Not for love of money, but of Humanity. "Greater is he who works for the good of all, then he who works for the good of himself only" ~ Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"- (NIV). I live in Singapore where the Emperor must not be disturbed.

True religion is putting one's faith in sensible ideals/ things (/ right God :).).

I know what you are charging TS with. But I have other issues with what TS has posted, which are contained in my post. What I don't understand is why you don't seem to allow other people to post their own views if they differ from yours.
I do not agree that TS is making the mistaken premise of 'association fallacy' so why would I wish to charge him with something you've already charged him with especially when I do not share your point of view?

Political allegiance should never be factor in the provision of legal aid to needy Singaporeans.

I read with deep concern an article 'Subhas Anandan to offer free legal aid to Hougang residents if Desmond Choo is elected' [TemasekTimes, 11May2012]: "Prominent criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan has joined in the fray in Hougang by promising to set up a legal bureau at Hougang Community Club to offer free legal aid to Hougang residents if PAP candidate Desmond Choo wins the by-election on 26 May!"

Higher, harmonized property taxes with asset re-distribution: the key to sustained national progress and cohesion.

... because rich in Singapore shouldn't luxuriate at the expense of the poor.

On 03May2012, a Singaporean offered to sell his 12000 sqft(built-in), 20000 sqft / (land) bungalow for $108Million 'S$108m for a Sentosa Cove home' [TODAY, 09May2012].

Is the FED USA's national mafia/ communist/ ponzi scheme?

The following is what some participants in HWZ forums said:


Orig thread: 'Interest rate' solution to inflation- a case of mere optical illusion?

The Fed can control both money supply and interest rates. Becuase they are the bond buyer of last resort if there is no buyer. ...
The only thing that the Fed cannot control is inflation.

'Interest rate' solution to property price inflation- an illusion/ systematic deception?

Firstly, the general definition of inflation is "The rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling." [source: investopedia].

Singapore is understood to be using currency exchange (a strengthening Sing dollar) as its main means to combat inflation. ('Singdollar tipped to rise further' [ST,12Apr2012]

In his letter to the Straits Times: 'Use interest rates to control inflation' [ST, 14Apr2012], Mr Yeo Chee Kean mentioned: "However, over the last 10 years, .. inflation is becoming more of a result of a mismatch in domestic supply and demand. This is better addressed with managing interest rates than exchange rates."
