Singapore marathoner Soh Rui Yong uploaded an open letter to MINDEF onto his Instagram account. This open letter comes after Joseph Schooling failed to make it to the finals in both 100m freestyle and his pet event, 100m butterfly. He wrote, “This is the chance for you to score a HUGE PR …

For the position of an Associate which is far below a director, it requires at least 1-2 years working experience, preferably in a top-tier private equity, investment bank, corporate finance, M&A or research firm. So can you tell me how did someone from the SAF is able to join this cooperation as a director when you doesn't have the experience of even an Associate?

A police report has been made against a ex-SAF colonel by the name of Surya Kumar, who threatened Bryant Wong - the good man who exposed the poor character of former PAP candidate for Jurong GRC Ivan Lim.

It is quite plain to see that many people do no have anything good to say about this Ivan Lim. This makes it curious what so called "qualities" the PAP sees in him? Maybe they see his elitist and arrogance as qualities since so many of them are also like that?

From polytechnic classmate, national service camp-mates to coworkers at Keppel, no one seems to like the PAP new candidate Ivan Lim Shaw Chuan. At least we now know that Ivan's snobbish, condescending and elitist attitude did not changed over the years which fits perfectly into the PAP.

So far, the 154 media has publicly announced a few potential PAP candidates for the upcoming general elections and they have been all from public sector. More names should be announced soon as the elections looms near, but it will not be a surprise if the rest will also be from the public sector.

Just how many paper generals does the PAP need? Since Pinky's own entry into politics as a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) scholar, the pattern of ownself select ownself has gone on and on and the number of paper generals in the party has been increasing. The latest addition to the "mix" is expected to be the country's first woman general (but not first woman paper general) Gan Siow Huang.

An infectious video of a nurse leading a group of patients, mostly migrant workers, in a mass dance at Expo has been flagged as an unauthorised filming of patient activity. What an anti-climax! It is not clear if it was a staff or patient who took the video but there was no doubt it raised the spirits of many, including other foreign workers, and whoever took it probably wanted to spread the cheer. Many have shared it on social media, including Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin.

An anonymous netizen sent some Instagram stories which contained insensitive remarks made about COVID-19. Their plan was to get themselves quarantined, and allegedly avoid going back to camp throughout their isolation period. One of them about made insensitive remarks about contracting the virus from foreign workers housed in SAF make-shift dormitories.

Yet, it does seem puzzling that there had been no updates thus far of our SAF troops who had been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Are there still there? How many of them had actually been sent over to help the US in efforts to counter terrorism in those countries?
