Is that the best he can say? To claim Sylvia's queries to be simplistic without doing a proper study to gather the real impact foreign workers have on the wages of Singaporeans in the bottom 20% of the income bracket. I still fail to rational how the presence of foreign workers working in that...

are you being cynical? ;)

Wow this is so cool. Wonder what the PAP counter attack will be. Since they are opening up the political scene now, we can expect their first blow anytime soon. Be on standby guys. Good luck !!

It is best for businessman because every worker here sings one song, "CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP!!!" You are really an idiot when it comes to employer-employee relations.

Your claim is unwarranted because it has not been proven. The SDP has not govern Singapore. So how the hell can you foretell that it will bring Singapore to the dark ages? The countries around the world which are vocally fighting for human rights and democracy are also among the most prosperous...

The rise of the Golden Age for Singapore-Malaysia relations. The demise of racial politics from both sides of the causeway and humanity working for the common good. UMNO-PAP relationship has always been based on distrust and the feeding of fear on their respective population. It is...

From among true, blue Singaporeans who feel eased out of the country by foreigners. By redbean. Aug 12, 2008 The unhealthy disquiet Is there a disquiet among Singaporeans? We have 4.6m people here. The Singaporeans do not include the more than 1m foreigners. It does not include the...

A cynical write-up on the growing separation in society. By XenoBoy. Aug 12, 2008 Why They Like Singapore There are some Singaporeans who like Singapore. They belong to that sacred convenant of Singaporeans who have the most freedom in this island state. Well-schooled through the...

I think you got it wrong. NMP are nominated by the PAP. NCMP are the best loser in elections. The current NCMP is Sylvia Lim. It makes no difference if issues are brought up by NMP or PAP where one actually represents the other.

SDP seems to be more smarter than I thought. They displayed a strong libertarian/socialism agenda in their policies. If more Singaporeans understand what SDP stands for, it will spell doom for the PAP. I think their policy will really appeal to the majority of the voters.The overwhelming...

Its already broken. There is no turning back the clock. Change ,YES YOU CAN!!!

Younger Singaporeans are absolutely right in wanting change. The electorate of the future are more smarter than the previous generation who behave as if PAP owes them a living. I am very hopeful for the future. This is a country after all and no "Singaporean" should be 2nd Class citizens. PAP...

I agree with you about that though. Minorities in Singapore seem to be the most protected in the world. I doubt anyone of them can claim to be physically or verbally harassed in the street. The goverment takes a very hard stand against racist actions. As to the person who wants the national...

Originally written by Alfian Saat March 2002 I had recently written to the artscommunity e-group saying that I was willing to hold creative writing workshops, but only for "indigenous Singaporeans". Somebody asked the obvious, and this is my reply. The Racist's Apology...

GEORGIA, a tiny republic of the former Soviet Union but openly seeking charter status within the American-European bloc, has been pounded by Russia in the past week in fighting over rebel territory. Georgian forces which had moved in last week to reclaim seceding South Ossetia from a form of...

1)PAP cease to be the government of the day. 2)Economic union with Malaysia and Indonesia. 3)35 hour work week 4)Guaranteed pension at 65 5)Abolish NS

Till the Malays realise that they are the 'real majority' in this part of the world, they will always have this minority syndrome ingrained in them. Where else in the world can you be a majority race just by crossing the bridge.

Our country's high income seems to be neutralized by the high cost of living. Simple understanding of economics will tell you that importing large numbers of foreigners from poor countries will inevitably pulls down the wages of the local populace. The growing number of people will pull up the...

You are absolutely wrong about the foreigners taking up permanent residents here. FYI, majority of them decline citizenship. Most FTs have set their sight on a bigger ship like USA, Australia or Canada. Singapore is just a transit point for them. To assume the new citizens will be grateful to...

Who gave you the authority to tell us what to think and say. There is freedom to express our views here. If you cannot take the heat, you are free to leave the forum. It is very clear more Singaporeans are growing disenchanted with the PAP and their governance. You are fighting a losing cause...
