A Singapore Entrepreneur short tale

A Singapore Entrepreneur short tale

I am writing in response to Gilbert Goh’s article; “Lack of creativity to be blamed for our poor entrepreneurial spirit?” Allow me to relate my tale: My business started when I was still working as an employee for a local well known dept. store. That was when I was 32. I was working for that company since 2000.       ...

Election fever, cloud of confusion and uncertainty

Election fever, cloud of confusion and uncertainty

I refer to the report on “Prices of food items should stabilize: PM Lee”, the link is right at the bottom for reference, in question is the response of our Prime minster to which he answers the following below Lunar New Year goodies like mandarin oranges are costing more this festive season. They reflect the general... 

The very failures of PAP, the incumbent

The very failures of PAP, the incumbent

Their education policies made we Singaporeans chasing paper qualification, neglecting many of those who are talented in areas,where sports is concerned, were destroyed. Their withdrawal from the very Malaysia Cup, due to gate collection issues, is a mockery to all footballers and fans. The Kallag Stadium, became a white...

Don’t use public resources to win votes

Don’t use public resources to win votes

Residents of Potong Pasir should be saluted for their long suffering, paying the price of voting in the opposition for over 20 years. Perhaps the time has come for other wards to step forward to take its place, and give residents of Potong Pasir a break to enjoy the enviable privileges that PAP wards enjoy. No doubt when... 

‘A model city’

‘A model city’

TianJin China Here, where China and Singapore are trying to build the perfect city, dozens of orange and yellow cranes spin while five wind turbines stand still. An old man in worn black slippers carts a white sink in a rudimentary wheelbarrow; another fellow drives a decrepit little red tractor with a small payload of... 

What Alternative Parties Need to Do to Increase Membership?

What Alternative Parties Need to Do to Increase Membership?

I wont be surprised if the combined membership of all the alternative parties is less than 1,000. This is definitely not a reflection of the lack of interest in alternative politics in Singapore. The “Vote PAP Out” Facebook group has around 7,000 members. TOC and TR websites are visited by around 30,000 to 50,000...

Mah Bow Tan does not know how the layman works and plan (poem)

Mah Bow Tan Mah Bow Tan nowadays talks like a mad man, Afford a HDB flat he said anytime we can, But the prices are so high we fled and ran, We’ d rather go and sleep inside an old van, Even though it will be stuffy and warm without a fan, Mah Bow Tan belongs to the rich and wealthy clan, He’ll never know how the layman... 

PAP will say goodbye to you when you are old (poem)

PAP will say goodbye to you when you are old (poem)

PAP says farewell to its citizens who are old,  Because they are no more strong and bold,  But now foreigners to them are dear like gold,  Whereas our very own seniors are left in the cold,  ”You Die Your business” our poor aged are told,  For survival card boards they collect and fold,  So that to their...
