At least the Chinks look healthy. Not like this bunch of homeless folk living in unsanitary conditions that led to the recent disastrous Hep A outbreak in San Diego (LA could be next): And the US isn't much better when it comes to environmental despoliation. Toxic sewage dumping in the...

The tides are turning. Those who're still stuck in the Cold War mentality, where all's that's from the West is progressive and creative and all that's from the East is backward and imitative, are in for a rude shock if they've not been keeping up with what's happening in China. Ignore the...

That's an infected sebaceous cyst. Been sitting on his butt for too long. Superstitious old wives and aunties will tell you that he got it because he didn't pat the bus seat down a few times before sitting down.

Re: Gangters Fight In Class While Mangina Teacher Cowers By The Door! Guess The Schoo No one sent me off when I reported to CMPB for my BMT. In my first week, kena 'knock down' 80 push-ups for stand-by-bed. My section mate died in a route march, whole section kena interrogated by CID. But...

You can always choose to boycott the BE and 'win' the election.:rolleyes:

Nice video, thanks. But forget it, it's futile. This kind of videos don't wash with the chaps here ... they're a motley bunch of right-wing reactionaries, neoliberals and a sprinkling of anarchists who are only united in their hatred for the PAP. You know the message – the poor deserve to be...

Two comments: 1. The strong Christian undertone is unsettling. The last thing Singapore needs is a theocracy (with a mandate from God) to replace a fascist oligarchy (with a mandate from Lee). 2. What's his thesis? Every great speech has one (at most two) clear, key message. Some valid points...

There's already a precedent in the Court of Appeal ruling for the Hougang BE 2013: that the PM must call for an election to fill a vacated parliamentary seat within a reasonable time. It doesn't matter whether it's an SMC or a GRC. The ruling clarifies Article 49 of the Constitution and limits...

Appreciate the effort, Boss. The day PAP is toppled I'll nominate you for a PBM. You deserve it.

Fat hope, slim chance. These two civilizations have survived for 5,000 years or so. The survival instinct – and all the ugly and beautiful traits that facilitate and support it – is deeply embedded in their cultural DNA. In a nuclear holocaust, the only species left on earth would be the...

7th Day Adventists serve NS but carry wooden rifles. Jehovah's Witnesses are court-martialled and serve time in DB in lieu of NS – 15 mths initially, and another 24 mths if enlistee still refuses to renounce his religion and serve.

Don't get me going on women drivers. God gave them tits, and took away that part of the brain that deals with visual-spatial orientation. ;)

Even if they wanted a reserved presidency, why set the bar so high as to exclude practically all otherwise very credible candidates? Just so that the PAP could be 100% sure that their favoured candidate won? In which case just revert to the appointed presidency system instead of mutilating the...

How sneaky can you get? You ostensibly quoted my post but slipped in the words in red, 'PAP still win​', so as to attribute them to me. Sheez. And didn't I say in my post below that the TT victory by a mere 0.34% meant that a victory against the PAP-endorsed candidate is a real possibility in...

They are. 'Meriticracy' has failed; elitocracy reigns, one that largely excludes the Malays.Every single negative socio-economic index is now the preserve of the Malays. Take it from one who comes into daily contact with Malays on the ground and who has won their trust.

You're putting words in my mouth. I never said the purpose of voting is 'not to win'. I said voting increases the chances of the independent candidate winning. Boycotting increases the chances of the PAP candidate winning. Till now you've not answered my question about how boycotting can help...

That's why I stopped having a live-in maid some years ago. We now have a part-time Singaporean helper who comes in two mornings a week to help with the more back-breaking chores. Even when I had a full-time maid, I never let her touch my car. When I was younger I'd even wash and iron my own...

Do you know why we're 'pampered'? Because wages are so bloody low here, that's why! Why should I lift a finger to do anything when I have a $500/mth maid, my electrician is at my beck and call for a $30 transport charge, and my contractor can make me an entire kitchen cabinet for $6,000. A...

I once asked my wife exasperatedly what would make Sinkies wake up and vote for the opposition. She said exactly the same thing you said: when significantly large numbers of the middle class are truly suffering – widespread poverty, unemployment, indebted to the hilt. Until then, you can assume...

I have kids who are grown-up too. I tell them to make the world their oyster, go where their skill-sets fetch the highest premium. Don't just restrict their lives or careers to this little red dot. Having said that, I have to agree with Papsmearer. If you're financially independent and have...
