This is like saying, 'Please don't use Allah to refer to God in your Malay translation of the Christian Bible because the Malays will be confused by the name and convert to Christianity.' In Egypt and Lebanon, all Christians and Muslims use the word 'Allah' as a generic name to refer to God and...

But Singapore #1: richest country in the world, most expensive city in the world.

Some wise words from old fart:

Jensen Huang wasn't on the Beijing list. 16 CEOs invited. Tim Cook was on it. Jensen wasn't. Then Trump personally called him Tuesday. Overrode his own China hawks. Jensen flew to Anchorage. Boarded Air Force One on the refuel. Walked behind the President into Beijing. Nvidia added...

My 75-year-old god-uncle was goaded by the Polyclinic nurse into taking his 4th mRNA shot when he went there for his annual flu shot. Within 3 days he developed severe breathlessness and weakness and went to hospital where they diagnosed heart failure (<50% function) due to heart muscle...

Why didn't Vivian call Netanyahu to scold him for starting the bloody war in the first place? We are friends with Israel, so a little frankness shouldn't matter. At least Anwar had the balls to call the illegal US/Israel strikes on Iran biadab (barbaric).

This doctor got off with only a slap on the wrist: a fine and suspension of driving licence. Still practising. Doctor charged with offences including drink driving Christopher Chong is a director and shareholder at Chris Chong Clinic at the Gleneagles Annexe Block in Napier Road. Published...

Many Indians have internalized racism - looking down on their own kind. So marrying a woman from the dominant race gives them a leg up in society, so to speak. Plus the association of skin colour with social status is so ingrained in Indian culture, even for 3rd and 4th generation Indians here...

Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand What's going on? Are neocons having a come-to-Jesus moment? After Bob Kagan writing an article on how the U.S. is facing "total defeat" in Iran, you now have Max Boot - the very author of “The Case for American Empire” and one of the most vocal advocates for the...

The reason for the snub is clear. The US is fleeing the Pacific theatre.

Zhao Xintong won the World Championship last year. Wu Yize did it this year. A dozen young hungry Chinese snooker players waiting in the wings. On the other hand, the UK - motherland of snooker - does not even have one single world-calibre player coming up. All their top players are past 35 and...

If you have to put down someone to make yourself feel good, it means you're actually very insecure. Beneath all that braggardocio, @True Believer probably has an inferiority complex and a huge chip on his shoulder. Why, I don't know. Maybe he has a small dick.:laugh:

It's about Israel dominating the region in its quest to build Greater Israel.

Yes, many ACSians have the Peter Pan syndrome: they don't want to grow up, they want to permanently stay in their aborted schoolboy stage deriving their identity and sense of self-worth from their alma mater, circle jerking with each other about how great their school is. Many past middle age...

The ship was well-built. The crew were fucked up.

This woman's got balls. Kudos to her.

Uptron diploma in maritime management?
