My understanding of the 2006 amendment after the piano man case is the boy, if he is still of NS-serving age, is given a choice of doing either 2 years NS or 3 years jail. Under the new rule, the father will be jailed 3 years and fined $10,000 because he is the reason why the son is not around...

You're very perceptive at deducing the name, smart. :)

Not all of Canada is below zero yet. It is 3 deg where I am now, and no frost on my still green lawn. The morning sun is shining, and it is somewhat windy. I will put on my parka, boots and beanie and continue with my outdoor garden paving project, then wait for the snow to come any day now...

Any photos of those cars? With the price of coe, using car for a bomb is not cost effective.

Good idea, extend and be done with the 13 year cycle of in-camps. Since he is lau chiow NSF and his batch already ROD, I'll bet he will have easy time doing lobo and enjoy a prolonged ROD mood. Better than doing in-camps, mobilizations, routine reporting and exit permits until 40, he can...

Your plan sounds perfectly feasible. You have commendably prioritized being near to your kid to watch he or she grow up, and putting your family first. You have more than enough cash to easily put a 25% down payment for a $400K property which is a typical budget for a decent single-family...

Fantastic suggestion for an overseas s'porean forum. It'll be a great venue for posting heads ups on changes in official policies for CPF withdrawal, NS obligation, property ownership, passport renewals that can affect those who still have ties to s'pore.

How about the rumors that never surfaced, investigated or made the news? That our taxpayer's money bought fakes in our collection? And frequent flyer trips at our expense to make these acquisitions and study trips?

Which reminds of the chewing gum story I heard. One ND minister at his retirement dinner that his ministry threw for him gave a farewell speech. He said sometimes his staff takes what he says too seriously. Once he half-in jest commented about the nuisance of chewing gum. What he didn't expect...

And not forgetting that the leaders take the military route to their positions, and their executive levels also are peppered generously with ROD military ranks who need somewhere to go after they collect their 6-figure gratuity.

Why not? How about these reasons.. 1. Properties still in singapore, need to keep in touch with the property situation, to hold on or to sell out. 2. Still trading shares in SGX, also need to know the market situation, to hold or to liquidate. 3. Family there, need to know political...

Hi Malxsin, Interesting data from Burlington's own website, though that place is considered a bedroom community, who would want to live there? ;) If you use nature as any indication, the grass, flowers and leaves are already out in Burlington & Hamilton weeks before they appear in Toronto &...

Look in the sg gov directory and see whether 1:4 of the directors work in jobs that match their education. I'll bet you will mostly find too many military men and scholars managing departments and functions that has no bearing whatsoever to their original learning and training. Some even hit...

Agree, Canada is big enough that one can always find a nice place anywhere to fit one's work, budget and lifestyle. A home in Canada is not always about pricey houses in prime downtown locations. There are numerous alternative cities to downtown Vancouver or Toronto that has their own economic...

You'll definitely need the PR card to re-enter Canada. I don't think it is simply a matter of hassle that can be resolved by explaining and negotiating, I think its simply cannot get past the Canada immigration officer at the checkpoint without the card. One way is to get your family...

For federal skilled workers applicants, at some point around the time CIC requests for medicals and before they grant approval, they would have included a form called 'Personal Net Worth' that the applicant is supposed to fill in, one for the applicant, and one for the spouse. I'm don't know...

Roughly speaking, the public and catholic schools seem to be kind of 'paired'. You see one school, the other one is nearby. Many times they are separated by their school fields, side by side, or back to back, or across the street. Here's the link to MLS zoomed in to Mississauga...
