Tan Suee Chieh: Sacrificing NTUC Income’s values for short-term gains undermines its foundation
American national? SG courts system goyang. White house make one call all the MIW will take panadol. Guarantee no caning also maybe just fine and deport.
Hahaha another FT, managed to enter Singapore because his employer and ICA were sleeping on the job. If you attract money laundering, you also attract vices. The Ministers in charge should be replaced as this one has been let in too close to our children.
Unis should check thoroughly whether these Foreign Trashes have permanent head damage and horny tendencies to prey on innocent girls
Foreign (paedophile) Talent???
Whip his backsides few strokes to make him remember Singapore and our Singapore’s “souvenir”.
SGov must also show to the world that although Singapore is small, we mean business, serious business, when come to laws. In front of Singapore’s laws, everyone is equal and there should not be any favourism of a nationality over the others.
