so yr frens come to yr house u also must dress up? is tat the rule? i never bother cos it's my home and I wear shorts and t-shirt even when my frens are over for dinner wearing proper shirt and pants jeans.

For Home visits, there is a separate discussion as you will need to define the guest and occasion first to proceed.
Eg if you are expecting a mp, a pastor etc to come, you need to at least grab a shirt minimum collared to round neck (not singlet tank top etc) to receive the guest. In this case, the host can be of lower dress code. However if you are inviting them to your home for a party or ceremony, then again you need to be of same or higher dress code than the guest.
If is your friend, define the friendship level.
The same.person coming to your house and meeting outside the same rules applies

Wang Yi got RID of his tie OUT of concern for Vivian.

It's a signal to Vivian - "Can I pop over at your 31 Ridout Rd bungalow tonight where we can both change into something way more comfortable and engage in some serious activity?" **Wink Wink!

[ChinaCommunistSG]

To be fair, people hardly wearing tie now, who are the people that still wear tie ? Hotel security guards and people who work in funeral parlour

This question had been posed to the service excellence trainer.
The answer - because when you doesn't follow the rule, you already lose some of the battle before it started. Trainer was talking about when giving presentation to potential client to clinch business deals or attending a interview where the stakes are high.

The guest see abnormal behaviour of host... take down his tie is not about respect....

surprise... maybe looking as if quest is going to get a special welcome like BBQ at the poolside... or wild wild party reception....

Maybe where host was mugged by enemy and he throw code signal to the quest warning something deadly ahead after the door... get ready to duck ..

Suspicious, raise eyebrows .... warning, adversary ahead... enemy about...

Vivian shd resign... no excuse... scared the VIP guest is State treason...

Actually in my humble opinion, the new era pap official white shirt and pants with its logo is a very professional and clean cut dress code. It is slim fit with top notch material. Very original.
They should wear this for all office events as it look very stylish too and completely different from the old pap era.
It doesn't requires a tie yet it look very formal..a very very safe bet for all kinds of occasion even when receiving high grade officials from all over the world.

See for yourself - tailored tapered slim fit

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Just shows singkieland is nothing but a bitch of the chicons

Seems that Vivan has hedge his bet right with Wang Yi. Qin Gang has been ousted , Wang Yi remains the clear winner.

 

[Loofydralb]

Damn. Vivian is losing his underwear (and tie) paying for his rent!

 

[bobby]

Donch need to apologise… just invite Wang Yi to Ridout mansion for high tea so that the Chinese can understand our minister’s lifestyle and fashion wear.

 

[batman1]

He did not bring Wang Yi to his B&W bungalow ?

 

[steffychun]

Got to punish Vivian.

 

[hofmann]

So if LHL apologizes for his autist attempt at humour with the pork soup on tap joke, would the Chinese apologize for seizing our tanks in HK?

For fuck’s sake, he had one job - look presentable for a formal meeting and he failed in that? Even a fucking insurance agent wears a tie to meet a client.

I think Vivian is finally implementing his Project Clown makeup project
