Who Moved My Singapore Cheese

Is PAP, for, or against Nuclear power?

2011-03-14T09:48:00.001+08:00

I'm back to the blogosphere. I'm back because the Japan earthquake prodded me to think of bringing up a topic for bargaining between the ruling party and the people of Singapore before the upcoming election.I thought of writing in to the Straits Times, but I suspect my letter won't be the lucky one that gets published. I believe a question needs to be answered by PAP, if not by PM Lee Hsien Loong

Recently the Ministry of National Development, Singapore, released an appraisal report [read this] and the result was..no prizes once again for guessing.. "The best-scoring town councils appear to be Tanjong Pagar, where Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew is an MP, and Ang Mo Kio, the Prime Minister’s constituency." As if the heavens heard the outcries, once again a "freak" flash flood had to occur

Being a Piscean, I'm given the legitimacy to be branded as one of the more idealistic and dreamy individuals around. Today I was watching the David vs Goliath world cup match of North Korea vs Brazil in a very Singaporean setting - a typical kopitiam with plenty of local lads all wound up with their world cup bets (passion for the sport/nationality can be best found in a more up-market locale

But I often wonder why they keep at this game when they jolly well know the proliferation of internet forums and alternative news sources have rendered many a modern Singaporean dubious of such

If you have been using the internet to search for a HDB flat in Singapore in recent months, you'll probably notice a phenomenon. Well, many of them are of flats which are already sold when advertised. The intent of such advertisements are not to sell flats, but to lure new flat owners to appoint him to sell their flats for them. This is a seller's market. We already know that from the fact that

Any wonder why Al Jazeera got axed from MIO TV? Just watch a few samplings of their feature documentaries on Singapore. If anything, this also explains why the red light district Geylang has been so frequently raided recently that the sex workers have gone either online or to new enclaves such as Kovan and Serangoon. Geylang isn't the only place to have been raided after Al Jazeera's videos were

I think Mah Bow Tan has not and will not ever "bow" to the aggrieved Singaporeans, which definitely outnumber the happy ones, for the poor control of real estate inflation in recent years. Nor will our Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Nor will his daddy MM Lee Kuan Yew. There's a trend here.

New word to describe Singapore's housing prices - Mesosphere

2010-03-30T12:31:00.000+08:00

http://www.zaobao.com/sp/sp.shtml Check out the above link....It's Singapore's Chinese newspaper featuring another amazing feat 'achieved' by our 'still affordable' hdb flat resale market. A prospective buyer has bid $900,000 for an Executive Maisonette flat in Bishan, paying a whopping $170,000 cash-over-valuation. The kick, however, is that the deal has not gone through as the owners are

They used to rent a whole HDB unit but now can only

More than 20 years later, Chiam See Tong

I feel very saddened that Dr Lim lost 20 years of his life to a system that most of my family and friends still believe is a good one. If one of your own loved ones or friends (or even yourself) ever become detained by PAP under this Internal Security Act, this "rule above law", due merely to some political views or statements he or she made, what will you do? What can you do? I think I'll sign

Our PRs are helluva rich bunch

2009-11-13T08:19:00.004+08:00

Some helluva rich PR just paid $653,000 for a 4-room HDB flat...just imagine what its doing to the valuations of other flats (and condos) which are marked-to-market... Well done Prime Minister Lee and Mah Bow Tan. I'll be forwarding this piece of news to all my Singaporean friends who are currently overseas so as to warn them against coming home. I hope everyone does their part and forward their

Just a thought

Life is exactly like trading; It's full of ups and downs. The only certainty is uncertainty. You'll never know where you'll end up eventually. You can do nothing and pray for the best. Or you can do all that you can, not knowing if it will truly make a difference in the end.

Taxi drivers - crystal balls for your future as a Singaporean?

2009-11-10T19:22:00.002+08:00

I get a lot of opportunities to interact with taxi drivers because my company sponsors my cab rides due to the odd hours. I'm sure most Singapore-netizens are aware of the taxi driver blog by Dr Cai Ming Jie...well I am not as entertained by my encounters with cabbies as he is with passengers, but I'd just like to share a bit of an epiphany I had derived from my daily brief meetings with them.

Obama's weekly address

2009-11-03T16:52:00.001+08:00

I especially liked the efforts directed towards creating a New Energy economy in America. I also liked how President Obama acknowledges that GDP growth does not equate to job growth, or rising income. He gets in touch with the Americans via such videos on his blog on a weekly basis! I believe there will truly be a great American economic recovery because they have him, and more importantly,

PAP takes fight online [See Link] I refer to the above linked news article. I don't think PAP nor PM Lee understands the core issues that are going to decide which camp the electorate is going to be in come the next election. It's not about taking the "fight" to a new platform, nor is it about taking on any sort of fight...heck it is not even a fight between PAP and the opposition. The

Say no to the death penalty

Always felt the death penalty should be limited to cold blooded murderers. I'm not all that involved but just thought I could spread the msg on.

Just thought we should revisit old issues from time to time as the next election draws near. I hope Singaporeans will not allow this farce to continue after the next election.
