TR EMERITUS

Dr Patrick Tan An irate PSC scholar Mohammed Nizam has emailed Dr Patrick Tan Boon Ooi, the son of PAP-endorsed presidential candidate Dr Tony Tan enquiring him about his ‘relaxed’ NS stint as a ‘defence medical scientist’. Since TRE exposed Dr Patrick Tan serving his NS as a scientist at the Defence... 

Yes, they did it again. Dr Tony Tan, who has applied to become Singapore’s next president and is widely seen as the PAP’s candidate, told students last week that he favoured a Singaporeans First policy when it came to students getting places in our tertiary institutions. Dr Tan is the latest in line to adopt... 

And learn something from Jing Shang. When Singapore Management University (SMU) board of trustees chairman Ho Kwon Ping comments on the failure of business schools to convey the right ethical values to students, I wonder whether this can also apply to the PAP or not.

This is not the first time that the former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has used his bombastic scare tactic to deter Singaporeans from moving towards a two-party system which he warned as being fraught with dangers. He is a past master in sophistry which he uses consummately in this instance to try to demonstrate that Singapore... 

I read with sadness that the rising rampant xenophobia among Singaporeans has caused our country to lose a precious foreign talent in hospitality management. Mr Wang Peng Fei was in his final year of his studies in hospitality management at East Asia Institute of Management when he was expelled unfairly from his school... 

In a sign that public transport fares will be raised after all despite the ‘wayang’ put up by the Public Transport Council (PTC) to ‘review’ the applications by SBS and SMRT for the increase, another senior PAP leader Lim Boon Heng has stepped in to ‘convince’ Singaporeans that the fare... 

Letchmi (not her real name), a 40-year-old Singaporean woman, stood in the dock and pleaded guilty to pilfering $743 from the cash register where she worked as a cashier at a local supermarket.
