Actually the whole media industry here gives themselves the celebrity title all the time. But problem is noone even knows them when bumping into them on the street. Of course the real question that begs to be answered is do they even deserve the self-conferred title seeing their poor skills...

Re: Do you agree that Straits Times compared Lee Kuan Yew with Nelson Mandela and Oba He made a change to some people BUT not in the numbers as great as Mandela, nor Obama, nor Mao, nor Ghandi. Recognition wise, I would think he deserves some but not in the same stage.

I am wondering how that affects the weather and indirectly the sentiments of the voters,

I agree... revoke his bail and he will turn around and say "joking only"

Actually the real unwritten science is that women herd and have a very strong need to be seen to herd. With the very high possibility of trampling on some feminist feet, its well known that all women need to fit in. Take fashion, take processions (handbag, jewellery etc). Also look at the...

Actually no.. most of the retail shops are run by a Johor-based Malaysian lady. She was quite successful in growing her business slowly over many years. Just look for the "sign" in the shops.. the smaller repair shops in the rear are a mix of locals and Indians.

Probably not in your lifetime, but something will happen when there is too much disparity in the monies.

Of the four points you posted, I think none of them applies these days. The banks and companies will just retrench you when they feel the need to show positive bottom line. Bonuses? The only people giving that is govt services these days in these economic climate.

Its quite obvious that the editors are being replaced by FTs

bitcoin was an example of a system to break away to form a universal currency not controlled by governments but by market forces. Unfortunately, the governments dont really like it and is scuttling it.. This will evolve in time.. we will see a universal currency in time.

Its called trying your luck, if bluff is called, then just say "joking only"..

Agree. Most young ones do not want to slave hard. Rather they prefer the Air con bank or offices. My pals are in the heavy industry/machinery business, dried goods and Chinese medical products business. Turnover is very respectable but none of the children want to do it because "its...

If I recall correctly many years ago, when it was still a small shop in the old Funan centre, it was run by a local uncle and auntie couple. Their prices were not low but they were well stocked.

Actually it could be neither. Like some of my business buddies moan that there is none in their family that wants to take over, all preferring to work in offices and not risk it or stay away overseas. Only logical choice is close shop and retire. You will see a lot more in the next few...

Nope. We exceed them. Just last week, an American friend on holiday here commented that a basic everyday milkshake costs an exorbitant SGD5 and above and in US they will never pay more than USD2 (SGD2.6) for a milkshake.

India must be doing what they excel in doing when they think that someone needs them badly. In this case, they THINK is USA who needs them. Possibly because of the following: - many Indian professionals in USA - India has "large market" pop that US wants - USA needs democratic India to go...

This is only a small number. Silent retrenchment have been happening over the past few years by a number of MNCs seeking to relocate.

Actually, if you speak with the older folk here and in Malaysia who were around during the war, they will tell you that that's what they did to the traitors, those that worked with the Japanese as informers. They were beaten ,tortured and had limbs cut off. Most were killed quite brutally.

Sigh.. this reminds me of my previous post on guys becoming more effeminate. I guess you must have had a very sheltered life and was not allowed out to play football in the m&d? or even climb a tree? If a guy is afraid of lizards, cats and dogs even, I cannot trust such a guy to take care...

This is another example of trying his luck. With the hopes that she will continue to provide him sex after that. Unfortunately she turned around and bit him.
