concern2:
Is the sotong name Paul II?Way2GO:
Went to NTUC seafood section today n eyed a batch of fresh sotongs.
wan wriggled, so me poked at it n inquired its prediction of d BE results.
It started to wriggle some more - n wan of its tentacles formed something which looks like a 'T' - imagine a shape like a a compressed 'C' hook used for hanging things.
Looks like a hammer.... :scratchhead:
Or was it an incomplete 'lightning' sign? :nailbite:
So I prod it again to get a clearer picture.
Dis time it didn't move.
I will cook it for dinner tonite.
See dat bugger still want to play dead anot! :rotflmao:
Prediction via squid :rotflmao:
:idea: Keep it till saturday... If it is accurate, maybe can use it for toto prediction on a weekly basis. -
3Boys:
Know where u r coming fr fr those who hv served. :celebrate:I also did NS, and completed all my ICT, as will my 3 boys. I don't wear it on my sleeve and hit everyone on the head with it. Nor does it get in the way of what I feel is fair and just treatment for people or dictate my thinking for every single policy measure 'oh, must benefit those with NS'.
But must also try to understand those who r sore coz of perceived disadvantage as it is known dat some naturalized citizens r gaming d system to their advantage. -

They r both swingers!
Heck, I voted opposition last time.3Boys:

Way2GO:
He just penned that based on observation made as an NMP I guess. However, from the points that he is trying to make, maybe once a white, will always be a white.chenwj:
anyone read this convincing piece? btw, who's calvin cheng? NMP?
dis guy was exposed as a YPAP member after he was chosen to be an NMP.
He promptly resigned fr YPaP d following day n kept d NMP seat since NMPs r supposed to be non-partisan.
Guess SL's comment still sting.
She then said, \"It is ironic for someone who is in this august chamber because of an interview ...

At least CSM did National Service to do his part to protect our motherland. This is an earned right to be called Singaporean. I served my full time 2 1/2 years NS (during my time) and did my full reservist cycle. I don't think new citizens need to do this.
Why need to duck? Its true wat!
But their offsprings will hv to serve or they forfeit their right to citizenship.
d question of how many of these 2nd generation of naturalized citizens go on to do NS was ever raised in Parliament.
IIRC, MOD never did provide a clear answer.
u go figure lah.
If very gud numbers, m sure MOD wld hv announce it big big.
I think if the number is compared to the number of new citizens who have sons and the age of the sons is now in their late teens then the number it will be reasonable. Because we are looking at those who became citizens about 12-20 years ago. That , my assumption is this number itself not high compared to the new citizens totally. I am not gogle-smart to find the numbers , but if someone can then it would be good. A good comparison would be no of second gens who did/are doing NS vs. those 2nd gen boys who have evaded/escaped it. Otherwise it doesnt make much sense.
I know quite a few 2nd gens who did NS. Some who did NS and still remain as PR. Some ( actually two only ) who did NS as PR but after completion decided to take ciitzenship. And quite a few who took up citizenship many years back ( when their sons were small) and are doing NS now or going to soon. Most I do not know well enough to ask them details ( like siblings of my kid's schoolmates) And of course my sample size is small. -

Yea, dis new chap was quite gud though his screeching high-pitched voice was a bit jarring on d ears.This Dennis Tan is hilarious:
\"When the Bus Services Enhancement Fund was introduced under the LTA Amendment Bill last year, the Workers' Party MPs were present at the debate and spoke on the Bill. When the vote had to be taken on the Bill, there were not enough MPs in Parliament! It was six something I remember, I was there in the public gallery. There were only 21 MPs present out of 87! Now, the Deputy Speaker, because the Speaker don't know go where, chairing the session had to postpone the vote to the next day to pass the Bill. Such an important Bill when the government was going to spend $1.1 billion of your money on buses, and where are the PAP MPs? Now, what is the point of voting for one more PAP MP? Will he make a difference?\"
:rotflmao:
If he can correct dat n improve on diction, it wld make for more pleasant listening to him in future. -

Its a closely guarded info in d hands of MOD.
Sure there r some who hv chosen to remain n serve.
ppl tend not to see those who hv served but only those who hv evaded NS to augment their arguments.
However it puzzles me why MOD can't just reveal d statistics to support their argument.
Some r quite obvious in d way they game d system.
d parents r naturalized, children born here, when d children come of age - d daughters continue to stay while d sons elect to evade. -
