You are providing a great service by offering to help people free of charge. I think if only more people were to do their part and offer whatever help they can (in areas where they have expertise), Singapore will be a much better place.

I have a feeling that Aljunied GRC will not exist in the next elections.

Please show us where it is stated that Chiam will be retiring and Desmond Lim will be standing in Potong Pasir?

Lee Bee Wah is a disgrace of an MP and politician. The only reason why she continues to hold a Parliamentary seat is because she is riding on the coat-tails of the Prime Minister in Ang Mo Kio GRC. I guarantee that if she were to stand alone in a single-member constituency in the next...

I'm sorry but with all due respect, I feel that you still do not grasp the point that I have made. I will attempt to make it more clear. Yes you are right that it is possible to scour around for the best and most skilful players. However, the core issue remains the same: one team is able to...

Why doesn't Anwar just end this nonsense and seize power now?? If he has the support of the 31 MPs, he should be able to take over the government without waiting for the transition to Najib as PM.. once Najib takes over the reins as PM it will be very very difficult for Anwar. He will probably...

Obviously he did not have the motive of deliberately wanting to winding up the party. Initially he tried to take part in elections and basically participate in the PAP's system of politics but later on he realised that the PAP simply kept changing the rules of the game to suit themselves. As...

Dr Chee has been saying for a long time that he does not believe in the electoral system, and that he does not think it is possible the opposition to achieve true democracy under this heavily imbalanced electoral system. Instead, civil disobedience is the only way to achieve true reform. He...

Singaporeans really deserve MPs like Lee Bee Wah. They do not deserve MPs like JB Jeyaretnam. What an ungrateful bunch they are.

In fact there is a historical parallel to this. In the 1991 elections Ling How Doong won in Bukit Gombak and the PAP government proceeded to demolish the old Hillview HDB estate there. Of course it was later absorbed into Hong Kah GRC.

Actually the truth is that the majority of residents in Serangoon Gardens voted for the Opposition in the last elections. Of the five precincts in Aljunied GRC, Serangoon Gardens (which is represented by Lim Hwee Hua) was the only one in which the WP won. Maybe the PAP is doing this to PUNISH...

Honest question - do you think JBJ's sons and his family think that his sacrifice was worth it? Do you think they feel that Singaporeans (an apathetic, indifferent and passive lot) are actually DESERVING of the huge sacrifices that their father made, without asking for anything in return?? I am...

We are not asking you to sacrifice everything you have for us. Singapore today is no longer the Singapore of the 1980s. Being a cosmopolitan society ingrained with a proud British heritage which breeds well educated and widely traveled citizens, Singapore should be an exemplary democracy for...

I think Low was simply trying to say that Mr Jeyaretnam was someone who didn't just talk and criticise ("armchair critic") without doing anything. He actually transformed his words into actions. While it is true that alot of the critics on the internet are very concerned for the well-being of...

COMMENTS OF SENIOR MINISTER GOH CHOK TONG IN RESPONSE TO MEDIA QUERIES ON THE DEMISE OF MR J B JEYARETNAM I was taken aback when I learnt this morning that Mr J B Jeyaretnam had passed away. I did not expect it as I had recently read of his formation of a new political party and his interest...
