Every Day Party

Focussing on the 1990s is depressing. Why? Because that was an era when Singaporeans were fully castrated in a political sense. People had surrendered their political rights in exchange for a false sense of economic security promised by the PAP. The SDP had fucked up spectacularly and its gross...

Re: Roy an HHH doing a Great Job!! CSJ has complete lack of political acumen and has his head up in the air. It is not that he is a destructive person by nature as in real life (I've met him a few times) he a nice chap with good intentions and belief in fundamental principles of democracy...

The government should legalize marijuana because it is even less harmful than nicotine.

The government tells you CPF is the source of retirement and you believe them? CPF is just a tax system in which specific items like property can be paid for from a common pool of taxation funds. When you sell your property, the proceeds are returned to that common pool, and you have to top it...

Agree on the packaging. I've seen too many men fall for packaging. Dress a china girl up and call her a singer, she can earn $10K in flowers. And very often don't even need to have sex with the flower hanger. The worst packaging is to say the girl worked in massage parlour before. The 2nd worst...

Singaporeans should never count on CPF for retirement for much the same reason no sane American counts on Social Security. You should save up for yourself with cold hard cash. CPF should be treated as a form of taxation. Whatever benefits you may receive from the account should be regarded as a...

Money printing will lead to inflation. Cost of living goes up, so standard of living drops. Worst affected are the lower income. Gold is no longer an inflation hedge: http://dailyreckoning.com/gold-not-the-inflation-hedge-you-might-think/...

Point noted on the term insurance part. As for property investment, I think what most people do is to have a will properly set up delineating which dependent gets what share of what property. Its more an estate planning problem and one does not buy property with the sole intention of passing...

Gold has been demonetized. It is no longer a monetary metal, so we can expect it to behave no differently from other rare elements like platinum, yttrium, scandium, etc. It does not have to go up when there is money printing.

In life insurance, your dependents enjoy a higher ROI if you die earlier. However if you live to a ripe old age, the ROI may be only 2.5% to 3%. I have a mixture of financial assets ranging from life insurance to a stock portfolio that I intend to pass down. Property is an excellent investment...

Re: Roy an HHH doing a Great Job!! Unfortunately they miscalculated and gave the MSM a field day at tarnishing them. In Singapore all the apparatus are aimed against you. They amplify all your missteps and make it into a mountain when it is but a molehill. Discerning Singaporeans must see...

Having an insurance company pay out benefits to your kids is a better return than just letting the cash sit in the bank. If your will is done right, you can also use life insurance to provide financial protection to your various mistresses. Of course, don't let your wife find out about those...

Life insurance can be used as a vehicle to pass down money to your kids.

How many parsecs to her star system? Might want to visit someday?

Steam indeed. Asian food is always the best, with the broadest variety of tastes and ingredients, and this thread proves it.

Catherine Lim is always a fantastic read. Only thing I have ever disagreed with is her obsession with Bukit Brown.

Re: Louis Ng of ACRES (Animal Concerns Research and Education Society) just joined PA Civil society in Singapore has been hollowed out. There is no real activist movement, only niche groups clinging to their pet causes. Watch out for AWARE. As long as they are around, Women's Charter will be...
