The authorities take the complaints of the Muslims very seriously. They are given preferential treatment as is made plain for all to see every Friday when rampant illegal parking goes unpunished.

I heard that a coffee shop in Tampines GRC today had stacks of SPH newspapers in English, Chinese and Malay available without charge. On the first page, The Straits Times headline: "WP taking a cavalier, irresponsible approach towards the livelihoods of S'poreans: PM Wong". It sure looks like...

BG Dinesh Vasu Dash actually meant: "Joining the PAP is the fastest and surest way to becoming a multi-millionaire without doing much work, have zero accountability and enjoy a cast iron rice bowl."

The problem with the PAP is that it is made up of arrogant politicians who believe that they are superior to the majority of S'poreans just because they pay themselves handsomely, live in sprawling private homes, drive expensive cars and label themselves as genuine talents. LOL!

To the residents of Tampines, David Neo is a stranger. In fact, he is just 1 of the 32 strangers parachuted in for this GE by the PAP!

Some minorities claim that if an innocent term like "Ah Neh" which means brother, is considered racist by an Indian, then we must not use it. It is like saying that if I wear a Manchester United jersey while walking down Orchard Road, a group of Liverpool fans have the right to force me to take...

This video argues that the terms "keling" and "apu neh" were not originally derogatory. The elderly Indian man claims they were simply descriptive in his time and not intended as insults. According to my insurance agent who is a Tamil S'porean, "Ah Neh" simply means older brother, and his...

The knife-wielding student is from Bartley Secondary School - not Beatty.

The Economist ranks S'pore 3rd on the World Crony Capitalism Index: we have a high % of billionaires who enjoy family and personal ties to our politicians.

He could have landed at the rally by parachute.

Thankfully, he did not show up at the rally exposing his bird.

I am thankful that I was born in the 1970s, and upgraded out of my HDB home by the early 2000s. It is now impossible for a couple to upgrade to a condo by the age of 30 without help from their parents.

SMEs lack the financial muscle and economies of scale that MNCs possess. As such, they face far more stringent credit guidelines from banks to fuel their expansion. The EDB and Enterprise S'pore must assist by developing local private sector businesses to contribute to supply chains.

The doctor asked his patient how he was feeling, and the 85-year-old said, "I've never felt better! I now have a 20-year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that, doc?" The doctor considered the question for a minute, and then began to tell a story. "I have an older...
