Or they will say loss of income from TV adverts, then have to increase bus fares.... Most likely increase bus fares again soon.

Obviously, no Singaporean has ever won a Nobel Prize, else it would have been plastered all over Straits Times already. However, you might be pleased to know that a Singaporean has ever won a Ig Nobel Prize. Our beloved former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.... for Psychology in 1994.

Yes, they do. One of this year's winner for the Physics Nobel is Charles Kao who grew up in HK and currently resides in HK holding HK citizenship. He was the vice-chancellor of CUHK. So there you go.

Its common knowledge in the unis that MOE doesn't really care what those PRC students on MOE scholarships do after they graduate. A few years ago, a PRC student told me that MOE goes to China every year and selects 500 students each year for MOE scholarships and half will go to NTU and half to...

Correction. He never worked for Bell Labs. He did his breakthrough work at STL(now Nortel) in the UK and then went on to work for ITT in the US.

I think the biggest mistake he made was to convert to Singapore citizenship. Otherwise, it would have been another Singaporean that got the sack and not him.

1. using bluetooth to charge phone batteries is impossible. bluetooth is a communications standard, fullstop. Wireless charging uses electrical induction to charge batteries. (yes, its possible to charge battery wirelessly, but the technology is not mature yet) 2. His FYP is on computer vision...

So I guess you are excessively naive then. You must be thinking real hard when you believe Ho Ching can be appointed even if LHL is uncomfortable with it.

One, we don't really know how much she earns, or if there is any cap on that. Even if there is a cap, its in the millions of dollars. Two, she didn't lose millions of dollars. She lost BILLIONS... Three, yeah rite.... I'm sure Danabalan suggested the post. Come on, LHL is not going to...

I'm afraid the singapore courts does not recognize pre-nups, mate.

I think the best line of action is to make sure that this nonsense doesn't happen again. 1. Report to CPIB and charge Josie and co. with CBT. Make sure they don't come out and make trouble again. 2. Charge Derek Hong with sedition. Activating a congregation to takeover a secular...

Old AWARE played religious card ? Ha..... Whos the fella that made use of the pulpit to orchestrate the takeover of a secular organization ? What next ? Take over some LGBT group to psycho them that they are all sick ? I think the only sick people are those from COOS. Wanting to help women...

Someone should start a petition to ask John Chew which is the Anglican Archbishop for the province of south east asia to expel COOS from the Anglican Communion and to excommunicate Pastor Hong along with Feminist Mentor along with all her pussies for bringing disrepute to the Church.

I'm guessing you mean the fellas from A*STAR. Most of them are not even in the computer graphics field. They probably found out that SIGGRAPH Asia is a big event and it will be a big KPI if they can get it.

Hmmm... Singapore's economy must be doing really well.. Need two SMs to cut ribbons...

I doubt it. One - the professor had no motivation to stab the student. He is not a newbie prof, he has probably seen his fair share of lousy students. 1. NTU does not necessarily have to announce the results before a student knows he's gonna fail his FYP. You see your supervisor buay song u...

Then he is in deep shit. The shares are still falling and probably will continue to fall. When the fed injected 85 billion into AIG to take a 80% stake, shareholder's value are wiped out. But then again, what is 2-3 million to Oei ? Just pocket change.

That's indeed difficult to compare. 40K quid is not like 40K SGD for sure. For the same position, even if you get 50K SGD in SG, you wun get 50K quid in UK for sure, more likely 30+ quid only. Moreover, tax is UK is pretty high. For those earning even up to 80K SGD, you can pay less than 2%...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I beg to differ. Firstly, you probably can't claim child benefits if you are on work permit as child benefits is classified under public funds, and your visa is for no recourse to public funds. If you claim child benefits or child tax credits, you might be in...
