A Singaporean son tells his story
I was born in the late 70s. When I was 6 months old I was given to my aunt to take care till I was secondary 1. I only went back to my own home on Saturday afternoon and returned back to my aunt’s place on Sunday night. Even for school holidays. When I studying […]
A Singaporean recounts her personal experience with hiring
By Staphnie : I posted my story below on 7 Sep 2015. 5 years on, the story has remained the same for many while the $ value has gone up. It is interesting to read what I wrote 5 years ago on a hot topic of recency. There is no magic in politics indeed… My […]
Joel’s conversation with SM Teo Chee Hean
Facebook user Joel Tan, a writer, enjoyed recounting a conversation he had with Mr Teo Chee Hean when Mr Teo came visiting. He mistook Mr Teo for a Minster in the PMO. Mr Teo is in fact, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security. Joel considers estate upgrading a ‘lame’ thing. Guess not everyone […]
A Singaporean in Banking speaks
Benjamin Chan says it is important to have Singaporeans in top jobs, but only by his/her own merits rather than their birthrights.
To the millennial Singaporeans – don’t assume it is your birthrights to get a job in Singapore. Fight for it and polish up your CVs.
To the MPs – don’t take the easy route of socialism and protectionism just to win votes. Preserve what made us an economic miracle but enforce fairness in the workplace so that qualified Singaporeans don’t get sidelined.
To the “other Singaporeans” – don’t just complain why other foreigners are ahead of you. Venture out and get some overseas experiences as well. Life is not always fair, deal with it!
Dr. Jamus Lim – Wake Up!
“The problem now is how to work the system of one man, one vote when we have to get quality leadership to the top.

And the best television performers and rally entertainers are not necessarily the best leaders who can deliver good government”
Is the special position of Malays being questioned, asks Sembang Masyarakat

Job interviews of 7 interesting young candidates; Not hungry enough
Are we in an economic crisis or not?
Are our young Singaporeans not hungry enough or too choosy?
Retrenched, but Hairul did not give up and neither did MP Murali Pillai
Thank you, Mr Murali, for once again making a difference in someone’s life.
Kudos to Mr Hairul Firdaus.
He has kept an open mind and applied himself to learning and joining training courses. He did not give up.
Can PAP just let success speak for itself?
No one recognises a hero who prevents something bad from happening, and it didn’t happen.
The government’s success in protecting Singaporeans has, ironically, resulted in a disconnect between government and people.
The government was left to talk about the burden of building a new future in a new normal while the people talked about how to stop the government.
There was no shared burden. What crisis? Life went on pretty much as usual save for the ‘inconvenient’ restrictions.
Our police officers are not out to brutally injure anyone; they are here to protect life and property
Are our police officers weak? Why did it take so many to arrest one person? Is the amount of force used appropriately? Was it necessary to use the taser? Arts & Education Director and Marketing & Communications Director Abdillah Zamzuri gave his take on this. “Public Servants, like the Police Officers, are bound by their […]
