MediaCorp. The Public Broadcaster for our nation. For decades in some shape or form, it has brought entertainment directly to our ears and our eyeballs. But it is a far cry from its heyday. In my anger, I did some research to try and explain how this abysmal lack of creativity came to be. But then I realized that I have a limited fascination to this archaic situation that could be easily solved...

With the 158 media was busy praising Tan See Leng's credentials, the public took interest in his rich working experience. Pictures allegedly showing his directorship in 69 companies started surfacing, leading many netizens to question if Tan See Leng is still able to look after the needs of residents in Marine Parade GRC. As brewing speculations of his inability to serve Marine Parade became a concern, Tan See Leng was forced to clarify his directorships on Facebook. He shared that his position in 69 companies was a "wrong impression".

There have been speculations going around on WhatsApp and Telegram apps that these 23 MPs will be stepping down from politics and will not be contesting in GE2020

Even as Singapore's political parties are preparing for GE2020, three People's Action Party (PAP) members announced their resignation with less than a week to Nomination Day (30 June). The three ex-heavyweights millionaires are Yaacob Ibrahim, Goh Chok Tong and Khaw Boon Wan, who were all once Cabinet Ministers. As these men bid farewell to politics, let us remember them for some of their more memorable quotes.

Workers Party, led by their MP and all -round popular opposition leader Low Thia Khiang and former NCMP Yee Jenn Jong spent their past Sunday morning visiting the Marine Parade and Geylang Serai areas to do their residents outreach program.

Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong. He has publicly said, somewhat pleadingly, that Singapore needs a political party that governs Singapore to have a "clear majority" in Parliament. And he also said that this strong party needs the mandate for more than 20 years from now.

A netizen has taken a dig at Goh Chok Tong for his sarcastic congratulatory message to the Workers' Party, who have moved their party headquarters to his ward of Marine Parade.

The former prime minister and current member of parliament for Marine Parade, Goh Chok Tong, has posted a "Welcome" to the Workers' Party, which has just relocated their new headquarters in Marine Parade.

Singapore Democratic Party's Chee Soon Juan penned an opinion piece on what he thinks is a "delusional world" of the Elected Presidency. He outlined Mr Ong Teng Cheong's efforts to check on the government (but to no avail), and how candidates after him have to be "approved by the government".

What PM Goh wrote in his condolence letter to Ong Teng Cheong's family in 2002: "As the first elected President, Teng Cheong had to work the new two-key system..." Do note that PM Goh was writing as head of government, representing the govt's views. So how can you say that to a grieving family only to years later argue in court that it is not true?
