or perhaps comments here http://www.tnp.sg/story/0,4136,86038,00.html

So can we mention the bastard lee kuan you?

Or the son of a bitch lee hsien long?

Or the horse face Ho chink?

I dislike bond breakers - in most cases they
have an entitlement mentality, they don't understand
what in obligation is and they don't understand the
rest of us pay fees (many far smarter than scholarship holders).

Although I dislike bond breakers, I HATE arrogant authoritarians who use
defamation lawsuits to repress free speech even more.

I'm a tax payer and I have questions to ask about A-Star which is run by Philip Yeo:

1. After spending hundreds of millions of taxpayers money. What is their track record of commercial success? ...

2. What are the measures of success for spending all that tax payer's money?

For me, A-Star has performed poorly, it has to account for the huge amount of taxpayer's money that goes into feeding them...

---------> I dont think they will take this forum too seriously. If they did, how come pple like QXP still exist and continues his limited diatribe against LKY week in week out?

Erm, we haven seen QXP for a while... is he silenced??

QXP, Please fall in here thank you.

((((This is actually a warning to all internet users - forummers and bloggers!))))

When MM Lee said to Jamie Yeo to start a website to stand for his views, he was actually telling him to take a long walk off a short pier.

=======================================

A*Star, simply can't make it !!

Why can't A*Star admit that they made a mistake in their selection of candidate?

Scholarship program should be scrapped long ago.
