At first, it was the IT industry, then came the life science industry, but in the end, there was so much supply that people had problems finding jobs after graduating.

Yes. After a really long wait, and much anticipation (of a ‘legal’ iphone) and anti-anticipation (of perhaps being a non 3G iphone), we finally have the good news that 3G iPhone will be available from SingTel later this year!

I did not have access today’s paper in print, but a glance at the online version seemed to send a very (in fact, very, very, very… you get what I mean) strong message to all commuters - take public transport else you’d be paying a heavy premium to move around. The main factor in this ...

Well, speculation that budget airlines will eventually rule over mainstream airlines is probably coming to an end soon, if the sentiments of passengers who were hit by the revised luggage rule were anything to go by.

Of course, the Singapore government apparently has no control over fuel prices (well, some argue that the government does, if they intervene - but that’s of course, may result in anti-competitiveness) and this is not about our fuel prices vs. theirs because there’s definitely no fight. However, the Malaysia government rose the prices of fuel ...

Yes, there is another change again. The postponed petrol ban on Singaporean within 50km from its borders is called off. This is party due to the repercussions on the businesses in Johor, and the strong oppostion voices from Johor businesses.

Oh, is Singapore growing smaller? No… it is… the size of studio apartment is growing smaller. The new Kent Residences in Kent Road is building studio that squeeze a kitchen, a bathroom, a bed room and a bay window into 312 sqft. So, how large or rather how small is 312 sqft? Imagine a squash ...

Yes, our very own Alice (member of ping.sg) got onto the papers on her campaign against VueStar. I knew about the entire campaign from the beginning and I admire her courage to pull through with all of Bernard’s unwanted comments (sorry, Bernard, but if your comments is anything to go by, I think you are ...

Malaysia has put off plans to ban sale of petrol to foreign-register vehicles within 50km of their north and south borders. This is partly because of the repercussions on the businesses around these petrol kiosks that thrives on the businesses of foreigners, particularly at the Singapore borders. In addition, Datuk Seri Najib cited that there ...

With all the bad news going around on the opposition, there’s finally some good stuffs from the opposition. I’m really glad for them because this shows that the opposite can also live up to the promise. In fact, Chiam is probably one of the more well-respected opposition because his views and reason are real and ...
