There is plenty of propaganda in our local media. I don't know anyone losing their CPF to whores. Do you personally know any senior citizens that have wasted their CPF on whores? There may be some who don't have enough CPF for their old age but the problem is with low wage jobs & low...

I have only voted for the PAP once, this was back when the old guard was still around. Now whenever there is a GE, I never vote for the PAP. I vote for the opposition. I do this because the PAP holds too much power & I'm trying to even the field. Unfortunately other Sporeans don't agree &...

The PAP controls the mainstream media in Spore. You will never read anything positive about any opposition member. Why don't you ask the residents of Potong Pasir why they re-elected CST numerous times? If he was hopeless they could have replaced him with someone from the PAP. CST had to...

Article only reveals part of the truth. I have been visiting Batam for years & seen the place change with the times. In my visits I've made friends with Indonesian Malays & Chinese residents. There are many single unmarried Chinese there. The older women have successful businesses there...

Maybe the 70% voted for it, BUT it was before LHL announced policies like increase in GST, increase in power & water, depreciating HDB, tightening policies on CPF, ..... I expect more people to really look at what the opposition has to offer. It may be too late to kick out the PAP but it may...

It's easy to warn employees about not making customers unhappy. What is important is whether the management has given employees the flexibility & resources to provide solutions to customers. Unfortunately chinese bosses have a reputation for being penny pinching.

How many Sporeans really believe that Sporeans will squander their CPF if they ever get their hands on it? I suspect many of those who warn about this have been brainwashed by PAP propaganda. Let me ask these people who believe the propaganda whether you would do this? There are so many...

That is why in the west there are term limits. Power corrupts & total power totally corrupts. Term limits prevent someone from holding office for too long & creating a dynasty e.g. famiLee business. LKY may have decided to go into politics with honest intentions:biggrin:. Anything is possible...

What's wrong with people who are worried about their money? Really can't blame the "lesser mortals" about how they think about money. It is the PAP who has emphasised the importance of money e.g. monetising everything, saying that nothing is free, ... etc. Even those civil servants making...

I expect in the next GE the PAP will intensify their efforts to fix the opposition. Already seeing them clamp down on alternative news, suing people, ... etc

Many countries don't have potable water coming from the tap. In HK many households use sea water to flush the toilets. Other countries get their water from various sources e.g. ground water, wells, bottled water, reservoir, rain,,, etc. In Spore the gov't has made it illegal to collect rain...

I don't see what other choice Spreans have? They know that if they continue to vote for the PAP they can never touch their CPF, that GST is going up, water & power will increase. Now they are finding out that their HDB homes will become worthless. If you are one of the "lesser mortals" would...

Now many Sporean seniors are realising how "good" the PAP is . I feel sorry for the newer generation of brainwashed Sporeans because it is their parents who made the choices. :rolleyes: They cannot withdraw whatever they have in their CPF because of all the changes: in withdrawal age...

Does the Malay or Indian president count as a PAP member?

I use to visit JB regularly using public transport. I would stop at the Kranji MRT station & switch to a bus for a 10 minute ride to the Causeway. It wouldn't cost much $ to extend MRT service from the Kranji to JB. Much like what they have done to extend the connection between the Tanah...

The professional you find in Asia who have have to advertise are I think more like sales people who are salaried & depend on commissions. If they were any good, they would be investing their own $ or starting their own investment companies If you want to find the good ones, many of them are...

I don't know about others but I was giving it a try back in 2007 when it was hot. Some Indonesian friends showed me how simple it was. Back then there were Indonesian brokers offering it. I used various US companies but after making losses I stopped doing forex. Forex is deceptively easy but...

Anyone have any experience with the Bissell Crosswave? It's both a vacuum cleaner & mop. Unfortunately it is not sold in Spore & I'm considering bringing one in from Amazon UK. It is expensive but I don't like to do household chores & willing to spend $ if it will make things easier...

Apple no longer has a factory in Spore. They moved to China years ago. I have one of those hand held Dyson vacuum cleaners. I was surprised that such an expensive product is vey plasticity. Currently I am not using it because the power adaptor is not working. My irobot vacuum cleaner is...

Don't forget about the courses that teach how to invest in forex:tongue: I never took any courses but have lost a lot of $$$ playing the forex market. My road is one of trial & error. The road to investment success is not always smooth when you have no one to guide you.
