As usual, fighting yesterday news in order to distract people from the recession and bad economy is part of the usual tactics deployed by LKY. Its a sham really. I mean, instead of tackling this crisis, LKY is trying to put yesterday's wars in the spotlight when other people are suffering...

First up, the aging population, and dismal birth rate does mean that yes, Singapore has to look to the world, and encourage some immigrants to consider Singapore as a long term destination, and even as a permanent place to stay and have a family here. That is understandable, because to turn...

They have been happily using recent elections in recent times to focus on innocuous issues like upgrading, MRT, and of course, Tang Liang Hong & James Gomez, using this issues as an excuse for distracting people from the main issues and to put the fear of God into people, so that people will be...

Its as if they think all three "solutions" they can come out with- for the past decade or so(or even longer than that)- will solve our problems. The recessions we all have faced and now facing simply comes down to one thing: export- driven growth, because of excessive consumption by Americans...

Re: SAF Officers said die die must bring back a sick reservist back to camp! Law by l Some of the officers think that since they are officers, even if they aren't medically trained as doctors, they think their medical knowledge is superior to those who have been medically trained. They...

Almost every country is facing a recession, or in one. But there's a difference in the way how each country differs in being how deep or how shallow one is in a recession. The PAP did three things that made us very prone to a recession. 1. Export-driven growth via exports to the US. 2...

There's a thing called "tactical". Even if one wants to find a place and time to sleep, at least don't do it like this warden. Its got to do with nothing about WKS; that at that time happened in a different context and therefore we have to view that in that context.

Let us get over this recession first before we speculate whether he gets cheered by the plaudits. After all, he's got this AIG bonus mess to handle now. Its not just a PR flap; to play it down as just an PR flap would be a very big mistake right now. Besides, being a pol means you also need...

Okay, but President Obama manages a trillion-dollar budget and a US$700b bailout and he gets paid less than 1% in his annual paycheck as the most powerful human on earth. How's that in comparison? Btw public service is very unlike like being a CEO. A CEO's only interest is to address the goals...

You forget that this isn't about bonds and stock investments. Its about the issue of using taxpayers money as her own for her own shopping spree in Wall Street, without any regulations. And as for stocks and bonds, you forget that unlike governments- most anyway- companies can go bankrupt...

The point here isn't investments in Citibank; its about the criminal abuse of trust and authority that was given by the people to the government in the management of taxpayers funds. In other countries, such abuse would have invited the independent judiciary to invite prosecutors to find such...

I would have accepted her point of view if she was using her own private money. So if she knew the risks, and still put in her money, win or lose, its her money, and its her business. Its self-responsibility. But then the money she was entrusted with wasn't hers to spend as she liked. It...

Hey, if she thinks if neighbourhood students are all of that, then why don't she consider the fact that some of us are actually studying overseas in good universities? I think its all about perspectives and how one is brought up, with what type of attitude. Clearly I think she's been living...

I usually find pretty girls who are also educated to be infinitely more sexier than those who are sexy outside, but not substantial inside. I mean, if some people find people like Paris Hilton sexy, because of her infamous airheadness, I mean go ahead. But I prefer girls who are lovely...

Well, when one's broke, who will want a baby? If LKY can't even figure that out, I don't know what else can we say about him.

Singapore has nothing much to report then, in light of the daily depressing economical news. :eek::rolleyes:

"I worry if there's excessive retrenchment numbers and high unemployment among local citizens during good and bad times. If its too high, it means that economically, in the long term, we are worse off, even during good times now."- Me, metaphorically speaking.

We don't even know whether they like Dunhill clothes that come from Paris or clothes from Hang Ten... ;) *tongue-in-cheek*

I think the point is that we shouldn't be so kapoh until some of us gonna stare at them, and violate their sense of privacy. Even in clothing-optional beaches, staring is considered rude. The key here is respecting other people's zone of privacy, and its clear these leery men didn't. What she...

To them, they think of as a blood sport. They like it so much, they are almost here 24/7.
