People ask why we don’t have a revolution in Singapore or at least some kind of reform like what we had in the past. Middle incomes are sinking, the ranks of the poor are swelling, almost all the economic gains are going to the top, and big money is corrupting our democracy. So why isn’t there more of a ruckus? What’s happening to Singaporeans? The working class is paralyzed with fear it will lose the jobs and wages it already has. In earlier decades, we had labour unions that wanted reform. Don’t we want to have a minimum wage, 40-hour workweek, unemployment insurance, Social Security etc? But we gone is our labour union. No longer. Working people don’t dare. The share of working-age Singaporeans holding jobs is now lower than at any time since 1990s and most of those employed are underemployed. No one has any job security. The last thing they want to do is make a fuss and risk losing the little that they think they have with minimum sums raised more than often now. When ...

Recently, another few batches of new citizens were converted, many people were angry online and they wanted the various alternative media to publish the news. Something I disagree with, the same for race and religion. We’re all humans so why the discrimination? Do you remember how WWII was started? Many people are unhappy with the recent conversion of new citizens but please remember that new citizens get to vote too, so we’ve to make them vote wisely, not cause divide but make Singaporeans be united as one :) Do you know that JBJ and LCS weren’t born in SG? What if there’s a new citizen who converted after GE2011 standing as an opposition candidate in the next election with backings of fellow new citizens including civil servants and former civil servants? In ten hours, I was flooded with massages. There are three main misconceptions which I shall clear them once and for all. 1. Civil servants will NEVER vote for opposition because they are PAP members. NO. That’s wha...

When the govt set something and people complain, they are told to be thankful. Why don’t the govt be thankful instead? Be thankful that we didn’t riot. Be thankful that we merely blog or vlog or comment online. Be thankful that we did nothing violent. Be thankful that we always seek clarification but you’re the one who sent us legal threats. Be thankful that we had peaceful protest but you’re the one who refuse to have a referendum. Be thankful that less than 60% voted for you yet you get to have more than 90% of the seats. Be thankful incompetent incumbent.

What’s the difference between fare revive and fare hike? Euphemism at it’s finest? Let’s be grateful, 400K low-wage workers will benefit from it: But what’s defined as “low-wage”? Didn’t Leong Sze Hian and Roy calculated that more than a quarter of Singaporeans are living below the poverty line? Are here comes the “right” news… Why are they increasing our fares when breakdowns are so frequent? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201746002226606 Why should we be paying more when the transport system of Singapore is declining in it’s service? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201739732149858 What exactly did people voted for during the previous election? Why are we paying million dollars to a transport minister that make the lives of Singaporeans miserable?

There was this girl who wanted to be just like any other girls out there. She watches what famous people do to sing and dance she hope to. She writes down her thoughts and feelings. The people she likes has full name written down while the rest has code so she could spoke. She wanted to study but her government prevented her from being educated. So she self-taught she self-learnt but she can still express herself despite her many grammatical errors. Just her teenage years would tell stories that many will never experience. A little girl who lives in a small house with life experiences that many are unable to survive. She often quote others and was accused for not giving credits. Her voice has to go through so much scrutiny. With barely enough food for her to go during puberty resulted in her diminutive size. Being discriminated because of the family she was born in to go through the stereotypes that people have against her. Is it fair for her government to be against her? ...

The Minister for Communications and Information and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs said that we should read the “right” things. As a Singaporean who listens to what 60% of the Singaporeans voted for, I decided to break away from the online alternative media and went to National Library Board at 100 Victoria Street. Knowledge, it is precious. I only began to realise the sacredness of it when I went on a quest to seek out the confined grail. It was a perilous trip. Sneaking past the ever watchful eyes of the undead sentry who never sleeps, the one they call librarians. I made my way through the winding bends of security gates showing my bags before anything else could happen and as I descended into the abyss seeking the truth - to my horror I found that the archives of much Singapore’s history like the Chinese sec 4 students' strike and two operations are like blowing in the wind… Wasn’t this here since last year? Didn’t they said it will be done by now? Yet when I ...

From first world Switzerland to third world India… From haze in Nov 2013 to transportation in Dec 2013 to riot in Jan 2014… Are Singaporeans really xenophobic? Is to possible for born Singaporeans to unite with new citizens? Is it true that all civil servants will continue voting for the incumbent? What makes you think current or former civil servants don’t have any conscience? Ultimately, we’re all Singaporeans who hold pink identity cards… Divided we fall, united we stand :)
