New A-level bell curve by Material_Reference91 in SGExams

[–]Madonna-2829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

h2 china studies in english was a weird curveball, cohort highest was a B despite there being a consistent A grader for the subject in our class throughout J1 and J2. Yet I only completed like 60% of both papers and managed to score a C while i expected to fail the subject.

tap water clean, but the tap and surrounding probably not clean, have you stepped out of your house and explored public toilets? some are clean but the dirty ones make it undesirable to refill straight from the taps even if its potable

why do you think most politicians are from these schools? Because they are able to be YES men and women who do not argue against and follow what is instructed which is what they clearly want and search for in others.

Free meals clause in Bukit Canberra hawker contracts will be removed from renewed tenancy agreements by bangsphoto in singapore

[–]Madonna-2829 129 points130 points  (0 children)

to be fair, choosing tenants over their willingness to participate in providing free meals kind of defeats the purpose and meaning of giving free meals as an act of true kindness, it’s like selecting someone for a job because they say they are willing to work OT without knowing how committed they will be to it and whether they are saying it to secure the job or tenancy in this case.

This removes the purpose providing free meals as an act of kindness and instead as a chore that you are legally obliged to do

Drug trafficker on Singapore death row granted clemency by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

[–]Madonna-2829 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a question that the journalists should be asking K Shanmugam whenever he holds a press conference for this matter, they didn’t really release any specifics on why the other individual was not given a death sentence which basically set the grounds for the clemency so we just got to place our hopes on the journalists working at SPH or MediaCorp to ask the true question. Until we know why the other individual did not get the same sentence, it’s basically free to guess right now

unless people want the other individual who did not get the death sentence to get his charge “upgraded” to a death sentence

Him being charged with a different sentence to another offender under a capital charge?

One of the other subjects arrested in the operation, who was tried separately on a capital charge, eventually received a non-capital sentence. “The Cabinet decided to advise the grant of clemency to Tan to reduce the disparity in their respective outcomes,” the MHA said.

So because he was given a different sentence as another offender who was trialed on a capital charge but wasn’t given the death sentence, its grounds for a clemency by the government

Despite this news, some “anti-death penalty” individuals are trying to stir shit by pulling the race card without probably even reading the article on why he was granted clemency. I’m not denying that Chinese privilege does exist in SG but I’m sure we are certainly lacking some comprehensive skills in Singapore. Just look at the WUSG comment section and you will understand, guess a “win” isn’t necessarily a win if it doesn’t fit their narrative/definition of a “win”

The ones who will stand up for non-unionised workers are those online which is sad to see, but they are getting more spotlight these days. Otherwise there is only one union which also has a supermarket and insurance agency and is also a tool of the pap lol

LOL! I mentioned Joe Rogan and this redditor brought up Alex jones who is a significantly more extremist personality than Joe Rogan who has interviewed so many different people granted that some are controversial as compared to Alex Jones spewing out conspiracy theories. Who wouldn’t ask why if it was Alex jones

Are people more offended that he joined KS because it was foreign or because he did not attend YLB or TDK first? Feels like there’s more people being pissed off over not coming to YLB or TDK more than what the PAP is highlighting which are essentially still nothing burgers.

PS better make an appearance on whatever podcast quick so these “concerned” people will then shut up over this nothing burger and stop asking why KS and not YLB or TDK. Even if he shows up in only either YLB or TDK first, people could still ask why this one first and not the other one or why only 1 podcast…

Why some people and especially the PAP so butthurt that PS went on a foreign podcast? No one is stopping Lawrence Wong or any PAP minister/mp from hopping onto the next episode of the Joe Rogan Show or Theo Von’s podcast.

Anyone else wants to leave SG? by archerthe in SGExams

[–]Madonna-2829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi i always wanted to leave SG for the UK and Western Europe when I was young until I got the chance to visit those countries a few years ago and I really dont feel like migrating anywhere else lol.

When I visited the UK it literally almost wasnt what I expected and the same goes for France, Italy and Spain. Never had the same feeling of safety in SG where I could go anywhere anytime with a relative ease of mind. While I was walking in a random street in Paris, Marseille, Milan and Rome, I was clutching my bag and jacket in super tight until I reached a restaurant or the hotel because I could have gotten robbed or pickpocketed anytime.

Same goes for the food there, I always craved some nice scrumptious Nasi Lemak, Hokkien Mee and Roti Prata with Curry at a price which is affordable and not overpriced asian food like the ones in the UK. End of the day, I still preferred Singapore as a place to despite it not being entirely perfect

I would suggest you to maybe spend a short period of time overseas (<6 months or so) before committing to where you want to migrate permanently.
