1. Ex-President Nathan – a position that paid $4 million a year which many Singaporeans felt is excessive and it’s role merely symbolic. Mr Nathan is also seen as non-independent when he easily opened the key to our reserves three years ago when the government requested for more money...

Our nation’s GDP may be seen as in the healthy range. However, the current job scene is really not optimistic and the working community are deriving little or no happiness in the work they did. I had observed an increasing number of my friends and ex-colleagues from both gen X and Y, ...
Others have reservations because they are undecided about what type of business to start. More often than not, these are people who know they want to be self-employed, but not in what capacity. This, too, can be a legitimate fear to have. If you currently work in a steady career, it i...

5. As a teenager I used to live in Kallang Airport, near to Geylang (red light area) and Joo Chiat. Back then though we knew Geylang is a red light district and inevitably time to time we need commute past those lorongs either while running some errands, meeting up friends or taking p...
I have 12 years of working experience, and my last job was a Senior Executive managing ICT operations for a financial institution. In November last year, I was told to tender my “resignation” to pave way for cheaper labour. Many of my friends have also left the IT industry citing reas...

The Government does not help if an entrepeneur fails ! Banks insist on personal guarantees on top of assets pledged for bank facilities extended like overdraft, letters of credit etc. In other words they come after you personally when your business fails. Banks in other words wants th...

The situation has evolved to the point the government and employers/job agencies discriminated against all Singaporeans and adopting a pro-foreigner stance, especially China. I can’t understand why they need to concern themselves, and in the process, us with the founding of the Republ...
I just want to make a couple of observations about what Mr. Chua has written. Firstly, he graduated with a business degree. I don’t want to give the impression that I’m looking down on business degrees and their equivalents but these are not widely considered to be all that rigorous, ...

These lines sounds almost patronizing, and makes it seem like malays are racially or genetically predisposed to do worse educationally, and simply cannot do well educationally even if socio-economic disadvantages were removed. You have to consider that many malays actually do do well ...
Gracious? Does PAP have that kind of quality? If calling Singaporeans “Daft, grumbler and without spur” after giving PAP all the GDP they needed to retire graciously with huge bonuses, the word gracious were long tossed out of their window. To add insult to injury comes immediately “r...
