TR EMERITUS

Siti Mushorafah had high expectations of working in Singapore. To support her family, the 42-year-old Indonesian came to the city-state to work as a maid. Back home, people had talked about the good things working in Singapore entailed, but once she arrived, she found herself the victim of physical abuse. When she made... 

Reporters asked him for his response to remarks on Muslims and Islam by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, made in his new book, Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths To Keep Singapore Going. PM Lee noted that his own perspective on the subject was ‘not quite the same’ as MM’s  I am glad that PM Lee has appeared and clarified his... 

All this talk by Lee Kuan Yew on Singapore Muslims not integrating has left me more than a little reflective, if not somewhat nostalgic. It was during last year’s Ramadhan that Kelly Teo, a classmate from our Pre-U Class of 1971, made his twice-yearly trip back home from Holland. A bunch of us would gather and celebrate...

With the influx of cheap labor and escalating cost of living, the PAP government should consider making education and medical free for all Singaporeans. Since they don’t know how to implement minimum wage, it is only fair that the foreigners subsidize the Singaporeans for creating jobs for them. National Service is also...

FROM Egypt to Jordan and Algeria to Yemen, Tunisia’s “Jasmine Revolution” has begun to undermine Arab regimes that have for decades maintained their control through fear, analysts say. “The question is who remains,” not which country is next, said Amr Hamzawy, the research director at the Carnegie... 

作者:李显涛 “绝对的权力导致绝对的腐败”这句话又多了一个注解。 “伟人”的胡言乱语总是有人出来圆谎和擦屁股。 对于回教徒的“hard truth”评语，要不是出自显赫的LKY口中，而是19岁工院生在网上留言的话，大概就要控之以“煽动罪”了。哪里还有主理回教事务的马来部长不顾颜面地替他擦屁股呢？ 一个人身后，什么事都由不得他，诠释权在生者手中，这点我想他也该知道，讲这么多屁话干嘛呢？学台湾人话哉：政治人物的话可以信，狗屎都可以吃啦。 当年自治邦选举，行动党获筹组第一届内阁，宣誓礼甚至不拍照留念，以示草根性有别于英殖民者，神马都是浮云。结果多年以后，还不是花大钱找来画家，重现当年的“庄严”情景。 新国的钞票开始不要效仿英殖民用统治者的人头像，尽是花鸟、民生，后来就悄悄用尤索夫总统开了先例。 建筑物、街道也不用统治阶层的名字，但是薛尔思桥也开了先例，结果李光耀、拉惹勒南、吴庆瑞都成了研究院或者教育部大厦的名字了。 他说李显龙要是没有他，可能会更成功。就当作是糟老头在发嗡风吧。 还是mrbrown的...
