you should first define "decent life" - what's decent to me might be indecent to you ;) the role of government in a capitalist state is to: 1. regulate industry 2. create jobs by enabling the free markets 3. redistribute wealth tru out society via taxes and social programs 4. ensure public...

nothing has changed... you are still as well off as before you read the article. no?

what a terribly irrelevant question imo

if u read his post carefully, you'll know he won't give a shit about people pissing over "him" after he's dead. the body is a just shell after death. no observations to the contrary have ever been made yet.

you sound like a dumb shit 15 yr old geek who plays too much computer games and can't distinguish the virtual world from reality. grow some pubic hair first before spreading your msg of hate and deceit

just to quickly interrupt, the pegging of wages to the public sector is an act of them reaping the seeds of pragmatism they have sown. only money talks in this society they have nurtured. the day they pegged it is the day they realized they've dug a hole they can't climb out of. this...

oh please.... don't try to add any sense of altruism to his actions. he did what he did to maintain his hold on power and wealth. this whole 'benevolent dictatorship' is a personal ego trip for him. that we got to ride the gravy train, that's our good fortune. if he could kick us all off, he...

FT from England to teach english? wait long long, more likely from Philippines. a fraction of the price.

i don't think people want to just "afford cars" and leave them as a trophy at home with skyhigh ERP rates. do you take the bus/mrt to work everyday? at morning and evening peak? if u tried, maybe, just maybe you can sniff the shit that the people put up with every bloody day, and that's why...

whether i'm being screwed over or not is irrelevant, making this personal is uncalled for...but not unexpected from your kind. but for the sake of argument, the high resale price does benefit existing home owners. but these guys are going to have kids one day, and their kids will be faced with...

we pay $600m in maid's levy, a billion in tobacco tax, a few million here for TV license, a few million there for radio license in car etc etc... sure we don't pay 40% income tax, but add in all the license fees etc, we might be getting close to that. And playing "Robbing Hood" has been one...

because our fellow citizens don't have the balls to vote against them

you and your kind are nothing but bloody hate mongers. dark times come to us because you sick people suffer from xenophobia and still feel proud about it. sick and disgusting.

dei, the hate your spewing isn't helping to change anything. its just voyuerism plain and simple. hot young chick gets shot to bits, and everyone suddenly gets interested. only fools will call the terrorists cowards

fren, you've hit the nail on the head. any government is a reflection of the citizenry, and our "world class gov" is in truth, as moronic as the morons who voted them in. the 66% majority will remain as morons for a long time to come and the minority have 2 choices: 1. yield to the morons...

1. you said the PRCs will support the tax base here. if the first 20k of income tax is not taxed, and most of these PRCs are earning 1.5k/mth, how much can they possibly contribute? and since they save more than they spend, how much tax can they contribute via GST? 2. if s'poreans are not...

i have no faith in our fellow sinkies... we'll be forced to suffer another 5 'golden years' if GE is called tomorrow. =P

wah bro, you're in the shits, but at least you recognize that. i think u spotted ur own problem already... u take yourself too seriously, try to be what you are not, and end up giving urself more stress. maybe its not that your wife cannot accept you for who you are, but rather that you...

sorry fren, if you read lky's memoirs and speeches carefully, you'll see that his one and only interest is to remain in power, everything else is a by product of this desire. doing what is 'best for singapore' insofar as it helps to keep them in power. driven by this self interest, their...

he is only following the orders of his masters. they will open GS table, sit down, have long meeting then say "ok clinton, you act like a dumb ass dog today" occasionally he will throw in some red herrings to appear like a dumb ass to hide the fact that he's a got a whole team of advisers...
