Physical shortages of gold have been occurring for some time now, but the price action does not seem to reflect that. It seems retail investors are hoarding up the metal while institutional investors are selling tons of paper. The latter situation is reflected in the decline in open interest in...

The entire Gao Ning/LBW event exposes many hidden cracks, questionable practices, and lack of transparency. To push the entire blame to LBW, and then for LBW to come out openly to apologize for it all, and the for Viv. B. to say lets move on, is just their way to shunting all the undercurrents...

Zhihau, our nation did not start off lacking soul. That generation embraced the rising tide of nationalism that spread across Asia after World War II. Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore were all embroiled in the communist insurgency. That generation was definitely not politically apathetic. But...

I feel no one has the right to claim whether Yap is or is not a supporter. That is something only Yap can answer for himself, and only he will know the extent of his sincerity. E-Jay

Yes, sis LaMei. SDP members, its supporters, as well as all the active citizenry that are close to them, whether partisan or non-partisan, tend to be DO-ers rather than mere talkers. You are certainly a 100% do-er, as is Tilik, and the rest of the 18 charged, including uncle yap. For me, I am...

Yes, thanks to Porfirio Rubirosa for pointing out that the thread starter is Scroobal and not F4. Melvin Tan: "Two people say the same thing, but only one is right." In this case, I merely agreed with Scroobal. But now, Uncle Yap is the hero and we are the villian.

Dear Scroobal, I didn't want to further this thread, but I have to point out that SDP has already stated very categorically, in its website, that Yap Keng Ho is not part of the protest AS HE DID NOT WEAR THE PROTEST T-SHIRT, unlike the 18 others who did. Whether he is a "supporter" or "not a...

Sylvia Lim's speech is an excellent one. Though I do find it slightly contradictory for her to agree with PM Lee that GRC teams are elected not necessarily based on any one member, whilst at the same time lambasting the GRC system for providing cover for newbies which the PAP wants to push into...

NCMP Sylvia Lim made a speech in Parliament on Wed 27 Aug on the issue of by-elections and GRCs. She said that she was unable to support the motion tabled by Nominated MPs Thio Li-Ann and Loo Choon Yoong for amendments to the Parliamentary Elections Act because this motion sought to entrench...

In a deplorable attempt at curbing freedom of speech on the internet and silencing dissent against the Government, the Malaysian authorities have blocked access to the popular political website, Malaysia-today.net. Malaysia-today.net was the first website to publish the leaked medical report...

I think Mr Gan should pay careful attention to what Sylvia Lim was saying. She was referring to wages at the lower end of the pay scale, not to overall wages. Mr Gan also claimed that during a recession, foreign workers would be retrenched faster than Singaporean workers, but his claim has yet...

True, questions can and will always be asked. But the law minister and AG seem hell bent on legitimizing such speculation. Is there a need to? I don't think so. E-Jay

Bless you, Madcow Goh. May your heart be at peace. E-Jay

Again, at the risk of being repetitious, I agree fully.

Dear Goh Meng Seng, It is painfully and excruciatingly obvious you do not even come close to grasping what TiLik was trying to say. Don't worry, neither did I. But my Empress explained, and my mind was wholesomely enriched with its meaning. As for you, tomorrow I'll give you another 2 bonus...

Not quite true. For example, I do not know Scroobal in real life, and probably never will. I tried to send a private email him in the old sammyboy forum, but he said he was a public figure, and wanted to be totally anonymous.

Law Minister K. Shanmugam has reiterated a stand made previously by Attorney-General Walter Woon that “not guilty in law” does not mean “innocent”. In other words, a person may not be factually innocent even if the law acquits him. My immediate comment is: What is the point of reiterating and...

Thank you so much for scanning this newspaper clipping of Lily neo. I will be posted this on Sgpolitics.net tonight. Lily neo is a very beautiful lady, both within and without. According to my archives, Lily neo has asked questions in parliament relating to economic hardship and inflation...

I'm sure the PAP will try to leverage on Anwar's good showing to squeeze something out of the ruling BN, if they can still rule after his victory that is. It can get a bit complicated.

Very well put indeed :)
