If I am not mistaken, VW spoke at the anti-Population White Paper protest at Hong Lim in Feb. CSJ has however not been a speaker at Hong Lim this year. Correct me if I am wrong on that. If however this is correct, then the question is: was VW invited to speak but CSJ not? :o

All of this is true but the key point is that it is not significant if the PAP has suffered no real and regular blows from "today's Internet media and connectivity". Thus far, the only blow (if you can even call it that) it has suffered due to "today's Internet media and connectivity" is the...

Agreed. She could have made a stronger, intellectual case against the PAP that goes beyond what people in the kopi tiams already know. But she is incapable of doing so. All her political analysis is like that... completely lacking in depth. She has shrewdly used her relative success as a...

For his kind gesture he will receive a Heavenly reward! :confused: :o

The pics of him outside the sub courts show him thoroughly unconcerned, unflappable, and in fact seemingly smirking. Go figure! :o

Yup. So it is possible that after all the brouhaha, it will be a slap on the wrist, a kiss on the cheek, and he will be told all is forgiven. :o Figuratively, of course.

You are right in saying that "many gays do not want to politicize the gay rights issue." However, I was careful in my remarks by referring to "gay activists". They are not the "many gays", but they are the very vocal ones who want the issue politicised. Also, in your earlier post you...

I think the ones who would be most affected by this decision would be members of the gay community, in fact the gay activists themselves. I cannot see this in any other way irrespective of how VW characterises his decision by what he said was discussions with many folks. Those activists had...

Don't forget Desmond Lim's SDA too...

I do not think we will ever know the real story behind his departure. When he came out I believe he suddenly hampered his ability to walk the ground. Perhaps that is the reality.

Politically, his decision is a wise one, both for himself and the SDP. SDP's prospects will improve somewhat after this resignation. I wish Vincent all the best.

Maybe, maybe not. TDSR is an issue for Sporns not FTs. Cash-rich PRCs and Indians will keep dumping cash into our property market. This is especially so for the Indians given the weakness of the rupee and their need for a safe-haven currency. Everyday I notice more and more Indians...

I used to think like that, but not any more. The property market will keep defying gravity as long as there is a steady inward migration. Contrary to official statements there is no appreciable stemming of inward migration.

The pic in today's ST online of the CHC members queuing to get into the Court for the hearing shows mostly people in their 20s or early 30s (at most). All brainwashed? :confused:

Asking for a mere $200 loan while doing charity work to help others? That is enough to raise a few red flags. :confused: Seems that he is in greater need of help!

If that is indeed his pic, then he is as you describe! Seems that commoners are now using new media as an innovative way to give themselves a day or two of fame, or infamy! :eek:

For such a sum, your game of choice must have been baccarat.

Depending on what you consider a "political issue", it is not a political issue here (i.e., Spore); it is a social issue. In Australia, it is a massive social issue, and only a political issue at state, and not national, level.

Too wishful as none of them would ever be spotted in such dens of iniquity.

Regrettably, there are a lot of people who would willingly do things for the powers-that-be (ptb) -- such as go to the Istana for a photo op with the PM -- even if they have had great disagreements with the ptb. On the other hand, I know of someone who had declined a PBM because of his great...
