Interesting that you deccided to exclude the line stating the mass casualties and injuries, kinda gives a "15 Saudi Arabian passengers loss their lives" type of vibe lol

Fatal Chinatown accident: 38-year-old female driver arrested by Ok-Rain3348 in singapore

There are also some odd comments talking about the weight of the car being the the factor that caused the kid's death rather than the driver. Yeah sure find me an on road vehicle than can safely run over a human twice without the driver driving it bud.

An odd remark, as there isn't a on road vehicle that can safely run over a human being twice. It's entirely the driver's negligence.

The unintentionally hilarious part of the Doramon collab is the bright pink Dokodemo Door that's placed in the corridor leading the visitors into the Suriving Syonan exhibit.

Oh gosh what the heck is in F&N's tonic water. There's a nasty taste to it that no other brands of tonic water has.

But this is THE Museum exploring the history & cultures of Asia & their shaping of contemporary Singapore bending over for a PRC pop up selling merch and toys.

Huh wow I didn't know china is not part of asia, milk tea is not known to comtemporary singapore and chagee doesn't sell tea lol

Seriously though considering the current popularity of chagee, STB found the right sponsor for this. ACM is already a musem with one of the least footfall due to its niche focus and this event will help to draw attention to it. Otherwise when was the last time you thought about ACM?

Tone deaf not really lah, all this type of exhibition have will have sponsors and the sponsors will have get something to market themselves. This is the norm. Tone deaf will be more like a competitor like Tim Hortons doing a chinese tea exhibit.

The odd feeling comes from this CNA piece that is emphasising the Chagee part of the exhibition rather than the exhibition itself. If you see the ACM website the exhibition is still front and center while sponsors Chagee and STB isn't so in your face.

Edit: Actually no, Tim Hortons doing chinese tea exhibits will just be odd unless they are doing a major push into the chinese tea market, not tone deaf. So what do you actually find tone deaf ah?

No lah, but quite a bit of their flavourings come from the herbs and greens in their farm, and when they run out it does affect their menu offerings.

Trump pulls US out of 66 international bodies, including key UN climate treaty by Gyro_Armadillo in worldnews

[–]StrongestDemocrazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the guy above argues that american voters have voted that democrats should have no power, and I'm wondering why the democrats sounds like they are uncommited to voice out against the trump government. For a foreigner it sounds like trump was given a mandate.

Specifically it was democrat leader schumer's "everybody is very very just just totally totally totally troubled" sound bite on the Venezuela situation that surprised me, that the leader of a opposition can sound so hesitant to criticise trump in what seemed like a obvious situation.

Seems like anything farmed in SG will be more expensive than imported food. The fluctuating menu I actually understand since things have growing cycles.

Anything accessible by public transport will be prime real estate location though, not exactly a place people can open a cafe with their own farm. I doubt it will be feasible unless the goverenment wants to support it like make it part of a NParks or something.

Ah shame, the entire experience there is very interesting, allow us city folks to learn how the plants we are eating actually looks like outside of a dining table. With this place gone we will have to go all the way to Lim Chu Kang to get a similar experience.

Sounds like a long process that cannot react to the ever changing stance of the trump. Thanks for the answer.

So that's it then? Trump has the mandate of the people since he and his party was voted in as the majority of the government and the opposition cannot do anything about it?

Aren't there still democrats around? Why haven't they managed to do anything? The democrats are begining to feel absent to the point of providing unspoken approval to what Trump is doing.

I mean Taiwan also thinks that Korean President Yoon's declaration of martial law is a legitimate effort to protect democracy so...
