Many simply are spoonfed, dun think and behave poorly, this is what universities are for most who are not scholars....btw does the world need so many scholars who can't solve our problems

Unless you want to be a doctor and lawyers, degrees are a waste of time ...how many grads can be a success in SG....70% ,50% or less??

Like what the uncle said study so much for what make us stupid ...might as well learn play poker and try yor luck and skills in poker tornaments

I pass by SMU today..many youths just hang out with angmoh, look good and make small talk..wonder what's the point of building a uni in downtown might as well build IRC there with casino and convention centre

The man just said that studying too much paralysed your thinking and creative output, wonder if there's any truth in it?

One middle aged man on the streets passing brochures decried to me about the future of SG.

He once hold a stable job in the airport but now pass pamphlets.

"Aiyah, why study and study make people here more stupid lah. look at the people here with degrees, all cannot think all just follow law cannot lead and be creative mati lah'.after that he went his way passing brochures shaking his head.

In the past , present or future.Man always struggles against dark forces in our society so now we honour our brave men and women in ourisland.

SG may not have a maximus but if every heart of singaporean can be like him..we do not need an idol hero.

So in another day, another time farewell maximus

"Restoring the pay cuts of civil servants and ministers is reasonable as Singapore's economy has now regained momentum." - Ng Eng Hen

"I don't think my reading for the economy is strong enough for us to even consider asking for the restoration of the cut in CPF." - Lim Boon Heng

"If we ever introduce anything like quotas or incentives based on race, it will reinforce the perception that Malays and Indians have low skills and can only get jobs because of an incentive or quota." - Tharman Shanmugaretnam

"These schools (SAP schools) need to remain essentially Chinese to give the edge in interacting with China..." - self contradictory statement made by Tharman Shanmugaretnam again

"We must encourage those who earn less than $200 per month and cannot afford to nurture and educate many children never to have more than two... We will regret the time lost if we do not now take the first tentative steps towards correcting a trend which can leave our society with a large number of the physically, intellecually and culturally anaemic." - MM Lee in 1967

"If you don't include your women graduates in your breeding pool and leave them on the shelf, you would end up a more stupid society...So what happens? There will be less bright people to support dumb people in the next generation. That's a problem." - MM Lee in 1983

"The PAP Government has always thrived on its ability to anticipate problems." - Wong Kan Seng

"We are not able to be everywhere as a government to know everything in Singapore." - PM Lee

Retrenchment is good for singapore. If there is no retrenchments, then I worry." - SM Goh

"I don't think that there should be a cap on the number of directorship that a person can hold." - PAP MP John Chen who holds 8 directorships.

"It's not for the money because some of the companies pay me as little as $10,000 a year." - PAP MP Wang Kai Yuen who holds 11 directorships.

"If you want to dance on a bar top, some of us will fall off the bar Top. Some people will die as a result of liberalising bar top dancing... a young girl with a short skirt dancing on it may attract some insults from some other men, the boyfriend will start fighting and some people will die." - Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports

"I would want to form an alternative policies group in Parliament, comprising 20 PAP MPs. These 20 PAP MPs will be free to vote in accordance with what they think of a particular policy. In other words, the whip for them will be lifted. This is not playing politics, this is something which I think is worthwhile doing." - SM Goh

"If you sing Jailhouse Rock with your electric guitar when others are playing Beethoven, you are out of order. The whip must be used on you." - SM Goh again, on a dramatic u-turn, rethink or backtrack, whatever you call it.

"Save on one hairdo and use the money for breast screening." - another gem from Lim Hng Kiang

"We started off with (the name) and after looking at everything, the name that really tugged at the heartstrings was in front of us. The name itself is not new, but what has been used informally so far has endeared itself to all parties." - Mah Bow Tan on the $400,000 exercise to rename Marina Bay as Marina Bay.

"Having enjoyed football as a national sport for decades, we in Singapore have set ourselves the target of reaching the final rounds of World Cup in 2010." - Ho Peng Kee

"Only 5% are unemployed. We still have 95% who are employed." - Yeo Cheow Tong

"Singaporean workers have become more expensive than those in the USA and Australia." - Tony Tan

"People support CPF cuts because there are no protest outside parliament." - PM Lee

"No, it was not a U-turn, and neither was it a reversal of government policy. But you can call it a rethink." - Yeo Cheow Tong

"...I regret making the decision because, in the end, the baby continued to be in intensive care, and KKH now runs up a total bill of more than $300,000..." - Lim Hng Kiang, regretting the decision to save a baby's life because KKH ran up a $300,000 bill

I feel a sense of disenchantment nothing like say an American celebrating their first 50 years of independence as an immigrant state.

Christianity need to go back to their roots and stop this modernism and liberalism if they wish to survive another 1000 years.

Crusaders of christ need to go back to tradition

The famous TVB drama song is out, please enjoy and give feedback of this KTV song

Choose your destiny, bro laurence82 go eat a bullet

Hi guys, I watched the movie “Wanted” .An accounts manager gets played out by his girlfriend and co worker..his fat female boss bully him at the workplace.He lived near a noisy railway neighbourhood. In short, his life sucks and he feels like a loser.Next came Fox played by joline an assassin who guide him along with morgan freeman the ways of an assassin fratenity.Big bucks come in and ego restored with amazing marksmanship and unarmed combat. SG men lived like that, most working class just take much of mundane affairs and never wanted any changes beyond their safe workspace.How many of us can break free from the matrix and lived a life worthy of a gentleman?

If a soldier can make his way out with a map and compass, it’s good sign

2010 will be a year for fantasy movies..not only the hobbits but clash of the titans will be coming to 2010 .it’s a remake of the 1981 version

hi guys, Anyone having trouble logging into their hotmail just now?

Cut costs now caanot afford a line so no autoroaming

Hi guys,
Like to know if it;s possible to make overseas calls on your cell phine using prepaid starhub sim card

Wonder why the tel aviv beach babes really so liberal…makes me wonder if they shot the beach scenes in Israel or brazil?

Depending on local men is not a long term solution…Sg is just not reproducing enough men to do NS for 20 years including reservist..

James Mcvoy star of Wanted will be playing bilbo baggins in the hobbit

Hope that the prequel will surpass the LOTR but I’m crossing my fingers.Look at Star wars prequel and you know what I mean..great special effects but sterile plot with medicore acting..

Anyone can explain the paradox?
I was born in a joss stick buddhist family but buddhism never appeal to me as a religion though I did read some tibetan and pureland buddhist materials.
Buddhism seems to be more like a philosophy

Our soldiers nowadays considered thinking warriors unlike the past just follow law..so how does our soldier boys stack up against gurkhas in Nepal and Israel defence forces?
No one wants to put our soldiers on harmsway but any armed forces in the world needed to be vigilent to be relevant..
Someone suggested that we should outsource our armed forces to FT mercenaries which I think is not a far fetched idea since everything is privatised not only in SG..look at Iraq they are hiring private security forces to guard oilfield installations..think the security forces must have at least commando background to command the high pay

Just watch Frodo save the day by becoming a ring bearer, wonder if you guys find the film has gay tendencies..crying and hugging…soft words in male bonding unlike warrior
