It's just plain ridiculous. A stockbroker background can be a head in engineering industry and an engineering background can manage billions of dollars. Just need to be born into the family or get connected by someone's marriage.

Mr Sam, we all know you are trying to make this forum more balanced by encouraging more PAP fans to speak out but you are kind of like overdoing it and somehow it seems that you are trying too hard and it comes across as quite fake. But hey, *clap clap* for your hard work :D.

Happy New Year to everyone here, do not give in to hard times looming ahead. Live simple, live healthy and be happy. Thanks to scroobal and the bros here for providing so much helpful information, entertainment, jokes and all. I've learnt a lot from you guys.

how can they not rob our jobs? MBA with 5-9 yrs (why can't he give a definite duration?) and only asking for $3500? don't even mind contract etc. The last I saw was an Indian PhD working for abt $4k+ when a local at his position is probably a graduate with just a couple of years experience.

It's so freaking crowded I usually choose to go where the people are not going. Going to a mall, can't find parking lot, at times long q just to get in and find a lot. Restaurants long q, food court can't find space to sit. Supermarket at convenient locations are usually very packed, at time...

Keep your spirits high and be optimistic, it will help in your recovery. Have faith and you will get well soon. Good Luck!

the article said she was found unconscious facing down but why is there a pic showing her lying on her side?

WOW, well said. I have to applaud you for that. We have a 6 figure savings, then 7.... Now, who's next with an EIGHT figure savings?

He must be joking when he said this: Singapore's permanent residence application form is only four pages of double-sided paper, yet it is a lot stricter and this is definitely not true: Singapore initially only gives you a work visa, not permanent residence. You only can apply for permanent...

haven't dealt with relative but with friend, before he can start to talk about MLM, I warn him that if he is going to start selling his MLM product to me, friendship may turn sour and he got my message. For GF a bit hard, you need to know the reason why she is buying them. To help her...

I do agree with you about Singapore's model is not the best but then that depends on what one tries to show. If education means to show results, think we are pretty good at that - still not as good as the PRCs - think PISA scores. If you have kids going through the primary to secondary...

it's healthy to grieve as long as there is designated time. Don't be afraid to let your partner know that you are grieving with them, it will strengthen your bond with them. It's good to see such emo thread in this forum.

Is this their new strategy? Did you notice at times when there is rain in the morning, the ministry will say prepare for flash flood and you may end up with sunny day. I agree with you, any upside and they will probaby claim credit.

Maybe the reporter heard that the MIWs are changing the immigration rule to admit those who can show $1mil in cash?

I also say it's his money and he can do what he wants with it. Just because you don't know does not mean he never donate...... and he can contribute to charity in many ways, why must he tell you? or even tell the world about it? So what if he donates? Do you gain anything besides reading it...

For once, I agree totally with Uncle Sam :D. China started low cost manufacturing and many companies from the west jump in. After a couple of years, China companies tried so very hard to go a step higher by creating their own designs and brands.... this never worked out well at all. They...

wow, someone will be fired.... this time, saying sorry is not enough...

and sometimes bus lanes are at about 30m - 50m intervals..... wonder if they are expecting the cars to swerve in and out like F1?

thanks scroobal, this is very helpful. With no transparency from govt, it has created so much discussions on various sites. Best bet is a summary like this that arrived from hear-say from people who has done it. Last I know someone who left with a kid above 7 n below 13 does not have to pay bond.
