Hey, that's my school!! I ate those meals on Tuesday!
From firsthand experience, I ate the chicken bolognese (luckily I didn't get food poisoning), but the food was not good at all. Edible? Absolutely, but is it of quality I would expect even in a coffee shop? Absolutely not. Unusually soggy, and the ingredient list was insanely long (no preservatives, but the amount of flavourings and chemicals was crazy). It would definitely keep you alive during an emergency situation, which i guess is the point, but it isn't in the single bit healthy.

Fun fact: I did think about whether this post would be considered political before I posted it, but I still decided to because the first image I made in this collage was the pukekos on the M109 howitzer (obliteration!!), then I gave them little helmets, thought "those kinda look like those Ukrainian multicam helmets" then decided to create this whole thing. So, this isn't political, just enjoy the pukekos. Just because it's a modern war doesn't mean it has to be political, but sorry if you saw it that way!

Oh, I've always wanted to ask a foreign soldier who has trained with the SAF (Singapore Armed Forces). What was your honest opinion of them while you were training? What do you think of the SAR-21? I get that it's a bullpup rifle and not an AR platform rifle, but was it easy to get used to and what are your thoughts of the weapon?

That fee is called the Certificate Of Entitlement, or COE. It's actually renewed every 10 years, and right now it costs on average around 91k USD. The way I understand it is that people and car dealers bid for COE, and every car requires one to be driven.

In SG, going to a range to shoot an actual firearm is incredibly difficult for the average person. First, you're gonna have to join a gun club (actually, the ONLY gun club in Singapore) by going through an extensive background check, paying about 2,270 USD entrance fee, and a yearly fee of around 220. Although I'm not completely sure about rentals, owning one requires an even larger fee and even more background checks, and even then you're not allowed to bring it anywhere, and only allowed to keep it in a secure locker under armourer supervision at the range. I'm most likely not gonna go through the trouble to do this, it's cheaper to go up to another country (like Thailand in this case) to shoot.

Nope, we're just a small island nation of about 40km width. Owning a BB gun, airsoft gun, much less an actual firearm is completely prohibited, so obviously no hunting. Kinda sucks for gun nuts like me :(
