Been a while

Yet again, I am neglecting this blog. Not that I have nothing to say, it is just that my tech blog is seeing more activity.

Well, it has been 6 months. Much has changed in this sunny island. The powers that be have seen it fit to pay themselves more money, raise the GST and ... you know the drill.

What irks me is that there is so much blatant self-serving that was done by the political leadership that is smacks of nothing but greed. The whole debacle of this exercise of dipping in the coffers has been discussed ad nauseum by the blogosphere. My only contribution is to ask the "PM" if he indeed was going to donate his increment to charity *before* the parliamentary sham? Loong is caught in between a rock and a hardplace - if he does not say that he "wanted" to "donate" the increment, he would have joined the others in living up to the accusation of greed and if he had announced before the mockery of a "debate" that if the increment was approved, he would donate it he would have come across as trying to score points.

Sigh. This is my country. I served this country when the country called upon me in December 2004.

and I cannot stand by and watch it being taken for a ride.
