Chicken expensive eat fish; cannot find chicken eat eggs. That’s where our reputation as a nanny state lies. Our political leaders and their stooges in the civil service and academia think we’re kindergarten graduates. © Chan Joon Yee New Book! Making Sense of the Three Kingdomns

Uncle Roger Has a Softer Side

by admin June 17, 2022 No Comments

I never liked this character. I knew the day would come and it has. Comedian Nigel Ng, aka Uncle Roger, thinks Singapore food is a ‘less good’ version of Malaysian fare.

by admin March 30, 2022 No Comments

We are more than a month into the war between Russia and Ukraine. It’s not a pretty scene when Russian forces start shelling and shooting indiscriminately in an attempt to break the stalemate.
