They want to follow in foot-steps of the middle eastern royalty cousins, to be the 1st in achieving many different 'firsts' in the region. But 1 thing they failed to realise is that they don't have pockets half as deep at the middle eastern sheiks. In the middle east, as long as you (citizen)...

Please wake up from your dream. Financial crisis hits us on average once in every 6-7yrs cycle. The problem of credit crunch is forever haunting the globe, because ameri-ka owe $ but can't pay up. MIW doing a good job? Doing a good job digging 1 hole to fill another hole. Making us believe...

I've been through piles of BOI during my time in national slavery, all that crap is just a waste of tax payers $, paper & time. All it takes is for the commander or CO to convene any officer within the unit to carry out the investigations. The officers are briefed to conduct the...

Be reminded that its a young & promising fit person with much potential for bright future ahead. Not to forget, his parents have invested years of upbringing to this state. And to think that some lousy miserable 1 time compensation payment inclusive of a 1 time all expenses paid ceremonial...

I think you might have gotten the math wrong somewhere. After independence, our fore fathers were told that their sacrifices will make this island a better place for their descendants & generations after they're gone. After moving from slumps to affordable housing (aka HDB), they told our...

Heart by-pass or no by-pass, the number 1 killer in SG is not all the 101 kinds of sicknesses, its the increasing cost of living + sky-rocketed medical bills that kills. The reason y the oldman & prataman can still survive, is bcos all expenses paid for by tax payers, despite their very fat...

As long as more opposition are seated in parliament, then the screwball nonsense from MIW can then be lifted with more ease. While, newer profiteering motions can be challenged & scrapped. In the ideal scenario- MIW hold 30% of seats, balance 70% distributed among the opposition. Then the...

Think you might have been confused. The LT was their PC during BMT. Which means, the PC gets to know the recruits' personal details in the dockets & servicemen interview booklet. I doubt the recruits would know his address, for if they did, he'd have been fixed a long time back & needless for...

I think there was a time when sgoon gdn was a single ward. Later, fell under Thomson-Braddell GRC, then later Marine Parade GRC, and then lately Aljunied GRC. Not sure if there was ever any contenders along the time line, except for the recent contest from WP (with the closest margin...

Comparing the 2, president OTC did a lot more than prataman. Apart from playing as puppet host to foreign delegates, he also pushed the arts & culture scene for SG. He was also bold enough to challenge the LEEgime system, while he was still in office. Sadly, like many before him, he fell ill and...

They will have a reality game show contest for people to auditionto be the 'singapore mourner', and then the finalists will be mourning at the wake, to dramatise the whole event. Then our poor NS boys will be given funeral guard duty, then every morning 0800hours will have a changing of guards...

Its a confession to say that they bought the fleet in name-sake, but doesn't really have a system to materialise the things they say. And since the WAB buses cost more, passengers are paying more.

They might even issue mourning tags or mourner's black armbands to the all institutions/schools/uniformed/civil sectors, order everyone to wear them for the entire duration. No surprises, because this island is very good at wayang.

They can't do it yet, because LTA hasn't quite figured out which license category wheelchairs belong to. If they allowed wheelchairs on the roads, they'd be booked all the time for road hogging. LTA also hasn't found a good spot to mount the cashcard unit on the wheelchairs.

Public transportation means its for the general public, which means handicapped people are also entitled to commute. The recent increas of ERP gantries have indirectly forced many motorists to give up their cars, and adopt public transportation. As a resulte, the buses and trains these days...

I think JBJ's passing should serve as a pivotal moment in our island's history for a change in tides. In the recent years, several senior or pioneering politician have each been called to their final resting place, and we know the old idealist is from the same cohort. The recent course of...

His wake will be by invitation only. Only those from the sikit-atas societies will be invited. They could be paranoid that there will be gate crashers or riots, so the riot police and gurkhas contingent would be ordered to be ushers at the istana or "durian". There will also be over-qualified...

Its utter rubbish that the NSF would be so garang not to endorse the MC, especially if its from the hospital-SGH. Medical status from any hospital would be deemed as the sacred talisman against physical training for any soldier. It's against the norm for NSF to give up ATT-B or ATT-C status for...

This island's resource are imported from all corners of the world. Surely AVA's testing has certain tolerance level for passing contamination levels in the foods that enter our country. So, what doesn't kill us in an instance is not guaranteed that it will not kill us when accumulated over long...

I think it'd be a sure bet that the funeral for the late freedom fighter- JBJ will be a gigantic turn up. Attended by admirers for his passion for democracy, people who've been moved by his determination & dedication to the cause. As for the old man's, probably attended by people who're being...
