    Can someone who became another country's Citizen come back to Singapore?

    Singapore's NS policies are truly outdated. It may have been relevant decades ago but now it is archaic. Years ago, people were not very mobile and borders were tightly controlled. There is also no other place quite like Singapore. Today, most people have the means to uproot to another country...

    Common Sense whilst travelling abroad

    Don't underestimate the forces of nature. Living in Singapore means you haven't seen anything yet. Ignorance and inadequate preparation can kill.

    No more automatic death penalty; one big step forward for Singapore.

    Re: Death penalty no longer automatic for some offences: DPM Teo Looks like Singapore is finally taking a step in the right direction. Death sentence is barbaric. Killing is wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right. Before anyone jumps in to ask how would I feel if the criminal murdered my family...

    Anyone here involved in buying apartments in Auckland? Some info for you

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10778350 Singaporeans are being invited to buy units in three Auckland apartment blocks which desperate Blue Chip victims are trying to escape from via a Supreme Court ruling, due out any day. "Auckland, NZ for sale," says...

    "Blur fuck" Sinkie drowns at Franz Josef Glacier...

    Not compulsory to have a guide although it is recommended. The prices for a guided tour can be quite steep. Glaciers can be very dangerous places if you don't know what you are doing and appearances can be very deceptive. Please do not judge the outdoors in other countries with your experiences...

    Can I persuade you all to get dual citizenship?

    You know, people who have been in prison for a lengthy time also crave for the familiarity of prison life when they are released. A lot of these people are no longer able to integrate back into the real world after serving out their sentence. In Singapore, you may feel very comfortable and...

    Comparing Adelaide with Melbourne/Sydney

    Thanks. From the face of it, it doesn't look like a place I would like to sink roots into. Unless I am posted there for work, I am sure there are much better choices elsewhere for me.

    Comparing Adelaide with Melbourne/Sydney

    Thanks, it sure looks like people there are desperate to move away.

    Comparing Adelaide with Melbourne/Sydney

    Thanks for the info. I understand it is trying to attract people to settle there. How successful do you think they are? Are they succeeding or just treading water? What I am asking is that in terms of percentages relative to its population, is it growing proportionately as compared to other...

    Comparing Adelaide with Melbourne/Sydney

    Hi all, has anyone lived and worked in Adelaide before? What are your views about the city as compared to living and working in either Melbourne/Sydney? I know Melbourne pretty well and I believe Sydney is quite similar to Melbourne due to the demographics and population sizes. I know...

    Tony Tan & Son lose the plot or jus tplain dishonest

    Yes, it is not about soft postings but rather, has there ever been such a precedent of someone serving full-time NS as a researcher/scientist in an organisation outside Mindef? If there was a precedent, they can still get away with fudging the issue. If there has not been such a precedent, then...

    Norway shooting suspect is going to stay in this prison

    Most Norwegians still support no death penalty, it is the lenient sentence he is likely to get that they are angry about.

    Business as usual for PAP’s pro-foreigner policy

    LMAO, this statement is 100% false. No system is perfect, it all depends on your value system and how far you are willing to go to achieve it.

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    This will be my final reply to you. You are thinking like normal people. That is not how criminals think. With the death penalty, why do you think there are still people who are willing to take the risk? These people are desperate and they don't think like you or me. So, whether you have the...

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    If you can tell me that I will not think the way I think if the victim is someone close to me, then I can also tell you that you will not think the death penalty is a good idea if you are the one wrongly convicted and facing the death penalty.

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    Look, if I say the maximum punishment is life imprisonment literally, with no chance of parole or amnesty (or at least for a minimum of 100 years), would it not have the same effect as a death sentence? It is the same as keeping the criminals away from society permanently. You keep saying that...

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    Yes I do. Although the ones I would like most to die are child abusers, I still believe in them having basic rights. Society is defined by the value system subscribed to by the majority of its members. There is no right or wrong system. It is either acceptable or not acceptable to you.

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    I did not say he should not be punished. Are you advocating "an eye for an eye" kind of justice? What happens if he kills two people? Do you kill him twice? All I am saying is that if we deny criminals the right to live then we are no better than the criminals themselves. This certainly does...

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    I am no counsellor or psychologist but he may still be able to turn his life around with the proper guidance despite his background and conditions.

    Man accused of murder freed after 6 years in jail

    Are you sure about this? Have you read the story Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption or the adapted movie The Shawshank Redemption? If not, I highly recommend that you read it. I would rather live to fight to clear my name than to die knowing I was wronged.
