That's right, we Singaporeans loan the money to the govt at 2.5% and then they go and make from 5-17% on it. IF the investments turn bad, they just jack up the age at which we can get back our own money. The big crisis will hit if Singaporeans start to withdraw our CPF money - because of...

We have invested millions of dollars on research - you should not be surprised by this major discovery about roots! Only in Singapore could such a unique finding be made - imagine - roots growing underground! ND Award for NEA/NParks or the unsung heroes who made this discovery

Re: is malaysia the only country with affirmative action policy for it's majority rac Wow!! You have suddenly changed the policies, now Ahmad can join the armour regiment and get a SAF scholarship with his 4As!!! Amazing!!!

You forgot about Der Kaiser Beckenbauer. IIRC, this was the first ever colour TV broadcast in Singapore - went over to my uncle's place to watch it

Came across this.... Quite interesting reading although it does demonstrate the limited role that the US played..... http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB52/doc577.pdf

Re: is malaysia the only country with affirmative action policy for it's majority rac There is another nearby country that reserved special assistance plan schools, elite jobs in the military and politics, jobs in many service sectors for the majority race.....

Its pretty outrageous - considering that the MC did not even bother to correct the name. Ganesan is not that difficult a name as anyone who grew up watching the Singapore football teams of the 1970s and 1980s will know!

I was there and it was most certainly not a private affair! There were thousands of ordinary Singaporeans who walked down from Dalvey Rd where his body was lying in state. The flag was not even flown at half mast on the grounds that it was near Chinese new Year!

The other possibility is that publication will be suspended as things are changing too fast - LHL will step down immediately and return to mathematics which he declared was his first love, there will be a mad scramble for power, massive shredding (Enron style) will go on at GIC and Temasek...

Amazing! War criminal Henry Kissinger is made use of by TIME to praise our beloved Great Leader. That is a travesty. Surely they could have found someone like John McCain or even Hilary Clinton???? Published on Tuesday, June 11, 2002 in the Toronto Globe & Mail Is Henry Kissinger a War...

Thanks to the clever definition of a seizable offence, in a few months time, Singapore will have NO CRIME!!! Well done WKS!

Check out the old TV debates: Some kind soul has transcribed one of them at: http://nathanielkoh.blogspot.com/2009/04/transcript-of-1988-tv-debate-on-elected.html CST: We are saying that the purpose of the proposal is to have an Elected President with executive powers, eventually leading us...

I thought this letter was published... Interesting though that stories about stabbings in Singapore appear in the Forum page while crimes in Hong Kong, Malaysia etc appear prominently displayed in the main news sections!!

Do you really believe that the "scholars" from PRC and Vietnam have grades like that when they enter NUS??? It is only after the intense tuition and generous government grants that they manage to make the grade - see today's ST how NUS is the cheapest uni in the world for foreigners

Why in the world would anyone who believes in progress, justice and equality want praise from an 86 year old who has led a once prosperous country into ruin??? Someone who used a giant ponzi scheme to turn the country that was "propping up the sterling" in 1965 into one of the world's largest...

That is the POV of someone who is very short sighted. A long term POV like someone in a developed country sees the old Ah Ma as someone who is going to buy some coffee from him, on her day off bring her mahjong kakis to lim kopi there, to encourage her grandson to eat at the zhi zhar store...

Of course! That is the whole point. When has CSJ ever been given so much air time by the ZB and ST??? The MIW are really scared that Lina will win PP and CST/KJ dream team will win Bishan/Toa Payoh. Their only hope is to attack the credibility of Lina Chiam preferably using her own words or...

Yet another example of racism from FIFA/Sepp Blatter

Mr Chiam is by no means defeated. This is a desperate attempt by the people who used Chiam to eliminate Chee (according to GCT, it would have been difficult to silence Chee without Chiam). Now that Chiam is posing a real threat by moving to Bishan-Toa Payoh, they are trying to undermine...
