It never fails to amaze me how ridiculous and nonsensical some Singaporeans are. Everything under the sun can be stomped!


That's not the best part. You should try reading the comments. They're almost always extremely critical and cynical, sometimes bordering on being extremely rude.

Well done SPH!

Straits Times: Temasek still outperforms.
Alvin Foo

SINGAPORE investment agency Temasek Holdings may have taken a hit recently on some of its high-profile banking investments, but over the longer term it has outperformed key global benchmarks. Figures obtained by The Straits Times show that over a 10 year period to March this year, Temasek outgunned several closely-watched equity indexes. It also beat other notable long-term investors such as Berkshire Hathaway, a top US investment company headed by billionaire Warren Buffet.

Temasek's main investments are in stocks, with the bulk of its assets in Singapore and Asia, so these indexes are regarded as a useful gauge of its performance. Temasek's returns were also better than that of long-term investors Swedish investment firm Investor AB, which delivered 3.7 per cent, and Berkshire Hathaway, which yielded 0.7 per cent.

After Temasek makes enormous losses the straits times is ever willing to mention their LONG-TERM ACHIEVEMENTS.

I can list some of them too. Shin Corp, Merril Lynch, Barclays and Australian childcare firm ABC. (I mean, who in their right mind invests in childcare??)

I rest my case.
Temasek beats Buffet.

4 possibilities.

-Readers are dumb
-ST always gets pathetic info or loves publishing them
-Temasek releases false annual reports
-Buffet releases false annual reports and actually runs a ponzi scheme

I refer to some who clearly think extremely highly of themselves such that they mock all those who surround them.

Read: "S'pore grads are stupid, poorly-educated buffoons, says Harvard 'snob'"

Personally I've encountered a few such creatures thus far. They manifest in all forms and professions. Most notably, for my case, doctors.

Especially this particular one who think all trainees, medics and patients are idiots trying to suck his life away.

Well apparently and unfortunately they believe that no one can match their intelligence and treat each passing soul as lesser mortals.

Some of them attend culinary lessons in France and return thinking that its a fantastic idea to publish their experiences on Straits Times. Like the world is interested to know how they finished last in their cooking class.

To them, who cares if the peasants wait 30 minutes for buses?



I say, if they're so damn good, go find a cure for cancer/aids. Go get a Nobel prize.

Then we talk.

Its the classic things fellow forumers do that makes it so appealing. They never fail to make me LOL.

Reading it makes newspaper reading redundant.

Backstreet’s back for F1

IT DID not take much to convince top-selling American boy-band group Backstreet Boys (picture) to perform again in Singapore.

When they heard that their gig would be held at the Padang during the SingTel Singapore Grand Prix night race, they gave a resounding yes.

The best-selling boy band - with record sales of over 100 million records - and multi-Grammy Award winner Chaka Khan were two of the entertainment acts that race organisers revealed yesterday as part of the entertainment package for the event from Sept 25 to Sept 27.

“Both the Backstreet Boys and Chaka Khan normally perform at concerts ... they see a sexy element to the night race and reckon they will have a blast,” said Singapore GP director of operations Sarah Martin.

The third big name will be released next month but the group will appeal to all age groups, said Ms Martin. Among other events to be announced then will be two of the world’s top 10 DJs.


~F1 here we come!

I read something a convert wrote..

and i hahaha-ed... sorry for wall of text.. i refer to convert the other way around..

The change was a culmination of things that I could no longer ignore. Faith is belief in the unseen and unprovable, but still requires a foundation for that faith. With the countless religions of the world, I began to question why the god of the Bible is more believable than all other gods worshiped on earth. With the mountain of evidence staring me in the face, my faith began to die.

Last fall, I finally moved past guilt and admitted to myself that I no longer believe in Jesus or the god of the Bible. Surprisingly it was a relief. Not because I wanted to run wild and sin freely, but because I no longer felt the weight a Christian carries. The weight of guilt, unworthiness and fear of god’s judgement. I continue to spend my days striving to be a good husband, father and son. I help others in need around me as often as I can. The big difference is I do these things today because it brings me joy, not because I believe it brings an imaginary god joy.

For those wondering, here is a condensed “Top 20 List” of the things that led to my rejection of Christianity.

1. God is wrathful, jealous, hateful, and kills nations of people like it is a bodily function. He is certainly not just or “holy” in nature.

2. The act of throwing people into infinite torture and punishment for not believing a Jewish guy from 2,000 years ago was God’s son, or unknowingly worshiping the wrong god, is extremely cruel and sadistic

3. The statements, “God works in mysterious ways,” or “It will all make sense in heaven,” are little more than irrational cop outs. This God allows horrible atrocities to be committed against innocent men, women and children every day.

4. Bloody animal and human sacrifices are illogical demands by a divine god as payment for petty wrong doings. These actions are no different than the rituals of archaic pagan religions. Not to mention the bizarre ritual of symbolically drinking human blood and eating human flesh.

5. If God loves us and wants us to know and believe in him, why be so completely invisible? What is the purpose of being so illusive to those who believe and worship him?

6. God never manifests himself or performs miracles as he regularly did for the Israelites in Old Testament stories.

7. Prayers are never answered. Certainly not in the way Jesus described. Prayer has absolutely no affect on the world around us.

8. Jesus did not fulfill major Old Testament prophesies or even fulfill his own promises and predictions.

9. The authors of much of the Bible are unknown. And of these unknown authors, the men who wrote the gospels likely never even met Jesus considering they were written 40-70 years after his death. A far cry from reliable testimony.

10. The Bible is repeatedly contradictory with itself, reality, and the laws of morality. Couldn’t God inspire a less poorly written book?

11. The Bible is open to interpretation. Everyone interprets it in the way that suits them best or serves their purposes.

12. Throughout history, Christians have justified horrific actions by the Bible and its teaching.

13. The Bible promotes hate and persecution against women, homosexuals and those who worship other gods or no god at all.

14. According to the Bible, nearly 70% percent of the people in the world will burn in hell because they don’t believe Jesus was the son of God.

15. The only reason I was a Christian was because I was indoctrinated into the religion as a child as a result of the culture and region of the world in which I was born.

16. Christianity has no more rational or factual foundation than any other religion on earth that I openly reject.

17. The Christian church is disjointed and can’t even agree with one another.

18. Christians are not at all ethically or morally different from non-Christians.

19. Today, powerful church leaders steal, lie and molest young children. The church repeatedly attempts to cover up these atrocities, only to reluctantly apologize as a last resort.

20. It is absolutely irrational to continue to believe archaic teaching with the amount of knowledge we’ve gained through science and technology. The Bible reads like a book of primitive folklore, not divinely inspired insight into our true reason for existence."
