It is an open secret among Singaporeans that life has been getting tougher for them in the last few years.

After being embarrassed publicly by the Sear Hock Rong and Eric How sagas, the YPAP has decided to close down two Facebook pages &#8211; YP Network and YP Community to &#8220;consolidate its online presence in a bid for better control over its new media message.&#8221;

Singapore may be one of the richest nations in the world with the highest paid ministers and deep enough pockets to lose billions of dollars of national reserves in failed overseas investments, but yet its citizens enjoy few social welfare benefits from the cash-flushed state.

THERE were no big headlines, no drumroll. Yet the announcements from the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) during last week&#8217;s Budget debate signalled a subtle but significant shift in how Singapore will care for the needy.
The social safety net is being extended, slowly but surely. This year, [...]]]></description>

In a lengthy commentary titled “Gently, gently does it with political opponents” published in the Straits Times on 5 March 2010, PAP spin doctor and apologist Chua Mui Hoong tried desperately hard to portray PAP MPs as “gentlemen” to salvage their already embattled image in the eyes of the public, especially the younger generation.
