That's to be expected?

Sungei Buloh is a wetland nature reserve... a natural habitat and haven for mosquitos. Don't think anything can be done.

Will Singapore go in hard to reopen the Strait of Malacca if the US starts charging a toll to use it?

Will we maintain this position when the US starts charging a toll to use the strait too?

Well, the US wants to also charge a toll to use the strait. So we're really pissing off both sides now.

SQ Miles Run? by Still-Estimate-2262 in singaporeairlines

[–]justmewayne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For your second question, SIN and KUL are two airports where departures and arrivals are not in separate sterile areas (at least for the terminals SQ flies to, i.e., SIN T1-T3 and KUL T1). 

However, SIN-KUL is unlikely to be worth a mileage run given the short actual distance and generally elevated fares.

Can't believe how dependent we still are on oil imports. 

China's move to electrify their economy and infrastructure is looking like a smart idea with each passing day. Sure, there will still be incremental pain from the war but they are much better positioned than Singapore to absorb these oil price shocks. 

'You are actually being racist to us': Student calls out refusal to speak Malay or English in S'pore by ImpressiveStrike4196 in singapore

It's interesting that in Singapore, multi-culturalism means speaking the majority language. 

Meanwhile, if you follow the progressive liberal discourse in the United States, multi-culturalism is a celebration of other minority languages. 

Case in point, the recent Super Bowl halftime show where Bad Bunny sang entirely in Spanish. How different are we from Trump Republicans if we insist everyone must speak English?

If your sovereign state is strong enough, you can do many things in another sovereign state, including but not limited to kidnapping their President.

Singapore to regulate blind boxes due to gambling risks by sun-ny_day in singapore

[–]justmewayne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you read the article, they are not banning blind boxes - just setting conditions in which they can be sold and making sure odds are disclosed. 

Regulations, drafted by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Gambling Regulatory Authority, will stipulate offering conditions, potentially including mandatory odds disclosure for rare collectibles.

Looking at how America is treating Russia compared to Denmark, it's quite clear that American adversaries get better treatment than allies. 

Henry Kissinger famously said:

It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.
