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. He has no doubts that Malaysia has better food than Singapore. He goes on to describe our bak kut teh with the most unflattering […]

The Crazy Causes Of Preventable Deaths

by admin June 9, 2022 No Comments

So what’s new? The June holidays are here and the airport is crowded again. Families are travelling but the long wait for passport renewals seems to show no signs of abating. Meanwhile, some families I know have returned home only to find themselves down with Covid. Do take precautions to prevent getting infected when you […]

So what’s new? Below is Singapore’s medal haul at the 31 SEA Games held at Hanoi, Vietnam. Team Singapore has a total haul of 47 gold, 44 silver, 70 bronze medals. A total of 61 out of the 161 medals were clinched by SEA Games debutants. Our athletics team did exceptionally well with one gold, three silver and […]

Explaining Shanghai

by admin May 21, 2022 No Comments

Shanghai authorities announced a city-wide lockdown split in two stages for mass testing on 27 March 2022, after the city reached its highest recorded daily new cases due to the Omicron variant. Starting on 28 March, residents living east of the Huangpu River would go into lockdown for four days, and the other half for the remaining four. […]

We’ve Got A Winner!

by admin April 18, 2022 No Comments

So what’s new? Bertha Henson calls him a “dark horse” but current Finance Minister Mr Lawrence Wong is quite likely to be our next PM. Oh, let me get the terms right. Mr Lawrence Wong’s colleagues have chosen him to be the leader of the 4G team. That merely puts him one step closer to […]

Communism Better Than Democracy?

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. Millions have lost their homes and fled the country. Refugees keep pouring into neighbouring countries. An untold number of Russians and Ukrainians […]

War In Ukraine

by admin March 5, 2022 No Comments

Let me get one thing straight. I’m not a big fan of Uncle Sam and I think George Bush deserved that shoe in his face. The second Gulf War was totally unnecessary. Having said that, I’m extremely grateful for the elimination of Osama bin Laden. As globocop, America got a lot of things very wrong, […]

Economy & Humanity

by admin February 19, 2022 No Comments

Humanity: the quality of being humane; benevolence. So what’s new? Covid numbers have hit the roof, hovering around 20,000 post-CNY. By now, I’m sure you know somebody who has had it and I’m also sure you know or suspect at least a few of the people you know who may have gotten it but not […]

Happy CNY 得饶人处且饶人

by admin January 30, 2022 No Comments

So what’s new? CNY is just a couple of days from this time of writing. Allow me to recap on a few things that happened recently. They have nothing to do with the celebration of CNY and yet, they have everything to do with the spirit of CNY. First, the case of the pink mats […]

Sudden Loss of Power

by admin January 13, 2022 No Comments

Before I go to what’s new, let me tell you an old story. Like all old stories, it’s not only familiar but also often repeated. An uncle walks into a dental clinic and furiously told the folks in there that he was going to complain. His wife’s chrome denture had a clasp that had broken […]
