淡滨尼居民发现住屋环境很肮脏，枯萎的大片叶子掉满草地，多天没人清理 -- This statement already showed that the FT are not doing their jobs. They are supposed to be cleaning the area daily and not waiting for rubbish to accumulate (like in their homeland) before cleaning. The residents already discovered that fallen trees did not...

A major international event and they can screw up. Indians promised you the sky when trying to persuade you or sell you an idea. However when it come to concrete actions, they have no substance to back them up. Now we know what kind of Indian FT we have been importing. Over my dead body will...

came across this article in Soccernet. now we are even involved in faking soccer matches using fake international teams.... "Sheik Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, vice president of the Bahrain football federation, has insisted the match was legitimate and that the confusion has been created by a...

Am curious. Which part of China are you talking about. China is so huge that that the definition of rural and urban is very prominently displayed in this country. So if you are saying that they are backward in the rural area, then you are right but if you are saying that cities like Shanghai...

I spoke to a few athletes and talked to them heartily. What I found out from some is that all foreigners invited to attend the games would be provided with a SIM card with unlimited local calls. The higher ranks one even gets a cell phone. --- this is rubbish and totally waste of money...

Forum doggy Clinton666 is bumping his own thread and asking for support to celebrate FAP's birthday today. I am glad many members wisely chose not to reply in his thread so as not to show support. So i am creating this thread to let us wish Singapore well for the future instead of celebrating...

Ms Wang, a study mama from China, was also glad that the YOG has brought her new friends. But what will live on in her memory is the rush of pride she felt when she watched on television as the flame arrived in Singapore last Thursday. 'I've long considered Singapore my home, and I was so...

British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Hunt has been quick to defend the size of the squad however, insisting there has not been a lack of interest from the various sports' national governing bodies. --- This statement says it all. Lack of interest. He is indirectly saying that the...

if they give the tickets for free, we should get them but not use them. Keep them and they will boost that all tickets are snapped up and full attendance is expected. On event day, we will not go and when the media show/broadcast live the empty stadium, it will definitely put the MIW/govt to shame

good leaders planned and worked within constraints and limitations. This showed their ability to bring out the best from a defined parameters. Poor and bad leaders planned as if resources are limitless. This any Tom, Dick Harry can do it. We do not need to pay them millions to do so.

good leaders or planners do not burst budget by more than threfold. The fact that they did already show they had failed and are not fit to be leaders

5/hrs? an hour!!!! How can they pay so low. PAP knows how to pay themselves well to keep themselves corruption free so similar theory must apply when come to employing citizens to project good image as ambassadors to the games. They are representing singapore in another way and must also be...

i am wondering did those scholars sitting in their ivory towers sit down and do their maths before committing themselves? did they ponder over how one can raise a family with a 3k salary in 10 years time and still talking about quality of life or swiss standard as they always mentioned it...

Someone's head should roll in this situation. If budget can exceeds 3 times the planned budget. This means that the planning had screwed up or someone is asleep during the meetings and not paying attention. How can any committee or event be planned on a floating/elastic budget in the first...

Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said he believes incomes in the next 10 years can be raised----reading this statement makes me see how stupid our Finance Minister is and there are easily many others better ones around than him. Simply nonsense coming out from his mouth and to say that he...
