Redwire Times, 12 Oct 2014 The SAF expects Singaporeans to sacrifice for their country, but says it shouldn�t tie down these fresh-from-the-oven locals because they �will not give their best�. It gives them a choice of vocation, but not Singaporeans. Is it possible that the powers that be believe Singaporeans can�t be trusted to choose the vocation that they can serve the best in, even though

The Malay Mail Online, 12 Oct 2014 Why is it that an openly Christian organisation (www.focusonthefamily.com) was permitted to conduct such a workshops within the secular Singapore school system? This level of influence challenges the idea of a secular state. Nowhere else is a person more vulnerable to conditioning that at school which is perhaps why groups with social agendas are so keen to

The Alternative View Facebook, 9 Oct 2014 PAP Supporters are calling for Han Hui Hui's citizenship to be revoked. The last we checked, the Constitution grants fundamental civil liberties to all citizens, whether new or old. This means Han Hui Hui is entitled to her right to protest within Hong Lim Park as the law prescribes. And if we look back in history, we can also find a parallel for these

Sonofadud.com, 7 Oct 2014 I am sure the case of Dr Susan Lim is still in many people�s minds. She was the doctor taken to court by the SMC for overcharging the Brunei royal family and suspended from practice for three years. The courts found her guilty and after her appeal failed they awarded costs against her. This means that not only did she have to pay her own lawyers but also the SMC�s

Financial Times Blog, 4 Oct 2014 Singapore and Hong Kong share much in common. But this weekend the big difference is that Singapore�s streets are quiet, with traffic flowing as normal, while Hong Kong is on edge as the Occupy movement mobilises masses of protesters against widely unpopular electoral arrangements foisted on its people by Beijing. Singapore, a tightly governed island nation, has

Hardwarezone Forum, 4 Oct 2014 Two crackdowns on prostitution activities in public flats in Ang Mo Kio in June and Jurong West last month have confirmed that prostitution has flourished beyond the traditional boundary of our red-light district. These are only two cases that have surfaced. The audacity to operate prostitution in our heartlands shows how prosperous this business has grown and may

My Singapore News, 29 Sep 2014 These three words have now been used in a political battle to prove who is more caring and more like angels. Sad, very very sad that these children have become an issue in a political tussle for attention, become political tool or cannon fodder. Anyone want to ask why I did not post a single photo of these children and actually refused to mention their condition?

Singapore Notes, 29 Sep 2014 Right on cue, the mute button was toggled off. Politicians who stood idly by and played dumb for weeks while a 87 year old pioneer generation member was in grave danger of being robbed and pillaged by a foreign intruder were suddenly jostling to leap into a feeding frenzy. You know brains have left the building when "Return our CPF" is construed as a phrase to "

The Huffington Post, 26 Sep 2014 Singapore wants western tourists, investors, and contractors to enjoy superb seaside dinners and clean, efficient public services and private markets. It doesn't want them to notice, behind the fa�ade, a tight-fisted governance that generates a subtle but pandemic self-censorship among its citizens that's even tighter than the self-censorship that some American

My Singpaore News, 24 Sep 2014 We have done great things, built great cities like Suzhou, Tianjin Eco city, F1, great Gardens By the Bay, and now we are going to build smart city or cities in India. We have contributed no small sum to the building of Nalanda University. How much have all these great projects cost us and what were the returns in absolute monetary terms? Let me touch on the

Atans1.wordpress.com, 18 Sep 2014 From the accounts of Dr Lim Hock Siew, Ms Teo Soh Lung, Francis Seow and others, the ISD used the following techniques: standing against a wall for hours hooding subjection to noise sleep deprivation very little food and drink. These are rough, very rough, though to be fair not as rough as �waterboarding� (a US favourite) or electric pods on genitals a Latin

Hardwarezone Forum, 17 Sep 2014 Pap gov even did a tranny tv ad to praise the PG card everyday. I thought it really will help the pioneer generation cope with the medical cost. But when I saw my mum's medical bill for her regular checkup at poly clinic, I realize the card is overhyped. Her medical bill is around $76. The PG card only gives her a miserable discount of $3.20, less than 5% discount.

All Singapore Stuff, 15 Sep 2014 Undeniably, our loose immigration has brought in fakes from all over the world. We just had Yang Yin from China who was granted PR and EP almost instantaneously when he claimed to have graduated from the prestigious Zhejiang University of China, a China Ivy League in the class of Fudan University and Shanghai Jiaotong University. However his job was a tour guide
