Once I tried something like that at a ngoh hiong hawker stall, with a couple of other fried items and beehoon. The price, $7. Never again. I'd rather eat pork chop or chicken chop for cheaper than that. Chinese ngoh hiong and Indian rojak stalls are rip-offs. Same experience happened with...

The problem with lion dance isn't just noise pollution. It's also superstition. All lion dance troupes pray and burn joss and incense as part of the ritual. That's why you see mostly ah bengs looking like gangsters. Who says a MD or PhD, even just BA or MSc, can't be a gangster and...

I'm not a big fan of Chinese but must point this out. When you talk about Jews and listing a long list of Jewish Nobel laureattes, suddenly they're neither Americans nor Europeans, simply Jews. You switch between ethnicity and nationality for convenience of your argument. Only fools would be...

For once, I agree with GMS. Ramseth is using distraction tactic and other WP members are using silence and forget it. I say that's a matter of forget it not. YSL and WP members should deny or clarify. We're talking about an MP here. I think it not unreasonable to expect him and his members to...

That's not metaphysics. That's superstition.

From observation in public, Malay kids in Singapore are the best behaved. Naughty and bouncy by kid's nature but still best behaved and most compliant to adult instruction. Indian kids are the worst, followed closely by Chinese kids. Both breeds of brats tend to behave in public as if their...

On the surface, the PAP appointed committee proposal looks like a substantial readjustment towards civic reality but the part about 14.5 months bonus is ridiculous and defeats the whole purpose. I think the WP proposal part on the capping the bonus at 5 months is already sufficiently generous...

You Chinese are hopeless and ruthless. Why eat dog or rabbit? There're plenty of other meats around.

This CNY is no different for us than other CNY. My wife stocked up lots of foods for my MIL to cook, just like Chinese reunion dinners. The supermarkets, hawker centres and coffeeshops are all closed except for Muslim foodstalls and fast food joints. We're not used to Muslim dishes because most...

Can't blame the northern Chinese. When China was in trouble, who fled to form the oversea Chinese disapora? Mostly southern Chinese, the Cantonese, the Teochew and the Hokkien. Who remained behind to fight or die in China? Mostly northern Chinese. This was told to me by a Chinese when I was...

I tried that once many years ago when a Chinese former colleague hosted a dinner there to celebrate striking 4D. I think it's a bit oily too but it tastes good, going very well with whisky. He seems to know the boss well enough to be allowed BYOB without corkage.

It represents the Chinese value of superstition that when there're festive seasons, there must be noise pollution. The lion dancers collect red packets, i.e. salesmen of superstition in the name of tradition. In their spare time, i.e. most of the time, they're gangsters looking for fights.

I don't look down on any race, I only comment on inconsiderate, anti-social and superstitious behaviors. You're not only racist, you're also sexist. One side is Eurasian and the other side is Chinese. Just because the Chinese side is the man, you have the urge to show me to prove something...

I didn't catch that part too. Why 5x? If CSM could come out with a formula like say, pegging to average non-ministerial MP income inclusive of income from private profession, then up a notch for ministers, that'd be better and more convincing.

What's wrong with Eurasian babe marrying Chinese dude?

Singapore Parliament has about 100 members. British Parliament has more than 600 members.

It couldn't have been started by me since I don't partake in a dish with a circus of supertitious clowns tossing food into a mess and shouting superstitious mantras. I abide by the principle that it's their business as long as they don't bother me, unlike burning incense in public without any...

Blame the Chinese for inventing the myth.

Better than Chinese. Malays don't go on the run. If they couldn't afford to repay, they'd face up with all kinds groans and excuses. Groans and excuses these are, but better than Chinese. If you lend them money to Chinese one time, you won't see them the next time if they can't afford to repay.
