We spent millions of dollars on practice after practice, bussing schoolchildren to the rehearsals, rolling out our military personnel, closing roads and causing massive jams, affecting businesses in the area – every Saturday since June! – and she cannot put in more effort to remember her steps?
Apparently, it was her 6th NDP and the most important occasion of the Presidency. It's not the missteps, it's an occasion where everyone puts in sweat to get things just right (hence the rehearsals) to inspire confidence in the nation.
I don’t think I’m engaging in hyperbole when I say that, together with everything that's happened of late, Singapore’s leadership is not inspiring confidence.
Our Orange & Teal outlet at Marina Square lost thousands of dollars in earnings over the period because of the road closures. Now that it’s over, come on down to the café this weekend, everyone!

CSJ invites you to his cafe for music and food. 
Remember The Western Union Band with their hit ‘Sausalito’? Or the The Quests’ ‘Shanty’ which – jokes aside – knocked The Beatles’ ‘I Should Have Known Better’ off the top of the local charts in 1964? Or The Crescendos? Thunderbirds?
The pop music industry in Singapore thrived in the 1960s and even 70s. But it all somehow came to an abrupt end and the industry never really recovered.
What happened? Why did our local musicians just fade away? More importantly, can it be revived?
Mr Ernesto Valerio, a well-know veteran musician who’s been playing on the island since the 1960s, will take us down memory lane, relive the glory days and, perhaps, tell us why our music scene died.
With him is Mr Dansen John, a talented musician in his 30s, who’ll talk about the ups and downs of being a performer in the contemporary local pop scene and, more importantly, what’s in store for young musicians.
In between, they’ll sing a hit or two for us. What a cool way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

CSJ thinks the PAP is in trouble. 
The PAP is in trouble and DPM Lawrence Wong knows it.
That’s why Mr Wong is now trying to reframe the picture and re-position his party for the next general elections.
He said yesterday, launching the Singapore Forward report, that the Singapore Dream is no longer just about the 5Cs.
Let’s be clear, there’s no 5Cs – it died a long time ago. The PAP has not been able to deliver what it promised Singaporeans all these years and now it is practising the art of distraction.
As retrenchment and unemployment grow, and the cost of living skyrockets, the PAP is desperately trying to shift attention away from its broken promises by telling Singaporeans that life is more than just the 5Cs. It’s not just about “I, me, and mine,” Mr Wong says, “it’s more about we, us, and ours.”
Before we switch pronouns, he should first explain why he and his cabinet colleagues say “I, me mine” when it comes to their million-dollar salaries and “us, we and ours” when it comes to the people having to live with biting inflation.
He should also explain why he is giving Singaporeans another financial whack when he increases the GST to 9% next year.
Third, he should address the question of why his fellow ministers, K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan, rent gigantic government bungalows when ordinary citizens are made to live in tiny HDB flats.
Even more unbelievably, Mr Wong says that the Singapore Forward manifesto “is not a top down government agenda.”
So, what does he call his party dictating to Singaporeans what, where and when we can speak; continues to use defamation suits and POFMA directives against its critics; and introduces election laws that cripple the opposition?
He waxes lyrical that Singaporean lives should be about “fulfilment, meaning and purpose”.
Here’s a question for Mr Wong: How does he expect citizens to live meaningful and purpose-filled when the police even investigate one lone individual for holding up a sign calling for peace in Israel and Palestine – and at Speaker’s Corner to boot? How much more meaningless can our citizenship be?
For Singaporeans to truly live fulfilled lives, we need to be empowered in our own country and to be able to exercise the full franchise of our citizenship.
To experience a meaningful existence in this country, citizens should not have to whisper when we criticise our rulers.
To lead lives with purpose, we need to know that Singapore is our home, not just a hotel.
Everything else is just words – words that Mr Wong and his party mates will no doubt repeat, quite emptily, at the next GE.

Cool, I've always dreamed of having my own cafe. I remember how I once visited rainbow one cafe and it was quite wonderful, but I forgot my wallet there and turned to rainbow lodge houston customer service. I went back for it the next day and decided to have a cup of coffee. There was so much delicious coffee that I even got fired up with the idea of opening my own cafe
