Singaporeans should tell themselves they DO NOT NEED a ruling party (PAP) to govern their country when their MPs either snoring away during Parliamentary sessions or stay at their homes or doing their own private business when they should be speaking in Parliament on how to serve their constituencies.

Unfair for MRT commuters to bear the costs of upgrading when... Yesterday (13 Feb), Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said that SMRT's operating costs were significantly higher than its fare income for the financial year ending March 2018.

For the love of our country, let's get it right this time The maturity of the majority of our voters are appalling to say the least.
Unfortunately, the voters hold two different yardstick of measurements; one for the ruling party and the other for the opposition.
In addition, their forgiveness and selective lapse of memory for the ruling party is jaw dropping despite the...

When it was Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew "Everything works, whether it is water, electricity or telexes and if it doesn’t, I want to know why and if I am not satisfied, which I often am not, the chief goes”.

Singapore, a nation that have no proper control of exploitation... We hear how bosses just give money to bangla and Indian workers to gamble on casinos on their behalf . We had seen how these foreign workers queued for the bak wa, roasted pork for their bosses . The story just go on and on. Now the next level, even burning of hell money done by foreign workers.

The Bleak Future Ahead So many people CPF emptied by housing. Maybe retired liao still have loans to pay off.
Jobs getting more unstable, can be replaced by foreigners.

Trust In Government Is Eroding
I could not agree more with Mr Viswa Sadasivan (ST forum, 5th Feb 2019) that confidence in the government is waning.

Stayers Suffer, Quitters Rejoicing Their Lives Singaporeans are a pragmatic bunch, and most take considerable pride in their no-nonsense approach to life in the rule-bound nation.

It is okay for them to be tourist, but to be employed and allowed to be in possible regular sexual contact with our wives and daughters and sisters and maybe...
Singapore Bicentennial 2019 - The Johor Connection
A cheeky thought - one group of people who should be celebrating 1819 are the current Johor Royal Family.
It was these few days, between 31 January and 6th February 1819 that the ancestor of the current Johor Royals sealed the deal of the century that eventually led them to become the new Sultans of Johor.
When...
