That was ages ago and anyway I think that got back in a way by naming 2 of their warships after those commandos despite objections from Singapore. So its all in the deep distant past and evened out somewhat.

Indonesia does not have to take anyone of its neighbours head on since none dare initiate anything against it in the first place.

LHL will of course understand that he cannot take Indonesia head on and come out on top. This issue may never be resolved unless the Indons themselves make it happen. LHL however has to raise some form of objections at least for public consumption.

I have just one word for this. Shambles.

This is exactly how Chee has allowed himself to be marshalled. He is so occupied being on the defensive that he has little capacity to go on a proper offensive which basically would be to reach out to the peoples' hearts and minds. In the grand scheme of things, he is sweating the small stuff...

Chee is correct but only to a certain extent because these are 2 separate issues. In Chee's case he is venturing into the arena of politics and should expect this kind of rough play. Heck it is not even rough compared to the mudslinging in US politics and the fist swinging in Taiwan. As for the...

Press reports with images do tell a tale of course but everything is magnified somewhat with youtube these days. Any altercation or argument like what we have seen lately with this overweight lady and the LTA officer will attract the handphone cameras and everything will be caught realtime. You...

This is the new phenomenon these days. If you misbehave in public then be prepared for your antics to be caught and put on social media. Anything bad or juicy will result in this kind of response.

If everyone's effort, diligence and commitment were roughly equal then there would be less inequality in Singapore.

My immediate thoughts are ' I dont know what to say'

From scroobal's post above. I would expect this surreptitious manner of easing herself politically not only in support of her husband but to sow the seeds for her son in the next 2 to 3 years. I tend to concur with this observation that it is not about her entering the political arena in the...

She did hit a small jackpot recently when Temasek invested in Jumbo. IPO was 25 cents and they probably got it much cheaper. It is a small gain though if one looks at the big picture but it is a buy low and looking good to sell high scenario.

Gay Roy wants to go into the kitchen but expects it to be cool and comfortable there. He needs to be of sterner stuff before anyone of note will take him seriously.

This ' helicopter ' term started during the early days of NS or so I was told. The officer in charge of a mixed platoon wanted to record the educational backgrounds of his men starting with which language stream they were schooled in. So he asked them in turn ' you English or Chinese educated'...

The only problem is this type of stuff can happen not just to durians. Even when you order food in restaurants the people commit such acts without any particular reason other than just to be mean.

Clinton also had local pho when in Ho Chi Minh city. I saw some photos that were taken in the pho place.

Chee is not a stupid person so how did it come to this? Lack of political savvy? Sabotage? Character?

Come on, it was and still is a good place to be. Admittedly these last few months were overly rowdy but there are rules now to respect. You provided an important outlet where one could get relief, learn and share stuff.
