Won't be surprised if this is internal "house-cleaning" in MFA under Shanmugam. Lim Cheng Hoe and his Protocol Directorate have been quite a separate breed from the rest for a while.

In fact, why isn't there a team within the PAP against Teo? Despite his OCBC connections and present cosy relationship with Dragon Lee, this is also the most vulnerable he has been in a while.

Thank you for the visual feast so far. For me, meat-stuffed bittergourd and kiam chye soup is the taste of home.

One doesn't simply "tour the world" between 2000 and 2003 and get a nice position at a research institute like ISEAS out of the blue, and then go on to found OpinionAsia.

If you watch the "war" being waged by "Every Day Party" against the various Temaseks on FB, it would appear that Alex Tan Zhixiang may be related to Temasek Times.

Wah then PM better faster hurry up hold Hougang BE. Or he wants to cut cost and do Tanjong Pagar BE at the same time?

My, my. Sounds like the self-loathing has gotten worse since we last saw you.

Not just miscalculation on company's part. This sad episode shows some of the unintended (?) consequences of the govt auction system, and by extension, an over-reliance on market mechanisms in a market that is not competitive at all since HDB is the monopolistic landlord here...

In light of recent developments, I humbly suggest that purchasers be only allowed to choose a specific number on the back under the nick "scroobal". It would be good to see "Scroobal 69", "Scroobal 123", "Scroobal 64" on Orchard Road.

"MOVING FORWARD,..." No, you are not moving forward, you fat fuck with a tie. You are standing at a podium delivering a speech about your "vision". Just say, "For the future...."

Agree that one's position vis-a-vis the fence can colour what one thinks of Vikram. To clarify: this is not VN's first high-profile encounter with WP. In the last instance, I noticed some rather unsavoury thought patterns of his ("So Pritam, did you have to do this too? THIS? AND THIS??") and...

Looks like there's a general consensus not to over-report this while the ministerial pay review is being pushed through our august House of Parliament. 'Foreign talent policy had effect on income gap' Inflow hurt wage growth for some, says expert panel By Melissa Tan Government policies...

WP will have to work harder at preventing this sort of sly underbelly probing to happen again. Gerald Giam today, Faisal Manap tomorrow. Not good. Having said that, one cannot wonder if dear Vikky is over-compensating a tad. This came out strongly in the IPS What Do Youth Want forum...

They should have let the bugger sit in his ante-office at Navy HQ and shake leg for a bit more.

TOC is in a delicate position right now: it has gained many more readers for both its web portal and FB page from a variety of factors: publicity on "new media" outlets before and after the elections, the 'disappearance' of Temasek Review, and more recently the SMRT fiasco. What it means that it...

Thank you. Am honestly a little surprised, considering how many 2nd gen (Grace Fu, anyone?) are now occupying 'establishment' positions.

Well, doesn't Old Man (and his son now) have a habit of keeping his former enemies and their spawn close? They call it hegemony, I think. Speaking of which, was the father of the immediate past ISD head also part of the glorious Operation Coldstore class by any chance? Been quite curious.

SMRT as a whole does not seem to be able to make good decisions. While some may argue that it is common practice for firms to appoint IDs for internal inquiries, the crux of the issue is: - SMRT is no ordinary company, it is a GLC; - Singapore is not a normal country, with some choosing...

Have you considered the Small Claims Tribunal? IIRC, you have some experience with wildlife impex issues -- so if you can show how it's the damn pet shop's fault in your narrative, the DIY kit might be easy peasy for you. They take claims up to 20k, I believe.

QF - I'm not sure about the past, but all current MTR rolling stock employ the overhead method for drawing operating power. If HK MTR did switch from third rail to overhead it would certainly be an interesting discussion if we know the reasons why...
