This protest against PM Lee is useless because 70% of Singaporeans voted for this one-party system. PM Lee had already declared no abuse of power in the parliament and the parliament fully supported him. With the AG and Parliament rallying behind him, he is untouchable. Therefore, 30% of Singaporeans can only suffer in silence.
If this group of people had a real interest in Singapore, they should also protest against AG's declaration of Wee Kim Wee as our first elected president which was against our common consensus but they didn't.
I wonder why.

Look like Donald Trump is only a 1 term president.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-losing-public-support-poll-130048321.html
If his public approval rating continues to drop like this, he will only be a 1 term president. Therefore, his focus will be to garner as many business deals as possible for his own business before the party is over.

Bigger container ships bring in more containers into Singapore but with fewer port calls.
http://www.seatrade-maritime.com/news/asia/box-volumes-at-singapore-port-increase-8-5-in-june.html
Singapore increases its container volume by 8.5% at 2.6m TEU in June 2017 compared to 2016. However, the number of ships' calls drop 3.8% month on month to 3378 ships.
http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/energy-commodities/singapore-june-marine-fuel-sales-fall-to-their-lowest-this-year
This conundrum is caused by larger container ships which can carry more TEUs. Therefore, our containers increase but the ship port calls drop which affects the bunker sales.

Hahaha! The USA has to get used to China's spy ship now.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-spy-ship-reportedly-lurking-051200989.html
When the USA sends its P8A to spy on China, it must also get used to being spied on.
This is a fair game. When you spy on others, you will also be spied on by others. If you go to other people's backyard, other people will also go to your backyard.

Why does Indonesia want to move its Jakarta capital?
http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/indonesia-studying-plan-to-relocate-capital
Jakarta is under serious threat from rising sea level and is constantly flooding because 40% of its land is under sea level now. With the breakage of the iceberg in Antarctica, the sea level will rise a further 10cm in the foreseeable future. This is the problem of global warming.
The next capital under siege is Bangkok. Bangkok is sinking about 5cm per year and with the rising sea level, flooding will become a serious threat to this capital. Foreigners who bought BKK condos will have problems cashing out their properties.

Wow! S$100m for a Singapore penthouse!
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore-penthouse-sale-over-72-043611407.html
Are we living in stratospheric or what? When does a Singapore penthouse become so highly priced?
I know Singaporeans won't buy this penthouse because S$100m can get a good class bungalow with a big land.
Any foreigner who can pay $100m for a penthouse is no ordinary person but paying for a Singapore penthouse at this price does sound like an inane decision.

This is the latest renewable energy development after solar and wind.
Kudos to China!

Noble Group update.
http://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/goldilocks-raises-stake-in-noble-group-to-819-from-503
The Noble group has been spiking because of the appearance of a white knight from Abu Dhabi. Goldilocks has accumulated more than 8% share in Noble.
However, Noble is unlikely to recover to its past glory days because of the weak commodities industry. Noble has to sell its golden goose to beef up its financial fundamentals and without the golden goose, it won't be able to make the same incomes like before.
There has to be a major restructuring in the business model now to position itself for the next upturn.

Mystery lights in Tokyo sky.
http://www.asiaone.com/asia/mystery-lights-appear-over-tokyo-sparks-fear-and-confusion-among-netizens
My best guess for this is either a lightning ball or earthquake light.
A lightning ball moves in a slow and abnormal way. Please look at the lightning ball picture below.
Earthquake lights can look similar to lightning ball too. Please see the picture below.
If the strange light is related to an earthquake, then Japan is in trouble because there'll be an impending earthquake soon.

We cannot let Japan get away with this!
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/japan-protests-koreas-comfort-women-heritage-bid-091722371.html
The comfort women were forced to be sex slaves and there's not a single drop of doubt about it. We cannot let Japan whitewash this inhumane historical war event.
We must not be like our PM Lee who didn't understand WW2 history well enough and asked Japan to stop apologizing.
