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... 

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... 

I would like to highlight to your attention regarding the employment of foreigners with professional qualifications. Before the case of the General Manager of SICC was brought to light, I remember that there was a similar case sometime in Feb 2011 of a Malaysian by the name of Khoo Boo Beng from Penang, Malaysia who... 

Greetings Sir/Mdm or To whom it may concern, My name is Jonathan Wee. I live in the Ang Mo Kio district and I would like to raise an issue with the LTA.

I’m only 25 this year and just finished National Service, but i am not afraid. I am getting out of this country and let the PAP make love to its foreign talents . What is wrong nowadays, huh?  Don’t you think there’s a lot of, uh… a lot of anger flowing around this island? Kind of like a pubescent volatility.... 

Dear Bloomberg editors, I refer to your 25 Jan 2012 editorial on why Singapore has the cleanest government money can buy which was reproduced by the Straits Times on 27 Jan 2012. Our public service has no lack of the best and brightest; many of them take up scholarships at the age of 18 and by the time they are accelerated... 

The cause of the slowdown of the Japanese economy was not primarily due a falling population, but due to incompetence in the government. Also, the Japanese are not afraid to change their government till they get it right but often than not powers are passed over within an elite base. The lost decade was due to the bubble... 

Dear Professor Rappa, I refer to your 13 Jan 2012 Straits Times article. If you deem people’s sense of envy as having run wild when they compare their salaries with those of the ministers, wouldn’t you also deem ministers’ sense of envy as having run wild too when they compare their salaries with those of the top... 

I refer to the reply in Parliament about long-term visit passes (LTVPs). About 9,400 foreign spouses of Singaporeans were on these passes each year between 2008 and 2010. A reply to a similar question in Parliament on May 18 last year revealed that the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority processed an average of 15,400... 

Immigration has been a hot issue recently. While I believe that different perspectives can be debated, I am alarmed by the number of online posts that seek to incite hatred against foreigners. Currently, there is strong law enforcement against racist speech. Last year, a student was expelled from school for making racist...
