PAP Sec-Gen during the party convention. Election at anytime of LW's choosing if he feels the timing is advantageous irrespective of before or after convention.

Not 2004. Choo Wee Khiang resigned in 1999. As this occurred during GCT's tenure as PM, it is indicated as such in the row heading (1st column).

Good point. Edited.

Where are you going? Different countries, different challenges.

Generic challenges - Being responsible for your own life and staying disciplined to see it through. E.g. no one else to do housework or wake you up for early morning lessons. - Language (non-English country) - $$$ - Transport (if car is needed for daily activities) - Crime (Higher crime rates in some countries) - Food

Edit: Amended 1st point as per comment.

Majulah Singapura!

JB. Northwest Singapore can reach Causeway quite fast.

It sounds like this is the first time you have experienced failure.

No used crying over spilt milk. You have to start accepting that coasting isn't going to help you in JC. You just have to work hard (and harder than other) to get up to standard for A Levels and excel.

There are no shortcuts.

Btw, it's not the end of the world to get retained. You are still alive with the chance to start on a clean slate. May do you good to get your foundation right in Year 1 before proceeding to Year 2.

All the best.

The Ring. Japanese original not the Hollywood remake.

You can buy from supermarkets or online.

Your post speaks volumes about you. Scholar my foot. Hasn't your education taught you to be more resilient and work around challenges?

Lots of others would be happy to be in your position.

I hope you are not receiving a public service scholarship, otherwise I shudder at the thought of another self-entitled prick leeching on taxpayers funds in the present and future.

Both sexes have privileges.

Male - privilege of serving NS to protect your loved ones.

Female - privilege of being protected by hunky NS men.

Both are not capable. The question should be changed to "Who is more CMI as Minister - OYK or NCM?"

Singapore is blessed. We aren't suffering from drought. Best country in the world!

You can show respect by just sending an email to politely decline. Attending the interview when you are not interested is a waste of your time and the interviewer's time. That is more disrespectful to both parties.

Hope they reached their destination safely.

He needs to praise LHL for the following firsts:

First Prime Minister to lose a GRC.

First Prime Minister to lose 2 GRCs.

Your time frame is too short to invest in equities. Suggest fixed deposits, HYSA, T-bills or SSB.

Edit: You must be a Muslim bro/sis, so apologies for recommending non shariah compliant options.

Perhaps you can explore some shariah compliant savings account by CIMB or Maybank. CIMB doesn't look too shabby for short term savings if you deposit salary. https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal/banking-with-us/accounts/savings-accounts/cimb-fastsaver-i-account.html

Singapore is probably the only first world country to offer this experience.

For the authentic Singapore, you can visit a foreign workers dormitory.

See first hand the living conditions of our low wage blue collar migrant workers who build our shiny skyscrapers, construct our immaculate infrastructure, keep our streets clean, etc.

See how much space they have (or don't have). Imagine living in these conditions when COVID struck.

Speak to some of them on the wages they receive and compare it to the apartments and bungalows which they built and are flipped for millions of $$$ by rich Singaporeans.

Hitch a ride with them as they are transported to their workplaces on the behinds of trucks without seatbelts when they leave their dormitories.

Experience the authentic Singapore, not some shallow facade promoted by STB.

Isn't this relationship between just the both of you? You sound like you already accepted her flaws.

Why should you care about what others think of your prospective partner? What's their agenda for informing you that your prospective partner was an "outcast"? Why are they judging her? Every person is unique and there is no requirement to conform to narrow societal norms.

And is not having many friends in the past a red flag for you? Not everyone is extroverted and has the energy to go around making friends easily.

At the end of the day, only you can decide what's a deal breaker for you in a relationship.

All the best.

Thanks!

Mine too. Cheers!🍻

Those are also viable suggestions. I think OP could explore some of the suggestions this thread is going to provide and then make an informed decision.
