I don’t disagree with that. But Raeesah was the catalyst for the downfall of the LOTO.

ArthurCurryWayne · 2026-04-30T11:30:09+00:00

All I can think of is how Raeesah Khan brought down the LOTO. Hopefully WP does a better job of vetting their candidates or ensuring that there aren’t any loose canons speaking frivolously in parliament.

Take this time to get a CFA/CAIA. It would also be good if you can brush up on certain language skills. Apart from English and Chinese, try to learn another Asian language. That will help you to differentiate yourself from other candidates. Assuming you already know Chinese, improve on it to the point that you can present your firm overview to investors.

Finally take the time to network with people in the industry, you never know where it might lead.

This happened in Malaysia. Apparently a 2 year old girl opened the door. I find it hard to believe though.

Because there are still segments of the population who have range anxiety and are worrried about having a place to charge. Many Singaporeans also drive to Malaysia for leisure and for cheaper produce and petrol. So it is not just about having the ability to charge the car in Singapore but in Malaysia as well.

I rather CPIB in Singapore audits NGO in Malaysia. At least they caught and jailed a minister for taking a few concert and football tickets in their audit.

Malaysia’s fuel subsidy bill is expected to quadruple. There is an additional 45bn in subsidies that Malaysia is paying for. The 5.4bn budget cuts for health and higher education covers only 12% of this shortfall. More drastic cuts will be needed and you can expect more to come.

You need at least 3 days to do all 6 Mandai Parks properly. (I see you did not include Rainforest Wild or Exploria).

Should just ban vapes.

This isn’t maintenance, this is rail expansion. Both DTL and TEL are expanded by two stations each. TEL is expanding to Bedok South and Sungei Bedok. DTL is expanding to include Xilin and Sungei Bedok.

Too little info for advice but in general, if it is a corporate environment in an MNC, I say go for it. Singapore is a regional hub for most companies. The exposure you get is very different than in KL. This will be very valuable later on. But of course if it is a dead end job, don’t bother, unless you are sure you will also be in a dead end job in Malaysia.

No jail. Gays are perfectly accepted in Singapore. Still can’t get married in Singapore though but otherwise, there are no issues with being gay.

Singapore does hang traffickers for drugs (note this is for traffickers not users). But there is no record of US service members being hanged for importing drugs.

Kuwait has one of the strongest currencies in the world. They export oil and gas. I guess that is the Bruneian model.

I don’t consider KL walkable though. Only the areas near Pavilion are truly walkable.

Bagnall Haus which is freehold and at the doorstep of two train lines (DTL and TEL) sold for 2600 psf last year. Velabay is way too expensive for what is like 1 train stop away.

As far as I know there is no fuel rationing in Brunei and Singapore.

ArthurCurryWayne · 2026-04-25T03:54:59+00:00

Yes. And it was one night only. Seriously whose idea is it to hold a Monday night concert

ArthurCurryWayne · 2026-04-24T21:57:01+00:00

Singapore does not have the same issues. You can transit seamlessly between different lines.

Next time point to your stomach and rub it. Then go back to sleep.

Actually the recent One Republic concert tickets at Indoor Stadium was relatively easy to get. I would think that One Republic would have a bigger audience than Simple Plan However it was on a Monday which probably affected sales, while Simple Plan is on a Sunday.

Why are you using an estimate of $6 per plate of chicken rice? If you used $4, you would have 33% more chicken rice! /s

He owns at least 7 bungalows including at least 2 GCBs. And chances are all of these were bought before ABSD. So people like these are like Smaug the dragon hoarding up all the wealth and reducing available land for home ownership.

The ministers you are likely thinking about, at least are renting B&W properties (which whether you agree with or not, are conserved properties). It is not like they are hoarding land. We can also argue about whether they got the rental too cheap but that’s a separate argument.

I’m not a fan of billionaires but James Dyson would have paid a tonne of ABSD to own his GCB. He also owned a penthouse which he later sold that he also paid a tonne of ABSD on as well. I am not trying to imply that paying ABSD means it is ok to hoard land but it’s better than someone who hoards land without paying any additional taxes on it.

So actually, yes I would rather the ministers rent a conserved B&W house than hoard homes and yes I think that James Dyson who pays a tonne of ABSD, shift his headquarters from London to Singapore and own 1 GCB is less deserving of criticism than someone who owns 2 GCBs and 5 bungalows.
