We were told we needed to pay top dollar for top talent. Hence the super high minister pay which also mean all the next level down are well compensated - perm sec, head of GLCs, super scale civil servants etc etc. But now everyday I read here break down there flood, congestions, insufficent...

As a percentage of WP MPs, Malays seem well represented. I do not under Ptader's rant.

With a rapidly shrinking population, high government debt and threats against Japanese industrial dominance (Sony, Sharp, Panasonic all under siege) it is pointless for Japs to go into military race. Furthermore it is hard to match againts China with a pop 12 times the size. Then they are...

Talking about police investigation, what ever happened to that Indian boy that threatened to destroy Marina Sands

And that will be problem because even mata can change of heart. Unless there is justification if not even mata with the people lah.

One person's "freak election" is another's "change". Singapore army are all reservists and will not follow any order to go after own citizens. Think about it - you probably have friends, relatives, all over parts of Singapore so they will not do anything. Gurkhas are irrelevant especially...

I agree. On top of that HDBs will maintain price stability as it is needed for retirement (reverse mortgage) for many. Therefore stable HDB prices will set a base for the rest of property sector On top of that a crash will weaken the local banks due to their exposure to the property market

Why is it that TCH does the talking. Before it would be MM there pounding table, purple faced, sternly warning people that woe will befall opposition wards. At least I give it to MM; he is a true leader!

I would be very worried. Because come next election they could lose Ang Mo Kio or even Tanjong Pagar and you see what will happen. Just look for some powerful ministers (those in the inner circle) to lose and you may see power grab internally. I believe if you are not MP cannot be minister.

SDP has Chee as a lose cannon. He is damaged goods and need to move aside. Chee is more like a mouth piece talking about human rights and democracy. Most Singaporeans care more about jobs, housing, decent transportation, schools for their children and quality of life. We already have...

This is voter's reply to the changes the gov made after last election. Too little, too late. We were told, we need to pay top dollor for top talent. Then we see MRT breakdown (laughing stock of the world) and no accountability. In Pte sector, they pay well but get fired when things go bad...

If they withhold upgrading or programs from opp ward then they are hanging themselves with own rope. With Hougang/Aljunied/PE - it means that we all have relatives, gf, in laws, cousins, army buddies, nephews, grandparents or even parents living in these areas. So any punishment affects us in...

Opposition unity is nonsense. Each party should have their own agenda. In this election, WP is clearly the strongest opposition party so why should it unite with other parties and dilute its own agenda. If you unite with SDP, you are hostage to the antics of Chee - who may go off on a rant...

He was chosen because of his compelling story. After the talk about being out of touch with common folks and ministers making millions of $$ and living in large bungalows, about going for French cooking classes, we are beginning to see some taking the MRT to show they are one of us. Koh's...

Always thought software can be used for years and can perform task it was originally design for without need to upgrade. After all isn't this software pretty much like some accounting software? Was a wrong decision made that put the town councils at the demands of the software provider...

Strange that SBS/TIBS paid their drivers so poorly that he is unable to put food on the table for the family.

Maybe best approach is to just vote opp till they have at least a 30 to 40 percent regardless of the PR/psy ops etc

I wonder what is happening internally. You may have 1/3 that drank the coolaid, likely from very poor family, did well in school- SAF scholar and fast tracked - these believe in the mantra. Then you may have 1/3 that are in it for the benefits, likely have 50 directorships and trying to...

Must remove politics out of mgmt of town councils - so forget about HDB doing the mgmt but just set up an independent entity to run it. There should be 1 standard for upgrading, one standard for cleanliness through Singapore. All finances should be audited and published quarterly.

No lah, it is called kiasu. With the loss of Aljunied, the grassroots folks are likely toning things down and becoming very conservative in their counts. So A(grassroot on the ground people) discount 10% and give number to B (head grassroot over looking Punggol) and he discounts another 10%...
