Percolating ministers like a leaky nuclear power plant

I laugh, and continue to be tickled by the comments made in the Straits Times forum. It’s a poor diet of badly-written arguments, but the entertainment and sheer lunacy you read sometimes more than makes up for the invisible sledgehammer against the side of my head. The papers today are over-brimming with letters bemoaning our [...]

Final thoughts on General Elections 2011

Since the post-independence days, the PAP government has led Singapore through its growing years, seeing the country not just through our industrialisation, and also our subsequent climb through the economic value chain. In the 80s and 90s, the same PAP government identified the services and tourism as a potential growth area for the economy, and [...]

Red-herring to claim Chen Show Mao “bites the hand that feeds him”?

In this story from the Straits Times, Law and Home Affairs minister K Shanmugam makes the case of WP candidate Mr Chen’s citizenship narrative a “success story of PAP’s immigration policy”. From The Straits Times (29 April 2011) THE Workers’ Party’s ‘star catch’, corporate lawyer Chen Show Mao, 50, is a ‘success story’ of the [...]

PAP loves Fear-mongering

Singaporeans are kiasu, and kiasi. We’re just famous for that. Queuing up for NDP tickets 3 days before they ate given out doesn’t faze most of us, though it proved too chaotic and unfair so the organizing committee decided to use online balloting to allocate tickets a few years back. Even I’m not immune to [...]

GE2011, and my initial thoughts on the young candidates

To be honest, I hadn’t exactly expected the Opposition to contest all the wards: traditionally, most of the parties would struggle to even field candidates within a GRC, not to mention more than one. Indeed, such a radical change in the contest strategy by the Opposition is a refreshing change. That is, if mentioning that [...]

Aesop’s tale about citizenship

A commenter left this under The Temasek Review’s report on the school fee hike for PRs in order to hype up a sense of exclusivity of citizenship. I find this so apt. If you treat your own people badly, what makes you think that the new people you’ve attracted would think about coming under your [...]

Techcrunch says that my blog is being controlled by the Singapore government

From Techcrunch’s article about the fallen partnership between Fusion Garage, and themselves: We didn’t learn about this until last Summer because Singapore media, including blogs, are largely controlled by the government. Embarrassing stuff just isn’t reported. I’m a Singaporean, I blog. Therefore, my blog must largely be controlled by the government. Now, why the hell [...]

Adjusting back to work life

Going back to army produces this fundamental shift in your core being as to make you a less effective thinker. I mean, who else walks to the SAF e-mart, purchases some running shorts, queues up, pays for it, leaves the e-mart, goes to the canteen for teh-bing, and then goes back to the e-mart to [...]

Back to in-camp training… again!

It’s that time of the year, and I’m not referring to Christmas. That’s because it’s time to wear green and stop thinking again Ah… Wait, I’m in reservist, so why should I stop thinking? I can think about what food and games to bring in to play next week. Someone’s already bringing Saboteur, so what [...]
