Small increases reduces pain? Rubbish

Gee, I’m not sure why I didn’t catch on to this earlier – it could be the brain-washing liquid sloshing around in my mind, but Molly brought up an important point on small increases on hospital fees. That was when the eureka moment unburied itself from the heap of nonsense, and leapt into my mind [...]

Ideology can’t pay for your bills, but is good political currency

When you have no time to blog, you have to be thankful for other like-minded people in the world to say your mind. Update: Molly has decided to give out some awards. Head on over to participate in the ceremony. The legislation of morality is a hallmark of a country of inequality. Seen an extreme [...]

Anti-gay faction launches low-blow at Mr Siew Kum Hong

The saga continues… the anti-gay faction probably decided to find someone with more experience in writing letters to the Straits Times forum – for in the blockquote lies the next salvo: NMP overstepped role in championing gay cause I AM writing in response to the article, ‘NMP to submit Parliamentary Petition to repeal gay sex [...]

Intolerance in Singapore

I do not understand why they cannot listen to properly reasoned arguments, and instead choose to continue beating the straw man. In fact, here’s the latest volley of rubbish.

Well, these days I feel like I’m on the EKSPRES [...]

As a civil libertarian, any sort of debate on casinos is already moot: while I won’t place my money on the green tables, you won’t see me protesting their entrance. What I’d like to focus on is the persistent cries by some quarters on the social ills that would befall the country with the ultimate [...]

Singlish, and Singapore Culture

Well, I woke up at 10pm in the evening to find a delightful piece of argument on Bing De‘s blog. It hasn’t blown up in anybody’s face (and I seriously don’t think it ever will), but talking about whether Singlish is relevant in Singapore is definitely some real fodder for the sniping. I remember that [...]

Cameras, and the banning of camera cellphones

Some of my friends have told me that the Armed Forces have tightened the noose on imaging devices. While I am not surprised that they have been reticent on cameras, I was quite shocked when the blanket ban was announced. Back during my time, the top brass was quite worried about revealing the features in [...]
