SINGAPORE: National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan said investigations into NParks' purchase of the $2,200 Brompton foldable bicycles for staff considered all inputs.

[Leongsam]

Should be "so MUCH controversial news breaks out..." as "news" is a non countable noun.

"Many' is correct. The bicycle is one. The flat is another. There are 2 of them here. He has a pretty daughter - makes it three. Hence, the news can be counted.

FFS, one can count pieces of news, not news itself.

Yes, if each of the incidents quoted is considered a 'news item', then they are countable.

'News' can also be used in a sentence to denote a noun which is countable.

Penang Laksa Khaw guilty of the following

1. TCSS Means Testing, claiming will relook carefully before Erections 2006 but fast forward implementation after Erections.

2. Forcing peasants to co-pay up to 50% for medical services where the norm is 30% in other east Asiatic societies.

3. Recommends peasants to send their old parents to die in foreign and cheaper hospices.

4. Punish greedy doctors e.g. Sulan Lim when Brunei despot complains big time but keeping quiet when other doctors take local peasants for many rides with sky high fees.

5. Retain silly quota for medical students and importing cheap Neh doctors after realising silly quota is root cause of many goondu problems e.g. population explosion via foreign immigration and aging.

The wheels of retribution grind slowly but surely.

Rare that Sam gets it wrong. But he is wrong now.

 

[LeMans2011]

C'mon people... he is here for a purpose - to teach peasants the meaning of hypocrisy

 

[The Philistine]

The wheels of retribution grind slowly but surely.

There is no such thing as retribution. Only the weak, deluded, and lazy believe in such nonsense.

 

[Kinana]

Why are these opposition people making mountain out of molehill again?
They are too lame?

 

[Loofydralb]

KBW is performing worse than the previous housing minister and that is unacceptable.

If he wants to bury his head in the sand, by all means, but don't do it at the expense of our next generation. PAP keeps harping on the danger of not burdening our children but that is what they are exactly doing with the current misdirection in housing.

Instead of concrete and clear policies, we have a minister playing Russian roulette.

He has to go. We need someone with clear direction with balls of steel to steer both public and private housing.

HDB should only be available to citizens single or married! Must not allowed to be sublet at anytime! The fundamentals are all wrong now!
