THE TEMASEK REVIEW

By Abdul Malik For a start, let me congratulate our young Singaporean athletes and volunteers who have done us proud. You have put in many hours of training and I hope that you will continue to do Singapore proud in future sporting competitions. I am proud of every one of you, and to call you my fellow countrymen. To Dr... 

As the Olympic Flame at the Floating Platform slowly extinguishes, it symbolises the end of the ‘money burning’ process that Singaporeans witness in front of their television screen everyday since August 14, 2010. Whilst there were many calls by various platforms on the success of the YOG, there were a comparable... 

I was reading the article by Takumi ( So you say Temasek Review is unfair and biased? ) and (Are you guys secretly approved by the PAP?) by Benjamin, the replies of which prompted me to write this fair and unbiased short opinion piece on Temasek Review. According to Alexa the Web Information Company, Temasek Review... 

Pity our young and eligible Singaporeans. They just can’t do something on their own and now I am beginning to think that they have lost the plot in life. From childhood to adulthood they are guided by parents, by teachers, by government. Now, having reached the nubile stage of life, they need one more nudge to overcome... 

By Aloysius Sim, a Youth Village volunteer I am a volunteer for the youth Olympic village in NTU whom, initially, was very intrigued and impressed with this “global” event that is to be held in Singapore, but is now utterly disappointed . First off, my Institute “**ATEC” volunteered almost everyone within the institute... 

I am extremely appalled that for two consecutive days, news of a 12 year-old jogging 15km with the Olympic torch made the front pages of the Straits Times. Not that I have anything against the innocent boy or his passion for the YOG, matter of fact I commend him of his determination in following the trail of the torch relay. If... 

It was reported on the 6 Aug 2010 （Straits Times）that the mind boggling asset appreciation in the PM’s ward has won the ‘profound’ gratitude of many flat-dwellers. However, such ‘profound’ gratitude may be misplaced. If the flat-dweller is merely sitting on his or her mind-boggling paper... 

Singapore’s National Day on Monday has given the islanders an extended weekend and so many of them have poured into Johor Baru that many main roads are experiencing massive traffic jams, according to the Star. The traffic congestion, that began at about 10am, has worsened and was expected to go on well after midnight,... 

If any of you went to Primary School in the 90s in Singapore, you would have like myself spent every National Day singing the many NDP songs that were written at that time. Tunes like “Count on me Singapore” and “Stand up for Singapore” would have rung repeatedly in your ears during that eventful... 

As a quitter for 8 years now, I hardly keep up with news from the home much. However I was back recently for 3 weeks and I was surprised by the number of floods, in July! Now, I remember the floods when I was a kid, but that was over 20 years ago, and far as I can remember, there was no major floods in the years before...
