What nonsense. Purpose of rule is not to have polls survey results to unfairly affect the election. It is very easy to word and survey or poll so as to get a skewed result. Also polls and surveys can be used to change the impression a voter may have on candidate - especially one that has no...

Unfortuantely pollution is the price to pay for progress/industrialisation. And you need industrialisation to climb the next rung to a developed society. All the large developed economies went through this step. Over in India, their pollution is that of poverty. No public latrines, people...

PAP will win. With 3 cornered fight and no familiar faces, opposition has zero chance. SDP Chee should stop his harping about his Western style democracy. Singaporeans have right to vote and that in itself is democracy to most SIngaporeans. What they are interested are bread butter issues...

I think we are over taxed! Governments should raise enough taxes to cover their costs (schooling, medical, social programs, national defence) with maybe a little extra set aside. Anything more than that is removing $$ from private sector and transfering it into Gov. Gov by it very nature...

World has change. Internet means loss of media control. People are willing to weigh the views of a single blogger against the entire media machinery. Old method of no upgrading of opposition ward no longer works. It was ok when you punish a small group of people - Potong Pasir/Hougang. But...

I do not think there is any corruption just does not look good. Singapore has very little corruption and credit has to be given to MM for that. Just go look at Malaysia, indonesia, Philippines and you know what I mean. We often see politicians in those countries plunder the wealth for...

Now idea how the CPF works there but if it is just deposited into bank account, US$1K a month can live like King in Philippines. So it makes great sense for them to move back.

Make sense. Unless you had high paying jobs retirement there is expensive. One big sickness kena sued for any small thing and you are bankrupt.

When you play toto or join contest it usually say that employees and family members are not allowed to participate The issue is how can the pap mp and members who are managing these town council on behalf of the taxpayers take it upon themselves to sell the software to their own entity. At the...

No need to deport parents. But that 13 year old boy has to be deported. If the boy does not have family to look after him then perhaps the mother has to follow him back to India to keep an eye on him. Now if the family were to have taken Singapore citizenship the boy can stay. I cannot see...

Good idea. But just a shortened BMT where they teach how to shoot. First aid, civil defense and toned down illy. Maybe a 2 month course. Then reservist duties just refresher for shooting, and first aid training - maybe 1 day a year. If some girls are gungho they can apply to enter regular BMT...

Have not read all the parts. But selling public assets to political party in control does not smell right. That is a red flag. Furthermore the political entity that bought the software is merely a shell company. And the moment the sale was complete, the usage of the software was curtailed...

Minimum sentence - at least a few days detention, heavy fine and Deportation. Can re-apply after 1 year. The kid has to leave Singapore and try living in New Delhi for 1 year and see the difference in living standards. How can we give him a visa to stay in Singapore after what he said? Give...

In this day, such threats should be taken very seriously. We can read of many cases where teenagers have been used by terrorist groups. Maybe no rotan, but definately a short jail stint (a few days), and expulsion from country. This has got nothing to do with race and citizenship.

For democracy to work, there must be a strong educated middle class that is not beholden to the rich. India and Philippines are not democracies. Major portion of pop live on less than $2 a day, there is no proper sewer system and people defecate on the streets, the totally undemocratic caste...

The moment he made such a threat, police should have investigated. No need for police report lah. If he did indeed put that on facebook, minimum is large fine, face publish on paper and details showing that police have done an investigation and jail 1day. MBS has got even more people on a...

Dr Tan may have family commitments but I am sure there are many "young Mr Tan out there". By using his name and throwing some seed money, he could keep it alive. If the shop space is his, just donate it. If system needs some $, just kick in the first $500K of $1M (pretty sure he can get some...

Perhaps, he should have continued that clinic but instead offer FOC for people without the means - especially the elderly. He can donate the premises (if it is rented, pay for rental or if he owns the place just donate the place). Then appeal to young doctors from SMA to donate 3 to 4 hours a...

Multi corner fight ok but winner must have majority of more than 50%. If there is no majority then there should be a run-off for the top 2 highest. If not like Presidential race where the winner only represents the wishes of minority of population.

The issue is with hygiene. Dogs and cats are usually toilet trained. Cows goats sheep are not. At very least town council should have a policy that restrict such activities. Maybe $1000. Fee. Notice be given to residents on when cow is coming. Applicant is responsible to clean up after the...
