Thanks for the valuable insight. Only heard about the Japanese occupation and it is usually at the end of a meal when as a kid had to be coaxed into finishing the last few mouthfuls of rice. No riots occurred in SG in my lifetime. Those who can't wait for or not sure which way things...

Old man was dealing with a different kind of population. Now, with so many Sinkies being graduates, they should be able to also insist that the referendum questions be properly framed into simple yes or no. If they dont' have the balls to do that, then they have to live with the consequences of...

Typical SINKIE loser mentality. If Madam V had this mentality, she would not have challenged your PeeM on the by-election issue. Even though the High Court ruled against her on the question of whether or not your PeeM has absolute discretion in calling one, a by-election was called not for legal...

Referendum! There have been calls on the Internet for a referendum for citizens to either endorse or reject the population target of 6.9 million stated in the Government’s White Paper. If the Government refuses to hold a referendum, can ordinary citizens challenge it? YES. The Constitution...

Wow, cocky PAP IB purports to speak on behalf of all Singaporeans! You should have said PAP Leegime hates the British, for showing the world how a real Westminster democracy should work and uploading it on Youtube! Armies are for war and Parliaments are for debating national issues. Like...

This is a video of John Bercow’s re-election as Speaker on 18th May 2010. Something for Madam Halimah Yacob to chew upon – the importance of impartiality and her role as “champion of the backbenchers”. I don’t believe any of the Speakers during the Deaf-Mute PAP-dominated Parliaments have...

From Wikipedia: "The Speaker, by convention, severs all ties with his or her political party, as it is considered essential that the Speaker be seen as an impartial presiding officer. In many cases, individuals have served in ministerial or other political positions before being elected...

You are the daft one here. The slogan was "TOWARDS a 1st World Parliament". http://theonlinecitizen.com/2011/05/lets-strive-towards-a-first-world-parliament-wp/ Why is the distinction important? Because in Parliament, it is majority rules. The message is not "we are able to automatically turn...

Re: BE: What is at Stake? Preservation of Multiculturalism or Increased Racial Chauvi Let's be sensible and compare and contrast the difference between how the Yaw saga and the Palmer saga played out. State propaganda machine sent their doggies to camp out in front of poor Yaw's residence...

It's not WP's 1st World Parliament you twit. Just in case you're not aware this Parliament has 81 PAP MPs and 8 WP MPs. Don't forget that Parliamentary rules and regulations are set by the PAP when there were only one or two Oppo MPs and designed to impede rather than facilitate scrutiny...

Re: BE: What is at Stake? Preservation of Multiculturalism or Increased Racial Chauvi Another PAP scarce tactic. While I agreed with you that WP could have done more with 8 MPs when PAP only had 4 in the 1950s, one has to bear in mind that the WP has to deal with PA owned by PAP but funded...

Well said. One need only look at the debates in 1955 on the 2nd and 3rd readings for the Preservation of Public Security Bill (the future ISA) at...

Please don't get so touchy. I wasn't even suggesting that it was you. I detect the presence of Steffychun, a well known PAP IB, here. It is just possible that the scenario is this: somebody raises IMF and KJ as an example of a national issue, which indeed it is; PAP IB picks this up and chips...

Strange indeed. I wake up to find that this thread has morphed into one about KJ and his IMF saga. Am I being paranoid or are the PAP IBs gunning for KJ so that he will take away some votes which might otherwise have gone to the only Opposition party that stands a chance of winning in this...

Well, I can tell you for a fact that many PRC entrepreneurs immediately apply for a foreign passport the moment they lay their hands on their IPO wealth. There are how many Singaporeans living and working abroad? Estimated at 200,000. And someone who was present at the scene told me that Pinky...

Well said. I'll second that. Please also see my latest thread: http://www.sammyboy.com/showthread.php?141003-The-role-of-an-MP-National-AND-Local-issues! Hint, hint, time now is 4.27 pm Singapore, 8.27 am London. Somebody else is still in the dock.

13th January 2013 - Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Paris over plans to give gay couples in France the right to marry and adopt children. Three big marches were converging on the Champs de Mars, next to the Eiffel Tower. France's Socialist government is planning to...

I wanna be me. Who is WW? Now is 3.48 pm Singapore time, 7.48 am London time. Somebody else is still in the dock.

Anyone who is still interested in hearing from Pinnochio, please watch his video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awcnepZugEY

“Local issues” vs “National issues”, sounds familiar. PAP trying to hoodwink and deceive peasants again about the true role of an MP in a Westminster style democracy. If you believe Pinocchio Teo in the second video, you will walk away with the mistaken belief that an MP’s job is to help...
