Public prosecutors in Singapore I’ve heard folks at the AGC take pride in the fact that apparently unlike in other jurisdictions, public prosecutors in Singapore are NOT directed to view getting a conviction + the highest penalty for every defendant before the courts as the goal/a win, but to seek a just verdict and sentence based on a fair trial and...
Disgracing ‘The Quintessential System Of Justice’ The hypocrisy of calling for others to respect our justice system while ignoring due process when it suits our own goals diminishes our credibility and is an equal threat to a just and fair society. When office-holders were products of the party's establishment, this mostly didn't matter, as they quite naturally acted...
Locals Are Less Likely To Be Let Go Than Foreigners? I read the front page of STimes today 15 September 2020 that unemployment is rising steadily but MOM notes that locals are less likely to let go than foreigners. How would they know? They surveyed all the employers? They checked the passes they approved or rejected? I have been talking with many PMETs who lost their jobs,...
Lazada is not a safe, reliable place to do shopping after... This is to warn everyone Lazada is not a safe, reliable place to do shopping after Alibaba's acquisition.
Here's the story of what happened 2 and a half months ago.
I bought a Toshiba instant water heater and it was faulty. Instead I called up Toshiba for repair and was told that technician would attend repair within...
Objective view of Liew Mun Leong versus Parti Liyani fiasco
Honest speaking, I did not follow up very closely on the case. But I hope to be objective in my views and that is what a democratic society should be.
I think there are 4 possibilities for this case.
1) The police is indeed sluggish in the case by with no evil intention to frame Parti Liyani.
2) The police...
Dismissal of Liew Mun Leong What is wrong with Dilhan Pillay Sandrasegara (CEO of Temasek International)? Unlike volunteers at HOME, CAG chairman is paid handsomely for his services.
The longer Temasek takes to dismiss Liew the angrier will be members of the public. If Temasek thinks that public anger will go away, it will be sorely disappointed.

Using Xenophobia As 'Defend And Attack' Strategy I refer to this article on TodayOnline and found the following statement troubling, "Because what we say cannot be unsaid… And everyone — Singaporeans, new citizens, Singapore-born, others who are here — will all be looking at this." It looks to me to be a form of attack strategy. It looks like when they have...
Elite Bullying A Pitiful Maid
After reading this article on TodayOnline, some thoughts came to me. This party groomed such character to key position in state enterprise? And it seems they are in love with such character, I see many samples in parliament also.
This guy was making so much at one stage. Why the family would do this a maid who...
On 'Free Riders' As I listened intuitively again to the PM’s speech on Wednesday to the Presidential address of our 14th Parliament, I can’t help but feel the current incessant attacks on the PM’s remarks about “free riders” have been taken out of context, though the PM was desperately trying to buy his way out of the argument,...
Jamus Lim on 'free riders' A free rider, as defined in economics, is an individual (or group) that reaps the benefits of the actions of others, without paying the cost (or underpaying for it). It is a form of market failure, and characterizes nonexcludable goods (those whose use cannot be restricted).
In his opening address to the 14th Parliament,...
Civil Servants, unelected can carry this? Holier than thou! The pm in his parliamentary debate said and I quote, ‘It is a big decision, S$5 billion of supplementary budget. Civil servants, unelected can carry this?’
Let me explain. In the Civil Service, financial prudence comes in many parts and this is embedded in their in-house Instruction Manual.
It...
Hypocrisy At Its Max! Singaporeans have been bluffed by the brilliant marketing of their slave masters. Lovely and great messages on MSM and social media by the slave masters seem to be doing wonders for sheep. Remember the lovely and understanding message after ten seats were won by oppositions during GE 2020, " Election results a clear...
Yahoo Singapore Blocks Readers From Commenting I love to read and comment on Yahoo articles particularly Singapore politics and quite few weeks ago, I believe you may have seen this message, "Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending...
Parliament committed to holding government accountable? Dear Speaker of Parliament,
I chanced upon an article on ST which I rarely read, except for updates to what is occurring around Singapore on the Home Edition and saw what you told the State Media on “Parliament committed to holding government accountable “.
I got a little curious as to how can Parliament hold...
CK Tang supposed Hijab Issue Before the furore from a turban incident of Mr Parvitar Singh has yet to simmer, another similar controversy has arisen to reignite the whole issue on racial and religious equality in a predominantly Chinese multi racial setting.
This episode should suffice to further educate the already learned Mdm Ho Ching on the difference...
