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,
After my posts about the AHTC some angry folks kept coming here and waving their fists - "what about AIM case with PAP!?". And while it is rather annoying to have to keep explaining things that were already explained once I have to say it's also
So far, the only alternatives to the impending GST hike in Singapore are based on taking money from somewhere else. But what if there was one that didn't require any new taxes or draining the reserves? In fact, what I'm about to point to is one

Some people in Singapore have tried to argue, in the recent spat between MHA and Richard Branson over drug policy, that bringing up British mid-19th century Opium Wars in China is somehow not relevant to Singapore and out of place in the exchange. I beg to differ. It may seem
One thing the woke left has always excelled at is its ability to inflate its importance with meaningless words. All the "activists", "NGOs", "advocates", "campaigners" are really just euphemisms for "parasites". Because that's what they are, isn'
So, predictably, Richard Branson has chickened out from public debate on drug policy with K Shanmugam Sc but the way he did that reveal just what a nauseatingly disgusting person he is (much like all hippie do-gooders, though). In a statement posted on his blog on Monday and addressed to
So many people have been lamenting just oh how much HDB apartments cost these days, and how their parents were able to pay theirs off in like 4 years but their children now take a mortgage for 25 years... and so on, that I've decided to do what
