Re: PM Lee now says: Total population in 2030 will be "SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER" than 6.9m simply because he doesn't have a clue. It's like saying sorry, words are free when it doesn't mean a thing. What a sad day.

I would think if LO has the guts, she should stand up to the press and give her side of the story and end the speculation and name-calling once and for all. She at the very least needs to ask for privacy for her family members. I believe she must have felt betrayed, by PA and Palmer. This...

That will be Allan Wu, a host for Amazing Race Asia. Thought it was reported they moved to Shanghai?

there are actually quite a lot of mothers who think that PSLE will decide the kid's future, I was surprised when I first heard that - especially when they are educated and a working professional. They think by getting into a good sec sch will determine if they will get into a good JC followed...

This is my own view. Ontario's economy is more diversified and less dependent on any one sector so they be less affected than Alberta's. The main problems for Alberta are: 1. politics; 2. high dependency on oil exports. Alberta's largest customer is USA for which they sell oil at a $20 discount...

In Australia and Canada, getting into their teaching profession needs to either be educated there or certified through their teaching course even if you are an experienced teacher in Singapore. But to get into Singapore's teaching profession, even graduating from PRC will be qualified...

It all depends on who these people are to you and why are you assessing them for? For someone you really care about and matters to you in your life, intention is very important, action and perception does not matter. For someone who for eg is working hand in hand with you to achieve...

There was once they started to charge me 3G when I didn't even subscribe to it, the service just turned on in my phone and the bill that month was very high. I called them up, as usual, the waiting and a 'foreign talent' answered the phone. After making my complaint, she offered to give me a...

Re: homework and researchRe: Migration for Successful Singles/Couples just thought I add to this. I know someone who has obtained his PR but got a job without being physically present in the country. He got an interview via SKYPE and they offered him a job. This is in Australlia. Boss I...

I like your answer. I think if someone were to ask which is better, they do not know what they want. They have to know the "best" place may not be suitable for everyone because the place they want to go must be suitable for one's lifestyle. Anyway, "best" is different to different people...

I personally know some old pple in Hougang don't bother to listen to rally, speeches and what nots because their minds are set to just cross on the hammer. Asked them why and their reason is simple - they don't like DC's face - dunno why :D. But they still go for free goodies when he organised...

Reminds me of an incident in NTUC. There was an Indian FT q-ing to pay in front at the cashier, his bill was about $10. Guess what? He took out mostly 5-cent coins and started counting, the cashier gave a huge sigh but has no choice so started counting with him.
