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 […]

Necessary & Unnecessary Risks

by admin January 7, 2022 No Comments

As late as December last year, people around me have been embracing the VTL and travelling to places like the US, UK, Malaysia and feeling generally very optimistic that the economy would surge and the worst would be behind us. Not everyone felt this way. As early as late November, many shops have put their […]

2021 Looking Back In Wonder

by admin December 30, 2021 No Comments

It’s time to sum up for the year again and in the blink of an eye, I’ve been looking back in wonder for the last 10 years. We all try to live the moment, but at times, you just can’t help but look back, especially when there are so many arrogantly derisive, argumentative and forgetful […]

Foreign Interference At Zaobao?

by admin December 22, 2021 No Comments

Peng Shuai retracts accusations? For those who have not been following, let me do a detailed recap. 35-year-old Peng Shuai is a professional tennis player from China who has won 22 world titles. In February 2014, she was ranked world No. 1 doubles player by the WTA. On 2 November 2021, Peng Shuai posted a […]

Is Facebook Leaning Left, Right Or Just Going Nuts?

by admin November 30, 2021 No Comments

Is Facebook Leaning Left, Right Or Just Going Nuts? Social media is simply a platform on which netizens could express their opinions. No platform has been more frequently accused of being politically biased than Facebook. And there seems to be some confusion here. The left wing has accused it of blocking traffic to their news […]
