Let's say that the SAF were to issue a recall order asking all NSmen to report for an operations briefing. The objective of the operation will be: - To land troops in Sumatra - To encircle and seize all "hot spots" and plantations that have been set on fire - To actively take steps to...

This afternoon I met up with my Singaporean Indian friend who I have not seen in the past 18 months. I have known him for many years. Our friendship started in the army when I was a regular, he was my Platoon Sergeant when I was serving my PC tour. Like me he has now moved out of the SAF...

Just saw this on TOC's Facebook. Former PAP MP, Leong Horn Kee (who is currently Singapore's non-resident Ambassador to Mexico) is a Director of Wilmar International. Wilmar International was named by Newsweek last year as the "world's least environmentally friendly company". Wilmar...

As the Minister of the Environment, shouldn't he do something instead of just keeping quiet? I know the haze is not directly caused by him or his ministry, but he should take action now instead of wasting time criticizing WP. This has reached CRISIS levels!

I present a quote from LKY himself: “He took over, and he said: 'If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it.'" - Recalling how former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping dealt with the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests” And this is what LKY...

opular news providers, whether on traditional or online platforms, need to uphold common standards in their news reporting, said Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim on Friday. Writing on Facebook a day before new regulations governing news sites with significant reach...

I see people claiming that the new MDA licensing rules will create a furore similar to the Population White Paper. Here's why it will not happen: 1) The majority of Singaporeans feel that issues like media freedom (especially internet media freedom) has got no direct link with their...

Johnny, aged 7, was given an assignment by his form teacher one day -- find out the meaning of "politics". Perplexed by this question, Johnny asked his father after dinner, "Daddy, what is politics?" Johnny's father replied: "Well, son, politics is complicated. But let me put it in a...

It's official, Singapore employees are working the longest hours in the world. Even more than Japan. According to official surveys, 20% of our workforce clocks in more than 11 hours per day. Check out the facts presented in this article...

He also says that he cannot be blamed for not voting against the White Paper, since the party whip was not lifted. Hence he simply didn't vote. However he wanted the whip to be lifted for the current Budget debate (fat hope!) Is he a dissident from within? How long before LHL finds him...

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/in-parliament--dpm-teo-formally-endorses-white-paper-100210878.html Amid widespread fury from Singaporeans after the release of the government's population white paper, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean stood up again Monday to publicly endorse it in Parliament...

Lee Kuan Yew was born on 16 September 1923 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Kuan_Yew If he contests the 2016 election, he will be 93 years old (!!) He could well become the world's oldest MP. Another record that Singapore can be proud of?

Should Japan be allowed to change its constitution in order to allow itself to take a more aggressive stance towards self defence? Have they been punished enough for WWII? - Not allowed to have nuclear weapons - Only country in the world to have been bombed by nukes (not once but twice)...

What will you do during CNY? Stay home? Go visiting? Travel overseas? Who here likes CNY? Personally, I really hate it.

Seems like alot of opposition supporters are so pissed off with RP and SDA that they dislike these parties even more than the PAP now. That's quite something, because most of these are hardcore opposition fans who say things like "If it were a PAP candidate versus a monkey, I would vote for...

Alot of people have suggested that there could be a coup or revolt in the coming years, and the PAP would be toppled by angry/enraged citizens who are fed up and simply can't take any more. I can assure you this will never happen. LKY was a keen student of revolutionary history. He knew that...

...Do not get carried away please. Lee Kuan Yew has already made his stand perfectly clear on this. It isn't going to happen. He has said that in the event of a freak election result, the SAF will be called in. He also stated that "Singaporeans should not assume that they can choose...
