I remember Jah started a few threads on e-scooters and then vanished. Hope nothing happened to him, with news of e-scooter accidents occurring on a daily basis.

Fundamental truism of human nature: We hate most in others what we hates most in ourselves. In psychology we call it projection: we subconsciously repress what we dislike in ourselves and project it on to others – because we feel better when we target our hate at others instead of ourselves...

Damn, that will put the LGBT activists out of a job.

I remember Mahathir once saying – like me, he exaggerates – that before Singaporeans can shift into 3rd in their Ferraris, they'll hit the sea.

Same reason that Americans read Grisham and watch Hollywood, while the Europeans read Proust and watch Tarkovsky, I guess. Of course, I generalize and exaggerate, but you get my drift. :)

No need for SUVs in Singapore. Period. The SUV & MPV craze started here in earnest in the noughties when local car buyers slavishly imitated the North American trend without understanding the impetus behind it. The ladies loved the high vantage point, and the guys dug the ego boost that came...

PR? Hello, it's citizenship and much coveted red passport right away!

In the "70s Islamic had the best briyani rice, chicken curry and Mysore mutton along North Bridge Rd. Also the only restaurant to serve northern roti. (In those days these south Indian Muslim restaurants didn't serve northern fare like naan, rogan josh, tandoori chicken.) But standards have...

台北天空现异象 阳明山〝彩虹〞历时9小时破记录 纽约时间： 2017-12-04 11:49 PM 新唐人北京时间2017年12月05日讯】彩虹带给人绝妙景色，但一不注意就消失无纵，不过，11月27日及30日，在台北阳明山上却出现异象，分别出现持续超过6小时及9小时的彩虹，而30日的彩虹更是虹与霓同时出现的〝双彩虹〞，令民众感叹真是难得一见的天文现象！ 彩虹通常只会出现少于1小时。27日，位于台北阳明山上的中国文化大学老师与学生记录到大彩虹，从早上的9点02分到下午3点08分，持续时间超过6小时。当时的影像是有纪录以来，第一个超过6小时的彩虹，破了世界纪录！...

Utility vehicles don't come any sturdier and more reliable than these: no anti-freeze, no petrol, no snow chains, no overheating radiator, keeps going at -40ºC and below ...

Actually there are many varieties of Canadian accent. This couple speaks with a Vancouver accent, which is similar to the West Coast American accent, the differences mainly in the way certain vowels are sounded. The Canadian prairie accent is very different, a product of early Scots migration...

I've with Sam on this. I've driven the Forester, RAV 4, Range Rover Evoque, Cayenne, Lexus RX ... they've never impressed me ... clunky, unresponsive, vague steering, lack of nimbleness – you know and you feel like you're driving a van all the time. And it gets worse on tight bends where the...

We all know that the PAP govt's immigration and foreign worker policy is big-time fucked up, but that's the fault of the PAP, not the foreign workers themselves. When these people come to our country and do the work we don't want to do and make our economy tick, the right thing to do – which is...

Get out of Singapore more often and disabuse yourself of the AMDK notion that the white man can do wrong. Have more confidence in yourselves, your culture. A civilization that has lasted 5,000 years can't be all bad, although it should continue to adopt best practices from others and evolve with...

This cartoon says it all about the collateral damage when a madman and a moron wag their ballistics: 856936016720121858

That's where you're wrong. Among the big powers, China is the only country to commit to a no-first-use (NFU) policy. The US has never committed to NFU, and the Russians ditched their NFU pledge in 1993 under Yeltsin. China has repeatedly said that their nuclear weapons are only to be used as...

First, American 'protection' is a myth. The Korean War created doubt, Vietnam put paid to it, and Iraq and Afghanistan re-affirmed it. Second, the Americans were never into the protection business, but are masters at stirring shit and starting proxy wars all over the world, as long as it is not...

Ah ... women!

Dying alone is a widespread reality in all advanced societies. Low birth rates, small family size, demise of the extended family, cohabitation supplanting marriage, high divorce rates, ageing population, medical advances increasing lifespan ... how not to die alone - and lonely? Singapore is...

And the Americas were originally Red Indian territory. And Abos once ruled over the entire Australian continent. And the entire Malay Archipelago was once upon a time Hindu and Buddhist, way before Islam was even born. And eskimos and reindeer roamed the entire world north of the Arctic Circle...
