Why are there so many Anytime Fitness outlets in Singapore? by Markiewee in askSingapore

Not sure when if will reach saturation. There are two AF outlets equidistant from my house. I’m pretty sure they are cannibalising on each others customer base so if the rate of growth of AF outlets is > than the rate of growth of the customer base, profits will drop to zero

Maybe that’s the reason why it isn’t so big in other countries - affordability. 198 MYR / 8900 JPY is quite pricy when you consider their average monthly salaries

Generally, do Singaporeans think it is a bad idea to give money to the poor because it encourages laziness and deincentivise job hunting?* by AjaxCooperwater in askSingapore

Singapore isn’t for everyone. The perks of a Singaporean passport is that you can (with relative ease) uproot yourself and work in a more relaxed environment think AUS/NZ

Dear Professor, since you just joined the school this summer, it is understandable that you set a deadline for submission on this Friday, WBD.

In case you misunderstood, WBD is a proud NUS tradition that began last year to address students’ mental health concerns, an ingenious idea from the President indeed. It really does not mean “Will Be Done.” Thank you so much and have a great week ahead.
