A very inspiring speech by the President re-elect! He speaks very well for Americans and for America. Americans feel proud to be Americans - Singaporeans should feel just as proud being Singaporeans. The best is yet to come!

The Obama people voted for change in the last election. After 4 years, there was little change. Indeed, if there was any change, it was that the economy became worse - and unemployment has risen in the USA. Same with voters in Singapore. 40% or more of them expected changed; they...

Opening hours from 7 am to 3 pm according to website. Business is so good that they can turn up their nose - even to someone like Donald Tsung. Patronise your friendly neighbourhood food centre or kopitiam instead - save money - and can wear shorts and slippers!

Isn't it ironical that the very person who says that he will fly out of the country at the earliest opportunity and gives up his citizenship is now clamouring that we should act like the Philippines and makes it easier for ex-Singaporeans to reclaim their citizenship? I thought these are the...

I never get points because all my posts are illogical although they expressed the truth! Instead, I get infracted when Sam get up from the wrong side of bed. I notice that on most occasions, he left other posters alone because he got up from the right side of bed! But who are we to...

Between PM Lee and his younger brother, it is the younger one who is lugging the heavy sacks and laughing all the way to the bank! And the younger brother doesn't have to put up with all the complains and trivialities of the peasants, and shaking hands and forcing a smile with every Tom...

"poorer citizens" just soaked up all the goodies the government given out each year. They are a liability. Directors on the other hand open their mouths and make money for the companies. They are an asset for the company. Insurance companies make money because when you want to make a...

Sam would be extremely proud of being afflicted with vitiligo, if he has not already bleached his skin. Many early white descendents of Australia are convicts - armed robbers, wife-bashers, rapists, anti-monach, mutin-ists. Angmoh is best! They came and eliminated the black aborigines from...

Quite right! Malaysians used to pay 200 ringit to enter Genting Highland Casinos. Now no need!. Malaysian CIQ also used fingers scanning - now the machines are there for show gathering dust. You have your hair on your head now - it will be gone before you realise it!!!

If, if, if - if LKY has been the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Malaysia would have been transformed from third world to first world in less than a generation! Malaysian don't have to wait until Wawasan 2020 - if ever - to achieve first world status! There will be less corruption in Sabah and...

Do you also realise that they display the words on the security crime-scene tape upside down? Is it meant for people inside the burnt-out building to read?

What about the Philipppines? The security guards in kid-and-family restaurants like Macdonalds or Jollibee are armed with guns. In fact, in shopping centres and any big and medium shops and restaurants the security guards are armed with guns. Do you feel safer? An indication is that you...

He can quickly take cover when there is a fire.

Why must you zap when you disagree with a post? Is that the only way you can respond? Can't you respond in a more civilised way - using your head instead of your fist? Basically it's rampant bullying tactic in this forum - supported and crafted by Sam no less.

If this case happens in Thailand or Malaysia, the CCTV video would be in Youtube already. The father, being an insurance broker or agent, knows that compensation can be a lot more - especially for a multi-million dollar transport company and a multi-billion dollar government with one of the...

Whether this Aussie has logic or not, it's immaterial - Singapore cannot be a model for China's governance - notwithstanding the fact that the USA, Britain and Australia love Singapore so much as to sat up factories and offices here and to allow the tiny island to buy their sophisticated weapons...

She could have said some politically-correct and encouraging words to the mothers and fathers who are concerned about their children's education, physical well-being and their future. She could have said some nice words that parents and family-friendly companies like OCBC would feel good...

. Surely some suffered, but the multi-ethnic nation and the majority of the people benefitted as a whole, including the stability in Southeast Asia vs Sukarto's messy Confrontasi. There was less problem of secessionist movement (like in East Timor or Aceh) and ethnic unrest in the entire...

LKY used to say : It's better to pay the fellow what he deserves on the table for all to see than to pay the fellow a little on the table but for him to go around collecting a lot under the table where none can see (non verbatim). I will have to stop here quoting more words of wisdom -...

This reminds us of President Suharto. He was seen as a very kind and humble man who lived a simple life when he was president, well liked by many Indonesians. However the wealth amassed by his family was legendary - including his son Hutomo Mandala Putra and daughter Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana...
