Bear with me, just for a moment… Forget the drama on social media. Forget you’ve watched the video. Forget that the ERP costs only $1. If you’re Chinese, forget that for a moment too. Now imagine being familiar with a journey, one that you’ve never paid ERP for. (According to the Straits Times, this journey does […]
You probably know who your CEO is, even if you have never so much as stepped into the same lift with the man. Heck you probably even know all the directors by first and last name even though you have nothing to do with their departments. But what about the person that comes quietly into […]

(The writer has run a hawker stall himself and so has his father. They were in the trade of noodles and fruit juice) So you want government and social enterprises to stay out of the hawker business? Do you know what would happen? Well, there would be a gap… and that gap will be filled […]
