Previously SAF scholarship ranking officer iirc. Can solve problems easily with sticks, guns and some say, explosives also.

Insufficient manpower, vandalism of equipment. Barcode is too easy to vandalize by scratching it off. No staffs will routinely issue/ enforce return of the trolley due to manpower costs. Probably need to adapt from the rental bicycle scheme where all trolleys just self lock if beyond the WiFi...

Police shouldn't be a hit man deployed in this case which is essentially a parliament issue. The referral to police was imho, just a sly ruse in the pretex of impartiality cos by rank, PAP shouldn't ask police (part of executive) to fall in behind PAP majority Parliament Committee of Privileges...

Speaker of parliament threw PAP Mr Xie a lifeline and to cover up the PAP property Ponzi scheme (Mr Perreia 2nd question). This 2nd question alluding to the property price Ponzi scheme that is funded by PAP government subsidies is a very sensitive question that is beyond Mr Xie and very...

A holistic solution to end abandoned supermarket trolleys once and for all. Government should make the supermarket pay for citizen return of discovered abandoned trolleys, using technology of the rental bicycle service. This would give income to poor citizens, reward good community service...

So according to ST, KOM worth peanuts compared to SM is getting a lion's share of the combined entity shares. Sinkies are like SM shareholders. The board basically sells them out and then retires (all but one director abandon ship literally). In the new entity, they are the minority...

Semb Marine Keppel O&M merger, a harbinger of Singapore future likewise? All but one of the Semb Marine directors retire. Semb Marine (SM) with NTA of $3.8B merges with Keppel O&M (KOM) with NTA $860M. So basically SM is 4.41x the book value worth of KOM. But in the merged entity, SM share...

Public Debt above 200% of GDP, Is Japan Economy in Ponzi Territory now yet? Japan Economy has how many zombie / Ponzi companies for a country with public debt at 200% GDP? When do u think the debt bubble will burst, just like US property prices of 2008, Ponzi values, nobody wants to buy the...

SMS Sim Ann admits how serious the shrink-flation of HDB flats size has become now? "Of the Ang Mo Kio Sers residents, 99 per cent did not need to top up for a similar flat type with a full 99-year lease, or a similar sized flat on a 50-year lease, Ms Sim said."...

Most people will not have experience nor time to do it and will probably just squander away the vouchers if they don't trust the government much. Inappropriate food, not to the medical / cultural needs of recepients is often wasted. This is national resources foolishly wasted on a grand scale...

I am saying that by determined failure to implement the donation to charities option, the government is making a very grave mistake, by sacrificing charities, just to save heartland businesses and supermarkets. Corruption in government is promoted in this process, since firstly, the disparity...

The 2021, 2022 CDC vouchers donation scheme only applies to government registered charities. The government managed the cash transfers, so there is no risk of scammers rigging the system, unless the government is cahoots with scammers or is a scammer itself. ======= " When can I donate my...

In GRC system, MP is spokesman for ministers, cos minister is his parliament seat sponsor. MP is like cannon fodder, if sacked by minister, no by-election is necessary to ensure citizen representation, the other mouthpieces toe the line closer, to avoid upsetting the minister and repercussions...

Irrelevant comment. This thread refers to encouraging rich people to donate what they don't need, as well as government accountability to the public. Government has to account for the value of unclaimed GST vouchers. It cannot just simply enter into a slush fund. Charities are also in need of...

Ban on donation of CDC vouchers is to make poor people suffer, so government can justify further increasing GST to 'help poor people'. Is my understanding correct? Can somebody clarify? Cos I can see poor people suffering a lot, can someone clarify, I hope I am wrong here...

Post from https://sg (remove this blank) talk.net/Thread-Singapore-SportsSG-ActiveSG-is-promoting-sedentary-lifestyle-in-Singaporeans-now?pid=442587#pid442587 It's just that to confiscate the credits, will just be sending the wrong message, i.e. justify sedentary citizens reasons not to...

Replied at other forum: Yes this will work. But my point is that there will be many* lazy people who purposely wish and hope that all the points lapse, then they have the best excise not to exercise leow, which then totally defeats the point of making citizens active in the first place. To...

Probably the ministers are at logger heads with each other and use their own ministry policy options to sabotage each other. Yes activeSG is under SportSG, which is under MCCY. I sincerely hope my first paragraph is false. But it really does seem the case, especially when MCCY policies are at...
