She has a good chance of winning. If I'm not wrong the Golden Horse Award is now relegated to a largely local affair like MediaCorp's fame awards, so out of courtesy & protocol I would expect them to allocate a few prizes to the few outsiders.

This is a natural progression of any highly developed economy, some will consistently want to pursue greater material wealth while others will want to sit back and chill. However, I would like to touch on a few areas based on my personal observation which I think is not often spoken about: #1...

The BBC used to be much more subtle when it comes to generating anti-China propaganda, but this piece is so blatant that it's approaching Falungong Epoch Times level. I have no issues with Hong Kongers wanting to migrate elsewhere, everyone has their own personal reasons to seek a better life...

This is very typical GMS - he can't control his boasting at every turn. Proud parents who post such things focus on the kid, university and what he/se will be studying, GMS on the other hand hardly shared anything about his daughter and devotes most of the post either lambasting PAP or...

Assuming this story is as presented, both the hiring manager and the intern candidate have behaved very poorly. Hiring Manager - If he wants the candidate to come down for interview, just affirm again and briefly explain the rationale. If the candidate insists on a virtual interview and refuses...

Unfortunately nobody can save drowning plebs who don't even want to acknowledge they are drowning. They think having an option to choose either the red, blue or orange life buoy is proof that they are Michael Phelps. :smile:

I am beginning to see a narrative recently in the western press smirking over how China has abandoned Russia and is not a "true" Russian ally. This makes no sense at all if you think about it. China's position has always been it's a friend of both Russia and Ukraine and would like to see the...

Spinning is one of the most successful marketing gimmick I've ever come across, many ladies are paying outrageous amounts for a "class" that has no value-add. All they do is put many exercise bikes in one room and get an "instructor" to cycle with the attendees while blasting workout music and...

At first you were condemning that the attack had nothing to do with race and was the result of the ATB's lack of "class and grace" to joke with the insulters and therefore she got whacked. Now you seem to be coming from the angle that her mistake was not kowtowing to protect herself and she is...

Are you sure a white or black person facing the same predicament is going "make light of the moment with humor and friendliness"? I doubt so looking at the way how much they value their individual rights and adherence to political correctness of this sort. Maybe a "law abiding" Singaporean will...

During the good old prosperous days from 1990 - 2008, many non-white people bought into all that liberal bullshit on global citizenry regardless or race, language or religion, and we are all one "peoplekind". Now that the world is entering into an unstable period and social resources are...

Such losers are aplenty in the working world, don't quite understand their mentality also. Every day they just sit around passively whining about being underpaid and do nothing but wait for someone "in charge" to give them more money. When they finally quit, suddenly like want to salvage a...

Haha your post cause me to google a bit on this journalist. He has his own website which he lists down all the articles he wrote: https://muckrack.com/marwaan-macan-markar/articles Bugger appears to have a personal issue with authorities in Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. The page is...

This Nikkei article is a very contradicting one. The first 3/4 tries to paint a picture of how Laos has been tricked by China into a trap and is doomed and will soon barter away all its valuables and become a vassal state of China. Somewhere near the end, it suddenly spins the whole narrative...

40k is the capex, opex wise he has no problems as revenue is more than enough to turn a small profit according to him.

Sometimes I really don’t understand how these supposedly well-endowed Singaporeans manage their finances. 8 Days says he used to be a GM at a dim sum chain, so career wise he must have been doing very well and earning good money. So far he shares that he has only sunk $40k into this business...

To be fair, the condo was priced at a very high end of the range for Bedok at S$2,000 psf, so getting a 75% committed sales at launch is already quite an achievement. At most one can say the momentum for a rising housing market seems to be decelerating, but I doubt this is a sign that the...

Only three years out of the bureaucracy and he's back once again. Interestingly, he had nothing to say of his stint there other than a generic "collaborative culture", so combined with his relatively short stint (for a senior position) I think it's fair to deduce things didn't quite work out for...

From a technical IT POV yes this is a likely possibility, but what I'm suggesting is in the hospitality industry, the more prevalent reason such a thing happens normally has nothing to do with ticketing system. The problem usually arises due to the cruise operator's overbooking policy and/or...

This scenario, even if applicable, is unlikely to be the main contributor. A more likely explanation is the cruise operator has either too aggressively loosened its overbooking policy due to forecasting misjudgments and/or there is some miscoordination between the operator and agencies.
