The case for female National Service

On this 45th anniversary year of the introduction of National Service in Singapore, I propose a change to this national institution which has both defined our country and contributed to its security – both externally as a deterrence, as well as internally as a binding social mechanism for all males in Singapore. I request for the inclusion of all females into National Service on several grounds.

In defence of the PAP

Anti-PAP sentiments have recently grown fashionable in Singapore, and having written a previous note on why I could not vote for the PAP in the last general election, I feel a strong need to clarify my opinion.

Do men really have free-will?

I approach this question theologically in the first half, and then quite irreligiously in the second half.

The two greatest men in history were ugly

Just some random thoughts on a lazy afternoon.

All popular beliefs are wrong.

On the “special position of Malays” in Singapore

The Constitution of the Republic of Singapore provides:

Minorities and special position of Malays
152.

(2) The Government shall exercise its functions in such manner as to recognise the special position of the Malays, who are the indigenous people of Singapore, and accordingly it shall be the responsibility of the Government to protect, safeguard, support, foster and promote their political, educational, religious, economic, social and cultural interests and the Malay language.

At least three questions beg to be answered.
