For land scarce Singapore and xenophobic reasons, I have no idea why foreigners can buy landed properties. Moreover, the limit to the size of the property is quite huge, 15,000 sq ft and they can buy FH or LH, adding salt to the wound. Not only should there be a quota on number of approvals...

$60k COV? Which area? Almost like buying a new car! Give it time with Europe and USA still uncertain, assuming you can wait for a resale. With new $10k ceiling for new flats, sellers will slowly feel that they cannot command anyhow asking price anymore.

Anyway, Francis Seow a smart guy was supposedly recruited anyway by the Americans, so there are always the right sort of spies to win over these high fliers. Siew Kum Hong is the right man in the right places, and he was probably approached by Americans, the locals and whoever already. Whether...

So the key still seems to be LKY. Once he is gone, they might relook into gradual employment of Gurkhas into security industry. Probably Aetos or Cisco first. Separately, not sure if there are private security companies (not security guards but those who provide armed security for ships and...

The queen chio! Or maybe super make-over.

KJ and RP are political finished. NSP and SDP might challenge WP for Western areas, but it is too early to tell for now. WP more interested in consolidating in Aljunied although they have the best chances of taking another GRC.

An excellent chance for him to show what he is made of. Double edged sword though if he cannot hold his ground. Given his credentials, I however think he can hold his ground and put the PAP MPs in their place.

Well, if the rumours are true, too bad for him. Maybe it was related those donations TR was asking from the public. Someone might have complained about fraud. Like or hate his TR, TR did provide tabloid entertainment while it lasted.

But whether he really volunteered or someone volunteered for him to stick his head out. Anyway, that time terrorists were honourable and won't saw off is head.

Didn't know they were kicked out after their service. Quite tragic, compared to the foreigners who are allowed to reside here, foreigners who have no loyalty, while the gurkhas are in many ways loyal and yet no rewarded.

Chen would be the nice guy. Pritam would be the attack dog. The quiet Malay guy and I don't even bother to find out his name, would be the punch bag and bait to get public sympathy.

LOL Sounds like cheap clean fun, see no touch!

Moreover, Indonesia more politically unstable. Anytime can lash out at neighbours, Konfrantasi is a old good example. The current government looks sane, although it wasn't when the shorty was there.

I'm sure the WP bunch can give as good as they get. Whatever it is, they have an underdog status and people who be more forgiving and give them more slack than if the PAP bunch made the same mistake.

Because ISD is associated wit ISA and ISA is the cane used by the PAP to whip the opposition in the past. There is a valid concern among many of us that while ISD catches terrorists, they also might catch genuine opposition politicians at the PAP's bidding, even if these opposition politicians...

Malaysian Special Branch sounds like ISD. Do the Malaysians have a SID version or MSB also does overseas?

Heard about Vietnamese "coffee shops" from pals in San Jose too as such gentleman's clubs were exposed in the news.

How is the mortgage interest rate there e.g. Sydney or Melbourne?

Re: Don’t Expect Workers Party MPs to be a GOD at the parliament ! Spread the words Not all WP MP are good, but they can be groomed to be good in time. LTK and SL can easily show Gerald, Chen and Pritam the way. They have most hope among the new WP MP and NCMP. I expect more good and bad from...

Re: Breaking News: US Marines @Wall Street To Protect Citizens The rumours of Radiohead performing to support drew even more crowds and publicity. So if we want to protest in Singapore, must spread rumours that JJ Lin, Idol Taufik or some other guy who would draw thousands to free show...
