Yes, I agreed the whole fiasco was deliberately planned to coincide with Secretary Clinton visit to China. Mr Chen is not alone in planning this whole stuff either. There is a concerted well funded and organised group of Christian NGOs such as ChinaAid which executed this to shame the Chinese...

While it is sad that innocent Christians are being persecuted for their faiths, some of the christians themselves are doing the same thing to innocent non-christian people who do not share the Christian faith...mainly in Buddhist,confucianist societies who are very tolerant and endure the...

She is a talent musician, stays in Switzerland and can speaks Hokkien...wow, cool !

Exactly, the US and the West wants the collapse of North Korea so that China has no allies on her eastern flank. India is a counter balance to an emerging China and a Indian missile meant purely to attack the whole of China is a god-send to the United States who is also busily arousing the...

Yes, the Christians esp from those mega churches sadly do subscribe to a belief that are totally similar to folklore Taoist beliefs. They pray for tangible results and one even said going to her church on sunday will help her win toto. One cousin was attract to a mega church when her collegues...

The failure of the North's rocket launch indicated serious flaws in the rocket technologies that the North thought it can master easily. As reported by the world media, it crashes just a few minutes after it was launched. This is an embarassment to the DPRK. However, besides the north, the...

I'm not sure, my brother's gf brought a Samsung Galaxy from one of the Singtel shop and from day 1 have been complaining about faults such as auto shut-off and laggy. Another friend influenced by Samsung's overpowering advertisement brought a Samsung mobile and was not very satisfy with it...

Thanks to all people here who share their own stories of life here in Koo Chye Par. I was only a young kid when i remembered visiting few of the villagers with my grandpa. I also remember the Koo chye pa temple and the wayang stage. My grandpa make it a point to bring us to temples to join in...

I think to sneak in to attack them when they are alone and then ran away may not always work. In the Afghanistan case,the Talibans thought they can a easy kill with tjr lone Gurkha only to see half of them dead n the Gurkha still standing. Moreover,even by non Gurkha standard,to sneak n...

Yes, exactly. I remember my grandpa mentioned about Koo Chye Pa and Lim Teck bu/Kim Chuan Road when he told us stories of the Gurkhas in the 1960s. In fact he always mentioned about the temple call Seng Ong Gong in Koo Chye Pa where he always frequent. If i amnot wrong, the temple shifted to...

Yes, its Gurkhas if they are in the British army. I don;t think it can be rightly said of those in India or elsewhere. The Gurkha Contingent in Spore, Brunei and HK were all from the British Army. I bet British special training and their stringent recruitment criteria play a very important...

Yes,they are mercaneries in that sense. However the british was surprised that the Gurkhas as mercaneries show such extreme loyalty,bravery n arent afraid to die. During ww2,they were the only soldiers who didnt want to surrender or recruited into the National Indian army by the Japanese...

No, the Gurkhas came from the highland in Nepal. They are not from Myanmar. In the 1962 war, the Indian troops are mostly Sikh troops with just a few of the Gurkhas.

I agreed. I think being born in a martial race as the Gurkhas means, from young they are trained in fighting skills especially in using their Kukri, a short extremely sharp dagger. They were living in the high attitude and dangers taught them martial skills, especially in fighting off intruders...

I was talking to a friend recently about the influx of foreigners in our country and how they affect his daughter's job prospect after her poly education..immediately my friend pointed to the Bangla/Indian & Chinese workers walking by their construction sites...and said " you see, so many...

Yes, I agreed too. They are quite well-respected for their fighting skill, dare to die attitude and fierce loyalty not only in Spore, but also in HK, Brunei and Malaysia. The Brunei Sultanate also employ them as security forces( police and army) based in the inner circle of the Royal family as...

I think people have wrong impression that Gurkhas are kelings which is not.The Gurkhas belongs to the Mongoloid race along with the chinese,Japanese. Many are as fair as the chinese with straight hair ( see the video of the Gurkhas that fought thr Talibans)r. The kelings according to locals here...

Yes,in the early days, the Chinese secret societies were afraid of these gurkhas in "ang chias'..even the communist guerillas gave them a wide berth. They were summoned to catch the Indonesian marines during Confrontasi in which the Gurkhas were able to arrested several Indonesian bombers who...

In my sec school, my class has a total of 6 gurkhas classmate in Upper Aljunied Sec School. They were all quite well-behaved and generally friendly although they weren't the smartest in the class. They were very fit and I used to pace in running with them until i gave up. They would laugh and...
