Singapore Government needs better HR management
2008-06-09 23:48:00 Hey, I don’t put up such a bold title if I haven’t had concrete evidence alright? I was just having coffee when one of the news report in Channel NewsAsia almost choked me to death. After catching my breath, I am now laughing as I typed this post. If you’re curious, it’s here that reported ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Singapore Government needs better HR management", url: "http://www.mr-endoh.com/singapore/singap ore-government-needs-better-hr-management /" }); More About: Management
Blog Ground Rules
2008-06-09 20:42:00 Now that I have finally discussed the problems this blog is facing with friends, both offline and online, 6 out of 7 agreed that it’s time for me to set some ground rules for my blog. I have always tried to stir off any official rules for readers in my blog, because rules are usually ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Blog Ground Rules ", url: "http://www.mr-endoh.com/blogosphere/blog -ground-rules/" }); More About: Blogosphere
Do you remember Pulau Merlimau?
2008-06-09 01:36:00 Until today, the Singapore Refinery Company fire on Pulau Merlimau in 1988 is Singapore’s longest fire ever documented. It lasted for a whopping 4 days and chilled many spines of Singaporeans. It seemed weird to be talking about this fire, I know. It was the fire that destroyed a Woodlands factory a few days ago ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Do you remember Pulau Merlimau?", url: "http://www.mr-endoh.com/singapore/do-you -remember-pulau-merlimau/" });
Will the real psychopath please stand up?
2008-06-08 00:46:00 It was like a Mediacorp prime-time drama when Chee Soon Juan was recently hurled with the insult of “near psychopath” by a much respected political figure, Lee Kuan Yew. Sure, it raised the eyebrows of some while others found it hilarious for such insults to be permissible in the Court of Law.

[VIDEO] David Icke on Global Conspiracy (9/11 and 7/7)
2008-06-06 21:32:00 When Jo first introduced me to David Icke’s conspiracy talks, I was totally blown away by the points raised. Moreover, she and I are both against the whole idea of monopolization. I can’t say what’s right or what’s wrong specifically, it’s really up to you to determine what to believe and what not to.

How can Malaysia improve?
2008-06-05 13:39:00 Singaporeans are still generally calm, while recent fuel price hikes fumed our Malaysia n friends. It was anticipated because Malaysia had once again, chosen to point fingers at her neighbours instead of examining what has gone wrong with their governance. It is always hard for the Governments to take a step back and say, “We are ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "How can Malaysia improve?", url: "http://www.mr-endoh.com/current-affairs/ how-can-malaysia-improve/" }); More About: Improve
Can Malaysia walk the talk?
2008-06-05 01:30:00 If there’s anybody who can make a mockery out of Malaysia it can only be her ministers, following reports that Malaysia will continue to push for her claim on Pedra Branca. It just showed precisely why Singapore has always been wary of our “good neighbour”. Some of us saw it coming, did you?

Step aside McCain? Obama?s here!
2008-06-04 14:36:00 If only Singapore politicians can learn to speak, off the head and from the heart without muttering a simple sentence, I think they will definitely gain a little more respect.

[VIDEO] 300 & Hero (??) painful similarities
2008-06-03 21:39:00 I was viewing the documentary on the rise of China’s film industry when this suddenly came banging in my head. It wasn’t mentioned in the documentary of course, but the moment Hero was used as a case study, it hit me really hard and got me down on editing some quick scenes from the DVD.

The Many Faces of National Service - Part 2
2008-06-02 16:55:00 I have since covered the devils in National Service , but SAF is not entirely bad too. No doubt 80% of the times we complained about serving NS as a waste of our times, deep inside each and everyone of us we know Singapore cannot survive without us.

Advertlets dropped
2008-06-02 09:28:00 Impromptu post I know. I’m afraid the angels of National Service will have to wait for the next post. Save the best for the last, isn’t it?

Junta criticizes lack of humanitarian spirit
2008-05-31 09:08:00 I think the World has been right in being pessimistic, and indeed Myanmar has turned a full 180o in criticism of aid countries barely after a week. Perhaps, it was a show specially performed for United Nations Secretary General - Mr Ban Ki-moon. They ran a similar show afterall, when “organized relief camps” were being ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Junta criticizes lack of humanitarian spirit", url: "http://www.mr-endoh.com/current-affairs/ junta-criticizes-lack-of-humanitarian-spi rit/" }); More About: Spirit , Humanitarian , Lack

Singaporeans are foreign smugglers, so says Yakcop
2008-05-29 15:29:00 I have never once swear in my blog, but this time to Malaysia’s Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcop - DAMN YOU!

The perfect event this weekend - IMD 2008

The controversy behind bloggers
2008-05-29 08:45:00 Some thoughts arose after reading Krisandro’s post, and I went in search of the big “hoo haa” he indicated in his post. It was disappointing, I found none.

2008-05-28 13:18:00 It’s always entertaining to read about what Dr. Mahathir says about Singapore .

Baby placed on Ebay auction
2008-05-26 14:41:00 I was literally shocked to read such a piece of news, in which a 7-month-old baby was put up on Ebay auction. I am not going to parrot the words in the news report though.

Malaysian?s unhappiness over ICJ?s Pedra Branca verdict

Is protesting still a viable option?
2008-05-25 05:02:00 When I said “protest”, I actually meant physical planting of an individual or a group of like-minded people at a certain venue for the causes they are standing up for.
