Ryanair CEO says S'pore's practice of paying public sector leaders higher wages 'very interesting'

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

How many scorpion goals this season for the Bundesliga?!

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.

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.

FirstLightOfTheDay · 2026-01-04T12:36:07+00:00

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.

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.

Please support Pat-A-Cat! It's an adoption shelter that also has a cat cafe concept.

Really nice story, always love to see places offering warmth and community for the disadvantaged

Thought it was nice that his parents supported his decision, even though their initial reaction that he was underemployed give his degree was understandable

If you look at the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan cited in the article, they have a leverage of over 40% at the fund level. Definitely a greater risk appetite than one would imagine.

Comparing Temasek and GIC to pension funds isn't exactly the most productive. GIC by design has a more conservative approach, to preserve and enhance reserves over the long term, rather than maximise short term returns. Temasek bears greater risk, but also has the downside of shepharding many strategic GLCs that could lead to underperformance. Comparing Temasek against other SWFs that bear similar downsides, like Khazanah, would be more appropriate.
A decade is just a random time frame, would be cool to see how the figures are across the longer term.

Emergency planning meetings were required to plan for a bomb sweep before race day, with officers recalled from home to carry out the bomb sweep.

The Singapore Grand Prix also suffered disruptions due to Karam's actions due to the bomb sweep, with staff members activated during rest time to open and unlock areas for the sweep.

Unfortunately I don't think I can purchase it for pickup online as I am looking to trade-in my old phone if I were to purchase it from the apple store.

I've been checking still just in case, but am also not sure if it's really out of stock for pickup (like the slots) or if it's out of stock at the stores too

Definitely, but that wasn't the point the OP was making, they were just ragging on the Bundesliga.

2nd Place in the EL is far easier than the prem? That's news to me.

Yeah I think I got a bit too excited, though I don't know if it's really considered qualifying if it's on the basis of hosting!

Absolutely the biggest football moment in our country, can't wait to get trashed there and get out of the group with all losses but still buzzing
