While the wave of democratization has spread throughout Southeast Asia toppling previously oppressive regimes like Indonesia and leading to the emergence of a two-party state in Malaysia, Singapore remains under the iron-fisted control of the fascist PAP regime whose party logo resembled that of the British Fascist Party. When... 

I am a Singaporean PMET in my mid 30s who left the country in 2007 to work in Hong Kong after my company decided that it was cheaper to employ an IT Manager from India than me. Year 2009 One of the local bank obtained a bankruptcy order against me for my credit card debt of $15,000 which I wasn’t able to pay back... 

Looks like the PAP Government’s policy on foreign talent has been officially reiterated by LKY – it’ll be business as usual as far as the PAP Government’s pro-foreigner immigration policy is concerned.  This can only surely mean increasingly tougher times ahead for local born and bred Singaporeans. Those... 

I read with astonishment your comment in The Straits Times “How Singapore Punches Above its Weight” dated 23 July 2011 on the tenet of Singapore being open to foreign talent.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew, can you please spell out the meaning of the term “talent.” It is an amorphous term which has shifting definitions to suit the whims and fancies of your party/government. Are Chinese prostitutes considered a talent because they can provide better service than local prostitutes? Hence, should we have... 

The debate about Singaporeans sponsoring foreigners to study in local universities was re-ignited again following the entry of former education minister Dr Tony Tan into the coming presidential contest with many Singaporeans lampooning him for his ‘foreigner first’ education policies which discriminate against... 

Mr John Low, 57, has been driving a CityCab taxi for the past 3 years. Having lost his project management job in the depths of the 2008 recession, he found that few companies were willing to take him in because many of his skills had become obsolete. To make ends meet, he became a taxi driver – and soon found that it...
