Why Wisma banning construction workers from using toilet shows our ugly Singaporean hearts
Singapore is known to be plenty of things – we are a nation of kiasu individuals who have a crazy passion for food and shopping. This might be just my own stereotypical opinion, you can have you own. Whatever it is, I love my country. The one huge issue I have with the culture is the whole…

9 Reasons Why City Harvest Church Was the Devil To Me
I’ll probably receive some flak from City Harvest people – but through my years I’ve learnt that all they know is to spout out loud their blinded ‘opinions’. People: They’re not opinions if you were brainwashed into it; that just makes it an influence over a weak mind. I dare say this. Why? Because I was…

Did Singaporeans Overreact Over The Massive MRT Breakdown?
While overseas, I received news on a massive MRT breakdown. How massive? Well, considering that it affected both of Singapore’s main train lines – I’d say it was really bad. For those who aren’t familiar; Singapore’s MRT network rooted from our North-South (red) Line and East-West (green) Line. Being so, it is logical that plenty of Singaporean…
