#236 church pastor paid 500K per year?

Fancy that..I read that New Creation Church pays her leaders — pastor, Joseph Prince — an annual sum of 500K and 2 others for sums of 100K each for work done in the church!
Mind you, when the pastor marries a couple in church, he gets an angpaw; at funeral wakes he is given an offering [...]

#227 abusers at sports stadium

Generally Singaporeans are fortunate to enjoy sports stadium where the public could use the stadium for free.
Today, to my great disgust, there was animal pooh on the wood-chips track at the Gombak stadium. The wood-chips track is specially designed for those athletes to exercise while recovering from injuries.
Unfortunately some users not only bring their animals to accompany them [...]

“How’s school?”
“It’s boring!” remarked a teenager from a good school.
Sadly students think that teachers can teach…but the truth is, many of us who had gone through the mill discovered the qualified teachers were average. They could hardly impart knowledge. Some teachers read through the text with us during lessons and they expect us to perform. We must be the [...]

Is this the result of having better education? Receiving an education means that the woman’s self-worth is enhanced if she enters the workplace?
Yesterday, the generation born before World War II were [...]

“Arghhh…vandalism! I exclaimed when I saw the “O$P$ followed by a mobile phone number” while descending the public lift.
‘O$P$’ stands for ‘owe money pay money’ — a slogan of warning by the loan sharks.
Why go to loan sharks? Out of desperation? A result of overspending? Or a case where banks do not lend to those having little means?
There’d been situations when a new [...]

Currently there is this tv entertaininfo(?) program on ‘The Perfect Child’ — why ‘perfect’?
Can any human being be perfect? Does anyone want a perfect person around? Woe behold!
Why not a title like ’My Child’? Every human being on earth is unique. There are no replicas!
If I have a child I would want this baby to grow up whole and be himself or [...]
