Strictly a coastal def vessel. But then it is much cheaper to defend than to project power. Chinese can launch a 100 of these supported by stealth aircraft, satellites and land based missiles. They could effectively create a 800 mile shooting zone and render any US carrier group ineffective...

A good idea but loansharks can easily follow a resident going into a lift. Perhaps a system of cameras + plus gated keycard access would help. Forget about security guard because that is a monthly expense. Singapore police should do more patrolling instead of pushing the cost of security...

These very students will become voters at the next election. They are internet savvy, well travelled, and are willing to voice their opinions. Current PM has support because of MM. The older gen of Singaporeans, those 60 and above have seen Singapore in the colonial days and credit MM for his...

Install cameras at all entrances and lift lobbies. Cameras are no expensive. All camera video is official recorded and kept for 2 weeks unless got investigation. Also, all video is fed to residence of the block via their cable TV signal. Maybe Channel 99 or something like that. So at any...

India is no different from the other pseudo 3rd world democracies. In India you have the Gandhi family - from Nehru to Manmohan - it is all controlled by the same family since independence with short periods when the BJP came into power. Manmohan is nothing but a front man for Gandhi family...

Irrelevant. In this day and age there are moles on both sides. What matters are the ideas. People are sick of knuckle duster tactics of withholding upgrading for opposition wards as well as the use of PA for political points. Trying to make mountain out of molehill over Png's NCMP...

On the contrary, I think the contagion effect is exactly what DPM is worried about. Come the next GE, you have another generation of young net savvy Singaporeans. The regular media bias/censorship would only look silly. WIth each election, it seems that WP is getting better street creds...

While everyone is entitled to their own point of view, GMS's views or support is irrelevant. Now if Nicole Seah were to throw in her support - that will make a difference.

Re: Chan Chun Sing talks cock again, links babies out of wedlock to increase fertilit I think pretty smart to divert attention from real issues. Real issues like FT (taking jobs and school spots), overcrowding, MRT failure (laughing stock), what happened to those 2 higher up that fired for...

1) that Saverin guy is an idiot. Keep mouth shut and all is well. 2) Singapore's existence as a haven is only because these first world countries cannot decide on how to deal with these crooks. 3) 1st world countries all no money and it is popular to tax the rich (see France)

Many eventually meet their maker not because their minds go. It is often the body that fails first.

Japs are a spent force. When you compare or project military capabilities just look at the size of the country's GDP, talent and mfg capabilities. Japan has a shrinking population. In 20 years, if both country devote 5% of GDP to military, Chinese will be way ahead. Americans won the cold...

He will likely be in a wheel chair which makes NDP interesting if there is no ramp. As for comments about diapers and such - who really knows. Anyway when we all reach that age or even our parents/Ah Kong/Ma are at that age they will face the similar reality. Perhaps MM should reflect on the...

Lets say I sell my HDB flat for $500K and the flat is full paid off. But my CPF kosong, no minimum sum because I am self employed all these years. Also no medisave. Will part of that $500K kena stuck in CPF to fulfill that minimum sum. Thinking of upgrading to condo by using the $500K...

Just raise the utility bill for your gas use and they can get back that 500M loss. Funny how gas exploration companies are dropping like flies because of low natural gas price but yet my electric and gas bill keeps going up up up and away. By the way out power stations run on natural gas

Hopefully, now that they are down this road, all involved should be charged. It should be fair and transparent. A big fish should not get special treatment. Undeniable fact is that these men had sex with a prostitute. However whether it is sex with underage girl - that is to be decided in...

So what if some foreigner bought the property. The seller, a Singaporean, is making big bucks and chances are that the seller will invest and spend the $ in Singapore. What is wrong with that? Meanwhile that foreigner is transferring that $XM in wealth (whether it is made in India/China...

Mark is divorced?

Quite true. Read about their dance with the Clintons.

Friend from Boston is coming for 2 week visit. He has Iphone 4S (GSM) and wants to know if he can plug in Singapore SIM card and use. I think his phone is locked to his US phone company.
