First it was 2-piece Texas chicken and now upgraded to bird's nest. The desperate PAP Aljunied suicide squad is resorting to more expensive goodies to lure voters into giving them their vote as if it can be bought with food.

Ivan Lim has tried to explain himself in response to online criticisms and maintained that he will not back out from contesting. He did not apologise for his arrogant behaviour and instead gave his version of stories with regards to the incidents posted online.

The question was, how did Wong get away with four full years of accepting bribes and awarding contracts to his 'friends'? Did the AMKTC MPs, all of whom should have been privy to his financial dealings, not noticed something was amiss? After all, Wong is just the GM. Surely, the award of contracts should be under the purview of the TC's top echelons, in this case the AMK GRC MPs themselves. Were the leaders of this TC not discharging their fiduciary duties to the best of their abilities?

Rigbuilders Keppel Corporation and Sembcorp Marine on Monday (Feb 9) denied Brazilian media reports that linked them to the widening corruption scandal surrounding Brazilian national oil firm Petrobras. Brazil’s national oil firm has been embroiled in a bribery scandal since last year. Former Petrobras director Paulo Roberto Costa said the company allegedly paid millions of dollars in kickbacks to politicians and members of the ruling Workers Party between 2004 and 2012 to buy influence in what critics say was a collusion between Petrobras and politicians.

A fellow kaki sent us this image of an Indian FT supposedly on S-pass trying to bribe local companies who still have foreign worker quota to hire him so that he can remain in Singapore. Are our local companies accepting such bribes and offering "ghost" jobs to such foreign "talents"?

If you’re a Singaporean with your own vehicle, chances are that you’ve driven to Malaysia countless times. In additional to that, you’ve broken many traffic laws there.
