Re: Swiss Teacher visits S'pore Pri school expecting swiss standard...say damn HORRIB Has anyone asked .. why do we need a Swiss teacher ?

LKY's models were the class system of Imperial Britain for nation building and the Roman Catholic Church for governing the hierarchy. When LHL talks about natural aristocracy, it is not a concept he came to by himself. All no accident and developed according to a master plan.

How is this different from the Chinaman who ran illegal foodstalls and kept coming back to repeat his offence. Didn't LHL praise his grit and said he admired his perseverance and how good it would be for us to have people like that if only they applied themselves in the right way ?

They still havent got over their LKY fixation they need a lookalike to take over ?

I am not sure if the sibling's message has come through loud and clear. They do not believe LHL is a good PM and Singapore may be better off without him. While the thrust of their actions is not to undermine him as PM, they clearly do not care if he steps down. Do you think they will so...

Yes , I sense that much of the animosity in the relationship is due to the actions and ambitions of HC. Note the siblings went so far as to say she used the influence of her husband to get to TOP civil servants ....would have been quite an exposé if they had details. I can't recall if this...

Oh yeah, I hear they are claiming Leonardo Di Caprio, George Clooney and JLo. Is nobody safe ? Who next ? Gwyneth Paltrow ?

It is true God does great things through simple men, the more to show His greatness. The rest of us can either sit on our hands or do what we can. Arguably , the rich and influential are subject to more temptations. It does not mean they cannot offer God their work.

It is true that humility is an essential attribute of a true Christian. However pretending to be an unknown when everybody knows you is false humility. True humility would be putting people at ease and being genuine. It is what is in the heart that counts. Yes , within church everybody is equal...

Was there years ago but I remember, there were staff on hand on the concourse telling you which bus to take to your destination. Impressed. Remember thinking to myself " Hey Singapore, think you are that good ?".

@Scroo: "Ps. As an aside, PSC conveniently removed the first sitting rule for OMS and all scholarship. So we in the elite Admin Service people repeated their A levels. So this govt has form. ". Such a significant lowering of the hurdle is more than likely to bring the offspring of some elite...

Yes. SJI . And one of the longest serving Teachers there.

Singapore is becoming a joke. " Let's reserve this presidency for a Malay. Now what exactly is a Malay ? It's what we say it is". We can't even succeed at racial discrimination. And the greatest joke of all is that even Malays don't care if a Malay is President. Has any Malay outside the PAP...

Dominic Yip the ex-teacher ?

Yes, they can survive if capable. Is Halimah really capable to be president ?

I am wondering too. Halimah may not want controversy to dog the rest of her life. If the Lees are not firmly in charge everyone who rose high on their coat tails, instead of sheer ability , can fall very far. Presidency may not be the sinecure it once was especially if public mood changes.

That's because King John was tyrannical and exploitative. People never learn.

Roy Ngerng and Amos are truly nobodies. Their opinions carried no weight. There was little point in suing them. It was just petty bullying. LSW, LHY and LWL are not nobodies. And it is clear the PM cannot take them on. Their views will be taken very seriously. Singaporeans will ask what does...

Support outsourced to Bangalore ?

This is the power of someone who needs not be afraid. If the AGC proceeds with contempt of court ( outdated law which the Brits have ignored for decades) , there will be a day in court and lots of dirty linen will be aired. So what if he is convicted? It is Singapore's reputation that will be...
