Desperation is the right word. Notwithstanding having a high IQ cabinet and senior civil service, highest in the planet and best paid to boot, we are far behind developed countries. Looking at the smug faces of our ministers you would think all was well. In a few short years we have lost our...

Re: [ Singapore News ] Beware of Indian : Sexually Assaulted 25-year-old Singapore Nu What an idiot. Who does he think he is ? An angmo ?

We have a system designed to produce first class honours scholars. In this it is massively successful. It does not aim to produce anything else. The assumption is that this brigade of worthies will take care of everything. If only it was that easy.

At sixes and sevens describes the press here. Afraid of their shadows.

All I care about, is , are the stats right. If so, that is what the DG of Education should be saying.

Just give us the answers. This is Sammyboy, gossip acceptable.

Didn't we expect this ? Our scholars are about to do it again. India does not need anything from us except our money. We do not understand their culture and even if we did, we cannot put up with it. Singapore's work culture is Angmo in style overlayed with our own idiosyncrasies. This guy...

Singapore is like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz who wishes he had a heart. All the Ads for the other countries have some element of truth. In Singapore, the beating heart is so hard to find even experienced Ad Agencies had to try their darnedest to imagine one. We are not fun, nor joy, nor...

Pardon my french , but which frigging minister or Perm Sec allowed this to happen. This uses English words but the phrase is barely literate. We'll be the laughing stock of the English speaking world. The quality of our senior civil servants and ministers is really deplorable. However , the...

Practice Dear PM , practice. Start by walking and chewing gum. Oh we have no gum ? Drags !

The guitar player is Tan Soo Khoon.

With so many examples from around the world to look at, why is this even a problem? Except that so many cronies invested in legacy systems are stubling blocks.

Re: Shengwu Strikes back!! Files complaint against AGC at the UN over PAP kangaroo co Our little domestic tiff is now international. Nice. LSW is right. Why didn't they go after people republishing the content if it is so wrong. Especially newspapers that make money from content.

In the U.K. , ministers resign rather than go against their conscience. This won't happen in Singapore. The last minister prepared to leave if they opposed him was OTC. Might explain why he was kicked upstairs to the presidency. They thought that was the end of it. What a surprise.

As NgiamTong Dow warned " we have been buying our own propaganda".

Actually it is a good question. If Skype and other things can come out of Estonia, why not us. However, it is PM Lee who has to look into it and answer the questions. Here's a hint :"Our horizons are too small".
