A truly great article written by a person who is in the thick of it all. Bigotry and intolerance cannot be legislated away, the population has to choose from their own conscience to rise above it. This issue strikes at the very heart of what is wrong with the PAP's overall approach to...

On the net, it is all about making subjective choices that often make sense only to you and a few others. As for coming back as different monikers, most folk who resort to cloning cannot help but let their original personalities show through. It's a pretty amusing thing to watch -- from a distance.

I think Leongsam was trying to make the point that it does not matter if a crook provides a good forum platform that promotes constructive discussion and keeps out spam, as long as no monetary transactions are involved which might tempt the host to engage in criminal breach of trust. I tend to...

Probably a wise thing to do. If in doubt, why bother to legitimize the forum by your participation? :D

It seems you made a rather good call. I have never participated in other clone forums except for Otak and SGNEWSALT as I only trust these two. In fact I made a call for those who insist on the delphi platform to use SGNEWSALT a week ago.

Perhaps it is the other way round ;)

Your latest sentence "freak elections result? perhaps only in a dictatorial and/or fascist state would this term ever surface" makes perfect sense. I think someone remarked that in a truly functioning democracy, would any election result, whether it entrenches or removes the incumbent, be...

This is a comprehensive addition to the previous Policy Paper released by SDP entitled “Wealth and Poverty“. Introduction Economic growth in Singapore has, in recent years, benefited the few who control economic production at the expense of the masses who are forced to work harder and harder...

Thanks for providing this very essential perspective. It's something we should all remind ourselves everytime we feel tempted to put down an opposition politician for speaking poorly, having a poor command of english, or wearing slippers. E-Jay

Hmmm.... all of the above :eek: Very true. The saying is: don't fall in love with your stocks: they won't love you back. Unfortunately, the same goes for some women too :mad:

Yes, that was another gem. I would like to emphasize.... bully talk even by those without power... will also turn off the middle ground. I hope this point truly sinks into all our minds. E-Jay

The PAP is not Singapore, and Singapore is not the PAP. Enough said.

What to do. It has happened. Just close ranks and move on...

MM Lee said there is “no money politics” in Singapore. He said that in many Asian countries, money politics is simply the “code word” for buying votes to gain power, and after that is done, “to recover your expenses plus some profit for the next round of vote-buying“. (TODAY article, “Is it that...

If no opposition party is willing to step forward, then SG will become a one party state not just in spirit, but in reality. That is why Cherian George said: "Theirs is a lonely enough path; they do not need stones thrown at them."

Why should China, or any country, be free from criticism? Is China special that it should be above criticism? If the reader feels that the criticism is unfair, then rebut it point-for-point with the cold hard facts. Unfortunately the reader chose to indulge in the same rhetoric that he accuses...

You mean, emotions overrule logic? If so, that's very true. Let me give u an analogy. A man is $6,500 in the red due to a "bad trade" (pretend i'm talking about stocks, or whatever u fancy). He gets it. He gets it hard. But the story does not end. The story only ends when the man is...

LKY's govt is a bully at home, but a cowardly wimp with a typical inferiority complex abroad.

The chinese probably couldn't care less whether singapore is polishing its apples. They have better things to keep them amused.

This is a great thread. Thanks to Scroobal for writing, and thanks to all who helped put the pieces together.
