In Singapore? I am very concerned. Nintendo's Satoru Iwata announced he will slash his pay in half following a 30 percent slump in profit over the nine-month fiscal period ending Dec. 31, 2013. Speaking to reporters, the Nintendo president said he will receive a reduced salary for five months...

This thread is started with the sole purpose of giving readers an insight into Cambodia (both past and present, and in no particular order) with articles of interest culled from newspapers, magazines and internet. Here goes - Cambodia’s Road Tax Structure and Fines in 1998 The...

From the website Penhpal.com by Roger Mitton 1 December 2014 All good things come to an end and in little Singapore it is evident that the long rule of the People’s Action Party is drawing to a close. It may take a couple of election cycles, perhaps ten to fifteen years, but as most...

An interesting piece, although very belated, by Phnom Penh Post's Roger Mitton. The article in its entirety here. Last week, Singapore’s post-independence hero, Lee Kuan Yew, marked his 90th birthday. He has led an amazing life, and though a ruthless old curmudgeon, he has always been among...

A little dated perhaps, but this is what Robert Mitton wrote on his column in the Phnom Penh Post. Singapore: all is not well (link) On Friday, the world did not end, as an ancient Mayan calendar had forecast, but it seems most Singaporeans would not have minded much if it had. Last week, a...

Just heard & translated to me that 50 Chinese men and 3 women were arrested by the police on kidnapping charges. Please note as I don't understand much Khmer, the facts may differ from what I heard. On TV, I saw a group of men being led out of a villa, handcuffed, by the police into waiting...

A guy hears that there's a fantastic new bar that has a robot bartender who will serve you a drink, then make conversation with you totally in synch with your IQ level. So the guy decides to check it out. He goes into the bar and sits down. The robot asks him, "What's your IQ?" The guy replies...

Just saw that Malaysia has released Mas Selamat into Singapoe's custody. I can only guess this is Najib's wily scheme to make Singapore look bad, he's betting on him to escape again. Man, this Najib fella, he's one wicked SOB, and to think he's going to reap all accolades for the...

I don't take this forum too seriously, it's something I do to pass the time and yes, I enjoy this. So in this context, I do not know whether to take this seriously. I just got a warning from a Siaosdp about my 'inappropriate' avatar/signature. C&P below. I draughted my reply, also below, but...

First, I must warn readers the term ‘Big Fucks’ is going to be used a lot here. I find it a more economical and better expression for ‘So what? Been done before, and better’. Today my cash card died out on me. Today being a Sunday saved me a fine if I had gone through the few ERP gantries on...

I only found out the price of the ST on Saturday is $1. I would like to know the reason. The news contents is not any special from the other days', the editorial still spouting the same old, nor is the comics, so maybe it is because it has more than double the pages. But, hello, those extra...

Last Friday returning from my daily evening jog, I noticed the door of the notice board on the ground floor of the neighboring block was opened. The wanted notice with MSK's mugshot was missing. However, the notice was still displayed at my block as well as the other 2 adjacent blocks, so I...

I was looking to subscribe to a new line and had a month or so to shop around for the best deal, so I decided to make a thorough search with some time that I had. It should take no more than a day. The more I search, the more confused I was. Anyways, I spent more time on this than I intended to...

I was at a wedding dinner just a couple of days ago. Posh hotel, gleaming luxurious cars parked like a showroom out front, uniformed concierges I could mistaken for Kublai Khan. Outside the dinning hall proper, fine wine, cocktails were served by tuxed waiting staff. Some of the guests were...
