I see your point, but I personally view those thread as more like advertisements. They're not necessarily harmful, just easily ignored. Sure, they might not add much in terms of personal commentary, but they don't disrupt the flow of the forum the way a constant spammer does in every thread with...

The trend of retired SAF scholars moving directly into leadership roles in private organisations has become increasingly problematic. While they bring credentials from their military careers, their skills often fail to align with the demands of the corporate world. This misalignment is starkly...

The forum was like a hoarder’s house, once overflowing with junk that made it impossible to navigate or even step inside. Nobody wanted to visit, let alone stay, because it was suffocating and chaotic. Now that the spammer has decided to off herself and the clutter has been cleared, the space is...

It’s true that Boss & moderators were hands-off for years, but that complacency came at the cost of meaningful discussions. With the regular spammer gone, we have an opportunity to reclaim this space and make it worth engaging in again. Her absence isn’t a cure-all, but it removes a persistent...

I agree, overcrowding and the plan to accommodate a population of 10 million have fueled significant concerns, contributing to the reluctance to have babies. The bulk of this growth is expected to come from foreigners who bypass NS obligations and, in some cases, gain instant citizenship with...

"Stop at Two" policy introduced in the 70s aimed to control overpopulation during a time when Singapore was grappling with limited resources and rapid urbanization. Families were encouraged to have no more than two children through incentives for sterilization and disincentives like restricted...

Discussions about Singapore’s population strategy often shift to gender inequality and the burden of National Service (NS) on local men. These issues frequently frame the decision to have children within the context of fairness and societal expectations. Without a doubt. NS imposes tangible...

PAP continues to encourage citizens to have babies, even as it relies heavily on importing adults to fill immediate workforce needs. At first glance, this seems contradictory. If ready-made workers can meet the country’s economic demands, why push for more babies? The answer lies in the unique...

Rebuilding a space for meaningful political discussions will take time, especially after years of disruption. The chaos she caused left scars, hijacked conversations, mistrust, and a fractured community. While her departure is a relief, the effects of her antics linger, and many may hesitate to...

Singapore is tackling its aging population with two seemingly contradictory approaches: importing workers to fill immediate labor shortages and encouraging citizens to have more children to sustain long-term growth. While each policy addresses specific challenges, the combination raises...

Thanks for your reply, but I must disagree with some of your points. While words may not physically harm, they can poison a community when one person persistently manipulates and provokes others to gain attention. This is not a case of someone having a "bad day." It is a calculated and repeated...

"Freedom of choice" is an interesting perspective, but let’s not romanticize the situation. Yes, everyone has the right to make their choices, but when someone repeatedly chooses to spew vulgarities, pick fights, and loop through the same miserable narrative for years, how much "perspective"...

To everyone who’s been caught up in her ridiculous antics, it’s time to face the truth. This deranged attention-seeking parasite isn’t worth another second of your energy. She’s not here for genuine conversation or debate, she’s here to create chaos and wallow in the attention, no matter how...

I could but what for? Honestly, that sounds like a messed-up way of finding entertainment. She’s clearly unhinged, what’s the point of harassing a loony? It’s not like it’s going to change her behavior or make the forum better. All it does is drag things down further for everyone. If the key is...

Psychoanalysis of this spammer. It’s hard to ignore the circus this person has created, it feels like we’re all just playing into the hands of someone who thrives on drama, or perhaps a govt IB sent to cripple the forum. For years, she’s positioned herself a victim, constantly returning for...

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/commentary/hawker-food-price-affordable-stall-rental-rising-cost-manpower-4836616 Do Samsters willingly pay $20 for Olio Aglio but not $7 for Laksa?

For years, this forum operated as a microcosm of dysfunction, hasn’t it? It revolved around one deranged “star” who derive peculiar gratification from ridicule and abuse. She willingly placed herself in situations that invited provocation and humiliation, perpetuating a daily cycle of...

I’ve been hearing some pretty hilarious (and sad) posts from Singaporeans who thought buying property in Johor Bahru was going to be a steal. They saw the prices, thought they were getting a massive bargain with Singapore prices as the benchmark, and didn’t bother checking the fine print. Fast...

This has gone on for years because she’s been consistently provoking members out of nowhere, hoping to get a reaction. She’s been using these interactions to position herself as the victim, turning any response into further ammunition for her drama. And that’s exactly how this whole thing has...
