Employment Pass Status still in pending
Surprising, as there is no election for 5 years, and people have very short memories. So, there is no need to do anything for effect, that hampers the economy temporarily, for another 4yrs 9 months.revhappy wrote:Nope. They are not.

Well, the fact that MM and SM resigned so quickly tells that they want to make amends rightaway and not take anymore chances. 5 years may seem a longtime. But effects of policy changes take time to bring results.JR8 wrote:Surprising, as there is no election for 5 years, and people have very short memories.

Hey, ksl, why didn't you go to the requested interview at MOM? It was a very good dialog. (although the hour & 15 minutes ended up being half a day but interesting to say the least). Could have used you there as well. The Sr Asst Director told me he contacted you as well as myself. I would have though you would have gone, especially seeing how fond you are of insisting on seeing a works controller all the time.

Dear ausinsg -
I am not a musician, although i enjoy music a lot especially Jazz...
I guess you are good at song writing perhaps, below lyrics written by you...
How do you sing it, is it pop, soft ballad, R&B rap, country folks song ?
I would love to hear a demo recording done by you
My dear dear ausinsg ... Singapore got talent shows!

This is a famous song from a musical called "Pirates of Penzance". It is by Gilbert and Sullivan.
You can find the video on YouTube if you search for "Major-General The Pirates of Penzance (Subtitles) "
Did you hear anything back about your EP? I hope you received good news.
Cheers!
