My American expat friend after his first month here said that he was shocked to find that all Singaporeans do is eat, shop and fuck. The vast majority have not progressed beyond the bottom two levels of Maslow's Hierarchy. That's why the PAP gets 69.9% of the vote.

Died? I thought he just left the forum.

Jack Ma once said that he regretted going ahead with the Alibaba IPO because now he didn't have any time left for himself. People thought it was said tongue-in-cheek, but he was dead serious. Jack is not your ordinary PRC Chinese. He believes in social responsibility and using his clout to...

Understandable. Where he comes, human tits are rare. This chap's spent his entire life fucking sheep and milking cow's tits, for crying out loud. Seriously speaking, the way chow ang mohs behave the world over is a legacy of both white and male privilege. When the locals don't stand up to them...

What Jack Ma was saying is that when faced with increased responsibility and accountability, you cease to enjoy the ordinary pleasures in life. An ordinary person might find happiness in earning a million dollars or two a month, but when you make more than a billion dollars a month, it's a kind...

Recommended reading – The Argumentative Indian by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen. --------------------------------- The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity by Amartya Sen This needs saying at the outset. In itself, it might seem like an unremarkable fact, but...

You're right about the whore putting pressure on the kid. Hongyi has professed little interest in politics but those around him know that he'll eventually do his parents' bidding. He's already showing traits of the 'little emperor' - wont to push his weight around, little thought for others...

59. Yes, Rafflesian. And an inveterate mahjong player at KEVII Hall.

No one is talking about changing the size of the country. It's about changing mindsets, and the regime. You're the typical Sinkie who have been suckered into the PAP's GDP myth - continuous growth & expansion is needed for prosperity and happiness. Just so, some of the happiest and wealthiest...

The reasons for our low birth rates are clear to the policy makers: high cost of living, high education cost (after factoring in private tuition cost), long working hours, stagnant wages putting pressure on family size, inadequate social and family policies. Likewise the solutions – more paid...

It's a myth that importing foreigners increases the fertility rate. Most of these foreigners come with families in tow. What's more insidious is that importing middle-aged PMETS in large numbers actually aggravates – not alleviates – the aging population problem further down the road, as...

China racing for AI military edge over the US: Report PUBLISHED 10 HOURS AGO US think-tank paper issues warning even as Alphabet chairman delivers similar message WASHINGTON • A research arm of the United States intelligence community just wrapped up a competition to see who could develop the...

Yeoh is more knowledgeable. But both – coming from different angles – are right. Yeoh was saying that our fiscal surpluses are kept artificially very high, that our current social and infrastructural spending is way below OECD norms, and that tax increases are not needed at present to raise...

Don't twist my words. My stand: 1. The ability to change is dependent on how big or small you are. 2. You said in response to my description of you as defeatist: It's the fact that sinkieland is a tiny dot. I assume that you meant that size mattered, in which case you are contradicting...

Read again; I didn't. Hard to wake up the dumb 70%, but still easier to do so in a tiny dot than in a big country. Which is easier: changing 70% of 5.5 mil, or 70% of 1.3 bil?

A tiny dot actually makes change easier, not harder. Try changing India or China. It's waking up a doped electorate that's the hard part.

He couldn't make it even as a surgeon in SGH. Always fucks up the big cases like liver resection with high complication rates and still insists on doing them. His quick temper and profanities are well-known in the OT. Once when he was doing a partial hepatectomy he was mucking around so much...

Disagree. It does matter who you vote. Question is how to get enough people to make the sensible vote to overthrow the regime. It's the defeatist mentality of Sinkies like you who think that 'vote don't matter, PAP always win' that drags down the other 30%.
