By the way, many SG family can easily factually claim that once upon a time , their father, or father's father ,or father's father's father was PRC too. [/COLOR] Old Plaza, you sound like a man with many issues. Either that or you are a PAP sympathiser. However, just to set the record...

In my opinion, Singapore has lost out on the oppportunity to embrace multiculturalism and enter the 21st century. All over the developed world, their populations are becoming more diverse, and their societies are benefitting greatly from the cultural melting pot of people from Europe, Asia...

Good luck! And all the best in your new life.

Just apply for deferment from your unit. Without the deferment, the exit permit cannot be processed. The same thing happened to me years ago. Write to your commanding officer and provide a copy of your PR visa. Tell him that you are leaving (attach photocopy of your airticket) no matter...

This is my question: If I enter Singapore on a foreign passport, will immigration know that I'm also a Singapore citizen if I don't tell them?

PRC spies are all over the world, less to monitor their overseas citizens, but more to influence economic policy in their favour. They infiltrate the ranks of major international commodity companies, then try to initiate buyovers so that they can get a controlling stake. Then they will deflate...

Congratulations on your new life and securing a foreign passport for your son. From what I know, you need to register your son for NS and apply for deferment until he's 21. Do not at anytime renew his singapore passport or it will throw your plans into whack. When he reaches 21, get him...

Re: CCB MIW NEWS: First FireBomb MP, Now 17 Year Old Boy Throws Chair. Our MPs Got No How can a mother and son survive on $400 a month? And at 17, a boy should be in school so that he can get a skill which will pull him out of the poverty trap. He should not be working to support the...

Jehovah's Witness is a religion. It is an offshoot of the Christian faith. To the best of my knowledge, it has been defined as a cult in Singapore because of their opposition to bearing arms.

No, it's not all right for heterosexual teachers to hit on students while they are still in school. A 24 year old teacher can have a relationship with his 18 year old student once she leaves school. No problems with that. But a gay teacher might send the wrong message to the students. We...

so sack gays from teaching positions? ban gays from teaching kids?

I don't really care if people are gay. Some of my good friends, and many of the people I work with are gay. They can fuck sheep for all I care, but their sexuality becomes an issue for me when they try to promote it to others. It is then that I absolutely cannot stand it. If what the old...

In all this Gay/AWARE hoopla, has anyone wondered how many teachers in Singapore schools are gay? I had an ECA teacher who was gay when I was 13 and he was hitting on me, calling me up and asking improper things on the phone. How would you feel if your child's teacher is gay?

Don't confuse the pay of a CEO of a private company and the pay of a political leader. The CEO is meant to make profit. The political leader is answering a calling to lead. Honestly, LHL's salary is way too outrageous and sickening, especially considering he has no leadership foresight...

I can understand your position and I appreciate the financial demands of running a business - I run one myself. However, I wouldn't hold it against a Singaporean waiter if he didn't want to do kitchen work, and if the kitchen help doesn't want to collect cash. That's not their job, and...

This is a unique situation for sociologists to study. Usually, when you go to a new society, you learn to speak their lingo, learn their customs etc. When in Rome, do as the Romans... right? Eg, even Ang Moh's who have lived long enuf in sg speak with the lah's. So why is it then that...

Exactly. I wonder how many NS boys are frustrated and upset that they have to fight for a government which they have no say in choosing.

At the age of 18, you are legally able to sign a lifetime bond, drink alcohol, and put your life on the life for your country by serving national service. Yet you are not able to vote for the government you want for your country. Has anyone every brought this up to their MP that the voting...

That's an interesting conundrum... at 18 you can serve your nation, sign your life away to be bonded, but you can't vote for the government you want.

St Pats was a field hospital during the Japanese siege of Singapore. A lot of allied casualties were brought there for treatment. During the occupation, it was the Japanese air command HQ for their airforces in SEA.
