this innocent looking car with a cisco label at the side is frequently seen in pasir ris area booking cars for illegal parking.

8.30am on CTE this morning in bumper to bumper trafffic. I was 2 cars behind u and saw all you did. 1. U cut into lane 3 from AMK ave 1 sliproad, like as if u dont see any cars around. The can behind u jammed brake and I who was behind the cab almost hit the cab s rear bumper. 2. A car signalled and wanted to come into your lane seeing a gap between the car infront of u and yr car. You horned n drove up to close the gap n didnt want to let him in, eventhough I see his car already partly in yr lane. 3. You changed lane to 2 and then 1 in the same fashion as #1. For god s sake, insurance premium these days are high enough. Morons like u are the ones who causes us to pay higher premiums. I am not stereotyping Hondas, in fact I love the S2000 myself. But this guy (in glasses who looks like a teacher - saw his fark face when I drove by later) and the chick with him should be banned from our roads. For this one, I think it should warrant his car number being shown so that none of you shld go near him. Someone maybe highlight it on Honda forum as well. White Honda S2000 SJS 2003 # ( I think). And my 2010 greetings to you is none other than "F@%$ you".

Saw this White Honda Civic zipping in and out of lanes when I was at BKE going into KJE towards Jurong. Must be rushing to pang sai so I simply shrugged it off when he was ahead of me, zig-zagging here and there.. Suddenly when I was cruising near CCK exit, saw this civic struck behind another car ( make unknown ) for a few seconds.. The car was going at perhaps 100km/hour. Yes. Road hogging. I got no problems with it as I was in middle lane. Suddenly this white civic chut pattern.. sped in front of the car in lane 1.. Jammed brake to 50km/hour. Then when the car behind knew that he was road hogging, switched to 2nd lane which was my lane and I was already in front watching the show unveil.. The white civic idiot still not happy, switched back to middle lane to jam brake on the car who is not finding trouble. I was already way in front as I kept my speed to 110km/hour.. then when he finished his s--t, he sped and overtook me and disappeared into one of the Jurong Exit.. Anyone knows where he stays exactly? I hope to pay him a visit one of these days to check out his nice car. Please pm me. I tried searching for his car details but seem that this car did not exist. Cant be leh.

If you wondering, YESSSSSSS I was horning at you at the junction of Thomson Road and Moulmein Road and I was in the car behind yours. You have lots and lots of space in front of you and if you could move your car a little forward, I will definitely move forward and the car behind would be able to turn left into the slip road. Of course you have every right to stay at where you are and not move the fat a_se of yours but a nice considerate gesture in the morning make a good start to the day for everyone. To me, you are just a bad inconsiderate driver on the road. Just ranting .... on a Thursday morning .....

Bus grinds to a halt after fight over phone call By Tham Yuen-C FOR about 20 minutes on Tuesday evening, an in-service SBS Transit bus service 14 stayed put in Mountbatten Road with its doors locked. The cause: an onboard squabble between two passengers that led to one of them allegedly body-slamming the other. The bus driver was following instructions from his head office to pull the double-decker over and keep everyone on board until police investigations were complete. It all started when Ms Rachel Lim, 33, riding on the upper deck of the bus on her way home, called her daughter at 7.55pm to say she would be late because traffic was crawling that wet day. She told The Straits Times she was still on the phone when a Caucasian man, seated with a woman across the aisle from her, tapped her on the shoulder and told her to 'get lost' if she was going to be 'noisy'. She said he also used an expletive and called her a 'slut' more than once. She got off the phone and said she would report him for using vulgarities. She said: 'He asked me to go ahead and do it, so I went downstairs to tell the bus driver.' The driver stopped the bus, and she called the police. After a while, the man came downstairs, demanding to know why the bus had stopped. He became agitated when he realised she had acted on his goading. She said: 'He pressed the bell non-stop, even after he was told that the bus driver could not open the doors.' The man then allegedly tried to prise the doors open. Seeing this, Ms Lim threw herself against the door, but the enraged man slammed himself against her, pinning her to the side of the bus and denting her spectacles. The drama played out in front of about 10 passengers in the lower deck of the bus, said Ms Lim. When the police arrived, both parties gave statements. The man, who is not a tourist, could not be reached for comment. A police spokesman confirmed the incident on Wednesday, saying both parties were advised on their legal recourse. Ms Lim, who intends to press charges, said: 'We need to send a signal that we will not tolerate bullying on the bus.'

hey boy, i seen u drive dangerously a lot of time exiting from pie to paya lebar, and today u made me performed the hardest emergency brake of my life. u filter all the way to the left without signal, and your car back door is already beside me, and you can still filter left without signalling. you made me brake till my moon cake fly from my passanger seats, and all the moon cake is ruined now. now my car smell of durian and if i am not in a rush i would have find u for car washing fee. i am the silver mini that had horn you and high beam you after you cut my lane at 9.55 am, at the exit of of pie heading towards paya lebar.

