If you put it that way, then people at the top will never be accountable or responsible for anything since their decisions will always be carried out by those below them. Finding someone else to take over should never be a consideration when accountability is at stake. If you want another...

Why does SG still have a serving minister who let a dangerous terrorist escape on his watch? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10628440&pnum=0 I wouldn't have sacked Heatley - PM By Derek Cheng Updated 1:27 PM Thursday Feb 25, 2010 Prime Minister John Key...

Why no one mentioned "Honest Mistake"? Another honest mistake? Have you ever made a dishonest mistake before? If I did, I would be calling it a fraud, not a mistake.

Sorry to sidetrack this topic. But boss, you said in the post that you allow sexually explicit stuff in the other forum leh. If you have nothing to do with that forum, that statement seems to be a contradiction. ;) Not trying to grill you but just a friendly reminder to watch out for...

Err, is the site which you claimed ownership of in the post below considered porn? Or are you just facilitating the conduct of a particular line of business? :D http://www.singsupplies.com/showpost.php?p=357442&postcount=17 por·nog·ra·phy n. 1. Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other...

The only 诛十族 (executing 10 family branches, usually it is only up to 9) in Chinese history - 方孝儒. Possibly the reason why the capital of China was shifted to Beijing during the Ming dynasty.

That is LKY's legacy. He knows what is good for you better than you yourself and he prefers to be feared rather than loved (I can't fault him for the latter view). His views may be accepted wholesale when the population was a lot less educated but not only are they unacceptable today, they are...

There is actually no racism, it is just group selfishness because there is strength in numbers. You will find almost every young child is not a racist but it is extremely hard to find one who will share his toys willingly. Racism is just a more evolved form of selfishness, same with all other...

Try living in a first-world country. You will find almost all non-essential shops closed on Sundays or operating on restricted hours (yes, even those operated by Asians). Why do these countries have government-sanctioned rules like this? It is because they believe everyone should be entitled to...

You will be surprised at how many SGreans have never lived outside of SG by themselves for more than 2 weeks (not counting NS because with NS, you are still accompanied by familiar faces).

I put it to you that as a tiny island with NS and single citizenship, SG is fast becoming a death trap (for many of those who are not contemplating migrating). I don't know about others but I post here because I see this danger and I want to warn SGreans not to just be engrossed with living from...

From my conversations with many people, I will tell you straight off that SG is nowehere near the top of their list of choice work locations. It is only when they can't find good jobs in cities like New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, etc that they start looking at SG. That does not mean...

Precisely. Maybe twenty years ago, it would have been alright to tie yourself to this tiny piece of island perpetually for your whole life. But now, the mere idea is ridiculous and suicidal. With the huge population, there is no way the island can be turned into some tropical paradise where the...

Just wanted to inform SGreans of what I have been observing. In the past, people tend to stick to one job and lived in one country for most of their lives. Then came the age when people would job-hop for better conditions. Recently, the trend of people moving from country to country is...

She forgets that the lush green equatorial landscape (I seem to feel more like I am in a concrete jungle in most parts of SG, so I wonder where she got this idea) comes with the horrible weather as well. Unless she lives in air-conditioned comfort 24/7, the experience is like a living hell to...

You only get treated as second-class if you allow yourself to be treated as second-class, like in SG, where the stupid allow themselves to be trampled on by those just slightly less stupid. The elite has a vested interest in dumbing down the locals, hence the need to control the various media...

I find that very hard to believe. :D I don't think the PAP government has been particularly kind to small business owners and the little guys, to put it mildly. Besides, the people don't just vote for the government to provide opportunities, they also expect the government to provide their...

Ah Sam, haven't you done crazy things when you were young? Even for the 20+, they can still be playing pranks, just think of those undergrads at university. Even if he knew that this was serious business, a person at that age could be easily influenced by many factors. In this day and age...

Re: New Zealand invitation for Singaporeans Not totally true. It is also very desirable to attract the 30s, 40s and 50s who can invest large amounts of money into the economy. For those who are not rich, if they have young children and/or marketable skills, that is desirable as well. But the...

Re: New Zealand invitation for Singaporeans What an irony! This must be the only time when the term Singaporean means citizens only and not citizens + PRs. :)
