While Cpt Nik is more enlightened than many Singaporean and Malaysia Muslims, he's still straitjacketed by his religion and its rituals: 1. He'll never keep a dog inside his house. They can only be outside in the yard guarding the house. A Muslim will not treat a dog as a pet or companion. 2...

TSMC Arizona is doomed to be a failure. The Taiwanese just couldn't find enough skilled AMDK to fill the posts, and those who qualify aren't committed enough to adhere to the high standards required in the world's top chip company. On top of that they have to send every AMDK engineer back to...

I see this kind accidents daily on the expressways, esp on KJE, BKE and SLE which have lots of jiuhu bikers. Basically these motorcyclists split lanes at very high speeds so that when a car or lorry needs to filter the driver usually can't see the motorcyclist in the rear view mirror especially...

Customer Feedback: An open letter to Air India on the safety and health concerns of their commuters. Recently, I had to take a direct flight to Delhi due to an emergency, hoping to reduce travel time. My experience with Air India on flights between Vancouver and Delhi was disappointing...

Trump or Harris, America is screwed. One is a serial philanderer and convicted felon who always promises more than he delivers, the other is an alcoholic with a dubious track record and a demonic laugh. Either party will have little effect on the people's lives because the power elite, political...

These are very wise words by Mahbubani. He's saying that Taiwan already has de facto independence, their passport is recognised by 150+ nations, they can trade with any nation in the world, their people enjoy a level of freedom unparalleled in Asia, they have powerhouse industries. If you...

If you were innocent, you'd want to bide your time in a cell until the verdict is overturned because you have hope and faith in the justice system.

Execution precludes the possibility of overturning a wrongful conviction based on unearthing of new evidence. It's been estimated up to 6% of death row prisoners in America are actually innocent. So, from a justice point of view, assuming similar deterrent effect, life imprisonment without...

There's no evidence that the death penalty deters more than life imprisonment without parole. Personally I'd prefer the former for myself if I were convicted of drug trafficking.

A Malaysian Malaysia was LKY"s lifelong dream. Its financial and economic potential would be 100x of what the tiny red dot is today. Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Many Jewish emigres in America gave up on Judaism after the Holocaust because they saw that their God did not protect them as a chosen people. Most of them turned to Buddhism, yoga and various New Age religions. They're generally peace-loving and progressive. The real evil Jews are the orthodox...

Gold-backed currency is the holy grail. Creating a new currency takes a lot of planning and requires broad consensus. In the meantime using national currencies makes more sense as they're easily accessible and convertible.

China needs their raw materials and commodities. They need China's manufactured goods. Symbiotic relationship.

Where have you been? This guy may have multple degreess but none of them has been proven fraudulent yet. (I know a PRC here who obtained a PhD in Engineering and an MD before the age of 35, both in our unis). And as for the Chinese being 'bigger' in paper fraud, it's obvious your prejudice has...

Sounds like a racist episode, given the anti-Chinese sentiments right now after the stabbing of the Japanese boy in China. The bakayaro manager would never have apologized if not for the CCTV. Don't be taken in by the fake courtesies of Japanese service staff - their arrogance barbarism always...

You mean a teacher cannot moonlight? When UNRWA refugee schools are being bombed and destroyed daily one wonders this teacher's salary is even being paid regularly. How's he going to support his family? Even our teachers moonlight (mainly giving private tuition, which is technically illegal).

We sanctioned Russia and during LHY's term as PM have become seen as a US running dog. Why would China and Russia admit us?

When in Rome, do as Romans do. When I went to Bali for the first time decades ago, I didn't know the dress code for the Hindu temples there. Went to a temple in bermudas and was denied entry. Ended up borrowing a sarong to wear into the temple.
