In those days, you are considered well-to-do if you earned $100 a month.

Re: Question for Coca Cola S'pore- Why you airlift free Coke to FT construction worke Congratulations, your brainwashing is complete. There will always be people who lack the skills to perform higher-level jobs. It may surprise you that there are many people who may not aspire to become rich...

Re: Question for Coca Cola S'pore- Why you airlift free Coke to FT construction worke This episode shows one very important fact. In most other countries, companies like Coca-Cola will be targeting the locals as that is their market segment. It will also buy them some goodwill as they are seen...

Epic. SGreans thanking foreigners for stealing their jobs. If they stopped to think for a bit, they would realise that these jobs could have gone to those SGreans who are not academically inclined, provided that the work conditions must be made much better. It simply shows that SGreans are...

Think the above image needs updating.

Re: Philippine Independence Day Celebration To Be Held on 8 June 2014 at Ngee Ann Cit The m&d on my face is soil. Our soil. - SAF advertisement slogan Maybe they should put in the fine print that the soil (whatever that is left of it that is available to the peasants) also needs to be shared...

It is SGreans that are weak. Why do you think the PAP has managed to stay in power for so long? They do not have the slightest clue of self-defence, hence all that NS bullshit is useless. To be able to defend yourself, you must not fear confrontation or getting hurt. Self-defence is not about...

LOL. No wonder a certain someone will only trust Gurkhas to guard his life. I think a terrorist attack may be imminent soon, judging by the competency of the Home Team. Western Embassies in SG better step up their security. Best to avoid places frequented by angmos.

Confucianism caused the decline of Asian cultures. Constant challenging of authority combined with the free flow of ideas and opinions is the proven best method of ensuring absolute power does not corrupt absolutely.

Shit, already travelled on Downtown line a few times. No more Downtown line for me.

Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting inspite of it. How can there be courage when the most important thing is to cover your backside so you don't get the blame from those above you?

True leaders are never afraid to take responsibility when things go wrong. Where does the buck stop? Would you have faith in someone who keeps denying the existence of issues rather than acknowledging them, apologising and taking responsibility for them? The atmosphere in SG is sick...

This is the main reason why I lost faith in the NS system. Any other country, even without NS, would have lynched all the ministers when they see their country overrun with foreigners. SG has been invaded without a single bullet being fired.

Most inspiring, I think I am converted. Where do I sign up? Quite a few chiobus there too. PS. Was Serena there as well?

When I visit other countries as a tourist, the Customs officer will ask me where I am staying and how much money I have to support myself for the period of stay. I guess SG government thinks USD1200 for food and accommodation can easily last for a couple months in SG. That must also include...

Two words: Morale problem. The situation in SG is such that the people performing the ground work and the immediate people supervising them always get the blame when things go wrong but get little credit when things go right. What happens then is that the people on the ground become more...

But if they have so much responsibilities, why are there still so many MPs who can do their jobs on a part-time basis? In NZ, there is a separate local body election to elect a mayor and councillors for the town council. My feeling is that there is a need to cut down the number of MPs and...

Looks like they do not need to protect the identity of the victims in naming the teacher if he is male.

I am not so sure about that, there are still many unsavoury aspects of Chinese culture that impede its elevation.

Would they have been able to do all these now without the accumulation of technical knowledge from the past decades of space exploration? I can understand people not liking the Chinese but to make fun of them in everything only makes me more convinced that such pettiness is the harbinger for the...
