    The SAF Needs To Fix Its RT System

    Thanks for being ironic and sarcastic at the same time. Having said that, there will be many who won't get it- for many understandable reasons. Its especially so for those men who are already married and having kids and also having work stress at the same time.

    Lee Kuan Yew Facebook Page

    Only 400 people. Compared to the rest of the politicians' fan pages- overseas mostly- 400 people is a speck.

    An Election STRATEGY that could TOPPLE this government.

    LHL is not the leader. LKY is the leader. Its true that one has to take out LHL to take out LKY. But if you leave LKY alone and only take out LHL politically, then your plan has a very, very big loophole. After all, doesn't everyone, including you, dear buddy, know clearly that LHL is merely...

    "President Nathan did the right thing" says Dr Lam

    By staying on without even an election, he has already damaged the integrity of his Office. That "President" of ours is a sad case, and he himself is a sad person. I won't even want to comment on Dr. Lam's letter.

    An Election STRATEGY that could TOPPLE this government.

    Reminds me of the movie Valkyrie, where Tom Cruise's character warned those who wanted to kill Hitler that until you kill Hitler's closest allies, like Goebbels as well as Hitler himself, any assassination of Hitler only will fail. Ironically when Cruise's character set the bomb, Goebbels was...

    4.6% Reduction In Bus And Train Fares From 1 April 2009

    There were a few student volunteer groups which organise a petition drive and meetings with the PTC, whom one guy I know very well, and it seem to have worked a bit. Regardless whether is it done for political reasons or out of a sincere heart, credit must be given to those who went ahead...

    The SAF Needs To Fix Its RT System

    Unfortunately, the problem about scheduling fitness programs, let it be personal or Mindef RT, is that employers in SG still don't give attention to work-life balance, which includes exercising. This is unlike in other countries where employers provide company gyms or give you discounts in...

    Lee Suan Hiang, Stop Wasting Taxpayers' Money!

    And who's exactly gonna have the money to spend on all these concerts in Paris and in Singapore then? All these artistes flying in, flying out is one thing but revenue generated from all these, dependant on consumer spending, is also fuzzy to an extent. If the returns don't justify the...

    GIC / Temasek and the Nation's Economic Direction over 30 years

    Too much focus on ad-hoc economical(and politically charged) policies have led us to this stage. They think too much of the short term to realise that good economical policies often think of the long term. Even for their so-called "investments", the "long-term" strategy was clearly a sham, a...

    Devaluation of S$ as possible Monetary Tool?

    I have put up an Economist link -a while back- warning of the consequences of believing that a mere currency devaluation is good enough to spark overseas demand. First of all, even if there's a currency devaluation, Americans remain poor, and feeling jittery about their jobs and their wages...

    US Banks to Be Nationalized?

    Japan and Sweden's banking crises in the 90s have shown that unless the government takes control of sick banks with insurmountable debts, and totally reform the bad debt, and appointing new people, the banks under current management will not do much or even do nothing- because they will want to...

    Economic Crisis : Why the Stock Market Keeps Plummeting

    They won't get anywhere; their credibility are already shot in pieces, and its unlikely that their reputations will get better if the main street suspects and are sure that Wall Street is punishing President Obama, just because he was elected by the people to wash up Wall Street. Wall Street...

    FT Shuttler Quits

    The "my way or the highway" option usually don't work. If they did that, don't be surprise that more of such cases will continue to flow. People aren't stupid; the PAP shouldn't believe that threats like this will continue to work. Fear shouldn't be the first option. It should always be the...

    PKR - Elizabeth Wong nude photos

    No. We are not so much into sexual politics, but more if there's m&d thrown, its always about the small stuff that seems to question the character of some of the more prominent opposition figures. James Gomez and Tang Liang Hong comes into mind into what are purposely smear campaigns against...

    Economic Crisis : Why the Stock Market Keeps Plummeting

    The stimulus package was never designed to be an miracle, over-night pill. The banking reform package announced last week by the US Treasury department are not detailed enough, and only given broad sketches by Geithner. That's why its only the beginning. The stimulus package is to put in some...

    Singapore’s GIC Loses S$50 Billion as Assets Tumble, WSJ Says

    Even with damage control, S$91b is still a heck of a lot of dough. And these are probably build up over a number of years. Its a waste and again, it shoots holes in Tharman's assertion that PAP operates on trust. Clearly he's the Finance minister and yet his ministry allowed carte blanche...

    Sad that now politics in Malaysia means that politicos have to go through the gutter to win or lose elections. Whatever happened to the issues and policies, anyway? Can't BN try and win elections in a relatively clean way?

    Total Defence - What will you defend.

    When one defends the country, he/she defends the country because one has swore an oath to the country, its ideals, its people and its future. If one swears a personal oath to the leader, like what some infamously brutal countries in history has done, then I'm afraid that a clash between the...

    President Nathan: Why I Okay The Use Of Reserve

    His explanation is immaterial. We all know that it just takes a phone call from LKY to get the job done, or even at most, a personal visit by LKY. So all of these pretty much confirms he's a puppet, or a parrot. And the fact that he's now 87 years old, and our President speaks of the sad fact...
