"Several CEC members whom this reporter spoke to on Saturday admitted that internal relations among the SPP’s leadership turned sour after the 2011 May General Election, when seven members of the party stood in two single wards — Hong Kah North and Potong Pasir — and the Bishan-Toa Payoh Group...

I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not?

Indeed. Once start paying taxes, putting kids in school, having the great outdoors as an easy "cheap" weekend getaway, working as a "minority" and learning how and when to code switch and "passing", be exposed to different kinds of idiotic and insightful channels and newspapers, then one can...

TR still thrives on rumours and trashy reporting to get eyeballs, probably to earn money from ads and whatnot. The sign outside TR still shouts "the doctor is in".

Even if they are real, so what. Singaporeans should just get their heads out of their backsides and realise that even if politicians from NSP, PAP, WP, PKMS whatever fuck around, so what. What has that got to do with political office? Unless they used political office to have benefits, like...

WP's underdog status would carry them far. People would be sympathetic towards them although they are stumbling now. Not everybody is a Low or Sylvia. Maybe Chen. The rest don't look like it.

I just love that word - ponding. Bureaucratic bullshit to flush aside a problem.

What next? Put scorpions in boots and underwear while doing obstacle course? Or wear blindfold during live shooting?

I think there is strategy in the who delivers what speech. As he is NCMP, WP gave him a good heartland puller speech on transport, health and housing issues. A winner. The other WP MPs from Aljunied so far were more on rhetoric I felt compared to Gerald's. The next guy to watch from WP would be...

Re: Amy Khor surrenders. Will not engage 'irrational' sites. How to REACH out like th Exactly. They don't like it when they can't rule the internet like they rule the papers and albeit less so, TV. I always thought CNA, and Today, have a more independent streak.

Re: The difficulty of convincing Sinkies that public protest is not always a bad thin As both protesters and police know where to draw the line. Those who stray off the route and those who disturb the peace would be arrested and that is the compact between people and police, a fair and...

This is an utter joke. Train delays, accidents and whatnot happen, especially in winter, or if you believe it, in summer too like in the tube. But 2 major incidents within this week is preposterous in Singapore. Last Friday, the East-West line was affected, 6500 commuters inconvenienced by a...

Which stall sells it here and where?

Problem with emmigration is breaking out of the comfort zone and leaving behind family and friends. And we are so used to being the majority race that when we go abroad, we realise that as foreigners and as of a different ethnic group (unless I move to China or HK than I only have to worry about...

Are there any conditions for HDB owners to hold on to HDB and yet buy private property, but stay in private property and rent out the HDB? That is the best balance of holding on to HDB while not living in it for lifestyle reasons. I only know that private property owners cannot buy a HDB flat...

Re: Dr Joseph Ong (Temasek Review) arrested for publishing polls during GE election 2 Reminded me of this news months back. http://www.asiaone.com/print/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20110819-295183.html Someone in TR is serving them on a platter to the authorities. Probably...

Semantics? To-may-toe, To-mar-toe.

He is the new darling for rights advocacy in Singapore for some Western countries it seems, besides the Chee Soon Juan group.

However as you implied, Siew Kum Hong has no access now but he might be persuaded to run for election in future. The same Faustian deal for the former SG might be in the works for the former NMP who is active in the human rights arena, which is right up Washington's pet interests and exports for...

Thanks. Found one, $80k COV for a 5-room. That is the price of a Chevy Cruze. HDB loans should be pegged to asking price, not valuation. That should be a major reform that needs to be addressed, besides the alternative of making COV illegal. There is nothing wrong per se for COV as sellers want...
