3 Prime Ministers cannot. For the last how many years in politics had Tharman can stop the last election from dropping to 61.24%? All of a sudden there is a god and the country will turn around and a life saver. Sia suay.

Last week while on Spectrum cruise in Singapore, it appears that half the passengers were from China.

Last week whilst on a 5-night cruise on the Royal Caribbean ship, we had conversations with real people from different countries and what came out of their mouths. It was interesting to hear differing, honest and without biases/skewed towards favoritisms. Views were evenly spread.

100% agreed that while travelling the world, they have not come across a country[Singapore] that is exceptionally clean other than Japan. 7/8 agreed that they feel safe walking the streets despite not seeing cops patrolling. They cannot say about sleazy areas as they have not patronized them whilst spending a few days before and after the cruise. Some highly educated ones even know that the government is clean but not the politics.
I told them that no topic is out of bounds as I am not from the government and would not be offended that someone had insulted my country. All individuals agreed that it is an expensive rat race country and bad drivers considering there were only in a few taxi trips. How do they derive that the population lives in small and expensive homes? Asking them if they had a choice between living here and their own country all[not indicative opinion of the world] replied they would not live here citing the slower pace of life and spacious homes in their land and not forgetting costs.
In every country, there will always be people who leave and arrive. I know of friends and colleagues some of whom had applied for PRs here twice and my countrymen who had tried Melbourne and New Zealand unsuccessfully!; September 10, 2023 6:24 AM

Chinese has this joke about Xi Jinping and Emanuel Macron. When the French President visited China, Xi Jinping asked him, "What is the average monthly salary in your country?"
Macron replied, "6,000 euros." Xi asked again, "And the rent?" Macron replied "1,000 euros." Xi asked, "And what do people do with the remaining 5,000 euros?" Macron said, "That's none of our business."

Macron asked Xi, "What is the average monthly salary in your country?" Xi replied, "¥5000RMP" Macron asked Xi again, "And the mortgage?" Xi replied "¥10,000RMP." Macron asked, "What do the people do with the difference of
¥5000RMP?" Xi Jinping replied, "Thats none of my business."; September 10, 2023 2:00 PM

On Singapore being kicked out of Malaysia, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said in September 1965:

Some people think that just because we are a small place, they can put the screws on us. It is not so easy. We are a small place in size, and geography. But in the quality of the men, the administration, the organisation, the mettle in a people, the fibre - therefore, don't try. That is why we got booted out.

If they could have just squeezed us like an orange and squeezed the juice out, I think the juice would have been squeezed out of us, and all the goodness would have been sucked away. But it was a bit harder, wasn't it? It was more like the durian.

You try and squeeze it, your hand gets hurt. And so they say, "Right, throw out the durian."

But inside the durian is a very useful ingredient, high protein. And
we will progress.; September 17, 2023 7:12 AM

to live here. A professional working for a high-tech industry was transferred here.

Apparently, they found it super cheap with public transport (clean efficient MRT and buses) but not for private car hires. Cheap live-in help cannot be found anywhere else in the world other than Hong Kong and Canada.

Sold their multi-family home in Seattle and bought a 4-bedroom, 4-bath in Bukit Timah (US dollar exchange rate beneficial to $SGD).

The salary was paid in US currency and the family is vegetarian, therefore the cost of living was not a problem.

How many Singaporeans can afford such a lifestyle?; September 21, 2023 11:16 AM

All those who used the children's name to avoid ABSD must be shitting in their pants.
All those rich ministers already owned multiple properties, so ABSD is filling coffers.

Xi Jinping, the president of China, went to Guangxi and spoke with the governor about the fine and loyal people of China.

The governor: "Fine people sure. Loyal? I don't know."

Xi: "I will show you. Hey you! Come here! What do you do?" Farmer: "I'm a farmer."

Xi: Let me ask you, if you had two houses, would you give one to the government? Without hesitation the farmer says yes.

Xi turns to the governor with a smile. But he does not look convinced.

Xi asks the farmer: "if you had two cars, would you give one to the government?"

Immediate yes from the farmer.

The governor then asks if he may asks a question. Xi agrees.

Governor: "if you had two cows, would you give one to the government."

Farmer: "No. Never. Please don't ask me that." Xi is confused: "But you'd give a house and car, why not a cow?"

Farmer: "I actually have two cows."; September 25, 2023 10:07 AM
Anonymous said...: Former government: Refrain from putting up additional taxes to preempt rising costs. They don't have to look for ways to spoon-feed every individual. Good and cheap opportunities are there to use.

Present government: Leverage on giving handouts and raising taxes, revenues and levies to find never solutions to answers. Low birthrates balance by replenishing with imports. Housing heartaches recklessly top up more rules to penalise mankind as the bottom line.

Is this what we call true leadership? When LKY was alive, people never really appreciated the pure goodness till we can compare what we have now!; September 27, 2023 11:01 AM

May 12, 2017 “Singapore is the new Switzerland,” said Andy Xie, an independent economist based in Shanghai. Mr. Xie was fired as chief Asia economist at Morgan Stanley in 2006 after a private email he wrote calling Singapore a money laundering center became public.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore, its top financial regulator, disputed that allegation. “There is no doubt some increased risk of illicit fund flows associated with the rapid growth of private banking flows into Singapore,” a spokeswoman said in a written statement. Nevertheless, she said, Singapore “will not tolerate its financial system being used as a refuge or conduit for illicit fund flows.”; October 04, 2023 11:03 AM

Just underwent an overhaul with new stalls.
A customer who was allergic to caffeine ordered a drink which stated 'iced lychee'.
He saw the man behind the counter turn on the tap from a big metal pot with the words 'black tea' into the lychee glass.

What you see and read is not what you get:
Customer: What tea is that? I am allergic to caffeine.
Worker: But this one you order one.
Customer: Ya but the words say 'iced lychee'?

It is only natural for humans to feel defensive.

Your actions and words are constantly being watched and emulated, be aware that you’re not only undermining your own leadership but also potentially harming people with your bad example.

[“Once you are defensive in your answer. Just know there is the truth in the question you have been asked, or there is truth in what they are saying to you.”

Beware of Bitcoin investment schemes where scammers, posing as experienced "investment managers," lure investors with tales of massive cryptocurrency profits. Promising hefty returns, these fraudsters ask for an upfront fee, only to vanish with your money, leaving you with empty promises. They may even ask for personal information under the guise of fund transfers, risking your cryptocurrency security. Don't let the allure of quick wealth cloud your judgment. Always verify the credibility of those you're investing with and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay informed, invest wisely, and protect your digital assets.
