The ever present choice for all S’poreans as we navigate choppy waters ahead boils down to these 2: “ a false sense of peace and prosperity while surrendering all autonomy i.e. blind adherence to the PAP or rising up and building a healthy, alternative Parliament not dominated by only 2 parties

Dr Tan Cheng Bock's new party, the Progress Singapore Party, has its application approved-in-principle. Thanks to him, Singaporeans have a stronger alternative voice. How will the PAPpies react to this? Let us wait and see!

An angry customer who experienced intermittent Internet connection was unhappy that Starhub repeatedly told him to restart his router. If this method doesn't work, why ask him to do it so many times? They didn't even bother to offer alternative solutions.

I refer to the news report last month about MOM scrutinsing some 38 firms with a high proportion of foreigners employee. This is a wayang to shift the blame to the companies.

No I’m not going to teach you how to pro­nounce Roy’s sur­name. The title is just writ­ten in the style of Roy Ngerng’s attention-seeking blog post titles. Now that Roy has ‘been Davin­dered’ and taken down the alleged offend­ing blog post, applied to be an NMP, and raised ques­tions from dozens of my friends who are none the wiser about what hap­pens to our CPF money, I thought it might be timely to address some of the questions.

I sent this email to Peter Knudson (Media Relations) at the NTSB, and he will consider if its worthy of forwarding onto investigators. At the end of this email, I’ve listed sensible and low-cost recommendations to best aid recovery efforts.
