Les’ the 155 is conventional. There was an international call on ban of landmines and CBUs, but surprisingly, even a Tiny Red Dot strongly rejected that call. Seems like ST was raking $$ on these items. We were suckers to think “Swiss standard” meant std of living; actually our ‘grow-at-all-cost’ garhem meant international arm sales.

Anyway, sorry that we have diverted from article topic. Have a nice LONG weekend…..

If even Wikipedia mentioned our F-16A/Bs given to Thailand in exchange for airspace, then I don’t think that is a scoop and certainly not something cooked up to mislead. The F-16A/B are still very capable planes, and if we wanted to give “old” planes, then could have given the F-5s or even collect some A4 Skyhawks from various monument stands/museums for them. I believe the F16A/B’s will serve the same purpose to the Thais as they did to the RSAF when we first acquired them. Bartering is something quite common when military hardware is involved.

In short, you didn’t miss anything if you engage an idiot like MV.

This is what I called trying to cook up a storm to mislead people.
The F16s were old fighter-planes belonged to Singapore and given away to the Thai Airforce, in return for using its airspace .

//the reason is because the opposition is likely to fight on the ‘foreign talents’

The list of public demonstration of incompetency of this govt is long. There is no shortage of topics or angle of attack for the opposition.

The truth is: the opposition has performed much better than the pigs over the past decade.

Start the elections now if you are so confident or if LHL is so confident.
why wait?
Your pigs can then claim pensions faster since most of them have only gone through one elections.

If an election is held now, the PAP at most would lose 1 or 2 seats.

The reason is because the opposition is likely to fight on the ‘foreign talents’ issue. In reality, most Singaporeans can understand the need to bring in more foreign talents.

tell that to lhl and ask him to start the election now.

//How could you have income increase if your employer does not have profit increase?
yeah, it is very fair to have a 1% increase in salary but your employers’ profit increase by 10%.
He needn’t worry, the employer, can always get an ft to do the job at a lower cost.

yeah right, it is very encouraging to the workers if the profits of employers increase year on year but the worker’s pay stay stagnant.

@My Views, income decline while all the fees increase. You must be daft to believe that there isn’t any impact on low income. No wonder more and more people are shouting vote PAP out.

read the article again. it’s calling for transparency and good questions.

Are you guys barking up the wrong tree?

How much is the S&CC going to increase? 50 cents? $2? or $3? In all honesty, how many residents do care about paying an extra 50 cents or $3 per month?

It is naive to think this extra $3 cost will have an impact on residents’ voting pattern!

This explained why the opposition parties could not beat the PAP. Because they don’t even understand the majority of voters’ needs and concerns!

@fpc

the only ones that are fatigued are the Hamas. they need to operate secretly, fire rockets and run. the IDF only needs to send 1 or 2 F16s to erase a lot of them, plus a lot of their friends, from this world.

“fatigued”? no. sick of fighting, maybe. plus, US pressure. another possible reason might be because Yitzhak Rabin had liberal leanings.

if u think the US does not dare to pressure Israel, u only need to Google for examples.

oh, btw, i feel that the Ireland issue is misrepresented and misunderstood.

Northern Ireland always had the option to secede from the UK. i view it as a political power struggle between those that want to stay in the UK, and those that want to reunite. the British were requested to go in after the Northern Ireland’s security services can not handle it. the IRA laid down its arms after a power sharing deal, and the last time i checked, Northern Ireland is still part of the UK. so the IRA and terrorists achieved nothing.
