  Most would have heard about the "white paper" saga. Yes, it is one of the hottest topic in the country. In a nutshell, our government is saying that we will be increasing our population to 6,900,000 people living in the little red dot. In 2006: Total Population: 4million Singaporean: 3million PR: 290,000 Non-Residents: 750,000   In 2011: Total Population: 5million Singaporean: 3.2 million (63%) PR: 541,000 (11%) Non-Residents: 1.3million (26%) Non-reisdents and PRs have increased tremendously while "real" Singaporean has diluted. And if you must know, I can personally guarantee you that out of the 200k increase in Singaporeans, more than 50% are "fake" Singaporeans. The word used may be harsh and I'd agree on that but fact remains, they are converted Singaporeans. Many still have yet any idea why the uproar. Anyway here's a preview from a local youth     hey curious. what's your view on the 6.9m population thingy  u

What's the purpose of a funeral, the great Dr Sunny Goh once said, "The dead has left, what's left, is to appease the living" It's my 3rd funeral in less than 3 months, 5th in the last 2 years, I've not attended this much funerals in my entire life. My grand-uncle, who is my grandmother's elder brother, passed. He was like a grandfather to me, often cheering me and giving a pat on my back all the time when i was a kid. A great man who had no regrets leaving this world, leaving his wife, 3 daughters and 2 grandchildren. Scene at the crematorium was beyond words, his wife, my grand-aunt, was absolutely inconsolable, cries of sadness became howls of disbelief and unwillingness to accept the loss of her most beloved man, a man who meant the whole world to her. 1st time in my life, I understood what mourning was, the shrieks of sorrow will forever be remembered. ---- So what is a funeral for? His siblings came, and so did his cousins, as I stood

I was brought up to treat female with the greater respect. Not simply because they, are physically weaker then men, but they are truly inspirational and respectable human, evidently in the power of the mother, no questions asked. Holding doors, giving up seats, giving way and being polite are basic courtesy that all men should have, towards women. At least, that WAS what I truly believed, then. Came the era where finally, women are given the opportunity and full access to the vast abundance of knowledge; Education. Education or knowledge itself, is to provide wisdom and power to each and every human being, that said, 2 major end product in this process - Wisdom & Power. ------------ Power 1a (1) : ability to act or produce an effect (2) : ability to get extra-base hits (3) : capacity for being acted upon or undergoing an effect vs 2a : possession of control, authority, or influence over others Wisdom the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled
