Kim Jong Il was at least in his 50s before he took over as supreme leader. I suspect there might be a coup (funded by CIA) once Kim passes.

One suggestion: Take your head out from the sand. How do you intend this party made up of overseas Singaporeans to connect with those that are rooted here? And will you force them to repay the CPF they withdrew with interest?

Yes. We must give credit where credit is due. They could have buried this story and waited for all the money to be recovered. But this case is a warning to all in the service that more eyes will be watching and favoritism in the tender process will not be tolerated.

Perhaps someone was sitting on the tickets intentionally?

"real" is subjective. Example, in the 80s, the Singapore organization of seamen (under NTUC) saved many jobs through grants, re-training and manpower deployment changes. A union is not there to ensure you wages go up and up. If need be, their role is to negotiate wage freezes to prevent lay-offs.

As we all have. To deny that is to deny our humanity.

Union actions involving strikes that threaten the functioning of critical industries in Singapore is obviously a no-no. Ok sorry. Not independent but affiliated.

The role of the union is to engage in negotiation of employment contracts and benefits using collective bargaining as leverage. They are not there to match you with jobs.

And Chee Soon Juan is dying to become an ISA martyr. But the PAP will not give him that pleasure. :)

Is that avatar really your photo?

NTUC is not the only labour union in Singapore. There are independent ones.

If i were to un-bold certain words, would they stand out from all the bolded words? Some forummers like to use larger red fonts and i get harassed for bolded fonts. Your actions are in itself an example of conditioning. By constantly choosing to highlight how using bold does not make my...

What happened to free markets? The SDP wants to force you to except one of the first three jobs you are offered? So if you are an engineer earning $3000 a month and was recently retrenched, you have to except any job that comes your way? Even if its at the proposed minimum wage of $6.50 an hr...

Yes. And TOC has sensationalize it make the reader focus on the $30 intial fine and not the compounded amount. This makes them no better than TR.

Instead, many Singaporeans are becoming victims of their own shortcomings. The inability to succeed in this society then leads them to believe that every woe and misfortune in their lives originates from the PAP. In the above scenario, we start to romanticize any opponents of the PAP. Francis...

A good idea in spirit but politcal suicide in action. Even Obama would never dare go up against the Tobacco Lobby. The Tabacco industry is similar to the Casino industry in Singpaore. The government do without them, nor can they be seen to promote them.

In that same breath would you say all private sector workers are Opposition loyalists?

------------------- KJ (Kenneth Jeyaretnam) - “I deleted a couple of uncalled for remarks -gives the opposition a bad name. Be glad I'm here in Poland and Berlin earlier in the month. I'm honoured to be invited. Anyone who feels the rationale behind my invitation was flawed can...

Its obviously a preemptive measure by the SDP to have a vessel to contest in the next Election. With almost the entire SDP CEC bankrupt or unable to meet the election criteria, they hope Singaporeans will vote in Seelan Palay and his Girlfriends as representatives for the SDP.

The Wet Market concept has inefficiencies that offset its benefits. Stallholders pay low rental to open less than half a day and it remains empty for the rest of the day. In land scarce Singapore, such an inefficient use of land is unjustifiable.
