Remember Jamus Lim proposing wealth taxes of up to 2% for Singapore? Well, this is what has just happened in Norway, after the government bumped the local wealth tax rate by 0.1%. Norway is one of the few countries which is taxing wealth, at a combined rate of 1%
Something remarkable has happened, proving that maybe change in Singaporean politics is possible after all! Workers' Party Leon Perera condemned "flashy soundbites that smear our opponents, that the media then viralise" - adding that he doesn't want his kids to grow up in a "
How easy is it to get Singaporean citizenship? Well, contrary to the popular belief, SG is no USA nor Europe. And I think it is important to understand just how heinous the spin about verifying English proficiency for all new citizens is. I assume, of course, that Pritam Singh understands

I'm a little confused about Workers' Party in Singapore. Either they believe people are so dumb that they will buy anything they say or they themselves have no clue what they are talking about. So, WP "fired back" at the claims it advocated cutting HDB
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
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
