Kinana, Kanina... whatever...

There was a time long long ago, people could make a very good living and see their kids through college with insurance jobs. Those days are long gone.

It's a numbers game. For every 9 dud, you get one good guy/gal.

Financial advisors are cheap or practically free to employ. Each one that comes through the door comes with practically infinite ROI. So of course all such insurance agencies would be keen and ready to "employ" these free tabours. I think most minimally street smart knows how this works.

I got no degree... wasted first 15 years of my life after NS. Now I'm doing well enough, although I do not want to reveal what I do for a living for privacy reasons. A lot of people think just because they have a university degree, for that matter 2nd class honours or above, or better still...

If what we are having now is considered democracy, then it's thanks, but no thanks! Frankly I no longer care whether we are a democracy or a communist country. What's good about a fake democracy where most of us are nothing but little cogs in the economy working for the benefit of a privileged...

It is / has already wrecked Singapore...

Buying JB or Overseas Properties with MOP not yet expired There's a requirement for HDB flat dwellers to satisfy the MOP (Minimum Occupational Period) of 5 years before they can purchase a private property whether local or overseas. I wonder what is the chance that one gets caught for...

I guess only those who are car owners can answer the question as to whether a car is a boon or bane to one's quality of life. For me having a car give me an uncanny sort of freedom. I can easily go to places where public transport can't reach, at times where public transport is not...

I'm all of the above, but I'm not available :D

Fruits of economic growth does not filter down to the poor, for that matter, not much goes to the middle income. That is why the income inequality in Singapore is so unsatisfactory. The fundamental problem is ageing population, brought about by low birth rates. The root of the issue is the...

They had seen better days, this is not been one of those.... RIP!

Not everybody desires an SUV... WP has to be very good or work at being the best at one segment. When a party tries to please everybody by catering to every possible market segment, it end up becoming a dismal failure. In politics as in marketing, you can't please everybody.

I think WP has wisely positioned itself as a moderate opposition party, and this has been proven to work very well. There is absolutely no reason to expect WP to degenerate into a radical party that oppose everything that PAP throws out. Doing so would be foolish and risk alienating their gains...

Are you even a parent yourself, before you rattle on about parental responsibility? What do you know about parenting?

In a way you are right. But this being a BE, it serves as a slap to PAP, for the high COE, population increase, lousy public transport, high cost of living. And the slap is delivered by the largely ignored sandwiched class, which most of us belongs to. That is why the huge vote swing is so...

What's note worthy is that even the PM himself, asking the people to "vote for what they believe in", as well as "vote for PAP if they are happy with what PAP has done". What he has said cuts both ways, and maybe cut PAP deeper than he might have intended. Not wanting to jinx the WP's campaign...

I think he is seriously delusional if he thought a job placement centre is the ticket to solving employment problem. He has missed the big picture in that there is an over influx of foreigners taking away jobs that pays decently. The job placement centre only try to match jobless sinkies to jobs...

Democracy is not about having the rights to vote per se. People don't want many choice, they need voice. For those WP detractors, do bear in mind WP do not oppose for the sake of opposing. They strive to be constructive and do speak up on things that matters, for the best interest of the...

There's a Chinese saying: 识时务者为俊杰. Which means a wise man should be able to understand the times and put his allegiance and dedication towards the right cause. Desmond Lim is sincere and hardworking, and I'm not going to cast doubt on the amount of unseen sacrifices he has put in for Punggol...
