Come on, you are being very vindictive. Has it been established he was culpable for any part of the crime, even if he was not responsible for the killing? Besides, how do you know he was a willing party to the crime? Do you want to sentence to death everyone present at the crime scene other than...

Living standards = tangible material comforts like modern conveniences Quality of life = Intangible stuff like how much time you spend on leisure, opportunities to pursue your dreams, freedoms, rights, etc

I have always believed that living standards in Singapore is higher than in NZ but the quality of life in little red dot sucks like hell.

This is why death penalty should be abolished, period. Imagine if he was sentenced to death for the murder.

Re: Taiwan more 包青天, yet another wrongful imprisonment vindicated (rape murder charge Death penalty should be abolished. No one should have the right to kill another person except in self-defence or when having to save someone else's life. Two wrongs don't make a right.

NZ's income tax rates have been lowered in 2010 October. Refer to the following url for current income tax rates. http://www.ird.govt.nz/how-to/taxrates-codes/itaxsalaryandwage-incometaxrates.html

Oh come on, those that got away were able to do so because of their connections and/or social status, not because they were lucky. Imagine if the police were to catch and punish severely only poor people for their crimes and let the rich ones get off with just a slap on the wrists. Other than...

Your words are very true. In Singapore, I was always told to train for the job that pays the most, not the job that I love the most. After I left Singapore, I realised that when you do the job you love, you get to take your skills to a higher level and excel at the job. That will naturally lead...

You are making some pretty ridiculous assumptions here. 1) SG is doomed if PAP is allowed to hold on to power. 2) Everyone believes that SG is on the path of self-destruction. 3) Everyone's lives will be better off if PAP is voted out. 4) It is everyone's duty to vote opposition to save...

Re: Ah Seng fucked! MSK was in Tampines HDB, HUM-TEAM looked high & low spending $mil The first 48 hours are the most critical as that will be the time when he is going to need help. If you can't locate him after that, it is likely he has already received help. They should have conducted...

Re: M1 manager stole $2m to buy expensive cars, watches to make up for sexual inadequ I think it is time for me to upgrade myself. :D

KNN, the more I read, the more questions I have. I think there is a real need to set up an independent inquiry to answer the following questions. 1) How did Mas escape from a supposedly secure facility? Were there proper procedures and were these procedures being followed properly? 2) Why...

Re: Ah Seng fucked! MSK was in Tampines HDB, HUM-TEAM looked high & low spending $mil Looks like Mas has learnt the strategy of "The most dangerous place is the safest place" well.

Re: M1 manager stole $2m to buy expensive cars, watches to make up for sexual inadequ WTF? The Arowana and stingray are each worth way more than me. :eek:

$3 to $4 is a 33% increase, not 25%.

Precisely, not to mention that even people of the same faith are killing each other because they belong to different denominations of the faith. As I have said, diversity is not the cause of conflict, the desire for conflict is built into our genes, diversity or no diversity. The earlier we...

If everyone is of the same skin colour and spoke the same language, I will bet you anything that humankind will devise up another scheme to differentiate among the people. ;) Homogeneity will never be the solution to the problem of "scarce" resources. "Scarce" because not everyone agrees on the...

Yes, it is a very ancient language that hasn't changed much. But whatever the language, you will find that there will always be something lost when you translate it into another language, hence the term, lost in translation. This is especially so when terms with subtle differences are translated...

Middle-class is not equal to privileged background. My point is precisely that when the penalty for drug trafficking becomes very severe, only the desperate will be willing to take the risk. Those people that you mentioned may have gotten rich through drug trafficking. Someone who started off...

This is exactly why people have to speak up for what they believe in. If this outlet is denied to them, every single aspect of life will be dictated by the majority (it still stands to be proven whether it is the view of the majority, I suspect most are just blase because the issue has no...
