This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have done no wrong. ~ Proverbs 30: 20

Don't think his message is meant for the masses. It seems more likely that the message is for the son of a friend who he thinks is going astray.

Singapore = Melos China = Athens Sparta = USA

To understand what he is writing, you have to see this from a Christian perspective. Christians believe that kings, prime ministers and presidents are anointed or chosen by God. After being chosen, they are to lead the people in a just manner. The people in return learn from these leaders and...

I think it is rather well written. It will unfortunately fall on deaf ears. This will not be due to a lack of intellect but because of hearts of stone.

Not quite sure what they were so afraid. They had stacked the deck so much that it was almost impossible for her to lose.

He continues to serve in the same way Daniel served King Belshazzar of Babylon. Unlike his grandfather King Nebuchadnezzar, King Belshazzar had no great achievements to his name. He was however a proud man, his pride being born of the great things his grandfather had done. King Belshazzar...

He is out of his league. Strip away all the trimmings and his company is essentially an upgraded version of a Sim Lim Square shop selling souped up gaming equipment. There is nothing in his background to suggest that he has the experience or expertise to propose an actual working model.

For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John. ~ C.S. Lewis

There is very little point of being king if your kingdom is Sodom and Gomorrah.

The heart of everyone is essentially evil. We all love our family and ourselves more than we love others. The bible gives us a mirror to see what is wrong. Many ignore what they see. And even more choose not to look into the mirror. Perhaps he looked into the mirror and saw what his job was...

It is unlikely that they will be able to replace Young Kim using conventional methods. He has eliminated everybody within DPRK who could be a threat. The only realistic option is assassination. Young Kim knows this which is why he never travels outside of the DPRK.

Don't think his principles went out the window. If he did, he would still be a minister and in the running for becoming PM. His rejection suggests that whoever eventually becomes PM will most likely be an amoral, godless person. He will continue the existing PAP policies of enriching a select...

If you are a Christian who actually practices what the bible teaches, it will be hard to support many of the positions taken by cabinet. The move to Speaker might seem to be demotion to many. It however might be welcome relief for him as he no longer has to compromise his personal principles and...

With the exception of tax collection, not quite sure what are the economic benefits of pursuing this so vigorously. For it to work, they will have to do more than reduce the 1 to 2% fee. It will be necessary to give some kind of rebate for QR code payments to generate the demand to force...

She is supposedly in Singapore with Thaksin at the moment.

She had a total of 4 husbands -one Chinese, two Caucasians and an Indian. Even by today's more liberal standards, that would raise some eyebrows

While the senior officers went to 5 star hotels, the poorer enlisted men went to cheaper digs. A popular hotel was the Ambassador Hotel at Meyer Road mentioned by the GI in his memoir. The following is a posting from someone who remembered the hotel well. On the GI and his memory of his...

With the opening of old files, we now know that the domino theory was about as correct as the WMD theory that the US used to justify the invasion of Iraq. http://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/09/world/mcnamara-recalls-and-regrets-vietnam.html .... Mr. McNamara says he belatedly concluded that the...

The story seen from another perspective. During the Vietnam War, Singapore was an R&R center for American soldiers fighting in Vietnam. The following is a recollection of a GI who came to Singapore for R&R. http://www.reflectionsofvietnam.com/authors/tom-skiens/hush-puppies-hookers-and-hammocks...
