Please don't give them any more ideas. At this rate, any possession of a laptop and mobile phones will mean more charges when we don't need anymore. Cost of living is already so high with the current charges and taxes.

Of course. That doesn't mean your son deserves the Office that he currently holds though. That mandate shouldn't come from you or a demi-God; it comes from the people. Then what happened in the 4th quarter of 2008, when the economy was allowed to slide -12%, and the companies were allowed to...

Well, almost a year and still nothing. You see, the two-day delay in releasing Mas Selamat's exterior appearance was what led to the final escape of Selamat to overseas shore. The moment one steps onto a boat bound for Riau in between the two days of delay, I suspect, and the guy is lost...

I know politics and political circumstances can become so toxic and radioactive that its difficult to extract one from it...in other words, even I know that unless one has enough experience, politics is a quicksand of a job career.

Well, if you really have no TV and you're watching TV shows which you streamed from online on your desktop PC, why bother to pay? Just make sure your window of the living room is open and opened wide enough to show people that you have no TV. If these chaps come, then show them you really have...

Well, I wouldn't know what is their motive. As for staying away from them, it'd depend on the circumstances and their overall conduct.

No, I don't. That doesn't mean I didn't consider the political side of my words when I wrote that. A person like you should understand why I wrote that anyway. I didn't think I was naive in writing that, honestly so I hope you can see it from my perspective.

That won't help in breaking the habits of the past, if we want to have a real democratic system. In this type of country, the system is supreme, and no-one is below or above the law, and politicians do have to show basic courtesy and respect, even if they are not friends(I mean, do I see...

Well, I deeply respect them for such a gesture. What we need is civility in politics, even if the other side doesn't show it from time to time. What I believe though is that we cannot lecture other people about respecting one's own principles if we don't do that ourselves. So we have to...

It should applied in countries which are somewhat democratic, like Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. I mean, if you look at the dispute that is now brewing in the opposition ranks, public declarations of wanting Anwar to leave- without talking to Anwar privately, or off the record first- only...

Kevin Rudd depends on the people for his second term as PM. LHL depends on his father to talk first before he talks the following day. Enough said.

The PAP is never on the ground to understand things from another perspective, to understand reality. This strange disconnection and bad policies would never have happened if they did their homework better. There's just that sheer laziness I feel that is coming from this government.

He had waited for his ah-pa to say something on Saturday during his ah-pa CNY dinner at Tanjong Pagar, before he said his own at the Istana CNY celebration on sunday. I'm basically tired of this when the PM doesn't show leadership in Parliament and lead the defence of his Finance ministry from...

Political, and policy differences are not the same as personal differences. It doesn't mean that just because one disagrees with another in policy means one chases the other with an axe. There's a line we shouldn't across, especially the line in regards to decency and respect for your fellow...

Local economists only know how to propagate the official government line. I'm terribly disappointed in them really. I won't do that basically because economists, unlike bankers, are liable to tell the truth in every other country, especially in Australia. Its the truth that holds us in the job...

Anyone who watches the collapse of the American economy knows that the continuing worsening of the retrenchment- as announced in the amount of 600,000 job losses in January alone- of local-born Americans makes the recession even worse. This is because locals, not foreigners, will spend more...

The issue here is whether a job can retain his job if he's productive enough, regardless of his nationality. This means his/her nationality shouldn't be an issue, and cannot form the main reason of dispensing of his/her services. If one foreigner is retained because of his passport, while a...

Mate, when a politician is paid S$1m to talk nonsense, God knows when he talks about God, is he/she really talking about God- who told us not to swear allegiance to it, but to Him- or about the God of Fortune? I think its important to note when all of the "good words actually means good deeds...

I think what's more important is not about higher income/corporate taxes per se, but the overall standard of living, the overall standard of the level of happiness and how strong the economy is when its stormy times. It says a lot about Australia that even during such stormy weather such as...

My stance about these investments has always been consistent: we shouldn't invest in these banks and insurance companies at all. Period. LKY still thinks its prudent, but I believe its political. And when business decisions are made because of politics, it often turns out bad. That's why I...
