The bureaucratese have lost the plot. What is the purpose of a prom night? Is it to groom & teach students etiquette or for students to enjoy & remember their last days at the school? I'm sure they could have reduced the costs by catering & choosing a cheaper location.

You obviously have no clue about shopping in Thailand. The best deals are those with Thai labour e.g. Haircuts, dental services You can also get good deals on tailored made pants & shirts. I have made several with material from Europe with Thai craftsmanship. One can also get cheaper...

Do what many are doing. Travel with an empty suitcase & return with the suitcase filled with items e.g. Bangkok is a Favourite for shopping. I'm doing that with haircuts & dental care.

I remember when that school was originally located in Bukit Timah. The school was kicked out of their premises which was taken over by Spore Chinese Girls School. Obviously the school is for "lesser mortals". So I am surprise the school expect all the students to be able to afford the $$$. I...

Years ago my relative went to Germany to get his degree. He came back with a German wife & when she was expecting, she was asked by the Spore authorities to sign a piece of paper agreeing not to seek Spore citizenship for the baby. This was a time under LKY. My relative was no dummy & was...

I'm old enough to remember when the Brits where in Spore.You will even hear some of the old generation claim that Spore under the Brits was better place than under the PAP. For example Changi was open to the public & when the PAP decided to make it into an airport, people stopped going there...

I'm only interested in knowing how much $ is still in my CPF & how much an honest civil servant like LKY was able to amass?

FYI. In the NK war the Americans were fighting jets that were crewed by soviet,chinese & NK pilots.

I remember the case of an old Sporean being pushed & scolded by a Malaysian couple because he asked if he could share a table at some food court. I won't be surprised this is another case where the culprit is a foreigner. Thus is what you ge when you let in so many foreigners.

If you have decent '0' level results suggest using them to get into a University in Canada, US, ... You'll save time & if you do summer courses you can finish a Uni degree by the time you have to do NS.

it was very simple back then because LKY had no relatives & kakis in the gov't. Then he brought in LHL, Ho Ching, WKS, .... , other relatives & friends. into the gov't & GLCs.

Why pick on the homeless? In Spore we see this entitlement attitude among the PAP elites. Look at the millions/billions of $ that they think they deserve.

According to the released book "Fire & Fury" by Michael Wolff All of those working in the White House for Trump think that he is incompetent :p So Trump is driving both Republicans & Democrats crazy.

I've never heard of anyone suing the Spore police. I doubt it can be done.

You under estimate the PAP. There are too many Malls in Spore. The price of older condos are not what they used to be. I think a glut still exists because the PAP built with expectation of a Spore population of 10 million.

I've met some of the kids from these wealthy families & was surprised how messy things were. Maybe that's why there is the saying about family businesses not surviving pass the nth generation.

They might be better off than most lesser mortals but not what I would call filthy rich. There are a number of reasons for this e.g. these families are usually large & the $ may have been passed on to favourite male heirs. Some old time tycoons had more than one Wife. So when the patriach...

Boys didn't mind making the $. It was a teacher who found out & reported him.

We've all seen how the PRC behave in Spore e.g. They beat up bus Drivers, condo management officials, each other, ..etc. Seems like part of SOP if you live in China. So makes little difference if one is a doctor.

Nowadays only travel with one carry-on bag. I've gotten use to taking bus/train to the airport. Just need to start 3 hours early. May consider using Uber/grab if I decide to go shopping on shopping spree overseas & returning with heavy baggage.