Few things come to mind when I see this scene. 1. They are not all terrorist 2. They can be grateful to people who helped them/their country. Fewer people are like that these days as gratitude is a rarer quality. 3. They can gather to celebrate. Such gathering would not be permissible here? Well sometimes even wearing same political t-shirt can get you into trouble. 4. It is amazing America can accept such diversity in culture & race into their country and I noticed after sometime the younger migrants becomes socially & culturally integrated. It is something that makes America great and imbedded in it's Constitution.

new owner of a used 08" IS250 that comes with white/near white interior leather. drove the car for a couple of weeks, and can't help but notice some minor darker spots/patches/lines here and there on the leather. does anyone have any experience to share on how to maintain these white leather? thanks a bunch.

My whitie suffers from exhaust stains. The body kit around the exhaust has turned grey and soap cannot remove it. Its been only a month since it got resprayed. Can some fellow whities please advise me?

who was driving along Grange road at around 11am today. if you wish to have a new spray of white paint + insurance increase, i could have fulfill your wish. you cut from lane 1 all the way to turn left when I m already in the left turn filter lane. if it was a taxi or truck driver, they would be very happy to fulfill your wish. at tat moment, i was VERY tempted to side swipe you since I have the right of way n video cam onboard. you are lucky that i was in a good mood. so just a word of caution, luck doesnt always work on your side.

Bros still remember this category of NSFs back then? This classification was supposed to be scrapped by now. My time there was this coy during BMT that seemed to be very well-treated. Whenever we went training they were always the last few to move out but whenever we came back exhausted and muddy from training, these guys were already cleaning their rifles in the coy line and laughing and joking with one another. Our DIs later told us they were White Horse (WH) coy but did not elaborate. Only later then we realized what WH means... Any bros got any stories to share?

Anyone at this event witness this?

What are the hip or popular English (or so-called 'Christian' names) for gen X, Y, Z nowadays?? no more WeiLiam, Lorbut, Leechurch, etc... or Mary, Jane, etc?? what are the common ones nowadays? More interestingly are those adopted by HongKongers, eg Apple, etc etc, all quite weird to me actually.......... btw, Winnie (more normal one) seem still very common in HK...

Hi bro, Any one-stop shop that sell and install white headlight (that is LTA compliance) and daylight? Thanks in advance.

While walking down the street one day, an MP is tragically hit by a truck and dies. The MP's soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter . "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the MP. St. Peter says, "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity." "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the MP. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules", replies St.Peter. And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises... The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven," St Peter says. So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and the 24 hours in heaven passes by and St Peter returns. "Well, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now which will you choose for your eternity?" St Peter asks. The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers, "Well, I never would have thought it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be happier and better off .. in hell." So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The Devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I don't understand," stammers the MP. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning.. Today .. you have voted."

hey guys am driving a Aveo Sedan,wanna change my headlight n fog light to those white ligths so as to travel in malaysia road.Any idea where to fix n any place which is good workmanship n cheap?thnx

