Spoken like a true person of entitlement. For one could neve rbelieve corruption could have existed within one's government. You see Mr. Lee, if you came to the West with that kind of smugness, the people would toss you and your party out, sound economics or not. No court would save you here.

I always enjoyed going to Changi Airport, because it was a quiet, peaceful and calm space.
But a recent visit to Terminal 3 has shattered this mental image, and I found myself not enjoying the trip at all. It was just like yet another Singapore shopping mall.
I guess I should have turned left towards Terminal 1 and 2 when I got off from the MRT train, but I didn't, and now I am afraid of going there again. I guess I'll have to find another place in Singapore where I can find peace and calm.
Or I should just stay home. :-)

I look forward to when park connectors truly connect, even if it means underground tunnels or wheelchair-friendly bridges, as this will help the environment, our health, traffic and economy in the long run.

The rest of the world outside Singaproe could watch and smile wryly. Those in Singapore could continue to participate in the demonization of Fools. Or they could continue to sigh, with or without resignation. Bitterness could continue to grow and continue to be repressed.

However hard he tried to portray the battle in his blog as one between insurer and policyholder over changes in bonus payouts, somehow his previous role in the organisation became the news.
