Repeat an old joke here since it is apt.... committees are a legacy of the British colonials... British officials are used to being served, but have to substitute their butlers with Hainanese chefs and waiting staff during their service in Singapore. Very often, over their discussions over...

Hmmm, describes Teo Ser Luck to the T

I wont call them "snake oil" or bunkum. It raises the awareness of the Chi surrounding us and how to breathe right to receive this free energy. Quantum charges 500 for a weekend course. I heard there are some other course FOC but run in Mandarin somewhere in the West coast area. Most of these...

You are right. From first hand knowledge, they employ these foreigners at the minimum wages, then they play around the working hours, example needing them to work shifts and weekends and public holidays. In the end, it works out lower than the stated figures

We should change our broadcasting/receiving rules and allow the citizens to have satellites. Then we can just subscribe to astro. With their footprint over Asia, its just the regulations that we need to overcome

Maybe CPF already dry, and hey, if u can get away with 2 pct why pay the singkees 4.3. U think this is high? Their first tranche of was done at 5.75. When we think of Dubai, images of the man made Palms resort and the world, another high profile reclaimed piece of real estate, oil rich Mid...

Bedok.. slight swaying. i thought i had dragged on my ciggy on an empty stomache. Time : 1820hrs

Of course, but can we delay that until after the N day and the F1 GP ? These are 2 important events and we dont want to spoil the fun.

Why must they mention other complications. Trying to justify the deaths?

so effectively, they take our money, pool the resources, to replace the public assistance. I think you are right about them not understanding what they are doing, and hence the answer from GKY that the payout depends on interest rates and "choke" mortality rates?? My next question is, if...

Hi, I got tired trying to understand the confusion on the website. Need your help.... so the amount is from 40,000 to max 134,000. Do we have any control over how much we want to subscribe to? I am trying to be neutral about this (as you have said, countries with welfare are not performing too...

Watch out? Should I feel threatened? The sage of Omaha is transparent with his investments and the investors that buy into his portfolio do so willingly. Temasek and GIC does so without transparency and our ex Prez was chastised for asking. Hear what Teo Chee Hean said, the procedure to tap into...

Hind sight is always 6/6 or better, so they say. Isn't that exactly what GIC and Temasek did? Albeit the company they picked, despite AAA ratings, still tanked! Don't spout your bloody delusions here that the companies invested were in any way inferior to the Sg companies. If I'm given the...

Ireland and France announce over the week that the government will guarantee customer's bank deposits in full. US of A is going to raise the guaranteed amount from USD 100,000 to USD 250,000. In the meantime MAS sees it fit to only apply guarantees of SGD 20,000 for each account. The reason...

I was just thinking.. The average Singaporean's wealth was or going to be decimated by their involvements with products from overseas, primarily the US. Why is it that home spun companies were not able to fill in this need. For example, if AIA sees it profitable to set up shop here, what are the...

Its hazy but you are right. In the 70s, part of the Stop at 2 campaign, married women of lesser academic qualifications were encouraged to ligate (sterilize) for a HDB grant. Our current baby bonus scheme were targetted at GRADUATE mothers below a certain age group. Its only now extended to all...

[About half of PSC scholars live in private property, but this is not because the system is unfair or un-meritocratic. One major reason is that they are likely to have able parents who have benefited from our meritocratic system. Successful parents then have children who are also likely to be...

In at ST article published on 7 Sept, Lydia Lim wrote that “foreign workers are human beings, no less so than I am … And human beings need places to live … That all persons are equal in dignity is a value I hold dear.” Her view is certainly valid, but to me, it misses the point of the whole...

I wonder if any way to gather the statistics on the above. Also include the COE which is perpetual. There must be at least half a million cars, at an average of 15,000 per car (higher in the past) the numbers are huge. There is normally 20 dollars worth of coupons and 50 dollars in the cash...
