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
My blood really boiled yesterday. I have to say that I used to think that Workers' Party was a group of maybe not very competent but at least fairly decent people, infected perhaps by a few too many left-wing ideas (hey, nobody is perfect, right?). But I am increasingly
I think it's worth reminding all of those complaining about the bump in GST that, actually, both PAP and WP agree that more money is needed. It's not like the government is somehow raiding the pockets of millions of Singaporeans, while the opposition is up in

September has only just begun and so much misinformation to deal with already. HDB prices, consequences of smoking a joint abroad and now the evergreen topic of "minimum wage".Starting Sep. 1st companies employing foreigners in Singapore will have to pay their local employees a minimum qualifying salary
Is this the beginning of the end or just the end of the beginning?
That is unless you've read my posts about it Now, as we can begin to talk about the law using past tense, I thought it would be good to appreciate just how ridiculous the whole saga has always been. Pretty much nothing you might have heard or read
