He knows that if he is fielded again in Aljunied, he will likely lose again. But if he contests in a GRC, he ( and the PAP ) will be criticised for using the backdoor to gain entry to Parliament. Not to mention that victory through a GRC may also be iffy given the sourness on the ground now made...

Exactly...the assumption that imported foreigners/new naturalised citizens will behave differently i.e. have a higher reproductive rate is fallacious. If the reasons for the current low fertlity rate remain e.g high costs of bringing up children due to high costs of living viz stagnant wages...

Nope that is part of the planned obsolence policy. It is similar to having always an embedded battery. This way, there will eternally be a replacement market! This was Job's genius as was creating an eco-system around all Apple products so that linking and familiarity breeds complacence and...

My thots exactly...don't fall for this out- of- the- cold surprise slaying of an elitist enhancing sacred cow...you can bet that the pro-alumni scheme will be scrapped next. I suspect that the new spin head honcho has convinced his masters that the winning strategy is to first trick the...

The real problem is that Tumasik thinks it gets a bigger bang ( though more often, bigger flops ) with a concentrated portfolio. This requires it to buy substantial stakes in companies. It has therefore not been recruiting people with conventional fund managers' background but investment...

Well said!

Bro you mustnt forget the other sibling who was GCT' press secretary and one time Singapore High Commissioner in HK....all ardent supporters of the establishment .

Brilliant! now why didnt I think of this?

Interesting this...a possible black operation...was ET behind it esp since he chairs the Presidential Candidates panel and used to be in both ISD and SID?

He is working for Capital Land in China....

This was at a Hong Lim Green rally...the flats are those at Pickering St...maybe the star speakers pulling in the crowds were Lim Chin Siong or Ong Eng Guan

this pic must be at least 55 years old...just look at the cars...they are all vintage...lol!

The uniformed ones seconded to ISD do not have their ranks shown so there are more Supt, DAC etc

A DAC is only equivalent to a COL, AC may now be the equivalent of Sr COL and only SAC is equivalent to BG level in SAF.

In an effort to stem resignations esp at the scholar level in recent years, there has been rank inflation. Previously a CO NPC was only an ASP. Now an ASP may only be a team head at an NPC whilst some NPCs are headed by Supt. Land Division Comdrs are at least at DAC level, some are helmed by AC...

DC may have got to know Subhas when he was CO of Woodlands NPC ( which covers Sembawang and Marsiling ). DC was then active in the Marsiling CCC....

The irony is that Desmond was Head, Special Investigation Section of the CID when he was a DSP ( he was a Supt when he resigned to contest GE 2011 ). This unit handles all major crimes such as murders, kidnappings etc

If we want to stretch this what about all the speeches written for the politician office holders by civil servants...are these politicians to disclose that what was expressed are not their own original thoughts?

Its the eight dollar heart bypass operation again....
