I worry about Singapore every day. I just hope it's the social media bias, that there simply cannot be that many dumb people in the city-state. Then again, 40% already voted for people like Pritam, LMW or Lim Tean... Now, wherever I go I do see many people
Singapore should not be lectured by anyone but should it lecture other countries? As I said a few days ago, I think YES and here's my reply to all those raising their concerns about it. Min. Shanmugam reiterated the country's stance that it is going to
It sure as hell seems to bent on doing it. In my first post on the topic of their "affordable homes scheme" I explained how these people don't even understand their own figures. In this one I'm going to highlight just how catastrophic the
Just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, folks from PSP outdo themselves again. The set of proposals for HDB they announced yesterday is so absurd and destructive that I don't know where to start debunking them. I could write several pieces dissecting their
I'm really sick and tired of listening to all the whining about Keppel's bribery in Brazil so, as ever, I'm here to tell you what the truth actually is. Ready? Keppel did nothing wrong. In fact, not only that, but those Keppel's

I'm often wondering what drives people who are rabidly populist. Is it some sort of thirst for power or merely unbelievable, self-assured ignorance? Regardless of the motivations PSPs "Telegrampa", Leong Mun Wai appears to be at it again, desperately trying to attack the most successful public
This is why I hate "journalists". Some years ago people at the Economist had a decent idea to create a tool for comparing living costs for EXPATS in different, major cities of the world, to allow companies estimate complete relocation and employment expenses. Of course, with time they
I have to say I find the disciplinary inquiry into Christopher de Souza's, PAP MP and Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, alleged professional misconduct a most welcome and valuable development. Here's why: 1. It should finally convince all of the conspiracy theorists that nobody in Singapore
Many people appear to be concerned that LGBT groups in Singapore are going to demand marriage equality, now that 377a is heading for a repeal. After all, anything can be painted as discrimination, no? Let's unpack this. 1. Yes, LGBT groups are going to keep demanding - perhaps
Some people have called me out on my last post by defending Pritam and WP for allowing free expression on the matter of 377A repeal, commending them for such a "bold" move. And what I've been trying to say all this while, that it's
Sometimes I really hate politics. But even when that happens it may still be very entertaining. It seems that 377A has posed some serious challenges for the Workers Party and how they handled it backfired in the most hilarious way. They appear to be trying to reconcile their earlier positions,
