You’ve certainly made your presence felt, but this is where I step off. Continuing to engage with someone whose arguments consist solely of vulgarity and bluster is beneath anyone who values intellect. I won’t be wasting my energy on you any further. It’s telling that most users here don’t...

The classic 'PAP IB' accusation, a tired trope trotted out whenever someone disagrees with your half-baked, profanity-laden rants. How original. You’ve truly cracked the code, Sherlock. Clearly, anyone who doesn’t wallow in mindless hatred must be on the payroll. Genius deduction. If you...

Ah, there it is. Predictable. When you can't formulate an intelligent rebuttal, resorting to vulgarities is always the fallback. It's almost as if the lack of a coherent argument is directly proportional to the volume of expletives used. You’re like one of those undereducated potbelly uncles in...

Singaporeans voting for the PAP seems like voting against their own interests. While Trump’s “America First” policy might have been controversial, at least it put American citizens at the center. In contrast, PAP seems to prioritize its own agenda and the interests of elites and foreign...

On the surface, this dandy initiative seems like a positive effort to encourage cohesion among Singapore’s diverse ethnic communities. Promoting understanding, tolerance, and respect for different cultural backgrounds is important in a multicultural society. But when you dig deeper, there's an...

Classic "grass is greener on the other side" remorse tale. She burned every bridge back in Hong Kong, waving slogans about oppression and colonial nostalgia while clamoring for freedom. She fled to her beloved former colonial masters in the UK, expecting a utopia. Fast forward, and now she’s...

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/foster-deeper-understanding-to-find-position-acceptable-to-most-as-society-changes-edwin-tong He noted that global trends towards deglobalisation and nativism may strain social cohesion in Singapore. “Singapore faces a pivotal choice – commit to openness...

Nativism and deglobalization have become the latest buzzwords dominating political discourse, leaving governments scrambling to address growing discontent. While they may seem like radical reactions, these movements stem from real frustrations tied to unregulated immigration and the erosion of...

The best platform to attack PAP online? Let’s get one thing straight: blindly attacking every policy, regardless of its merit, makes you sound like an uneducated redneck buffoon who thinks yelling louder equates to being right. If you can’t distinguish between meaningful critique and mindless...

Ah, the sheer elegance of your vocabulary, truly a sign of a refined mind. Let me spell it out for you: you don’t have to read every thread on this forum. Nobody’s holding a gun to your head and forcing you to engage with posts in Chinese or Malay. If you don’t like them, here’s a...

Your perspective on the purpose of a university degree is thought-provoking, but I respectfully disagree with the conclusions you’ve drawn about the realities faced by local graduates in Singapore. While it’s true that a university education broadens one’s knowledge and perspective, it is also...

While you raised some valid points, there are a few critical aspects that need to be addressed to form a more balanced view. Firstly, the claim that Singapore’s restrictive migrant policies ensure a lack of illegal migrants is valid, but it does not address the crux of the issue: the influx of...

The influx of foreign workers into white-collar positions in Singapore has indeed led to a situation where many local university graduates find themselves struggling to secure the jobs they are qualified for. While foreign workers are essential for filling certain gaps in the labor market...

I see your point, but I personally view those thread as more like advertisements. They're not necessarily harmful, just easily ignored. Sure, they might not add much in terms of personal commentary, but they don't disrupt the flow of the forum the way a constant spammer does in every thread with...

The trend of retired SAF scholars moving directly into leadership roles in private organisations has become increasingly problematic. While they bring credentials from their military careers, their skills often fail to align with the demands of the corporate world. This misalignment is starkly...

The forum was like a hoarder’s house, once overflowing with junk that made it impossible to navigate or even step inside. Nobody wanted to visit, let alone stay, because it was suffocating and chaotic. Now that the spammer has decided to off herself and the clutter has been cleared, the space is...

It’s true that Boss & moderators were hands-off for years, but that complacency came at the cost of meaningful discussions. With the regular spammer gone, we have an opportunity to reclaim this space and make it worth engaging in again. Her absence isn’t a cure-all, but it removes a persistent...

I agree, overcrowding and the plan to accommodate a population of 10 million have fueled significant concerns, contributing to the reluctance to have babies. The bulk of this growth is expected to come from foreigners who bypass NS obligations and, in some cases, gain instant citizenship with...

"Stop at Two" policy introduced in the 70s aimed to control overpopulation during a time when Singapore was grappling with limited resources and rapid urbanization. Families were encouraged to have no more than two children through incentives for sterilization and disincentives like restricted...

Discussions about Singapore’s population strategy often shift to gender inequality and the burden of National Service (NS) on local men. These issues frequently frame the decision to have children within the context of fairness and societal expectations. Without a doubt. NS imposes tangible...
