Re: MP Irene Ng calls for boycott of Indon palm oil companies Courageous yes, ignorance nevertheless.

Poor should never be given money just like that. Poverty is a trap, and the more handouts given, the deeper the trap. I totally hated the idea of Robin Hood economy where the rich and middle class are taxed to subsidise handouts to the poor. Govt should take away money from frivolous...

He did, by increasing GST to 7%. Hope he won't ever help the poor by robbing the masses.

This no 1 left behind idea has actually been achieved, but not quite the way you expect. It's been achieved by making it almost impossible for the large majority in the middle to move up the social economic ladder, by hammering them with high cost of living and stagnant earnings. As a result...

The last time they wanted to help the poor, GST was raised to 7%. But ever since GST was increased, how was the poor helped? They still exist in our society. Then there's the emergence of the new poor, people who are not under the poverty line and not getting any help from the Govt, but are...

Because the ash could get blown into the face of passing motorist especially people on bikes. Further the cigarette butts are likely to to be flicked out into the passing traffic becoming a hazard to other road users. Frankly I have rarely come across a smoker who is a considerate person. I...

Most men don't really bother about personal grooming, and they have an overly high regard of themselves. Like a certain somebody who claims to have Middle Eastern roots and better looking than the average sinkie. As long as there's no photographic evidence and independent third party to verify...

I would go forward and shake their hands, and tell them how much I support PAP and how their policies have been good to Singapore. I'll ask them to keep up what they have been doing so well over the years. In 2016, I'll still vote against them as always.

People who are "the best people for the job and these are jobs where you make decisions which are worth billions of dollars".... hmmm... that troubles me no end. We have people who screw up time and again, that's what I know for a fact. We have housing that we can barely afford. We have...

As long as they keep importing Fake Talents, they can forget about Kampung Spirit. It will never happen.

I am not concerned about such things at all, because I am doing well in life. But I still belief a single party PAP government is bad for Singapore's future.

As long as PAP has not loss their power, it does not hurt me to be labelled as ball-less. I have done my part with my pathetic one vote. I feel and share the shame of not being able to change things for the better. I really do not mind be called ball-less... we earned it collectively, by being...

Only poor losers who do not own a car, or can only own a lousy cheapo car fail to understand. I drive a pretty nice car, which although no where as nice as the Rolls Royce, I can well understanding the mindset of the RR owner. And there have been quite a few occasions that I rather risk...

Locals who are able to hold their own in banking sectors back it up with results, not hot air. As to your claims that locals are "unproductive, uncreative, lazy and arrogant", banking sector doesn't work like a farm or a factory; further, there is little room for creativity because it's...

Re: Despite Outcry, Yaboob Tightened Censorship Further. Broadcasting Act to be WIDEN Let him continue on his futile attempts to control the internet. I hope he tries to blackout the alternative media and strictly control everything so the people would only have access to the "right thing". I...

Quite true. But that doesn't mean that Sinkies cannot make it. Like in Citi, it was 80% ABNN nation (my guesstimate) because of the management. Also there are some areas - e.g. IT where Sinkies simply never had the chance to be exposed to the skill set. However there are other areas like...

There's difference between one's nationality and one's identity. I'm a Singaporean by birth, but I do not feel identified as a Singaporean. There are short burst of pride on occasions, like when WP wins their first GRC and two by elections, when I attend their rally and I see my fellow...

There's a very good reason financial advisers a friendly. They would be more so if they know you intend to buy unit trusts. If a person has a heart at all, he/she would not join the industry in scamming innocent and clueless peasants.

So far I have never heard of anybody who get wealthy "investing" in unit trusts. It is supposed to be a relatively safe investments, but by the time the shiny brochure is printed and presented to the clients by glorified insurance agents, whatever upside for the instruments have already been...

Dude, you know that and I know that.... unfortunately he doesn't know that and think he is Mr Know-it-all. After a while it sort of become a misconception that Sinkies are a bunch of useless losers. Even the term Sinkie has been given to us. There are Sinkies who are definitely not sinking, but...
