Looks like there are some China companies who are also looking to recruit Singapore FTs. The flow of FT influx works both ways. In Singapore, bosses feel that they need more China FTs due to them being 'cheaper, better, faster'. In China, apparently they think that their own locals cannot...

36 years is more than enough time to develop a successor. This will remain as the one gaping hole in Chiam's legacy. He has failed to develop a successor. Others, especially LTK, have made it a top priority from day one. Low has fresh blood in his party and is already taking a back seat...

Tony Tan is the fake President. With only 35.2% of the votes he has totally no moral authority to serve as President. Can you imagine ANY President in the world who only managed to win 35.2% of the votes? Moreover, thanks to his son's infamous NS escapade, he has no moral authority to tell other...

It is not as if Tony needs the salary. The man is filthy rich. How many donkey years was he drawing ministers/DPMs pay, plus pension, plus GIC chairman's pay, plus SPH chairman's pay, plus he is also a scion of a rich banking clan. How greedy can a guy get?

WHat a moron, I can't believe this guy is even being considered as a potential PM.

It is acceptable to pay Generals and Admirals well. It is however NOT acceptable to appoint Generals and Admirals based on their academic qualifications, with massive weightage on their results in an examination that they took at age 18. It is far more important to consider other qualities...

It seems like Ferguson and Rooney are at loggerheads now. Rooney was caught going out to dinner on Boxing Day (??) and was dropped by Ferguson for the Blackburn game and also fined one weeks' salary. I am not exactly sure why he deserves such a punishment for going out to dinner, it was not as...

It looks like Lampard is dulan with the management and feels as though he should not be a sacrificial lamb / scapegoat. I actually wonder why he is often dropped, because he actually plays well despite being 33. Drogba on the other hand hardly does anything useful apart from the Newcastle and...

After losing 2-3 at home to the bottom team in the league (Blackburn), they went on to lose 0-3 to Newcastle? Losing to Blackburn was horrible on many levels. First, they actually fought back from 0-2 down to equalise. When you do that, normally the opponent will be mentally crushed and the...

It's funny that AVB demanded that his players run to the touchline and celebrate with the coaching staff after scoring goals. Notice that Ramires, after scoring against Wolves, ran to the touchline along with all the Spanish/Portuguese/Brazilian players to do precisely that. However when Frank...

The only SAF personnel who is a true blue professional soldier is Colonel Lo Yong Poo, former CO of SISPEC and Commander of BMTC. He was one of the heroes in the SQ hijacking incident, as he was one of the SOF commandoes who eliminated the terrorists and salvaged the situation. Unfortunately...

When I made the decision to join politics in 2006, pay was not a key factor. Loss of privacy, public scrutiny on myself and my family and loss of personal time were. The disruption to my career was also an important consideration. I had some ground to believe that my family would not suffer a...

Now that Lui Tuck Yew is only earning $1.1m, he has no dignity to talk to Saw Phaik Hwa who earns $1.8m!! She does not need to listen to him now because she earns 70% more than him!!!

There is no point if you cut their pay by 36% but give them transportation/expense allowance of 40% Let's wait and see whether this is real or just a wayang And I agree that those appointed before May 2011 must also be made to return a portion of their pay

Are WP MPs going to be subject to the pay cut too? Can someone share how much pay cut they are getting? The PM himself is getting a 36% pay cut and the President, around 50%..

Looks like the two posts that are hardest-hit will be the President and the Speaker of Parliament. Both of which are ceremonial posts anyway. The President getting $4m is obscene. Now let's see if TT will want to continue was President.

The coffee shop business is a good business to get involved in It's very very worthwhile to invest in a coffee shop, IF you can find one WIth normal real estate rental yields, especially high end condos, you would be lucky to get 3.5 to 4% p.a. but with a coffee shop you could be looking...

Re: PAP Indranee Rajah sexpose and whack resident who ask for handout..KNNB CHAO CHEE I agree that the PAP's cronyism and nepotism is not to be tolerated and it is disgusting and unacceptable. However, the fact remains that welfare is something that is open to abuse and WILL be abused if...

True, but his team mates do not seem to have a problem with him (John Terry). He is often praised for his outstanding leadership qualities. It was rumoured that he and Drogba were behind the sacking of Scolari. All professional footballers have serious problems. They come from working class...

I believe SPH was claiming at the time that LHL was the world's youngest general since Napoleon. However his record has since been eclipsed by Kim Jong Un who is 3 ranks higher than LHL.
