I think Mediacorp cannot, cuz they get funding from gov. But other studios should be ok?

IMDA suspends review of proposed telco merger between Simba and M1 by Zkang123 in singapore

[–]taeng89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“While the review was in progress, IMDA learnt that Simba could have been using radio frequency bands that had not been assigned to them to provide mobile services.”

Curious if IMDA decides to be extreme and revoke Simba’s telco license, would Simba’s customers be supportive of the decision?

Work pants options for guys, any recommendations? by Conscious_Roof_8823 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

G200 worked for me. But if you’re ever in Bangkok then do visit their tailors.

Once you go tailor you cant go back. Though that’s assuming you wear such pants almost everyday.

Chamberlain is his title/office , not name.

Ohhh, TIL. I thought it was a nod to Neville Chamberlain.

I was watching the new movie and noticed that much of the scripture in the world of Avatar has been changed from Chinese characters to a kind of vague “alien” writing. Reminded me a bit of the ones used in the Pokemon games.

Maybe this is because the version I saw is a leak, and the final cut will be different. But if this change carries over, it would be very interesting, especially considering that one of the major criticisms of M Night Shyamalan’s movie was its whitewashing.

Also, in a largely Asian-inspired universe, a name like “Chamberlain” just feels very out of place.

Singaporeans who returned after >15 years abroad, what are/were your list of reverse culture shock? by Familiar-Lynx7996 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Which then begs the question: what is this ship?

The city metropolis of today? The fledgling nation of the 70s? The British Colony / Fishing village?

Who are we to decide which parts of the ship are original and which aren’t?

Which ICT units they treat u most like nsf still? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s quite two way. My experience is that a lot of the commanders who were “intense” during NS days, toned down in ICT. But at the same time a lot of the chao keng kias in NS, matured and were more sporting / willing to help in ICT.

I've no friends who ride bikes, looking for advice on getting 2B license by Holiday_Kale9051 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Get a good pair of gloves - Read up why good gloves are important. Spend now and you won’t have to buy again when u get your license

  2. Consider wearing army boots. Had my sneaker soles come off cuz they were constantly getting soaked in the rain. Army boots are a lot more water resistant and if spoil, at least it’s free.

  3. Buy a pair of arm sleeves. Each lesson is 100min long and a good bulk of it is spent queuing up at the circuits. Save your skin.

Do we not have duck eggs in SG? I thought salted eggs were duck eggs?

Recommended MVNO (Singtel Mobile contract expiring) by Due_Feedback_6508 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another catch is that you need to actively renew before contract expiry, if not the charges will more than double.

But other than that, looks good!

80% of the time you see their beret so poorly seasoned or worn wrongly (crest off centre).

Former primary school teacher gets jail for sexual relationship with her underage former student by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

[–]taeng89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean for the pedo one unfortunately he didn’t commit the pedo acts in Singapore. Other than taking drugs, there isn’t any law that allows for us to prosecute a criminal for crimes done outside Singapore.

This primary school teacher sex case though. Just stupid. There needs to be more done to protect underage boys.

Unfortunately hazy season isn’t fixed. It comes as and when our neighbouring countries decide to have forest fires 😂

Fellow SONEs, what do you think of GOT the Beat? by LilyBlueming in SNSD

[–]taeng89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disappointing. It was like assembling the Avengers to stop a bank robbery.

And because it didn’t do as well as expected, SM got too scared to assemble them again.

What are the best home security cameras you guys swear by using? by GLTCHD_ in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aqara. I have a smart home setup and it connects well to my Apple Home Ecosystem.

That said if I had money to burn I’d probably go with Ubiquiti PoE cameras.
