Effective 1st Jan 2012, Singapore-registered vehicles running on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and petrol-CNG will be subjected to the 3/4 tank rule when leaving Singapore. The Singapore Customs said on Tuesday that it has sent letters to owners of CNG vehicles to inform them of the changes and a composition fine may be... 

I just came back from holidays and was astonished at the kind of damage the PAP (or government-linked, however you wish to call it) has digged for themselves this christmas. Firstly, I would like to suggest to PAP/ pro-PAP members to stop more defensive moves that seems to create a larger hole. PUB’s classification of... 

Dear Straits Times, I refer to the 21 Dec 2011 letter by Ms Anju Tiwari. Having lived in many countries, Ms Tiwari wonders if Singaporeans know that they live in an awesome country.

What they wanted was “to help the people” and were trying to find out what we did and how they... 

Dear Mr Lee Kuan Yew, I refer to the 2 Dec 2011 Straits Times print of excerpts from your new book. You wrote that Tan Lark Sye and his supporters believed communist China was a great nation and could back them. Exactly what backing did Tan Lark Sye need from communist China? Money? No, he had millions of that himself.... 

Mr Cherian George last post - Seng Han Thong, alternative media and choosing sides – has set our thoughts wondering of some of his comments on this subject. Is it not stratospheric of exaggerated claims for him to allege that the alternative media somehow, unexplained of substantiation, exceeded its freedom from the...
