I used to frequent the Ponderosa restaurant there (the salad buffet was fantastic). Now I think the entire chain is gone.

Too late, LKY has told the Japanese SG will forgo all compensation in return for some investments on all SGreans behalf. If I lived through a tragedy like that, I don't know if I will ever be able to forgive the Japanese. I wonder how he felt when he saw SG sucking up to the Japanese...

There is reason in what you say but there is also the flipside of the coin. As long as they did not renounce their SG citizenship, they may still return to live in SG one day. They should still have the right to decide what kind of SG they would like to return to. Unless they have never paid a...

I think many SG parents are clueless about the entertainment industry. In Taiwan, you will often see the mothers chaperone their children (yes, sometimes even those in their early twenties) for every assignment. Unless their children are working only as normal staff, i.e. those who do not need...

You seem to be very supportive of WC, are you a relative or do you have some ulterior motive? From the unfolding events, I think WC has shown that she is quite prepared to punish JN by going public on this. I believe she is capable of lodging charges herself if she wants to.

He is Minister for FOREIGNer Affairs. His job is to ensure that the foreigners are kept happy in SG. Since he has been doing a good job and the foreigners are not complaining, he is very free.

I believe the rulings can be applied to either party. Their laws do not just side the woman unilaterally. The man is able to apply for maintenance as well if the woman has been the breadwinner all along.

Why is there no analysis into why the defaults are rising? If one is struggling to even survive, would the threats be of any use? It is also my belief that it is the woman who initiates the divorce in most cases (I think there were some figures on this some time back). I predict that there...

This was meant to be referring to SG, not Taiwan.

A man's lifetime is only about 100 years. To cast judgement on something that may take several lifetimes to develop based on a maximum 30 years of observation would be premature. 十年树木, 百年树人 (it takes 10 years to cultivate trees but 100 years to cultivate people). Unless you have a scientific...

That is indeed strange. I distinctly remembered that there was a famous old man who declared publicly that you can get from one end of SG to another in 20 mins tops.

Somehow, I think if something like this had happened during the Beijing Olympics, you will never hear the end of it from the Western media.

All I want to say is if racism is only confined to your personal lives, then it is pretty much alright. As long as racism is not tolerated in public areas like employment, education, health, etc, I think that is fine. If people do not want to be friends with me because of my race, I don't really...

In actual fact, Taiwan is only a fledgling democracy with a history of less than 30 years. Many people forget that Taiwan was under military curfew until the mid 80s. Before that, there was no DPP to contest elections. The curfew was imposed due to threat of communist China and many civil...

And pray tell, who will be the one deciding what are the best interests of the nation? That is exactly why there is a need for the top to take responsibility first when shit happens. Because they have lost the moral high ground to claim they are staying on in the best interests of the nation...

It would seem as if age is a factor in this case. There is a reason why younger drivers have to pay higher insurance rates.

Actually, the theory is that almost all Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong came from the north almost 2000 years ago. Check the link here. I believe the Hakkas migrated into these areas much later and that is why they are known as 客家人 (guest people).

The term "honest mistake" means an error committed in good faith generally. But that doesn't mean it makes sense. If you made an error intentionally, is that still considered an error when you knew it was an error beforehand? Most people would understand that as cheating or lying. Just like...

No problems there, SGreans just love the feel of the spurs sticking into their hides. As the elites said, the people are of slave-stock and need to be treated as such. The only problem I have is that I am ashamed to admit I am from SG.

Are you sure? Those are probably man-boobs. :eek:
