I'm not a politician. I vote for a politician/political party to solve our society's issues and problems. Otherwise I might as well run for election myself and earn a $1 mil salary. Suggestions: 1. Do away with the COE system. No other advanced countries have it. Reduce the import tax and ARF...

Well, changing the ruling political party may address the issues you mentioned, if the new party is focussed on improving the lives of the masses, reducing the wealth gap and cost of living, instead of obssessing about GDP growth and funnelling wealth to the top 1%: - dismantling the COE system...

Ditto for the Roman Empire and the Mongol Empire (largest land empire in history). What goes up must come down. It's the cyclical law of the universe.

The soldiers preferred fair-skinned women. Some of the comfort women were from Philippines - the fairer ones with Chinese or Mestiza blood - and Indonesia - those with Dutch heritage. Today it's not politically correct to talk about comfort women in terms of skin colour, but the reality is that...

Japanese 35 years' colonization of Korea was brutal, partly because the Japs met with a lot of native resistance from the ethnocentric Koreans. To this day the comfort women issue still rankles with the Koeans. On the other hand the Japanese 50 years of colonization of Taiwan went swimmingly...

Yes, char siew came from GZ. And the best Canto food now comes from the trinity of GZ, Foshan and Shunde (where all the top chefs hail from). Very rare to find good char siew in Singapore. I've only tasted the one from Fei Fei in Yuhua that passes muster:

HK char siew the best. Beats Malaysia and Sg hands down. Malaysia char siew much better than Sg though, on the average. Just look a the dry anaemic slices that come with your typical won ton mee at the hawker centre.

We are living in a Chinese century, as LKY predicted.

Well said. You do not become a billionaire without exploiting others - your workers, forming monopolies, buying up your competitors, manipulating the stock market, exploiting tax avoidance loopholes. No amount of hard work or inventive creativity can justify Bill Gates's billions or Elon Musk's...

'But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the heathen lord it over them and that their great ones have absolute power? But it must not be so among you. No, whoever among you wants to be great must become the servant of you all, and if he wants to be first among you he...

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." ~Matthew 6:24

"For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” ~Luke 14:11

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." ~ Matthew 5:3

"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." - Matthew 19:24

Tell it to that ACSian snob and fake Christian, @True Believer. LOL.

Give their the Palestinians their own state with and return all the illegally settled lands and there will be no problem. Hamas will no longer find any support. Hamas is just an excuse used by the Israelis to decimate the entire Palestinian race and swallow up their territory.

Really. Fast food is the main reason why Malays are the most obese group in Singapore. Step into any fast food restaurant in Singapore or Malaysia and you'll see majority Malays. Chinese prefer to order from stalls in hawker centres or kopitiam. If I were to buy a fast food franchise, I'd make...

I won't say stupid. Businesses are in it for the profits. Malays might be a minority, but they're by far the biggest consumers of fast food - just look at the crowds in KFC and McDonald's and Burger King. That's why Subway caved in. Wok Hey went halal because they know that Malays take well to...

Agree it's a business decision. But it destroys traditional cuisine. I'm seeing Subway sandwiches with fake bacon and ham, Chinese fried rice with fake luncheon meat, Korean bimbimbap with no pork, Pizza Hut pepperoni without pork, bak chor mee with minced chicken instead of pork, Penang char...
