TR Emeritus needs your financial support
Dear readers
It's a little awkward, so we'll get straight to the point: On 1st December, we informed our readers that we are going on a semi-hiatus so that we can repair and upgrade our software and hardware to keep TR Emeritus (TRE) alive.
We also humbly made an appeal for financial support to help us offset...
The obscenity of our ministerial salaries Recently, I chanced upon an interesting infographics which depicts the 20 highest paid world leaders.
I used the data to compile the relativity between the world leaders' salaries and the GDP per capita of their respective countries (extreme right column).
As you can see from the table, the salaries of the heads...
Request for Footages/Witnesses on fight at Club Gaga on 20... My Nephew is presently held in custody by ‘E’ division police, which is behaving rather suspiciously.
Police claims that my Nephew is being held by them due to an unprovoked fight at Club Gaga on 20 Nov 18 that saw my Nephew being unlawfully restrained by a rival gang outside of the club where he was assaulted and...
SDP on Singapore-Malaysia border dispute Singapore's sovereignty cannot and must not be compromised by anyone and in any form. The current dispute with Malaysia presents a situation where we must be resolute in the defence of our sovereignty.
The paramount objective must be to protect the well-being of our people. To this end, we must pursue every avenue to...
Workers Party on Malaysian vessel intrusion into Singapore... The Workers’ Party notes with grave concern the deployment of Malaysian Government vessels into Singapore waters off Tuas West.
As fraternal neighbours with a wide-ranging bilateral relationship, both Singapore and Malaysia cooperate on many fronts, including the military front, with exercises and visits by senior...
Stop talking big Our leaders should stop talking big by telling the Malaysian ships to leave our waters or else. What if they refuse ? Just go ahead and sink their ships?
Whats the point of spending billions of dollars on buying big tanks , submarines and F35 planes when we do not have the guts to fight a war ?
Our army is now conducting...
Workers Party does not oppose for the sake of opposing? I refer to the captioned article on TISG. ( LINK )
I think Singaporeans have by and large, grown weary as they have towards the PAP, on the often made motherhood statements by the Workers Party (WP) which they do not intend to keep after being voted into Parliament.
If all they could do for the last 7 years was just...
Looks like some countries are back to their old tricks and...
I refer to the following article carried over on TISG with regards to political developments across the straits which is causing some disquiet here, especially from members of the ruling party.
I find Calvin Cheng and Tan Chuan Jin's "rally call" for us to be behind the PAP government over this issue to be fundamentally...
Do you want a government as uncaring as the PAP? No country in the World has a government which is indispensable. People said that India without Mahatma Gandhi would be very difficult for India, but look at how fast India is growing now.
Singapore has always been unequal. The PAP Ministers like to put the blame on others but not themselves. If you have a government...
Why Workers Party Never Mention The Arrest Of Terry Xu In... Why Workers Party (WP) never mention the arrest of Terry Xu in Parliament?
When WP was sued, The Online Citizen (TOC) came in defence. When WP got the whipping by PAP in the parliament, TOC was there for them. TOC was always there for the workers party. But when Terry Xu the editor of TOC was arrested, where were the...
Singapore’s uphill battle to maintain ASEAN unity Singapore’s year as the ASEAN chair was marked by several milestones in the deepening of regional peace and security. Ahead of the 33rd ASEAN summit from 11–15 November 2018 that finished with Singapore’s official handing over of the chairmanship to Thailand, Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan stated...
No maids allowed in Singapore Cricket Club? So this happened.
What I thought would be an enjoyable occasion with my dad, brother, his wife, three children and their helper turned out to be… not so nice.
We were at the Singapore Cricket Club, a historical landmark in Singapore. I was there as a guest to watch my tough-as-nails nephew, whom I adore, play some...
An open letter from 'Willy Sum' Dear Fellow Singaporeans,
It has been a tulmetenous period for both TOC's Mr Terry Xu and myself, since our undue "arrests" a fortnight ago.
We have been rounded up by top CID officers, possibly under directions from the Commissioner himself! We had our IT equipment seized, the items that have very much been the tools...
The Online Citizen hounded by Singapore police Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns the actions of Singapore’s police in seizing electronic devices from a news website, The Online Citizen (TOC), and interrogating its editor and a blogger who posted a comment on the site. Carried out on spurious grounds, these actions have all the hallmarks of an unacceptable act...
