Our deepest condolences to the family of Ms Lo Hoei Yen

“Joke has it that PAP gives you a drumstick but will take back a whole chicken from you. With what’s been happening lately, it’s more like they stole your whole chicken farm [raising the cost of living in every and any way possible while paying themselves million dollars salary] and feed you chicken feet and neck when you complain or beg for sustenance to survive [Mdm Lim's public assistance of $330].”
Feed Me To The Fish

“When asked if town councils might lose more money from their other investments, Dr Teo said that he did not have the details of their investments and declined comment about his town council, Holland-Bukit Panjang”

The Quiet Men in White

If the money is yours, you would be prudent. If it is not yours however, one can afford to be callous with it. “it” equates 12 milions. More »

November 23rd, 2008 | Category: Weekly Roundup | Comments (7)

“..16 million is 0.8 per cent of all their funds available for investment. Thus, all the TCs combined have 2 billion apportioned for investments… [as] the investible portion is 35% of the total sinking fund, TCs have about 5.7 billion! Yes, billion.”
Gabriel Sim

“Even a single voice should be heard. If 1,000 voices are not loud enough, I wonder what will make our [MAS] officials hear?”
Tan Kin Lian

“What saddens me even more is that none – absolutely zero – of our Members of Parliament have seen it necessary or worthy for them to visit Hong Lim Park on any of those five Saturdays to speak to the affected investors in person.”
Andrew Loh

“Would the PAP government dare repeal S17(2) of the [Industrial Relations Act that gives employers the LEGAL RIGHT to terminate an employee] and risk the wrath of employers, including foreign investors? We all know the answer. The PAP has never been sympathetic towards the ordinary worker or layman on the street.”
Solo Bear

“The ruling People’s Action Party will be making and posting their videos on their website. That’s great news. But then someone should tell them to submit all their videos to the Board of Film Censors, as required by the Films Act. Otherwise, the censors are not averse to physically seizing films, as they did with One Nation Under Lee. Or are some parties in Singapore more above the law than others?”
Martyn See

“An oppression so comfortable, you will not notice it.”
Molly Meek
