An interesting piece, although very belated, by Phnom Penh Post's Roger Mitton. The article in its entirety here. Last week, Singapore’s post-independence hero, Lee Kuan Yew, marked his 90th birthday. He has led an amazing life, and though a ruthless old curmudgeon, he has always been among...

Circa late 60's, the ganja pusher at the Singer showeoom. $1 a kartoo. We used to hang out at the sarabat shop in the backlane parallel to Owen Rd, which the famed Teochew muay stall occupy ater the demise of the sarabat stall. The lau chiaos, the first hippies in Singapore, taught us how to...

Just heard from a group of very anti-BN Malaysians, who, other than the embassy staff, seems to make up the entire Malaysian population here in Phnom Penh, that Anwar has been bought for MR25M. One opined that the oppo should go direct to the Federal Courts. There were heated discussions of the...

Like cancer stops smoking?

Not with my teeth. They're packed so tight on the lower jaw they actually overlap. That renders toothpicks rather useless. My teeth could have rot decades ago had I not flossed. And yes, nothing's filthier than currency. Dirty money.

Nope, costs not more than $5, I think, available from most pharmacies. Comes with a spare roll of floss. A roll, even with my constant flossing,lasts a year or more. Best investment I have.

For an old geezer like me, I have pretty good and healthy teeth. Just 1 molar crown and the rest's the real stuff. No big secret. Daily flossing because I have close up teeth and flossing gets rid of the food that gets in between. I have my Oral flosser close by all the time. You can call me a...

When does this government wakes up to the idea the people don't want any more 'help'? Every time it helps, the people ends up with the bill. Helping the poor? Increased GST. Improving the mass transit system? Increased fares. More help? Thank you but no, thank you.

Daktarin, while effective, is way overpriced in SG. Generics in Phnom Penh costs like 5000 riel (USD1.25). I am very susceptible to fungus, especially in these hot and humid conditions now in PP. Sweat accumulates around the underwear band and is ideal breeding ground for fungus. One swipe of...

Men give love to have sex, women give sex to have love. And that's all it is. Period.

I read from somewhere teflon coated pans give out gas which are toxic. Anyway, the trick to avoid food from sticking to the wok is to heat it up first, till it's smoking, before adding oil. Heat the oil up a while before throwing in the food to be fried. I don't know what's the explanation but...

I would like to die in bed, shot by a jealous husband. Preferably after the evil deed is done.

G7 3-in-1, from Vietnam. Used to be sold only in selected shops but I think it's sold in Sheng Siong. Very fragrant, fills entire room. used to buy it for about $10 for 50 sachets. It's USD2 for 21 sachets here in Phnom Penh.

Actually Ikea should sell those 'tainted' with horsemeat a a higher price, like $2 apiece. These Scandinavians just don't get it.

Re: Short Arse Seah Kian Peng defends NTUC's Foodfare without answering the real ques By complaining to APB when Carrefour sold Tiger Beer below the recommended selling price?

SG? Haha, they got rid of those by installing a lever to prevent the slot for those who doesn't want junk mails. Great move, HDB, I thought, no more junk mails. All they did was removing the middlemen by getting the Post Office to deliver the junk mail. Now the postie unlocks the back panel to...

Roger Moore? Whose entire repertoire of emos consists of raising a single eyebrow? No thanks. Shake him hard till he's dead, just make sure he doesn't stir again. Daniel Craig is coming along nicely and will make the best James Bond yet.

Nothing a wooden stake and hammer, with crucifixes and holy water from a Catholic church, can't cure.
