Sad really. Too much power for a monopoly usually means this.

That would be a sad day if AWARE becomes only a mouthpiece for Focus On The Family organisation and not for anything else. Even as a Christian, I find the lack of a different range of views in the new exco particularly disturbing. They are roughshodding other people into submission- and giving...

All of these will be in the umbrella of economic development discussion. It has to be said these days proper economic growth, substainable growth, has to be on strong, firm foundations, and what you mention are all part of the fundamentals that we have to address. That's why I don't think...

The old dog can't even bite anymore; disappointing. :rolleyes:

I agree as such. But in a parliamentary system, if we just wait, then he would be a one-man show in Parliament, and he will be overwhelmed by the majority. Therefore we can't just wait. If we build up an alternative presence in Parliament, then there will be even more people willing to take the...

I hate to burst your bubble, but if you think bread and butter issues are not important in politics- in general and internationally as well- then why was Obama elected for? He was elected because people trusted in him more in economic management. I think some of us here like to miss the...

The son still has time to emulate his father in that aspect. Its not lost yet.

Re: Lim Boon Heng ask you to be kind and considerate to the PAP! Actions must reflect the words and vice versa. As such the PAP has reflected its words with its own action- which is money is so supreme and so important that even if AIG and GM take back their own bonuses, the PAP will not. In...

Then at least fine them a couple of million for overcrowding incidents, not $100 for one instance in 6 mths...anyone who would have taken a bus or mrt ride year on year, day by day, would know that the train is getting even more packed as the years pass by. I remember a time when one would have...

Well a girl thinks its cool to emulate Paris Hilton, I think its time for one to stand so far away that she can't touch you even with a 10 foot totem pole. I mean, what's so cool about emulating Paris Hilton anyway? She shops for guys the way she probably shops for shoes. One week she likes...

A slap on the wrist really...might as well don't even bother.

This isn't about the domestic tax structure, cestbon. Its about the tax structure- or the lack of it- for foreign companies and individuals who put their money here and in other countries to avoid punitive taxes back home- such as income, corporate, payroll, estate et al. For example, the rock...

My reply: 1. Pffffttt. Firstly its a religious organisation and it's rumoured that the head pastor is paid $500k. So is he serving God, or the greenbacks? 2. The reasons New Creation stated somehow- weirdly or not- are similar with the same ones AIG FP division said when they announced...
