Just some thoughts about the ministers’ pay cut. Firstly, I must applaud the move and say that it is a step in the right direction. Let us give credit where it is due. They were clearly keen to appease the public with this move. There will be those who will still say “Not enough! Cut [...]

Top 10 President “Tan” Jokes
Monday, 22 August, 2011
I’m sorry…but there are none. It’s just impossible to make a “Tan” joke sound even half clever these days. Most of them are just cringe-worthy. I’ve seen at least a few dozen different “Tan” jokes the past one week, and I’m sure you’ve had the same too. If there’s one thing worse than “curry” jokes [...]

Spoilt Votes It’s kinda late so I’ll just leave you with one thought for now: Why do people always assume that all the spoilt votes were actually intended for the opposition?

Does anyone really believe that the Nicole Seah Party, erm I mean the National Solidarity Party, stands a chance in Marine Parade GRC?
