They can be President.;) Our trans-racial President is only 1.47m (4'10").

Some corrections: Old fart: 1.78m (5'10") Wooden: 1.90m (6'3") Pinky: 1.83m (6') GCT when he was PM was the 2nd tallest chief exec in the world after Chancellor Kohl (1.93m, 6'4"). We have quite a tall cabinet, even by international standards: Tharman: 1.85m (6'1") TCH: 1.87m (6'2") CCS...

These studies that compared drug and crime rates before and after capital punishment was abolished were all done in First World countries where enforcement was never an issue, e.g. in the southern states in the US and in European nations. We're not talking about ineffectual, corrupt Third World...

Weinstein is guilty of sexual assault and rape. Jacky Chan is guilty of the casting couch – you want to act in my movie, we meet up at XXX Hotel at xxxx time. The choice is yours. Both are cheekopeks, but Weinstein is a bastard and a sexual criminal. He'll be arse-raped by big black dongs when...

Rehashing the same old debate again. Firstly, study after study has shown that the death penalty is not a stronger deterrent than life imprisonment without parole. Speak to anyone and they'll tell you they'd rather die than spend their life in a cell. Drugs are a great scourge, but thinking...

This is just a 21st century version of the 19th century tram seen in cities all over the world. Road congestion is not a problem as long as a dedicated lane is allocated to the tram (which seems to be the case, judging from the pics) during the road design phase. Introducing it on older roads...

Basic Internet etiquette (any forum): using uppercase letters for the entire post is akin to shouting. Certainly not welcome in any real or virtual forum. Using uppercase for certain words or phrases for emphasis is OK.

I'm sure most of us here – myself included – appreciate the effort. Xenforo might be different from vBulletin, but there are surely tools in place to permanently ban disruptive members and put new monikers under moderation. Other than that I believe in managing this place with a light touch...

Michelle doth protest too much; she's an old hag. (Her Ipoh classmates confirm that she's under-reporting her age by a good five years.) I've not heard of any Asian director or producer hitting on her, much less racist Hollywood honchos. The day Dickson Poon dumped her she crossed her use-by...

Many Western pharmaceuticals in use today are derived from Chinese herbs, e.g. Ephedrine – from ma huang (ephedra sinica), used in the ICU and OT to increase BP in shock Lovastatin – from hong qu mi (red yeast rice), first statin to be used in Western medicine to combat high cholesterol...

片仔癀 Key ingredients include calculus bovis (ox bezoars/gallstones), musk, ginseng and snake gall. Prized for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and vasodilatory (increases tissue blood flow) effects.

My kids have never settled for anything less than Want Want. Every other brand is a knock-off. And they were so thrilled when they saw a Want Want Hot Kid statue at a Taipei Hotel where we were staying that each of them took turns posing next to it for a photo.

And where were all these people when CSJ harped at length (over the years) on the need for minimum wage? Who did they vote for? We're not even talking about lazy bums on the dole. We're talking about folks who work their butts off and are still unable to pay the bills despite having a property...

My intelligent corgi is way better than most Sinkies. He herds us when we go out, talks to us when he wants something, barks and growls at strangers who approach our house, plays with us, welcomes us when we come home, and snuggles in bed with us. He doesn't backstab, lie, or manipulate humans...

Writing's on the wall for the nation's prostitute press ... dwindling circulation, mass retrenchments, and now AsiaOne's demise. Even magazines like Her World are struggling, given that many are going online for their lifestyle updates. In an age of the Internet, social media and globalization...

Agree. Never really could act, despite her popularity in Little Nonya. Her nose job and botox treatments have left her face even more mask-like and expressionless than before, a bane of all actresses.

Well done. What a punch. That guy probably knows some Muay Thai. Thailand is the only S.E. Asian country not to have been colonized by a European power, hence the lack of a 'colonial mentality' that one sees elsewhere in the region. True, their girls may fawn over the farang, but this is more a...

Kudos to the security guard. A lowly paid wage-earner is cleaner than our multi-million-dollar ministers. Who was it who said that you need to pay astronomical wages to stem corruption?

Agree. Thais, and Balinese. Genuinely warm-hearted. Japs are gracious in a ritualistic and insincere manner.

Just one (unrelated) question: why did you list your gender as 'Male' when everyone here knows you're a woman?
