Here’s the letter published in the Straits Times today:MONDAY’S report, (’Girl’s death: Officer blogs about his guilt’), is disconcerting to the good image of the Singapore Police Force and perplexing to police retirees like myself.When I was an active officer, we were constantly reminded that personal emotions and opinions should never cloud or …
There are 30 minutes to register GEMs for this semester, and I spent the entire 30 minutes trying to log in. Here’s what I got 99% of the time within the registration system:This is not the first time that SP’s computer systems have failed during critical times. At the start of last semester, the wireless ...
Here’s two pictures that cracked me and Infestor51 up:The focus of the signs is supposed to be utilitarian, but I’m guessing that the sign intended the ladies to run to the toilet. And what about your gentlemen waiting for the ladies? Well, you could stand by the sign and smile like an eerie creep ...
Also known as “camera-whoring” in the forest. I was in National Service for 2 whole years, and I definitely have not forgotten about the mosquito bites and smelly clothes (though you usually stop thinking that you smell after a few hours; I could stink passer-bys to death and not know why), but yesterday I found ...

The papers today are over-brimming with letters bemoaning our ...This post originates from Pkchukiss - …

In this story from the Straits Times, Law and Home Affairs minister K Shanmugam makes the case of WP candidate Mr Chen’s citizenship narrative a “success story of PAP’s immigration policy”. From The Straits Times (29 April 2011) THE Workers’ Party’s ‘star catch’, corporate lawyer Chen Show Mao, 50, is a ‘success …
Singaporeans are kiasu, and kiasi. We’re just famous for that. Queuing up for NDP tickets 3 days before they ate given out doesn’t faze most of us, though it proved too chaotic and unfair so the organizing committee decided to use online balloting to allocate tickets a few years back. Even I’m not immune to ...This post originates from Pkchukiss - Reality …
To be honest, I hadn’t exactly expected the Opposition to contest all the wards: traditionally, most of the parties would struggle to even field candidates within a GRC, not to mention more than one.
