Is religion a mental illness?: This is an unfair comparison.

A well written and original post, my answer to it is as follows below.

Just as it's their rights to believe in and promote their chosen divine entitles or beliefs, I feel that it's my rights to be able to believe in my own opinions and to at least share my views. I'm Catholic btw, although I'm starting to doubt my own faith.

Is Singapore too 'advanced' (GDP too high) for a minimum wage law?

Me thinks that Singapore is too developed for the imposition of min wage laws.

U cannot deny it, the Singapore economy on steroids.
In 'Foreign worker levies to increase, says MOM' [CNA; 21Feb2011]: "There are nearly 1.1 million foreigners employed in Singapore as at end-2010. ... 871,000 work permit holders "

Maids, unless necessary, should be an appropriately priced luxury.

How long can SG insulate itself from US CPI inflation?

U buy $10 worth, we donate 0.6cents.
That's not even 1% of purchase value, not even 0.1% but 0.06% of the purchase price.

Honest government= no inflation (generally speaking that is).

Why do we rely on GDP as a measurement of economic growth, when it continues to go up while communities are deteriorating?

So the leaders of Singapore are 'Blind Men' too.

Most likely it's just an oversight. It could be that it's standard routine for this opera group to display the poster at the end of every show but so happened that for this particular one, it had displayed the poster at the wrong time lor.
I would suggest that you write to the production team to highlight the matter lah.

Cat feeders: feeding the public cat or stray rats?

I think that anyone who abandons cat food or leaves cat food unattended should be fined half that of casual littering (1st offense) since what isn't eaten by cats would end up eaten by rats, resulting in higher costs to clean up the rat problem- glue traps et al.

Ball is at foot of YSL I think.

Topic:Expulsion of Yaw Shin Leong from Party Membership
Short story why they took this action:
Yaw brought embarrassment to the party and most importantly, is a political liability because of the bad press. Hence, he must go or else next GE, how? That is likely how WP is thinking. So, they expelled him.

The fly in the ointment just had to go. [Ecclesiastes 10:1 NIV]

Clarificn:
Ordinary member of party =/= member of CEC.
CEC is central exec. committee, they make decisions for party, who to allow in n who to kick out, as just ordinary memb (non-CEC), U just suck thumb n await orders wan.

Poor YSL's website's automated feed actually announces his own expulsion fr party!

i think WP has made a bold move. this is an important episode in the local political scene, they have just made history.
 on one hand, technically there is probably no explicit provison in the law and the party regulations how to deal with such cases (MP expelled by own party), so a new law would probably be made. and if YSL is thick-skinned enuff he probably can shoot back with a lawsuit wadever. cos according to LTK this is based on principle not rulings. but that would of cos make him admit or deny the allegations, which he probably would not. so WP took the risk.

Of course the charges are higher.  In cheaper ward, patient may need to wait as nurses maybe busy with another patient. Some proceedire requires 2 or more nurses.
