Press Release of People's AlliancePress Release of People's Alliance Over the years, Singaporeans have clamored for a United Opposition to take on the ruling People’s Action Party.

Twitter was silencing opinions from medical experts on Covid-19Twitter was silencing opinions from medical experts on Covid-19 Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, the company was supposedly helping the governement censor expert medical opinion and advice to enable the government to push through its deadly vaccine mandates. Before Elon Musk, Twitter even denied the government's own data to ensure that the vaccine mandates were "politically...

Upgrading of advertising networks (Oops)Upgrading of advertising networks (Oops) The testing/upgrading has been completed on April 24, but there was a slight hiccup in that our techie accidentally set the caching for the website to "manual" and forgot to switch it back to "auto" after running some tests.

Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia - never,’ says Biden in PolandUkraine will never be a victory for Russia - never,’ says... I refer to The Straits Times Opinion, “‘Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia - never,’ says Biden in Poland” (Feb 22) and “Ukraine crisis could get worse before it gets better: Vivian” (ST, Feb 22). The Ukraine war is already in progress for one year, and whether how long it would last?, in a great...

The Senseless Policy Of Qualifying Salaries For ForeignersThe Senseless Policy Of Qualifying Salaries For Foreigners I refer to the Qualifying salaries for Spass, EP and others and the "minimum qualifying salaries" implemented rules by MOM (LINK) I cant help notice the flaw of this policy.
