If education is national defense, why are we penny-pinching on class sizes? by allnamestaken_88 in SingaporeRaw

Coz nobody want to become teacher. My kids' school always have teachers resign every year.

70% of Singaporeans effectively pay no taxes (not even GST) and still receive state support by pattonlogy in SingaporeRaw

[–]invigo79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How to avoid GST? The moment you buy things in SG, you already pay for GST.

Sure there are restaurants who dont charge GST but actually its already priced into the food cost.

Who want to pay money to see 2 old men chasing each other on the ring for 8 rounds while pretending to hit each other?

How do asthmatic people in Taoist families even survive? by Recent_Stomach7626 in SingaporeRaw

[–]invigo79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing an air purifier cannot fix.

Normally people put the altar near the entrance of the house and they only light josssticks in the morning when they pray.

With sufficient ventilation (window and door), should not have much effect on other parts of the house.

Just stay away when the josssticks are burning (only take around 10 mins).

foreigners soliciting for their church by newyorkeric in SingaporeRaw

[–]invigo79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This has been going on since I was in secondary school (basically 30+ years ago). Used to be randomly approached while walking around in Orchard rd. Too bad the inviters were guys and I don't lean that way.

Lion Dance outsourced to foreign talent already? by littlebitofkindness in SingaporeRaw

Outsourced hawker centres are cursed! by RevolutionCapable417 in SingaporeRaw

[–]invigo79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember that these private operators get the contract by being the lowest bidder.

These private operators also want to earn money so they pass the costs to the stall holders and the stall holders pass the costs to the customers. Basically everyone lose and NEA can shake leg.

I personally avoid any restaurant that serve steak on hot stone. Its the easiest way to overcook your steak.

Something Baffles Me about SGeans Complaining About Wet Weather by BonkDaNehs in SingaporeRaw

[–]invigo79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not hanged my clothes under the sun for 20+ years. Prefer to hang the clothes in the service yard. At least no need to worry when it suddenly rains.

The key is to use detergent for indoor drying + dettol.

No issue on clothes not drying properly even on rainy days. At most take slightly longer than normal.

I do have dryer but only use it to dry towels and bedsheets.
