The intention is to understand if there is a pessimism among opposition voters and not to see how many would vote opposition (which would be an impossible task in an online survey). 1 LKY’s death and the propaganda overdose following that. 3 WP’s continuing legal troubles with Town Council management.

Finding life in New Zealand. Summary of theft of my personal belongings and thereafter. October 23, 2012. Never expected such a situation.

Well, nevertheless, this was my first experience of having my belongings stolen from me while travelling. 2 One rea...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Laquo; Lee Kuan Yew contributed to racial riots. UK election results do not make PAP look democratic. Lee Kuan Yew is not Singapore’s founding father.
