In the heated conversations under my previous two posts about the influence of the British Empire on Singapore one thing stood out to me: it seems that everybody agrees at least on one thing - that the city-state is really the only successful former colony in the world. No country
Predictably my last post ruffled a few feathers leading some to protest how dare I say such things! Sadly, ignorance comes in many different flavours, so now I'd like to address some of them separately. One may believe presenting historical facts should be enough but ethnonationalist biases, ego
Some people are clearly unaware of whom they owe their prosperous existence to - and the death of Queen Elizabeth II has proved to be an opportunity for dimwits from WUS (and the entire left wing community) to peddle more BS on social media about the queen herself and the

I lifted the headline at the bottom from Coconuts which posted a sad report about the impending demise of this "great man". Meanwhile, Kirsten Han penned a long story of how Nazeri was really a victim himself and he deserved state care not hanging. The reality is far
Have you ever wondered why left-wingers so openly despise successful people? Billionaires, wealthy business-owners, young entrepreneurs, competent politicians, charismatic leaders - basically anybody who believes that if you work hard and smart you can achieve anything in life? Because they themselves can't. And instead of assuming responsibility for
After a year of uncertainty, PAP is back to the original plan and selected Heng Swee Keat's successor as his replacement for future premiership, once Lee Hsien Loong steps down - likely in or just before the next GE in 2025.I think the delay was due entirely
