GMS, I think you of all people should know ICA policy better. Dual citizenship is allowed for foreign born persons until the age of 21. After which they are forced to renounce either citizenship. The same questions arose for Xiao Yifei when she was awarded president's scholar.

This theory is far fetched. Why would the PAP do something stupid such as to field 2 candidates to split the PAP votes? But I think the theory is half-true. Excluding Tony Tan, TCB is probably their 2nd most preferred candidate for president even if they didn't intend for him to be in the race...

Dual citizenship is allowed until the age of 21 when they are forced to give up either of their citizenships. But I'm not clear whether these people can renounce their other citizenship before they reach 21. On the other hand, does anyone find it odd that one other President Scholar (Aaron Koh)...

I remember back in 2009 there was a big outcry in cyberspace about TH's losses and investments in failed banks whose equity has collapsed in the wake of the financial crisis. The funny thing is how on earth did people like us ever got to know TH or GIC invested in those banks. Turns out they...

What scroobal said is plausible. TJS and TCB are old friends. At least this is what the May 2011 issue of SMA said here: http://news.sma.org.sg/4305/Feature.pdf Scroll to the last page. Also read the text. I have no idea when they first became friends though.

Yeah in fact you could prove that this method would always give a multiple of 9. Let x,y be any number from 0 to 9. All two digit numbers can be written in the form 10x+y. So subtracting any two digit number by x,y gives: 10x+y-x-y=9x. You can see from here that 9x is always divisible...

It depends on where the court is located. TR is not based in Singapore and TH has no way to win. The only question is whether TR would relent to protect their admins' privacy and anonymity. TH is gambling, this time not with investments but with the hope that TR values their anonymity more than...

I don't think this is true. The PAP and those who write history have not been hesitant with the "communist" label. Devan Nair is known to Singapore historians as a former communist who nonetheless later sided with LKY and became president. This isn't exactly knowledge which is hidden or...

This is mistaken on several levels. Patents are inventions or discoveries of new methods of processes by various people. Naming a financial report does not constitute a "patent" in any sense of the word since there's nothing new or novel in the report in any intellectual sense...

I'm curious to know where you got your source that Lim Chin Siong was a communist member of the CPM. TN Harper's paper on Lim Chin Siong and the Singapore Story makes it clear that there was substantial doubt that Lim Chin Siong was a communist and was certainly not part of the CPM. The best...

Did a search on Google News and found this news article: http://news.asiaone.com/Business/News/My%2BMoney/Story/A1Story20080306-53035.html Clearly this isn't the first time STI was rigged.

Sigh. I have said all I have to say above, and I'll let others judge them on their own merits. I don't have time, I meant, to convince some individuals, whom due to their overinflated egos, think that their opinion on this is representative of everyone else. I have neither the time nor...

I don't have time to respond to the last few replies here, but this story has finally been carried by the mainstream media: http://www.straitstimes.com/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=53ac55c272eb0210VgnVCM100000430a0a0aRCRD&vgnextchannel=e2c1758920e39010VgnVCM1000000a35010aRCRD...

This is stale news, published by the ST last year 29th Oct 2008: http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_295992.html

She made some statement to that effect. Come on, excercise some common sense. If an academic work was found to share great similarities with another already published, would the guilt of plagiarism rest solely on whether the individual admits to it? Of course not! We can't know the truth...

She said it warmed her heart. So that isn't an inspiration of some kind? Presumably she had meant to say she suffered an attack of heartburn while watching Good Will Hunting. Right... So in future should you ever submit a work which was found to share glaring similarities with another already...

Hi ChaoPappyPoodle, thank you for your effort but I don't think SneeringTree would be convinced any time soon. It's not our effort to persuade him so. I've made my case and I'll let others (apart from SneeringTree) judge its merits.

You're right about this degenerating into a pointless discussion. I've articulated my arguments as above. And please don't drag in hundreds of other films; I will not be baited into another tiring debate into whether that same scene could be found in other films. She admitted she watched Good...

Please read what I posted shortly before you posted the above.

Anyway I just had a look at the comments on that blog entry here by the director: You know, I never bothered to check those comments she made which you cited earlier, SneeringTree. Perhaps if I had done so then, it would have been evident that she acknowledged she was aware of that scene in...
