IRAS. No place is safe.

Re: Swiss expats say Singaporeans not entitled to jobs in Singapore - R U TOOLAN OR N No I do not expect jobs in Singapore to be a right for every Singaporean. What should be expected, however, is that if there are qualified Singaporeans for a job, that job should go to a Singaporean. The same...

Re: Swiss expats say Singaporeans not entitled to jobs in Singapore - R U TOOLAN OR N First Singapore belonged to the monkeys and tigers, then came the Sri Vijaya Malays, then the Temaseks, then taken over by the Ang Moh British and the Malays, next came the Chinese, then the FTs, and now the...

yeocheowtong.com is completely truthful. We would love for someone to sue us, as we could win big bucks in our counter-suit. We are getting up to a thousand unique readers every day. We also have rodykanddavidson.com which shows why Kenneth Jeyaretnam belongs with the other terrorist prisoners...

Thanks for catching the typo - 1999 is correct. Ong never knew. I have that from a good source - the guy who did the estimate for the real property. Worked with him in SG.

You should check your history. I am just writing a post for my blog, where I state, "Soon after his election to the presidency in 1993, Ong Teng Chong felt it was his duty to know the value of Singapore's financial reserves. The Singapore government resisted saying it would take 56 man-years to...

First off, only 32% of the US national debt is foreign. Most is owed to Americans. Like Singapore "borrowing" from CPF, the US borrowed mainly from it's Social Security (CPF like fund), for the purpose of paying for the wars in the Middle East ($4 trillion). This borrowing is like that of...

Singapore's massive debt is missing money. Where did all the borrowed money go? So far as I know, the Singapore government has always had a surplus of tax revenues over expenditures. It has to be that the Lee family has the money stashed in foreign bank accounts. This finishes the Mexican Carlos...

Thanks, Sammy. I just wish I could raise myself to the level of porn sites, on-line pimping and all that good stuff;).

Not so. Escape from Paradise has never been banned or even submitted to MDA - we have that on record. Kinokuniya was approached by a lawyer from Helen Yeo's office, Philip Jeyaretnam, who threatened them with a lawsuit if they did not remove the book from sale. Kinokuniya complied. I have it on...

So it's Scroobal, the jealous, kiasu Singaporean, again - the type so well known in Singapore - as a loser. First off, the Mrs. and I are just fine, thank you. However, we have not made "a small fortune" on our book. Maybe we will on the movie, however. "Badly written book?" that is far...

Thanks - I have Orwell Turns In His Grave running now. Not a bad film, but the situation is now even worse.

There is a lot more that I am telling - about both Singapore and America. I do that in my blog at www.johnharding.com which has about 30,000 readers. To do so here, would be duplicating that effort, but you can find it all (including Kenneth Jeyaretnam drunk) on my blog. Thanks for asking.

I very much appreciate your comment. Thanks. It may be of no comfort to you, but a fear of government is not limited to Singapore. There is a great fear of government in the U.S. as well, although not quite so much as in Singapore - yet. The recent U.S. fiasco regarding the debt ceiling shows...

You are right - I do mean "Paradise" as an irony. True that tourists think Singapore is a paradise, but Singaporeans know better. I may write more on Singapore, but for now, my comments are on www.yeocheowtong.com and www.johnharding.com. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for the info, Johnny333 - will put it up on my website.
