  • A&W Set To Return To Singapore In 2018

    A&W Set To Return To Singapore In 2018

    So, the rumours are true! The American fast food chain that has made many of us fall in love with the root beer float, curly fries, Coney dogs and waffles will be returning to our shores in 2018.

    After leaving Singapore more than 10 years ago, A&W – which stands for “Allen and Wright” – confirmed to Yahoo Lifestyle Singapore on Tuesday (4 July) that the company is on track to expand in Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

    “We are on track to open 30 to 40 new restaurants a year between these four countries,” said A&W CEO Kevin Bazner over email, who added that A&W has already built an office in Singapore in 2016 to prepare for this expansion and is currently looking for “real estate for a flagship company restaurant in Singapore”.

  • LTA: No Collision On The Sengkang LRT Line

    LTA: No Collision On The Sengkang LRT Line

    You might have come across a The Straits Times article today about 2 LRT trains colliding on the Sengkang line last evening (3 Jul 2017).

    LTA and SBS Transit Ltd would like to clarify that the article is erroneous and misleading, as there was no collision on the Sengkang LRT system.

    The incident last evening involved a coupled two-car train which had stalled in between the Sengkang Town Centre and Renjong Stations. The two Light Rail Vehicles were travelling as one train on the system.

    The sudden stalling may have caused some passengers who were not holding onto the standing poles/grab bars to lose their balance, and may have given the wrong impression that the trailing train-car had hit the one in front. SBS Transit staff subsequently reset the fault and manually drove the coupled train to Renjong Station to detrain passengers safely.

  • Lee Hsien Loong Must Step Down, Clear His Name In Court As Private Citizen

    Lee Hsien Loong Must Step Down, Clear His Name In Court As Private Citizen

    If he truly is a leader and if he really cares about Singapore, then Lee Hsien Loong must make the ultimate sacrifice and step down as PM.

    Singapore has been dragged through the mud by the dispute. Enough is enough.

    If there was no wrongdoing on the part of the government and there was no abuse of power, then Lee Hsien Loong must do the honourable thing and resign. He can take his siblings to court as a private citizen and defend his own integrity. Keep it a family matter.

    What’s there to be afraid of? He won’t be PM for much longer.

    Who will step up? Everyone’s favourite Tharman already ruled himself out. Heng Swee Keat dropped out of the running after his stroke. Ong Ye Kung is still in his first term as MP and Minister.

    Who else is ready? And can Singaporeans accept Chan Chun Sing or Lawrence Wong as PM? It cannot get any worse than what it is now. Singapore needs to move on. The ball is in Lee Hsien Loong’s court.

    Lee Hsien Loong: I Did Not Deceive My Father

  • Goh Chok Tong: Longstanding Differences Contributed To Dispute, Not House, Money

    Goh Chok Tong: Longstanding Differences Contributed To Dispute, Not House, Money

    ESM Goh Chok Tong said that the dispute  over the Lee family home is only a fig leaf for the deep cracks within the family, He asked: “What then is the agenda of PM’s accusers? Are they whistleblowing in a noble effort to save Singapore, or waging a personal vendetta without any care for the damage done to Singapore? I have kept my ears open. From what Lee Hsien Yang and his wife are freely telling many others, it is clear that their goal is to bring Lee Hsien Loong down as PM, regardless of the huge collateral damage suffered by the Government and Singaporeans.”

    It is now no more a cynical parlour game. If the Lee siblings choose to squander the good name and legacy of Lee Kuan Yew, and tear their relationship apart, it is tragic but a private family affair. But if in the process of their self-destruction, they destroy Singapore too, that is a public affair.

    Unsubstantiated accusations have been dished out on Facebook and the media, ad nauseam. Singaporeans are getting sick and tired of all this. We cannot, and will not, allow ourselves to be manipulated as pawns.

    There must be a clear conclusion at the end of this debate. Either we clear PM over the allegation on his abuse of power or we censure him.
