Problem is her profession. A lawyer requires a certain level of ethical behaviour. If she were a bus admin degree or IT programmer it is fine if she slept with the prof.

I think state needs approval of the parents, given the one child policy. So as long as ok with parents it is fine. The rewards are huge given the potential endorsements. Any athlete that hopes to reach intl stage has to put in the hours. Many go live away from their parents (USA, UK...

All this talk about who will come out ahead in the Olympics is very much like the current situation of what is happening on world stage. No one really cares about the rest the the nations. All that matters is USA vs China. Globally as EU implodes China and US will remain the two most powerful...

I cannot agree more. Do all the test you want but if you find nothing then give her the recognition she deserves. If you find drugs, expell her for life! I keep reading about how she is so young. It seems like all the top female swimmers are between 15 to 17!

Based on your premise then Phelps could very well be helped by some super undetectable drug concocted over in the US where team sports (NFL, MLB, NBA, Tennis) are multi billion dollar industries, owed by billionaires, where biotech, big pharma is most advanced. Cmon, don't be so cynical...

It is unfair to tint Ye Shiwen's achievement. If she passed the drug tests then she should be cheered for her win. Pretty sure IOC is doing double checks and if they cannot find anything then give it to her. Very unfair to cloud her win by saying that IOC will find something perhaps 5 to 8...

Test them - I am sure all the winners are tested. If they are clean then give them their win. At every such events we find unique talent - just like that Bolt sprinter. The stars, genes and training align and you got an exceptional champion.

I think that is is unfair to presecute these guys and this girl is no spring chicken. However since school principal already go Changi then wouldn't the rest face the same punishment. After all the "criminal" act is pretty much the same-sleeping with underage girl. OK maybe of you are sole...

I was just pointing out that as far as great industrial designers are concerned Brits no comparison to Italian/French/Swedes or even Japanese. As for the opening ceremony, it is a matter of personal preference. What is great is that Beijing was done by Chinese Zhang Yi Mou and London was...

Let the man have his day in court. If there was CBT or fraud then jail and throw away the keys. Also, I think there should be better audits of these non profits. Some of these entities are larger that 90 percent of the listed companies on Singapore Stock Exchange. To be given non...

Not just the Brits lah. How about Italian, Spanish, Swedes, French, Japanese. It just so happens that a Brit designed an iconic phone which became popular because Jobs chose to meld all the functions together seemlessly. And given Job's prickly pursuit of perfection, who knows how many...

I do feel it is unfair for HDB to change their rules abruptly overnight. After all some may have made their investment decisions based on their ability to rent out. Instead HDB should have changed the rules to apply to new PR buyers and yet phase out this ability to rent out flats over a...

At least there is now a difference between pr and citizen. Gov should start showing priority between Singaporean and pr.

Since they are paid according to performance and performance is lacking as we can see, shouldn't we demand that they repay what ever bonuses they received.

Firstly, SMRT is to be blamed. They set the specs, they should QC when the system was built. So heads must roll - simple as that. However, SMRT have the perogative to sue the contractor and suppliers (should have been stated in the contract on work performance).

Agree with you. I doubt if shaw will see the inside of Changi. But you know, world is not fair. If you are powerful you get more eggs, if you are rich you hire best lawyers, you are classified as a white horse in SAF. However since the offences are similar, I wonder how he can get out of...

I see nothing wrong with sex part of it. But the error is when it is in exhange for contract. It is like taking client for KTV or golf. Your competitors are doing the same. Whether the sales staff is willing to add more to it is between the staff and the client. They are both adults.

Is he related to MM Goh?

There is a preference for fairer skin. Just look at all the cosmetics out there with bleaching and sunscreen properties. Northern Chinese thinking they are superior to the Southern Chinese no different from North Indians thinking they are superior to the darker Tamils in the South. The...

What we should ask for is for all MPs to publicly disclose their assets as well as various boards that they sit on. It should apply to all MPs. I think transparency is the way to go.
