Don't you insult my slum! Or I'll put on my knuckledusters and meet you in a cul de sac And unlike MM Lee, I am no decrepit Cambridge lawyer but a 100kg gorilla thug

How much of that is wishful thinking and how much is real? My guess is 50-50 Nicole Seah as NCMP could whip up some real fervour, and mobilise young voters against PAP in greater numbers However, SPP should not be in the business of helping out other opposition parties....unless it is...

Allow me to rephrase and simplify that question - if the Straits Times becomes a truly independent newspaper and we get rid of LKY's brand of fear/blackmail politics....how many votes would have the PAP won this round? My guess is probably just under 40%. Does the PAP still represent me as my...

For what Singaporeans are about to spend on Tin Pei Ling's education to be an MP, Vivian 'Three Meals' Bala could have funded that $30 increase for Singapore's poorest families for an entire year! Attaboy Singapore, lets continue to subsidise PAP cronies and snatch food out of the mouths of our...

until proven otherwise, any PAP member slated to go far has proven incapable of significant reform. As such, should be treated with circumspection. Technocrats like Tharman and GY are less objectionable, but they are there to do their jobs and not rock the boat and they do exactly that. I...

one of the deepest rooted desires of the poor and the otherwise marginalised....is to be accepted and be able to pass off as mainstream society. If they think mainstream society supports PAP, then of course they do to. What PAP has done is perpetuate a myth that they are a party supported by...

we got a winner

Coming from a finance background and with colleagues who tracks SWFs, I can guarantee you that PM Lee is spinning. The reserves is the biggest prize in the PAP fortress, and de facto regarded as the private fief of the Lees plus selected family allies.

Indeed, why did the entire East Coast rise up against the PAP? The effect of Hougang/Aljunied spilling over is one reason. Another could be the sheer concentration of the least popular ministers - MBT, WKS, RL, NEH and my personal favourite HK movie baddie lookalike Admiral 'Chased out of...

please stay, your post are so amusing!

I expect she will be the favourite target of forummers over the next 5 years. In a bid to prevent her from being an anvil on the party's neck, expect PAP to spare no expenses in PR and image consulting to convert Sarah Peiling into a success story of how they can successfully groom a nobody...

Those problems are the symptoms of PAP's increasing economic far right ideology that assigns a dollar value to each citizen. If you are old and unable to work, if you are sick and unable to afford life saving medicines, if you are have a severe handicap holding you back from a job...then as...

Half-truth at best. They may have done that but it was not necessary. Lets not talk about spending reserves. Lets start off with a full accounting of what we have in the reserves, Temasek and GIC. The peoples' interest should not be on spending reserves but on exactly what we have and what...

Yes, that would make sense, wouldn't it? And it would be the absolute right thing to do for the voters whom he purports to represent. So no need to go into doom and gloom so fast. Things may still turn out well for Singapore

Re: What went terribly wrong in Holland-BT for the best qualified opposit team in the Its not easy to replace Chee...Michelle Lee has the highest EQ and widest mainstream acceptability in that lot but she won't have the time. Also, there is a big difference between being a chairman, a sec...

There should be immigration but not this kind of volume Equally, or even more, economically advanced cities like Melbourne, San Jose, Helsinki, Vienna and Taipei have managed to do it without adopting extreme immigration measures like Singapore

do you mean you think LHL will do the right thing. what signs have you seen that indicate this? i can't tell

MM Lee said: "Today, the Singapore Port Authority has mechanised; no longer do people carry sacks of rice -- they use forklift trucks, computers, cranes, so as a result salaries have gone up, productivity has gone up. Fuck sake man, do you think in Taipei or Seoul or Hong Kong those port...

The PAP now comes to a fork in the road. They have a difficult choice to make and it is not apparantly clear to me, as a simple voter, which is the way they will go. Any thoughts? Feel free to add scenarios if I missed any out Scenario 1: High Road. PAP consults the people, tries to fix the...

yep, and the upper middle class is the most important demographic while small, this is historically the demographic that mobilises the underclass majority to kick establishment ass