Here is a moving article(not from me) from an unknown source: When I was young, I was so proud that I had a government that was indeed one of the world's best, if not, THE BEST. Although LKY was (and still is) portrayed as a fearsome, if ruthless leader, he was much respected. When he appeared as our PM on the world stage, my heart never failed to swell with pride because it was obvious that he was also someone other world leaders respected. But not now. The problem is, you are victims of your own success. And the world has changed, yet you remain stuck in the 1960s. This is why your once-fantastic branding is being eroded, why I find it hard to support you like before. 1) You were too successful First, there was LKY and he was a great leader. He was like a god and still being treated like one. He "miraculously" transformed a small, poor, resource-less little island into a country that now has one of the highest GDPs in the wor ld, where other countries are now trying to learn from. No one can take that achievement away from the first PAP team and indeed, I would guess that this is also the main reason why many in the older generation are still your loyal fans. I may not agree to all the strategies you've used then (and some were downright questionable) but I can't deny that you had some very good reasons to do so. But unfortunately, when you've set the standard of governance so high, every other subsequent PAP team that comes along can only look worse and worse. And it doesn't help that you constantly try too hard to be perfect. The higher the bar is set, the more difficult it is for the PAP teams that come after to match it. In a way, I think LKY only does his own te am a great disservice by publishing so many personal memoirs, recounting again and again how good he was. Because the more god-like he is, the more voters like me will wonder, how can we ever have another "god" like him to lead us? An d the answers you propose will always be a disappointment. Because, against a god, everyone will look like a mere mortal. Didn't anyone tell you that you can't replicate a god using your same old cookie-cutter?!! Great leaders are first of all rebels, don't you know (and LKY was one too!)? 2) You were too smart for your own good No one can or has been able to rival you in terms of your (mostly) rational and well-thought through, sound policies. Especially in terms of our economic policies. You're so darn good with your cost-benefit analyses, your economic forecasts, your financial planning. Every policy you rolled out is justified using very rational arguments that the opposition and the public find hard to counter argue. You are top-notch, because you have a very brainy team, all with impeccable qualifications from world renowned universities. Unfortunately, this made you assume that only you have the brains and everyone else is just an idiot who needs only to listen and obey. The game of politics cannot be played by cold logic alone. And it certainly can't be won by treating your voters as morons. An example of this would be the issue of bringing in the IRs. Yes, your cold, rational argument makes very good economic reasons for having casinos in Singapore . No one can argue against that. But not everything can or should be measured by dollars and cents or by the amount of GDP it will generate for Sg. We're no longer the generation in the 1960s that constantly had to worry about money or material matters. We've moved up the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. In fact, most Singaporeans work ridiculously long hours, are constantly too stressed to even go on dates or have sex (hence the low marriage and fertility rate) that we're all very very disillusioned with the constant drive for wealth. Increasingly, we want to slow down, have time to smell the flowers and be with our families. And having casinos th at will bring in more crime (organised ones too), encourage more addictive behaviour and increase broken families will not sit well with a population who now values quality of li fe rather than personal wealth. Yet, you bull-dosed these concerns and won yet again with your cold, rational, economic arguments because there wasn't enough opposition in the parliament to stop you. While people may buy into the cold logic of your policies now, your lack of empathy and human touch are slowly alienating voters. The breaking point may not be now, but you can be sure that the disconnection is getting wider by the day. It's a time-bomb that will go off at some point. 3) You forgot evolutionary laws, history and your own past While you're very brainy, you're mostly all technocrats and specialists. You've scorned the social sciences and the humanities, you think these are only for sissy people whose A Levels don't qualify them for special ist degrees. Yet, if you had been more well-informed in these areas, you might have learnt some valuable lessons about power. History, for example, is the best teacher that could have taught you that power never ever ever ever lasts forever. Indeed, the more you try to hang on to it, the more it will invite adversity. History would also have taught you that every regime was once in opposition. As Marx could have told you, the history of mankind is all about class (or power) struggles. You may be in power now, but one day you'll be overthrown. However, you have hope of leaving your great legacy behind if you take a leaf from the pages of human evolution, which would have taught you that it's human diversity that has helped the human race to overcome the odds, to sur vive this long. But instead of embracing diversity, you tried your hardest to kill off any form of alternative views, whether these come from within your party or externally. You only wanted to hear your own voice or voices that are exactly the same as yours. This inbreeding will eventually be your demise. Most of all, you forgot your own roots, where you were once an opposition party too. You focused so much on hanging on to your power, you forgot your original vision, you forgot your voters and you forgot why you are governing Singapore . 