typically works for 80 to 90 hours a week - is this typical of a teacher's life? What kind of lifestyle is this!

You people should be in parliament. This is exactly the kind of debate the government should have, not the silent yes men mp's who sit in parliament and not raise any challenge.

I have to disagree on all points. The bilingual policy is a big burden to students. Calling it mother tongue and making it a mandatory weightage to one's academic achievements is chauvinistic and discriminatory. You can make students study it, but you cannot make them love it. 25 years...

MCS and mda should be broadcasting all matches free in the interests of public service. This is the way to promote the sport in Singapore, especially if you want to be soccer powerhouse. There will be many families who cannot afford the $70 for pay TV. That is, if they even have pay TV...

What she says is true. The world over, people are moving at a rate not seen before. England is no longer the land of the English people anymore, and after this current election, some districts might even have a muslim MP. Like it or not, we can't reverse this trend or bring society back to...

Global warming is the answer. It has been getting progressively hotter during the past decade. What's the temp in singapore now?

It's heartening to read some sympathetic postings against the death penalty. I have always maintained that hanging drug mules will not solve the problem of drug trafficking. The fact that Singapore hangs so many people every year is proof that the death penalty does not work. There will...

LHL consistently defends his salary by saying get the best man for the job. Is he really the best man?

Someone post the whole article please.

This is so fucking ridiculous. A nation that won't pay to broadcast the World Cup wants to be a soccer power. How do you promote the sport when you won't even pay for the fucking broadcast of the sport's premier world event? Singapore doesn't mind losing billions through Temasek, but won't...

Is he saying that Singaporeans are not educated enough? Or that there are not enough educated Singaporeans? With three universities, how can there not be enough educated Singaporeans?

Such irony. "They will tell you what they want you to hear". Who is the most guilty of them all for doing this?

The Aust High Comm has acted 'blur' to several of my requests before. Go there personally.

Agreed. Foreigners are everywhere and before the war, Singapore was awash with foreigners as well. The difference this time is that their presence and the policies which support their presence disadvantage locals. If they competed with Singaporeans at Singapore wages, then it would be a...

The ballot box is only half of the solution. The other solution is to stand for elections. If no one stands for elections, there is no opposition to vote for. We need brave and credible people to stand up.

Hi Sotong Mee, Could you clarify how $1000/mth is a decent salary for a full 6 day working week?

Try contacting a Singapore embassy or high commission about how to vote from overseas and see the apathetic reply you get. That is if they even reply to you!

They have hung at least 500 people already. Make this an election issue. Get the PAP to account for every bit of their policy.

8 years ago the market rate was $30,000. I was told that the syndicate had an insider in ICA who will take the IC and passport of those who have given up citizenship and give you the number. Don't know what it is now, or even if those people are still in business. Would be interesting to...

Is this woman bona fide? This letter comes right after the NZ govt launched a campaign to attract singaporeans. And her last paragraph really reads like government propaganda. I don't believe such a woman exists. The letter was probably made up. What would be interesting is if The...
