Nah, I think he was referring to frozen ones which can be put in the oven and be cooked in minutes. In that case, those are available almost everywhere in the island. The only difference is that there's different brands, and hence different quality in taste and different prices. Frozen fish...

Oh c'mon, how many times can one from SG come down to Fremantle, Perth, to eat fish and chips? Even I here, don't go to Fremantle everyday. To say that we shouldn't eat fish and chips everyday is right: that's because we don't. After all, our main staple is still rice and other asian...

I usually skip those articles really, and in any time- which is rare- that I'm actually bothered, I usually end up pretty skeptical. I mean that there's a difference when Time magazine or NYT profiles a guy who has really made it- let it be as a social entrepreneur, or as a doctor- than those...

Well, maybe..but its a Windows 95 PC pretending to be XP/Vista. ;)

I must try and persuade some of my friends to join me for fish and chips during the two weeks Easter(autumn) break- before we fly off to Melbourne for a well-deserved rest from school and work. :cool:

Could anyone PM me the address? Fremantle is just next door...a straight bus ride there. :P

That's not good for the economy in the long run. In other countries, the economy thrives when there are many viable businesses operating around, and being profitable. That's why while they have a strong economic foundation in which they will be able to post steady strong, stable growth, ours is...

If Sweden can encourage its own people to educate themselves to speak more than 5 languages: Swedish, German, Danish, English..(perhaps Finnish or something else), and do it such a way that they can do that from a very early age, I don't see why Singapore can't do it, and retain their various...

We have a Parliamentary system, so the head of government and the head of state are served by two different people. Even the likes of India, Australia, Japan, Sweden and the UK all have such a system. The point is that while the head of state ranks symbolically above the head of government...

If you just wanted to say that you want a Noah's Ark establishment as your government, then just state it as it is, Cas888. You don't have to resort to such 'reasoning', and make us look like we were born yesterday.

We are either resigned, or tired, perhaps scared or just politically apathetic. But we know that the government isn't getting anywhere somehow. Its just a feeling.

The problem is that if they keep on jacking up the rental rates after a few months for thriving businesses, and these businesses shut down after a while, how can they make money? Most thriving centres of enterprise, including food outlets, in other countries are doing so well, because the...

That'd be sad. Singaporeans don't earn so much that they can go and eat Ben's and Jerry's, Swensen(sp) and other more expensive western-type ice cream everyday. These folks should be allowed, within a set of more realistic regulations to keep on selling and being self-employed. They are...

I'd have preferred a limited exercise in nationalising the banks in America, although Obama has little choice in finding a solution that the private sector is comfortable with, and which his Republican opponents would feel less discomforted about. In the end though, its not Obama who created...

$1500 for a new uni graduate seems pretty pathetic. Even a poly diploma grad can just as much once she's out of the poly and working- without a degree.

I'm sure that in a mature society which is able to balance a few languages and dialects should be able to do so, without hindrance. That's why the demonising of dialects of all the four main languages- at least those which have dialects- has been unhelpful. And I think its sad, because we...

The government certainly does know how to behave as an ostrich does when danger comes. I mean do they not realise that economic growth due to excessive influx of foreigners only contribute more to inflation and inflationary growth, economical 'growth' that is not firm in its foundations...

I don't support your policy, for the record. What I meant was that we need to seek a balance between the local population, and outside immigrants, without resorting to xenophobic/protectionist reasons & behaviour. Until we have a quota system, the status quo policy isn't going to help this...

Any country who tries to discriminates on its own women on basis of their gender will only retard its own progress. Hence this is no excuse. Part of what makes a democratic country democratic is respecting every citizen's four/five rights, and one of them is the right to privacy. To interfere...

That would just be sexist, honestly and I can't support such a policy that discriminates people on reasons, especially of personal reasons. You can't force love, period.
