    SG table tennis how come all PRC?

    How many countries have national teams completely made up of imports? We don't have to resort to such tactics just to gather a gold or two. Build up a sport where you'll be highly regarded in, and develop your own talent. Otherwise you'll forever be buying foreign talent. Where's the dignity in...

    Will PRC ping pongs now leave Spore

    It's working out for STTA coz TT is a gold winning sport in China. Whereas athletics is an also-ran after Ma's army was disbanded years ago. If we recruited divers and gymnasts from China, we'd be getting a couple more medals. But, do we really want our medals this way? bleah

    There goes 'Chinese Idol'

    The one with the nicer set of teeth on the right was the lip sync-er. [ Angular chin, perfect molars, long flowing locks ] vs [ Chubby, crooked teeth, short crop of hair ] Personally I think they're both pretty cute. Wouldn't have made much of a difference to me. But now i'd like to hear...

    Indon Maid Spiked Employer's Drinks!

    Should have reported that maid with the pills. That's one dangerous gal, who obviously has a warped sense of right-from-wrong. Who knows what else she has done? On the MOM case : Things will only get better when Maids are regarded as humans, in both policy and treatment. If employers are...

    You hired a CPA but she can't work ?

    Just find cause for termination. Give her a task with reasonable complexity for her qualification and $$$. Make her fully accountable for it, no excuses from her. If she fails ---> just cause (assuming she's on probation) If she passes ---> maybe she found her drive? Lather Rinse Repeat btw...

    SPG Wanna to Offer xxx to Old Fart!

    Schools can complement and drive home the point (since it's a social setting), but such things should start at home with the parents. Plenty of people out there with poor social graces. Unfortunately, they tend to spawn similar selfish brats.
