So, Pritam Singh chose to grandstand again, this time preaching about the dangers of division of the country into two Singapores. To fight it he urges more wealth redistribution! And then he chose to circulate what I'm sure his party colleague would call "folksy wisdom", that
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
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

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
So, the amendment of the GST bill is proceeding through the parliament, meaning the hike is just around the corner. And, I know, we've been through this topic many times already. We've heard it all from politicians (both PAP and opposition) arguing for and against the
Two years have now passed since Jamus Lim suggested borrowing money to fund additional spending by the government during a parliamentary debate on i.a. minimum wage in September of 2020. Subsequent events of these two years show us who was right on policy - and the differences between economic
