That was what was screaming from a forumer on a Saturday paper. Quoted from the comments by Singaporean60 in the straitstimes.com forum:The most pragmatic way would be like what we did during the SARS crisis. Isolate, identify, quarantine, eliminate! Homos were the first and a continued source of HIV/AIDS/GRID. They should be treated like SARS ...

Nowadays, degree holders are a dime a dozen - just throw a stone and it’d hit a degree holder; throw a rock and you probably can kill a dozen. Given the manpower crunch in Singapore, and the good times (that’s going to end soon), there is no doubt that fresh graduates are getting way better ...

The Government had announced in January 2008 that platform doors will first be installed at Jurong East, Yishun and Pasir Ris MRT stations next year and on the rest of the stations in 2012. This is due to the increase in the number of jumps since 2004, which saw 16 cases for 2 consecutive years ...

As soon as I thought my last post on Mas Selamat is going to be my last, someone found this and forwarded it to me. I was like… "what the… ?!?!" I just couldn’t believe it. Mas Selamat actually has a Facebook account! But for obvious reasons, I wasn’t able to see who his friends ...

Haha… apparently Straits Times got our mod posters here and here. Thanks to Alice in Wonderland for alerting me to it. As of today, Mas Selamat is still on the run but apparently, not everyone knows about it. It was reported on TV that some subscribers who got the SMS/MMS from their respective telcos were ...

Ridz, Tian Hong and myself were talking about boyfriends and girlfriends and Valentine’s Day and all when we suddenly draw the conclusion that there will come a day when everyone will eventually not get attached and the human race might just come to standstill. Sounds exaggerated? Well, not really if there is such a thing ...

I received a notice of service suspension from PacNet recently citing that I failed to make payment for services rendered. This is totally ridiculous because I made advanced payment in June 2007 to beat the 7% GST that would be chargeable for payments made after that date, and for that matter, I made a year’s ...

What sort of special treatment? NS. National Service. Foreign male who are Singapore Permanent Residents (PR) studying in government schools are expected to serve national service should they decide to stay on in Singapore after completing their secondary/tertiary education at the age of 18-21 years (please correct me if I am wrong). I am not ...

Are you working too hard? I was reading the article in straitstimes.com and was silently giggling at Mr Lim Boon Heng’s rhetoric question. Is it necessary to work such long, late hours? If you are in the IT industry, there’s so much work to be done, so many deadlines, and when you can’t solve something, ...

It feels like life is so unfair. I mean… local graduates from business schools are being pursue with job offers a year before they graduate! While non-business school graduate have to search for a job and get it only a month after graduating.TALENT is so sought after for the financial sector that local and foreign ...

For everyone who’s been reading my blog, they’d know that I almost never delete any comments unless they are spam and even when people advertise their blogs in the comments form, I usually keep one eye close unless it’s very outright. However some proclaimed "anti-terrorist" took a step too far that I just couldn’t stand ...

I didn’t know what start the frenzy, however, checks at major supermarkets have reveal that all their rice are gone! Singapoerans (and PRs alike) have started on a buying spree on all rice available in the market. This was especially so with all the recent attention given to the rice - be it news that ...

Just like the prophecies foretold from a magical book of sorts, the signs are showing. First, the feedburner count plunged like the stock market from a high of 120+/130+ to just 71. Then the support group that Simply Jean has been so often immersed in has suddenly… "disbanded". Plaktoz - back to camp. Ridz - ...

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 ...

Fruits can make good medicine at times, but it can also make good poison - sometimes unintentionally. A few people have been reportedly dying from eating star fruits - they mystery of which was solved soon. You see, star fruits contain a kind of neurotoxin that is harmful to the body. For most people, this ...

There was an apparent security lapse in the recent militant escape - that he escaped on his way to meet his family when he asked to go to the toilet. This came as quite a surprised because if the same protocol is used here as in Changi Prison, one can imagine how many inmates would ...

If the article in the Straits Times is anything to go by, I am a complain queen. Apparently, Singaporeans like to complain, but just amongst themselves and not to the organization involved. This was shown to be true by a survey done earlier. Simply Jean, however, does carry out her words when the service level ...

Mrs Lee had been admitted into hospital since last Monday due to a bleeding in her right brain. She has since been transferred to a general ward but is still in serious condition. I guess this is the time to put aside all political agenda and crosses and really wish her a speed recovery. MRS ...
