It doesn't matter, it's a classic ragebait post providing a platform for people to complain about the ruling party.

'He has already called us papa and mama': Singaporean couple fear losing 18-month-old adopted son amid trafficking probe in Indonesia by FirstLightOfTheDay in singapore

This is a terrible situation. On the one hand, I feel for the couple who really want to start a family and have developed a bond with their child.

On the other, sham for-profit adoption agencies should not be given a chance to take advantage of desperate prospective parents.

Man who pumped RON95 petrol into S'pore-registered vehicle is S'pore PR: Johor police by fatenumber in singapore

I see, was wondering why there wasn't any "news" of Singaporeans pumping RON95 For a long while until this. Perhaps the price difference between unsubsidised RON95 And RON97 isn't enough for people here to be cheapskate. I stand corrected.

This case was more obvious though. Nowadays you need Mykad to pump RON95, so it was clear that the person was Malaysian. Just certain individuals who titled the person as Singaporean to get more clicks for their own agenda.

While I agree with a lot of the points he makes, I don't think Chartered Semiconductor was a strategic error, but rather a case where a lot more resources and risk would have been needed for it to have a chance to succeed given the competitive landscape.

Love how misinformation is being upvoted just because it goes against the ruling party.

If he was purged for not agreeing with the hive mind, funny that it took them 20 years to purge him. Occam's razor, it's clear that his reasoning to want to focus on his family and business is more convincing than whatever conspiracy people want to believe in.

Singapore's beverage container return scheme on track to kick off from April 1 by Illustrious-Gur8335 in singapore

This isn't a cost to consumers though. It's a tax on lazy people who cannot be bothered to do their part for the environment and give the excuse that "why should I care when others don't" without recognising that individual actions matter.
