  • In 2015, PAP Supporters Are Still Sexist

    In 2015, PAP Supporters Are Still Sexist

    In 2015, are PAP really supporters of this standard?

    PAP fan boy page FAP (Fabrications About The PAP) posted this picture of Kevryn Lim implying that she is a sex worker. They then try to deny their claim by saying it was never explicitly stated.

    Isn’t it disgusting that in 2015 a female politician in Singapore cannot run without getting sexism thrown at her face? They have to discuss what she is wearing instead of focusing on the policies that she wants to implement. Her dress isn’t remotely revealing or immodest.

    This is a low blow and frankly quite fucked up. “she is making a statement with her attire” She is wearing a white dress that covers herself up, The dress alone does not make a statement, your statement “#guesswho standing by the road side” makes a statement. That you are a sexist pig who will desperately take any pot shots you can imagine up in your tiny sexist little brain of yours.

  • Singaporean Tower Crane Operator Terminated For Exposing Unsafe Construction Practices At Punggol HDB Site

    Singaporean Tower Crane Operator Terminated For Exposing Unsafe Construction Practices At Punggol HDB Site

    Hi Gilbert

    I’m Edward a Singaporean tower crane operator.

    My salary is only $2500 but I was terminated by my company for exposing unsafe practices at my construction site.at Punggol after started working in April this year.

    I have observed the way foreign workers built our HDB BTO in a very wrong way.

    Recently, I  read about the defective BTO issue and know that I can no longer keep quiet about this because one day I’ll stay in one of this too.

    Please advise which is the proper channel I can raise my concern to.

    Even after water was added from the cement truck they continue to add water during casting when the bucket reach the top.

    Mixing of water can only  be done in the cement plant and when it reaches the site no more water should be added to it.

    The quality of the cement must be inspected and approved by the RTO before it can be use to cast our floor, ceiling and even pillars.

    My signal men also knew I took photo of their reckless unsafe hoisting procedures and they threatened that I’m not allow to report or expose any photos taken to MOM or related authorities.

    Editor’s note: the writer’s last day was on 31st July after he was terminated for trying to expose the unsafe malpractices of the sub con Hong Dat Engineering Pte Ltd. The writer has written to MOM about the matter.

    A meeting held by eleven opposition parties yesterday evening (Aug 3) ended with party representatives saying that most issues have been resolved.

    Talks lasted for about two and a half hours. Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday.

    The meeting was conducted to negotiate where each party will field its candidates for General Elections to avoid multi-cornered fights.

    National Solidarity Party’s (NSP) acting secretary-general Hazel Poa said: “We’ve reaffirmed our commitment to avoid three-corner fights and that’s what we’re working towards on Thursday.” She added that the outcomes of today’s discussions would be kept confidential.

    SingFirst’s Fahmi Rais said in Malay that “almost all is settled”, when asked for a ballpark figure on issues that have been settled.

    The People’s Power Party (PPP) chief Goh Meng Seng said he is confident about his party members standing in Chua Chu Kang GRC, and added the “NSP and PPP are like brother parties”. Mr Goh was the former secretary General of the NSP.

    Following yesterday evening’s Opposition meeting, SingFirst’s Tan Jee Say also said most issues have been resolved, adding that “everyone goes in with the spirit of give and take”.

    People Of The Workers’ Party: Mohamed Fairoz Shariff

    Why did you join WP?

    I joined WP because of the 2001 elections. It was supposed to be my first opportunity to vote, but I couldn’t because the GRC I was living in was won by the PAP through a walkover.

    Furthermore, the WP team in Aljunied GRC had been disqualified that year.

    That was when I became politically conscious.

    I felt that there was a real need for a strong opposition that could give Singaporeans a genuine choice.

    How do you think you can contribute to that?

    I hope to encourage more like-minded Singaporeans to step forward.

    Singaporeans who want to see change should contribute in any way they can to bringing that change.
