Not sure whether all of you can see the pic from the link and is it photoshopped.
Our PM posture looked so feminine.

That is certainly not photo shopped cos he definitely behaves very feminine-like, including the way he walks in formal meetings. He looked so damn timid in front of Trump

Someone with substance,

1. Trump
Built an empire, became a multi billionaire on his own accord, managing world's No 1 economy, World's 3rd largest population (324 million)

2. Emperor
Inherit, globally, quite known as the Son of LKY, unknown fortune (never once did the press report such things... why), GDP being only about 1.6% of US [1], population size of 1.75% against US [2]....

YET Sticking out sorely....

US President : USD400,000 a year (approx S$545k)
Sg PM : USD1.7 million a year (approx S$2.2mil)

In contrast, population and GDP, we are about 1.7% of US, but this PM's pay is 4.25 times that of US President....

Can hold head high in terms of pay la.... apart from pay, everything else......... HA

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been an essential treatment option for treating prostate cancer (PCa). The role for hormonal treatment initially was restricted to men with metastatic and inoperable, locally advanced disease. Now it has been extended to neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for surgery and radiotherapy, for biochemical relapse after surgery or radiation, and even as primary therapy for non-metastatic disease. Fifty percent of PCa patients treated will receive ADT at some point. There is growing concern about the adverse effects and costs associated with more widespread ADT use. The adverse effects on quality of life (QoL), including physical, social and psychological well-being when men are androgen-deprived, may be considerable. This review examines the QoL issues in the following areas: body feminisation, sexual changes, relationship changes, cognitive and affective symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression and physical effects. Further suggestions for therapeutic approaches to reduce these alterations are suggested



Must SK, decrease your prostate cancer risk.
Bottom line, dun marry buey kannn bin

Oxley Road saga shows Singapore has rule of law, responsible leaders: Chan Chun Sing

SINGAPORE - The "silver lining" in the Oxley Road dispute is that it shows Singapore is serious about the rule of law, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Chan Chun Sing said on Monday (Oct 30).

The dispute between Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his siblings over the family house at 38, Oxley Road, also shows Singapore has leaders who tackle difficult issues head-on without dodging responsibility, he added, citing the ministerial committee set up to consider options for the house.

Mr Chan made these points at a lunch dialogue with members of the Foreign Correspondents Association, when he was asked by a journalist from The Nikkei of Japan for his views on the saga, which broke in June this year.

On the rule of law, Mr Chan said the incident showed "no man is above the law".

"Not even our founding prime minister, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, put himself above the law," he said, adding this gave confidence that the rule of law applied to everyone - "regardless of your position in life".

He was referring to how Mr Lee's earlier wish of wanting the house demolished was not executed by default, as it was subject to due processes under the relevant laws.

"If Mr Lee had put himself above the law, I think it will send a very different signal to the international community on what you can look to Singapore for," he said.

On those who ask why the Government could not respect Mr Lee's wishes, Mr Chan said: "We have solutions to achieve both respecting his wish and also the longer-term national perspective."

Moving on to the ministerial committee studying options for the house, Mr Chan said it shows the country has leaders who will "take it upon themselves to bear the responsibility for the decisions of their generation".

The committee -headed by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean - came under criticism from PM Lee's siblings, who questioned its secrecy and the need for its existence.

Mr Chan said: "If Mr Lee has his personal wish and no one in the current or future Cabinet would have the sense of responsibility to think through the issue in context, according to the needs of the society at the time, what would it speak about the quality of leadership in Singapore?"

He added: "The fact that you have people who are prepared to sit down, look at the issue dispassionately, examine the options, put it to the people, it speaks well for the country."

While the incident is "unfortunate", he said the overall response to it bodes well for the country.

"The incident won't define us. Our responses to the incident will define us," he added.

The hour-long dialogue took place at InterContinental Hotel Robertson Quay. Mr Chan also spoke about Singapore staying relevant in a challenging environment, and the fourth generation of political leaders.
