What is this beef about needing a formal invite? Secondly, why does it state countries are sending their top honchos without needing a formal invite? Only three countries in ASEAN did not send their top leader to this conference - Thailand, Singapore and Brunei. Thailand, Singapore and...

Annabel and Lau Kok Keng can read the tea leaves. Krishna? I think he too can read the leaves but I am just thinking if I am in his position, perhaps he might be struggling whether to make an appearance - not to go means he is playing safe and if going, he has to account for the fact he is...

If you take a look at Bill Ng's company website, you have an idea what he may be up to. He has interests in stocks like ISR and this listed company has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Look at the penny stocks in the list which are not investments in the real sense but manipulation...

I agree about the terrible part. But this time around, the government has no say. FAS is meant to be a private organisation's matter in conducting its affairs. The key figures are only arrested with no charges meaning they are not guilty till it is proven.

Bro, What you said makes sense now in connecting the dots. FIFA is one of the most corrupted organisations around. All these sports bodies revolve around money and the dispensing of money for kickbacks. Even with scandals around, the top still get voted in. Look at how AFF came in to...

Re: Wow! So many CHC gong kias queuing outside high court! Brainwashed and delusional The disgusting way in which these top church folks use the church funds to enrich their lives and flaunt them is terrible. Look at Sun Ho's lifestyle together with Kong Hee - living the ostentatious life...

Re: Wow! So many CHC gong kias queuing outside high court! Brainwashed and delusional Interesting Chao Hick Ting raised this issue. It is possible he may be referring to some of the minor members in the whole thing like Serina, Sharon and John Lam - these were "merely" following instructions...

Re: Wow! So many CHC gong kias queuing outside high court! Brainwashed and delusional Different scenarios, Sam. Here there is a motive - to hide the fact that building funds are used to promote Sun's career and protray the church is not involved in funding. Hence intention to deceive...

The elected presidency is created as a"counter-check" on the government and based on it, whoever stands as a candidate in a multi-person race as best able to oppose government tends to have more interest from voters. The designers of this system did not even realise that they are asking the...

Sam the ardent PAP admirer? Yah, provided he even show up his face.

Dhana - maybe. But Singapore just had an Indian President not too long ago.

Character "flaws" - all these about him are well known and by now, age would have ruled him out.

Unlikely. There is a reason why he is not never made full minister notwithstanding the electoral loss in aljunied.

CSM obviously did not want to help fulfill the legitimacy of the duo LTK-Sylvia. Having said it, he must have felt no meaning to stay on. I guess he will be stepping out of politics to pursue other stuff. Clearly he is a man of ambition, and WP is not the platform for him to play a bit...

Oh I must have underestimated MIW. Certainly, they are always ahead of everyone, and time and again, they have it figured out. It will all depend whether Tan Kin Lian declare interest, and if he does, they will act on their arbitrary clause? To ensure a contest to show some "legitimacy"...

Doubt so. He is far too much intellectual for the "dumb" role of kissing babies and hugging grannies. He is better off to get a job in World Bank or IMF. The last time he was wanted there, MIW vetoed it and asked him to stay on here. He is still needed for the next 5 years in government.

I tend to have a good view of Menon and his predecessor coz at least, they tried to improve the rule of law in terms of justice. Over here, I feel for his position and anybody being put in that position will do what he needs to do. Let him be. Always amused why one wants to get Singaporeans to...

Yes, it is true that the general Thai people has no respect for the Crown Prince whose antics are well known and he doesn't care at all. They tried to reform him and get him to behave but to an avail. I heard it long ago from my Thai friends and the average Thai layperson thinks like that...

The HDB blocks in Sims drive are the old type and those in Bedok, similarly so. All old-type HDB flats have waste pipes which have a certain convex curve in one portion before it connects to the straight pipe that flushes down the used water. That is a place where it breeds mossies. Every...

Oh lawyers. Never have a good impression of them at least I recall from my experience - most of them are alike, always thinking of how to make money. They will never fail to remind you that their words have value and numerous hints of needing to be "reciprocated" in returns for money...
