TR EMERITUS

It has been nearly a month since a petition was emailed to the PAP MPs on 27 March 2010 and as a letter to the Prime Minister’s Office, Istana and Lee Kuan Yew’s Residence calling for for Lee to apologize for making disparaging remarks about Singaporeans during an interview with National Geographic magazine, but... 

In less than a month since sprucing up our Facebook page which has been taken over and run independently by a reader, the number of fans has exceeded that of the Young PAP’s. As of yesterday evening, the Temasek Review Facebook page has 3,185 fans: Compared to Young PAP’s 3,179 fans: We also have nearly twice... 

Dear Mr Teo,   I refer to the 6 Apr 2010 Straits Times report of your speech at the Kent Ridge Ministerial Forum.   You said that Singapore politics, as observed by Bryan Caplan, is in a nutshell, about implementing programmes based on merits, not on polls.  Until recently, HDB upgrading has always been tied to voting... 

 I am getting sick and tired of some forumers here with their whining day after day. So what if 4500 quitters choose to leave for NZ? I suggest the whinners here leave as well! Singapore does not need people like you. We can easily replace you with more foreign talents from China and India who are grateful to be here,... 

The “integration” obsession which has grown to engulf the entire nation will soon be spreading to Singapore schools as well. Due to the PAP’s liberal immigration and pro-foreigner policies, foreigners now make up 36 percent of Singapore’s population, up from 14 percent in 1990. As too many immigrants...

By Sue-Ann Chia from Straits Times LABOUR chief Lim Swee Say’s call for the partial restoration of the employers’ Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution rate seemed to come out of the blue. Not that workers are complaining. They believe it makes sense to raise the employers’ CPF contribution rate now... 

The victim stabbed was my 21-year old cousin, a Singaporean student. She is now fearful of going home at night, as are her family. I live in Tampines as well. The police did nothing to warn us, no posters, no newspaper reports, no CCTVs put up, no patrols around, despite appeals to the town council, MPs, and the police... 

作者:冀居·谢 喜欢种花的朋友都知道，你从超市或者花圃买回一些盆花、盆草，如果能够种到枝叶遭虫害，已经是属于相当的园艺水平，因为至少你已经知道花草的基本需要。而很多时候，你买回时的盆花精神奕奕，可是很快你就发现它好像停止生长，接着枝叶之间的空隙大了，浇的水都从盆底汩汩而出，不消多久整株就这样枯死了。如果你对它的死因进行深究，大多会发现泥土底下的根早就没了；所以根是最重要的，而根又往往在表面上看不到。 我常告诉朋友，花农为了满足你不切实际的消费欲望，用障眼法呈现一段美好时光，就能骗到你手中的钞票，年花就是最好的例子。那些把植物栽进泥土的花农算是有良心的了，而较通常是把植物栽在一些暧昧的纤维混合物里面，里面夹着催生、催开花的粒状化肥，还有就是方便摆卖期间的浇水、排水作用。这样的植物离开培植圃...
