TOC is just a blog, really - made up of a group of ordinary Singaporeans who cares about current issues. I think whether the mainstream media reports us or not is not important. The more important thing is whether Singaporeans are interested in the first place. And with more support, we hope more Singaporeans will blog or make their views known through whatever channels are available. Nonetheless, thanks for your kind words.. :) Regards, Andrew Loh Dear Robert,

Thank you, Mr Andrew LOH, for a very important article. You have done better than all the MPs and PAPaganda media put together, despite the MPs paid research assistants and the media's vast resources. 2. I don't read PAPaganda media but do they mention TOC or do they do the kind of hatchet job on TOC like on CSJ, etc, namely No Mentions, Pretending TOC Doesn't Exist, Mention But Only In Derogatory News, etc? 3. We can know the impact, effectiveness and honesty of TOC by the way the PAPaganda, especially the ST, treats TOC. RH:

Life has never been so good for the gahmen. No wonder they keep asking for increase in their million dollars salary. It doesn't really matter if these increases are justified because if the gahmen want their ways, they just have it. After these increases implemented, the gahmen will have another round of wayang debates with MP raising problems and then the gahmen pretend to learn from these honest mistakes again. But the gahmen never learn about truly taking care of citizen but they did improve on their acting skill. It really shows how silly and moronic the Singaporean is. The gahmen everyday laughing the way to the bank. Bank ? Isn't some banks belong to government or almost all banks here have stake by government. Oh...look like Singaorean is busted again.

There is no reason to increase HDB car park fee.it was increased from $25 to $90 over the years.The government had profited and collected the building cost of MSCP.There is no reason to have further increase.
