Approximately 1,000 Singaporeans give up their citizenship every year - and this is only based on data that’s derived from Singaporeans who denounced their citizenship and left Singapore is the past 3 years. I am not sure of their decision to give up the citizenship, but I suspect that it’s got something to do with ...

So it’s officially out, althought I had been hearing news of it recently. I probably have a comment or two, but will probably do so tomorrow… a little tired now.

Some time back, I wrote about Malaysia adopting the through-train process in immigration; which apparently is a trial that just ended. Malaysia, after realising that many people are going in without getting their passports stamped, decided to get the cards back into the menu. For some countries, some of the important information may include address, ...

What?! You mean to say that the whole thing was staged? You mean to say that Mas is still in his cell - innocently being cursed and sworn at? You mean to say that the long hours of wait at the various checkpoints are for nothing? You mean to say that it’s just another of ...

Many would have thought that the first hint of good life in National Service (NS) came when the 2.5 years of compulsory service was reduced to 2 years. The truth is, good life started way before that; perhaps in the days that cookhouse food was outsourced to Singapore Food Industry (SFI), who happens to be ...

In what seems like a change of heart, Mr Khaw said that the Ministry of Health will be looking into the possibility of legalizing organ trading; with a catch. Any payment made to the donor must come from a third party. The rationale behind this idea is to distant the recipient as far away as ...

For a title like that, won’t I be sorry to our readers if there aren’t any photos to show? At least 3 SOC vehicles were spotted at the bus stop in front of SCGS with another 3 more making a turn from Bukit Timah Road into Dunearn Road at the cross junction of Stevens Road/Bukit ...

There was this case, then came news of molesters and serial molesters being arrested, and now there’s another. Just barely a week after it was reported that a serial molester got nabbed, another case surfaced again. The molester admitted laying on top of his maid and kissing her all over her body. Before he could ...

About 2 weeks ago, taxi companies came together to lobby for a 30 cents fuel surcharge in light of raising diesel prices. Ironically, on the first day that the surcharge was implemented, diesel price dropped, but still remained about $2 per litre. Since then prices dropped 2 more times which returned the price of diesel ...

After the party, some of us adjourned to Wala-wala, which was just behind Essential Brews. My intention was to have a glass of Erdinger, but you know? Man proposes, God disposes.It was by any means a good gathering - nice people, nice atmosphere and everything else good. Of course, one of the first thing that ...

In what seems to be the closing of a month-long investigation into the escape of Mas Selamat from the Whitley Detention Center, the Committee of Inquiry has released a report detailing the escape of Mas.

It all started with a couple buying off some cheap stuffs and reselling them on Yahoo (and other auction sites). Pretty simple economics, don’t you think so? Buy lots of goods at a good price and then reselling them at a higher price that people will pay for. Well, this proved to be quite a ...

Before I continue, the title was meant to be Nicholas Lazarus and his homophobic views. Ironically, my lab’s servers are homophobic as well and I’d never be able to ever view this entry again if I put the you-know-what word in the title. Anyway, back to the topic of Nicholas and his homophobic views. ...
