Accpetable to whom? To you? Why can't they mutilate it if they want to, as long as people listen to them? Of course it is acceptable, as long as they can be understood. Read my points again. Nobody, not even the Oxford English Dictionary, has the authority to decide what is acceptable for any...

What is this? Language does not belong to anyone. We are not obliged to accommodate them or sound like them just because they supposedly "invented" the language. We are only obliged to make ourselves understood. You might as well say that every English-speaking person in the world must sound...

There were some who didn't mind going to China, but they were in the minority. You're right - though in some cases it was more than mere "cajoling". One candidate had a place in MIT and wanted to go there, but he was told he wouldn't be offered the OMS unless he went to China. More like coercion.

Question: what has Ho Ching got to do with GIC?

Interesting theory. So if a guy becomes famous (and rich) and a celebrity, he no longer has the right to pick a fight on the road like every other normal guy.

haha, why isn't it surprising that it's MM Lee shooting off his mouth again? also, I think his comments about Kim Jong-il are also strangely self-referencing.

Ever seen Cavinder Bull in court? It's a treat to listen to him tear down witnesses and opposing lawyers. There's no doubt he'd make a great PAP attack dog.

Please don't anyhow shoot. To consider Bey, after his being publicly humiliated, is laughable.

Sounds about right. Rumours are that the MTI PS, who began his career at MAS, is being readied to return and take over at MAS very soon.

When Leo Yip gets moved to a GLC, then it's a sure sign. One of the most brilliant people in the civil service today.

sounds old. if he's standing, then it's minister or nothing.

This sounds awfully like desperate self-promotion and a huge case of sour grapes.

May I suggest, in addition to Bargain Hen, Gay Loong, etc list of ministers' nicknames, we add "Lui Fuck Yew/Lui Fuck You" as well.

I am encouraged, your mental faculties seem to be showing some improvement. Now you've suddenly understood nuance. Give it some time and you may be able to add 1+1.

You're right, I can't argue against acts of clairvoyance like these.

You really have some serious difficulty with timelines and with your approach to post mortem analysis. I'll let you be.

I love this minus 6 minus 5 ranks thing. cracks me up everytime, and also a very accurate character study.

Interesting. Why is the "extremely intelligent and highly educated person" always the one "who is aiming for the position not to help the country and the people"? Ordinary people who haven't made it in life can be equally and certainly more selfish.

oh on the contrary, i'm just a very normal human being who can't read terrorists' minds or see through walls to make sure they are not watching TV. that's why i'd prefer to shut up when a Singaporean life is in their hands. you also seem to have watched too many action movies because you...

You're another interesting character who also claims to possess powers of clairvoyance.
