TR EMERITUS

For the last three years a Brit who claimed to be a CEO rented unit above my flat, and he’s been giving me HELL with his decadent style of living of days been nights and nights been days. Eve of holidays, weekends and eve of weekends coming back at 3 to 4 am in the mornings in his drunken stupor and banging on the... 

As a country we are doing very well, and extremely well in many areas. We have become rich and life has become very comfortable to many. There is no doubt that we are the envy of the world in being what we are today. And it is quite appropriate to call this the paradise on earth to many of the wealthy residents. While the... 

I do not know if any other Singaporeans feel this way, but growing up in the 1980s till today, I have come to notice lots of changes that are detrimental to us as Singaporeans. Take for example we as NS men committing 2 years of our time to full time national service and then reservist, a process which have even caused... 

Though one can hold power in one’s lifetime after being a prime minister, can one usurp the modern history of Singapore too? After reading “Don’t let S’pore pioneers be a lost generation” by Phua Mei Pin of ST, I started thinking of Dr Toh Chin Chye, Goh Keng Swee, S Rajaratnam, E W Barker...

Recently, CNN featured a record-breaking construction feat in Changsha, China where a new hotel of 30 storeys was built in 15 days: Our Building and Construction Authority (BCA) is visiting Changsha to glean some learning points for us. Different cities have different building challenges. As a result, they deliver different... 

What is the role of a modern government? A lot of people say this PAP-led government is growing the economy every year. Its pro-business stance has also attracted a lot of MNCs to open offices here, but how has this actually benefited the citizens who voted for this government? Has our standard of living improved across... 

I am very reluctant to post here but here’s my take. Just ignore my post if you think it’s irrelevant – it doesn’t bother me. I believe there is an urgent need for critical thinkers on this island. Perhaps a look into History, political and social sciences, and economics would push us to look into ourselves, thereby...
