Does getting rich through scams count as motivation? Take Madoff for example. There are plenty of such "motivated" people around but many are never caught or they declare bankrupt and can't/won't repay a single cent they defrauded. I am not against social welfare. It is just that it is...

I have posted something here. Up to you to engage the PAP and opposition parties on their election platforms. This would probably be better than constantly scolding the Chinese.

Re: Retail Operations Manager wanted - for S'pore PR holders only, S'porean go fuck o Yes, everyone is a racist in some way. Even if the entire population is of one race, there will always be one segment discriminating against another segment. It just so happens that race is the easiest tool...

This surely qualifies as the joke of the year. The ministers can't even recognise a scam when it is delivered to them on a silver platter (e.g. SWFs losing billions of dollars and town councils losing $$$ in Lehman Bros minibonds) nor do they have any inkling of the economic downturn coming...

I agree but I would think the government bears a heavy responsibility for not carrying out nation building properly. The mantra of the government has always been $$$ first and nothing else matters much. They paid only perfunctory attention to race relations and their topmost concern was just to...

If you take a step back and look at the issue calmly, you may see that there is merit for the minorities to learn Mandarin. Certainly, they should not give up their mother tongue for the sake of learning a new language. What I am saying is that if someone of a minority race learns Mandarin, it...

Re: Retail Operations Manager wanted - for S'pore PR holders only, S'porean go fuck o Sometimes I think that those racist posts are started by PAP supporters to sidetrack on the issues. Sure, SG may not have handled race issues as well as it could have but whose fault was it? It still points to...

Wow, now you are saying you can decide on what is or what is not a barrier.

And why should this barrier be there? Who decides how high to set this barrier? Are you withdrawing your statement about the government not putting up artificial barriers?

Lol, that is a good retort. I think a plane ride takes just a fraction of the time it took for our ancestors to make the trip to SG in their time. Besides, with modern technology, keeping in touch has never been easier and will get increasingly more convenient.

Re: Video clip urging Singaporeans to vote out PAP making waves in Singapore’s blogos You have a real tendency to go out of point. Please answer my questions first before you go off on a tangent again. How many of those who spoke up are working in Govt, Stat Boards or GLCs? As I have...

Hopefully, some kind soul who has a copy of the video (or screenshot of it on Youtube) will go and make a police report as well. We will then see what he has to say.

Really? Why then are they scared of even just one person holding a sign protesting about a policy? Prosecuting someone doing this is not a barrier? Raising election deposit to $13K is not a barrier? The only barrier they lowered was the qualifications needed to work in SG.

It depends on the balance of power. If everyone wants to make $$$ at all costs (even if it means trampling on others), then everything is fine and everyone is happy. When enough people start questioning why they need to follow this mentality, things will change as long as the government does not...

Re: Video clip urging Singaporeans to vote out PAP making waves in Singapore’s blogos This is your own elite point of view. You seem to think that people can't differentiate between BS and something that has an ounce of truth. What exactly constitutes messing with domestic affairs? If a...

And where did most Singaporean Chinese come from? Believe it or not, the theory is that most of them originated from northern China almost 2000 years ago. Check out this link. 衣冠南渡

Re: Video clip urging Singaporeans to vote out PAP making waves in Singapore’s blogos No one disallowed FTs from praising PAP to the high heavens as long as they are prepared to get criticised for it. It is the old man who said it is not ok for foreigners to interfere in domestic...

Re: Video clip urging Singaporeans to vote out PAP making waves in Singapore’s blogos Does it matter who is the one commenting? If it strikes a chord with you, there must be some truth to it. If not, what is there to fear as the comments would just be ignored by most. So what if he/she is an...

Everyone is entitled to choose not to work on weekends to spend time with their families (barring certain critical essential services). If the business owner can't get workers to work on weekends, he should get his family members to fill in. If he can't get family members to fill in, he should...

It is all hogwash. Everything depends on the insulted party. If the insulted party is the type who takes things very seriously and is likely to turn it into acts of violence, then the law must be seen to act harshly on the accused. If the insulted party is like guniang and does not kick up a...
