Since years ago we see the PAP playing the 'infidelity card' on younger sinkees, using all the media to urge them to support their aged parents, and shaming those who shirk this responsiblity. Does anyone one realise that this is one big fucking scam?? The reason is simple - in first...

I've been seeing many lamentations on why the PAP is immune to all the complaints and problems of the sg people. Here's something I want to share- i think it deserves a thread on its own. This was told to me by a friend, who got to speak with a high-level civil servant at an event. This...

RC dogs + MP from Holland-Bt Timah GRC visited my block and surrounding ones just a while ago. Never seen that happen for years. Another clear sign that erections are cumming. Cheebye dogs had to knock on my door so loud, like ah longs, for ten long minutes until they gave up.

Hey all, I've got a burning question. For those residing in other cuntries, I'm curious how new houses/apartments are sold. Do they build the whole block first, then let you see the exact unit you want before selling? Or they do it sg style? Sell you when the block is just a piece of dirt...

Just to show how incompetent the PAP is, I will show how just one insignificant, heartlander poly grad (me) can identify and come up with solutions by himself to most of our present problems. Feel free to add. Any party can grab these ideas and use them. I’m just happy if some of them become...

I never like the fact that sg's economic policy is still about being a cheap manufacturing base. It suppresses wages and makes life miserable. But I read somewhere this govt tried to take us out of it in the 80s and failed. Can any brother enlighten me on WHY it failed and WHAT steps were...

I thought we'll take a break from the whining and cursing, and discuss a different topic. Been learning a martial art for 2 years and would like to share what i learnt. Myths vs truths..... 1. Martial artists are very fit and have no problems getting IPPT gold. Might be true for styles...

...And I see indisputable evidence of it in my father. He's slogged hard his whole life as a civil servant, not a high ranking one, but has never made enough to enjoy some basic luxury or even retire in comfort. He has passed the official age of retirement and is re-employed back as an...
