I remember when I was studying in the US and Fox News would always say they are giving fair and balanced news in a “no spin zone.” Of course I did not believe for a moment that Fox provides neutral coverage. Every television station has a bias, its just funny how they all like to ...

There was a rather interesting protest at Hong Lim Park on Saturday about the whole soured investments. The basic question is that should someone be responsible for the loss of investment? The government? The banks? The investors themselves?I am inclined to say that the investors should bear responsibility for their actions. However there is some ...

It is rather sad indeed that Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam passed away on 30 September 2008.The amount of tribute to him is overwhelming. As always some online commentators used the event of a good man’s passing to criticize the ruling party, while others praised his efforts.I bumped into him several times. Outside Centrepoint and City Hall. ...

Chia Ti Lik in his post “Revelations from Bukit Merah West NPC” seems to indicate that “the Parliamentary statute of the Miscellaneous Offences Act has been arbitrarily expanded by the Singapore Police Force or the AG-C.”Mr Chia probably did not have the benefit of Legal Analysis, Writing and Research (LAWR) or Singapore Legal System (SLS) ...

This means my girlfriend’s new ultimate boss is GEORGE W. BUSH until January next year. Then it is either a really old white man, or a middle aged black man. Unless AIG sells AIA to pay back the debt.That makes AIG a government-linked company. Hee hee… 79.9%. I wonder if they got it for cheap. ...

It’s 9 minutes long, but it is good. Real good.This one is also good.It is about voting and our duty to vote. Even though he’s talking about America, I think the last part has resonance with any voter in the world.

Andrew Loh, Deputy Editor at The Online Citizen, seems to be implying that the PAP did break a law or that the police were lax in the application of the law. I think that Mr Loh should fact check before making such statements as “On what moral authority would the Government be able to require ...

How come our zoo doesn’t do something like this? The guy in the bear suit is really cool. And the zoo staff who gets mauled is just funny when he dies.
