Thanks for the heads up! :)

"Nothing to do with our young men" and "younger generations are generally more out of shape" are contradicting. Frankly, the training regime in the Army and SPF have gotten nothing but easier over the years. Trainees get lots of welfare and care from instructors on the whole. Hell, even the...

So is the conscription here that is too tough, or are our young getting weaker and unhealthier? The older generation may say that during their time, very few of such cases happened (yes, and with the lack of a common medium like the Internet to facilitate the spread of such news, I...

Agree with you totally. Never really saw much SDP activity in Bishan/Toa Payoh.

I have to say that I don't disagree with what the ang moh did. Neither am I siding with the ang moh. Many times I visit electronics shops and shopping malls to browse products (product research first, before I buy). Of course, I do my research online, and only walk-in to the store to get a...

So many kids run amok the shopping centres, and this kid had to be the one-in-a-million to get caught. Is it really the shopping centre's fault? No. Could it be the boy was too mischievous? Possibly. I have personally wondered about this, and tried to get my foot stuck on the escalators...

1. Agreed. This is most likely because they need a female face to welcome guests or visitors to the company. 2. Agreed. Women are better at handling children right from the stone ages. No dispute about that. 3. Disagree. I have seen male cashiers at NTUC, albeit part-time youngsters...

Re: On behalf of the ruling party I sincerely thanks Dr Chee from the bottom of my he Get your facts right first.

I think it's hard to say. People get tired of walkovers. They want change. Bishan is a young estate. That will be where most of the newer voters who want change will come from.

No I don't. Most kids around here do, I know. But the truth is that when given a real weapon, not many would dare to pull the trigger and kill another man in cold blood. So you can go on and brag about which weapons are better than the M16. :)

Ya, gimme the M16 anytime of the day. If war ever breaks out, first thing I would do is to ditch the SAR21 and go look for a M16 on any other dead soldier.

Thanks for bringing up this issue. This is a good thread with a great wealth of insights. Thanks! :)

Err.. there's no cited sources. Is this from Sin Ming or Lianhe Wanbao? I thought Rule #1 of posting on the Internet is to "quote your sources"? Otherwise the news could be fake for all we know.

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. But to me, the ideal way this world works should be a zero-sum game: You give, and you take. I wasn't enjoying when that pregnant mum was getting banged up by her man. So when it comes to the seat, it's time for me to enjoy resting my butt on it...

Not sure if you have ever tried looking for a job. With thousands of applications for one single position, will you even open up each and every single email to paste a template thanking the applicant, or will you just press delete? It would be prudent to assume that applicants who are not...

You have to turn on read mail receipt in Outlook. Some people think people who turn this on are rude. If you use Outlook you will get a prompt asking if you want to notify the sender that you have read the email. IMHO, it's best to turn this feature off to avoid offending people, especially...

It could simply be the case that the job position was already filled, so they deleted the applicant's email without reading it. There is no evidence to prove otherwise. Like po2wq said, they didn't even read the email, so how could they possibly know the applicant's nationality? Being an...

Hey man, to the old and disabled, I would offer my seat. They didn't choose to be old. Neither did they choose to be born (or become) disabled. For the pregnant, it's a totally different ballgame. They made the decision to become pregnant.

Frankly, they don't need to spend any (or much) resources on retaining existing customers. Because the market is small (only 3 telcos), the problem faced by each of the telco is the same. Each month, there is always a fixed number of customers who have their contracts ending and move on to...
