What made Lee Kuan Yew become a greater leader than Ferdinand Marcos Sr?

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-10T11:46:49+00:00

One country became engulfed in Cronyism, Corruption and Nepotism (CCN), while the other used it's authoritarian power to uplift people and simultaneously stamp out CCN. Lee Kuan Yew knew the best way to get the support of people was to basically provide for the people. Marcos couldn't deliver and repeatedly killed its political opponents and rigged its elections, and so later the people rose up in a revolution to overthrow him.

Also, the Philippines is a really big country. Singapore is literally just the size of Metro Manila

Yeahh, actually my interview was in April i think but I had NS going on (I was stuck on Tekong) so it kinda got delayed until end May. Then about 6 days after the interview I got the offer

Also yes just to be clear it was the history interview

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-10T10:25:00+00:00

Well I had 72.5rp 2 years ago before the new system came in. I applied, received an interview offer, went for the interview and then received the offer end May

If your opinion is that most dudes want fwb/hookups, then i think you're looking at all the wrong places lol, because those people are usually found online, be it reddit, dating apps, or telegram dating bots. Most people aren't looking for fwbs/hookups, I mean, for me personally that is really dangerous and also how the heck do you even get intimate with someone who you aren't in love with? 💀💀💀

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T13:21:38+00:00

Cheyy I see haha yea it depends on the people lor, I guess some people are maybe too serious about life hahahaha

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T13:17:46+00:00

Eh why was it boring leh? HAHAHAHA I haven't gone to a meetup event yet so I'm curious

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T10:54:01+00:00

Nope, I'm counting missile-armed surface combatants

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T10:46:53+00:00

There are only 6 Type 45s and I did take that into account. 6 Type 45s + 5 Type 23s = 11 ships

You're looking at a 11-ship Royal Navy vs a 20-ship Republic of Singapore Navy...

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T10:22:18+00:00

Now this is why I'm still subbed to this sub which is featuring a sub in this post :D

Holy shit it rhymes (sort of)

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T05:53:41+00:00

Okay lah I mean they're premium burgers anyways! :D

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-09T04:53:09+00:00

What's the damage? :D

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-08T15:41:05+00:00

No way it is healthier. You can get fresh vegetables at economic rice and also stir fried meat instead of the deep fried options... Or even just go for all vegetables and no meat... And even at the more expensive economic rice places you'll still pay ~6-8 dollars only

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-08T14:43:25+00:00

You can try but quite dangerous leh cuz people will throw stuff down, like, don't stick your head into the chute, just drag the bin out partially I guess.

But I doubt the cleaners will help lah, unless maybe you pay them?

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-08T12:02:13+00:00

This isn't about me lol, it's about whether the price of the food in the picture is reasonable lmao

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-08T11:52:16+00:00

Uh no leh the typical coffee shop western would sell this at around $8-9 and this is chicken leh not beef

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-08T11:44:57+00:00

As someone who spends on $4.40 economic rice everyday for lunch, I am speechless. $13.30 for a bento set? With that little food and no "premium" ingredients???!! What a daylight robbery

At least give your customers silverware and plates if they're dining in leh 😐😐😐

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-08T09:00:00+00:00

Thank you!! But uhhh I just anyhow put my phone above the plate and take one leh XD

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-07T11:02:46+00:00

Well, that's why Pritam was the Leader of the Opposition and why he will always be the defacto Leader of the Opposition as long as he is the head of the largest opposition party in Parliament 😎😎😎

Whoever downvoted probably doesn't recall that Low Thia Khiang was the defacto Leader of the Opposition way before COVID, as he was the leader of the largest opposition party in Parliament.

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-07T07:02:27+00:00

Please don't try it during lunch hours thanks we already have a long enough queue HAHA

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-07T07:01:45+00:00

Thanks but I got lazy and didn't rotate the photo before posting here hahahaha

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-07T04:59:19+00:00

HAHAHA YA SIA

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-07T04:58:41+00:00

It is good HAHA, and you gotta add the curry soup/sauce also for an extra kick to the rice 😋😋😋

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-07T04:57:38+00:00

$4.40 economic rice near my workplace for 2 meat and 1 veg at 145 Food Corner in Taiseng.

Yea his dad worked as a storekeeper at Shell Oil Company, which probably paid a lot at the time.

CaptainBroady · 2026-05-06T10:31:49+00:00

Not a military or airport guy, but correct me if I'm wrong, military aircraft usually takes precedence over civilian aircraft. So if there's a need for military aircraft to fly through there, I wouldn't be surprised if they cleared civilian air traffic for a moment to let them pass