4) Power breeds fear and paranoia In the beginning, you used power in order to stabilise the political situation so that you can give the masses homes, food, clean water and their livelihoods. That seemed a justifiable use of power even though it involved some ruthless and ugly tactics. But over the years, you started to crave power for itself. Again, you forgot the story of Macbeth (see, I told you the humanities are important!!) - where an originally good leader was so obsessed with his new power that he saw everything as a threat towards it. He became so paranoid that he even killed his best friend whom he tho ught was after his throne. He only heard what he wanted to hear from dubious soothsayers (which turned out to be half-truths). Needless to say, Macbeth eventually had a tragic end. Like Macbeth, you've become so obsessed with winning overwhelmingly in every GE that you use every weapon you have, every trick up your sleeves to clobber the opposition to smithereens. Smear campaigns, legal suits, changin g electoral boundaries, raising the cost of candidature, forming GRCs, threatening the electorate with upgrading...it's like watching the Brazilian football team beat the Singapore team by 82-2, except in football the rules are fairer and the referee neutral. Why do you need to resort to such gangster-like ways? You could have won overwhelmingly anyway with all the talent you have! I'm not sure how long this bullying strategy can go on but sooner or later you'll become the thug that the electorate can't wait to get rid of. 5) Power corrupts absolutely Power is not power without money. And in this aspect you've outdone yourselves by pegging your salaries to the private sector. You're the highest paid politicians in the world and your income is >40 times that of the median income of the general population (only less than Kenya ). Of course, you justify it with yet another one of your cold, rational arguments of attracting and retaining the best talents in the government. But seriously, how can you compare public sector salaries to the private sector? In fact, many of your candidates have never worked in the private sector before and one wonders if they'll survive even for a day in a private company. Yet, they are paid private sector salaries, paid not from profits but from taxpayers' money. And though I fully agree that politicians must be paid their worth, don't you think getting 40x the median income is crossing into the lines of corruption? Ok, even if all our Ministers and PM are worth every cent of their $4 m annual sa lary, it also means that they have to perform much much much better than any other government in the world. Again, you have set the standards and expectations so high, you only have yourselves to blame when you cannot meet those expectations from the ground. And the more you fail to meet their expectations, the more the electorate will think you're not worth your astronomical salaries. It's a vicious cycle that you've started and it's going to be very hard to stop now. You talk about the so-called "crutch-mentality" of the poor, yet this same mentality can be applied on yourselves. When you've used money as the main means to attract people into your party, you've basically recruited people who value money above serving the country in the people's interest. These politicians who are in it for the money will not have the incentive to think independently or to represent the people's interests because they've got millions to lose if they don't toe party l ines. Because they're paid millions, what incentives do they have to empathize with someone struggling with 2 jobs to make ends meet? Very soon, the voters will feel that you're just a bunch of corrupt officials, no different from those in many 3rd-world countries. The way I see it, you only have yourselves to blame for this situation you're in. The only way you can somehow reverse these trends is to learn from Madonna (see, you never thought popular culture could teach you anything right?). She keeps herself relevant not by sticking to the same old formula again and again. That would have killed her career long ago as it did to countless of other pop stars. Rather, she keeps re-inventing herself and her image to keep them relevant to the current times. And she pushes the boundaries. She's always ahead of her time and like a true leader, she sets the trends not follow them. She's a rebel. Yet, all you have done is to remain exactly the same as you were in 1960s. The electorate is increasingly tired of your same old scare tactics using HDB upgrading as a stick, tired of you saying that Singapore will go to ruins if the opposition wins, tired of you always using smear campaigns against opposition candidates, tired of your arrogance and la ck of empathy, tired of you giving out inconsequential hongbaos before elections only to increase your own salaries by millions after. You keep encouraging us to think out-of-the-box, yet you're perpetually stuck in the same adversarial mindset towards the opposition. If you can only start to think of your relationship with the opposition as a mutual symbiosis - you share a portion of power with them in return for your longevity and credibility. Power is always temporary, but your legacy needn't be. Just look at the current Conservative Party of UK which traces its roots back to the Tory Party in 1678. Do you think they could have survived this long without any meaningful opposition, no d efeats, no radical internal reforms? Are you so politically shortsighted that you can only see your future in the next 10, 20 or 50 years? C'mon, think further!! And didn't anyone tell you that in other to be the best, you need to have competition? Otherwise, how can the electorate be sure that you're indeed the best, if they can't compare you to any other party? I'm no military strategist, but I do think that sometimes, you need to lose some battles first in order to win bigger battles later. It will not be a bad thing for you to lose a few GRCs in this GE. In fact, if I were you, I will be celebrating. Because nothing gets people going like failure. Rather lose some small battles now than to wait for the big bomb to explode later. By then, not only will you disappear into the dust heap of history, so too will Singapore . That will be your ultimate betrayal to this country that you so painstakingly and successfully created out of a little red dot on the map
