I find that the average Malay SGrean is much more friendly than the average Chinese SGrean and more willing to share whatever he has with strangers. I am not sure if this is due to their minority status here or whether it is due to perception that the country really belongs to them or due to...

Based on hindsight from the last election, my advice would be for the opposition to focus on a few key issues (e.g. FT, CPF, HDB, Ministers' pay, etc). They should expound on the flaws of the current policies and elaborate on how they intend to handle these issues. Releasing a manifesto is too...

Found one from Eric Moo. <object style="height: 344px; width: 425px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/l7QsAadOO3c"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/l7QsAadOO3c"...

The power companies form the generation segment of the power industry. A power generator may or may not be a power retailer. If they are purely power generators, then their sole responsibility is to generate sufficient power to meet the demands of the energy market, which is managed/regulated by...

Firstly, it was not LKY who steered SG to prosperity, much credit should go to the Dutch man, Albert Winsemius. I can understand exactly how you felt. When I first started work, I worked in a Stat Board and so was my dad then. I was then enamoured with PAP. When I found out that my dad voted...

If you have already picked up Hokkien, why do you still need to learn it? I believe what you picked up were the swear words. It is a shame that Hokkien was relegated to being used only by those who are not very educated but I can assure you that there is more to it than just the swear words.

Really jialat, now the whole world treats SG as a giant ATM because they see we can afford to pay our politicians sky-high salaries. They know Singaporeans will still pay up after complaining a lot.

LKY was also doubly bitter as he faced much discrimination in UK. He knew the only way he could ever amount to anything was to be in SG but he was bitter about the small size of SG and its lack of resources. That bitterness was reflected in his treatment of the locals whom he secretly despised...

No, it is inappropriate only if you use up an entire box at one go. :eek:

欲加之罪, 何患无词 - It is easy to find fault with someone, the only question is how to get him punished for it.

My take is that due to the accelerating increases in past bids, FIFA has come to rely on milking SG as a cash cow. They know that in SG, prices will always keep increasing (and by ever greater amounts) and never come down. Just look at how the country pays its leaders and you get the idea...

You have quite a huge chip on your shoulder. I was in no way condescending. As you yourself have said, the majority may not understand your problems, you should have the initiative to elucidate on those problems to help yourself rather than waiting for others to figure out that you feel upset...

I said he was right in his book title, I did not say I trust him. I trust no politician. I judge them based on whether their actions match their words.

My point is that the faultlines existed way before SG became independent. They were just brought to the forefront because we were no longer a colony and the different segments of society needed to come together. If you were to look at those newly-minted angmo countries (i.e. those not in...

Sadly, although English is my first language, I belong to the Singlish generation. I don't see how you can equate loving Chinese songs and preferring to use one's mother tongue (in my case, my dialect was replaced by Mandarin) during social gatherings to being Chinese educated. Unless you are...

Very nice catchy tune (somehow reminds me of Chinese New Year). Thanks for sharing.

Specialisation is a relative term. If you allow any doctor to work in SG, soon you may find that GP skills are not that rare. Although I agree with you that there is a difference between "temps" (strangely, their contracts seem to get extended every time until the next economic slowdown) and...
