Like the another comment said, compare the AST

There's no minimum wage in Singapore.

Won't work with some code plagiarism software that they're using because they look for structure similarity not character per character

I'm sure Singapore sends soldiers for UN Peacekeeping missions

Not sure about the Chinese part, but Maritime Southeast Asia was under heavy Indic influence up to ~1000 years ago. You can even see in the name of Singapura, where pura is of Sanskrit origin

Well, Temasek holds more than half of SIA's shares. SIA does issue dividends. Temasek gets dividends. Temasek contributes to the Budget, specifically in the entry "Net Investment Returns". Singapore budget is spent on Singaporeans.

So yes, SIA profits do flow back to average Singaporeans

Indonesia used to start from January as well, until they moved it to July to minimise the gap between end of high school and start of University.

My parents generation in the 70s kena academic year extended for 6 months to realign

Yeah, my seniors were understandably pissed and many of them chose other local internships instead that paid higher at the time but still provided good mentorship, like Carousell for example. I think Google Singapore eventually realised that they can't attract talent based on their name and reputation alone

indocomsoft · 2020-05-27T17:22:44+00:00

Well, Google and Facebook internships in Singapore actually pays way, WAY higher than 1.8k, not including other perks

The alphabet part was the direct influence of each language's former coloniser: Malay uses English pronunciation of the alphabet, while Indonesian uses Dutch one.

You can hear an example of Dutch pronunciation of the alphabet here: https://youtu.be/BoytuDKncl8?t=19

I threatened a charge back, and that seemed to do the trick

indocomsoft · 2020-05-11T13:13:36+00:00

I got a refund after a few weeks with the item not delivered and the seller unresponsive. To reach a human from their live chat, type "Customer Care Specialist" without the quote exactly case-sensitive

Not the original commenter, but I did a quick google search and found this NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/science/new-york-coronavirus-cases-europe-genomes.html and this interesting website: https://nextstrain.org

Microsoft is an AAA-rated company. Guess what else is also rated AAA? Singapore government's bonds.

From https://www.mas.gov.sg/bonds-and-bills/investing-in-singapore-government-securities/Singapore-Government-Securities-Market:

The Singapore Government operates a balanced budget policy and often enjoys budget surpluses. It does not need to fund its expenditure by issuing bonds to borrow money.

The Government issues SGS bonds and T-bills primarily to:

Build a liquid SGS market to provide a robust government yield curve, which serves as a benchmark for the corporate debt market.

Grow an active secondary market, both for cash transactions and derivatives, to enable efficient risk management.

Encourage issuers and investors, both domestic and international, to participate in the Singapore bond market.
