Sad to say, most if not all armed forces in the world have a lot of dark stories kept away from the public. Even the most democratic country in the world, the US or the UK also have a lot of dirty practices going on in their armies that are kept away from public limelight. It's unavoidable but...

Really we should not speculate and read between the lines of what SAF had to say when they had offered him another post but he has not reverted. The question beg as to what transpired between SAF and Dr Ooi and why did Dr Ooi not revert back to the SAF. We do not know what had happened but...

To speak up for the public does not mean that you must be in the opposition to do it. The problem with the ruling party is that people dare not speak up for fear of antagonising their superiors or that their chances of promotion within the party will be stifled if they "step" on someone...

You are challenging the terms of the bond that allow extension of bond by the government on a unilateral basis or the consequence of breaking the bond. So far I have not come across cases where the government has taken a bond breaker to court. The court will have to decide and give reasonings on...

You don't need to be in politics to engage the politicians or the government on issues whether political or not. The politicians can engage in healthy discussions even in this forum with any member of the public and they can get feedback on the pros and cons of the policies which they desire to...

Sorry, I am not interested in entering politics or to join any political parties.

Over the years, I have given up writing to ST Forum as they chose to publish letters which they considered and deemed that are non-critical to what the ST or the government have put up. I have written several letters pointing out facts put up by the government and/or big organisations, like...

Sometime the government cares too much about image that they have forgotten they also have to do justice to its citizens here. It is the people who elect this government and not the foreigners. The foreigners are only here to stamp Singapore down. STB and NEA have not come out to say how they...

The above is purely my opinion that the government has to come out and state their stand.

I agree with you that it is the STB who had painted the pictures to the tourists in their brochures that you can get good food in Lau Pa Sat and Newton but they have also forgotten that the prices charged at those stalls are way above what the locals used to pay at local food centre. The STB...

Personally I am not aware of the circumstances why he went AWOL. I don't want to speculate on what the newspaper had to say about the deceased unless I have seen the hards facts put before me.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

FYI, it is not cheap to buy from wholesaler prawns of that size. For 5 prawns about the size of 300-350 grams, it would costs about $38-$46 from wholesalers. It is possible that they served the size of 300-350 g to the angmo at $8 per 100g and it easily costs $200. Did NEA finds out the price...

Singapore Tourism Board ("STB"), a government statutory board, has said that they will act for the American tourists to help them reclaim the amount they had paid to the Newton Stall holder who had allegedly overcharged them. STB says that they will represent the American tourists in the...

There is a difference between being aware and chose to be ignorant when aware of it. Perhaps both eyes and ears are closed for that matter.

I have said from the outset what is the public policy of the government in cases of this nature where a serviceman commits suicide. Should the government advertise in the Obituary for these servicemen. I am strongly against it but I know you beg to differ. That is all right. There must be a...

You don't need to email to the minister as they should be aware of it by now as there are more than enough people in cyberspace to feedback to them information concerning the government and what people have to say.

The whole issue was whether SAF did the right thing by publishing condolences in the newspaper for someone who had gone AWOL and committed suicide while still in service. Porfirio has rightly pointed out that whether his family suffers or not is a totally different issue from what I had...

I beg to disagree that I did not digress from what I had set out to ask what was the public policy. What I had merely done was to give examples and illustration to drive home my point. It may have been viewed otherwise by you but differences in interpretation of what I had said between you and...

Good question asked. Maybe members of Elite are treated differently from ordinary people. That is why there is always one law for the Rich and Powerful and one law for the General Public.

For the deceased, his act dies with him but his survivors suffers. If he had spared a thought for his survivors, he would not have done it despite the enormous amount of education that was poured in and to nurture him to be a scholar. There are always setbacks in life and it is how you face and...
