Its worrisome that there is news blackout, and more telling, more than one bank has been affected. OCBC followed by UOB, one after another in short order. Something is happening.

There are times when personas like Calvin Cheng, Kishore, Janadas, etc, suddenly say something displaying lucidity of thought and independence of mind. It is as if for one brief moment, the "whip" on them is lifted and someone high up decided an honest take on the issue was in order.

OCBC was down islandwide from 16 July around 7pm to early morning 17 July. No cash withdrawal or deposit. UOB ATMs are down now. Not sure about yesterday. No report in media about this.

Holy Molly, you're really quick to come up with examples. I remember that case - Huang Na. Sinkies were swept up in wave of sympathy. A year later, Chinese papers showed picture of mom with mansion in China. Don't call it a "house". In Sinkieland it would have been classified as a Good Class...

Life has been good to him.

"Better" or "worse" prescribes some kind of moral standard by which superpowers should behave. The fact is, there is none. Unless everyone in the world suddenly worships a supernatural deity who has the absolute right to bestow reward and punishment and fervently believes in that reality, why...

The core vulnerability of any radicalized individual is his economic disenfranchisement. Lack of jobs, lack of respect, lack of even the notion of what a "future" can mean for himself. That's the kind of people that get drawn into religious and political propaganda. They are basically tools...

The following people also belong to this category: Bleeding heart liberals who cannot accept the fact Trump won Those who believe in alternative medicine, alternative facts etc (they are the same kinds of things) People who blame the PAP for everything bad that happens People who praise the PAP...
