OYK will be defence minister. NCM still relatively inexperienced, defence minister usually is the toughest man of the cabinet and defence is the most important besides finance.

"For him (LKY), the media was one of three institutions in Singapore he told an aide he needed to control in order to govern effectively. The other two were the Treasury and the armed forces."

Is it simple la.. most sinkie are selfish and greedy. Lets face the fact. If a particular smc or grc with mostly retired folks are getting all the goodies you think they care whether younger generation jobless and gst increase issue ?

Its just human nature to care for and his/her interest first.

If any XMM becomes MP and do full time social worker, will be able to get that amount of support. She is nothing special. That is why she should only do full time MP and not job hopping.

I don't like Poh Lisan, but I also don't like Chee Soon Juan. Same as last GE, I don't like Murali Pillai, again I also don't like CSJ. It's a meaningless contest to me.

The buibui volunteer with ET working as consultant and training failed badly compare to you.

Make ET bend his back and knee down to sinkies yet didnt get the right context or photo they want. How can make our minister no dignity n tio shunned.

and also in hindsight, what is a kate spade... why are people still going on about that? kate spade is such an embarrassingly low tier "luxury" brand it barely sits above fast fashion brands like zara jeez. i mean, you can literally buy their mass produced bags off amazon for a fifth the price of an iphone 16.

i'd not like it if she was branishing chanel and hermes etc... but seriously... woman was working as SA at ernst and young... your bank RM fresh grad also gucci or lv already..

Bully tactics... To impose control with show of force in numbers, to regain public perception that iron fist is in charge and they are always here. Like patrol area instead to gueinuely care for residents
