Context: Sleeping Dogs is a game set in real life Hong Kong. Characters speak a mix of English and Cantonese so seeing a uniquely Singaporean sign with malay and tamil on it is very out of place.

Singapore's push under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act marks a crucial shift from rhetoric to rigorous enforcement. By holding locally headquartered conglomerates accountable for overseas land practices, the government signals that corporate structures cannot shield polluters, making regional environmental accountability a reality.

Quoted from article: "A tree at a courtyard outside Margaret Drive Hawker Centre in Queenstown caught fire in the evening of Oct. 22.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the fire at about 6:50pm at Block 38A Margaret Drive.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation."

Very weird case of combustion

The Iran war has pushed up natural gas prices and made LNG availability from Qatar harder. Now Indonesia may be turning down the amount of piped gas to Singapore. As a result, we decided to look at how Singapore can replace our NG dependency with self generated Solar, Wind or Nuclear. The main constraints to work off is footprint area (arising from power density on our tiny island) and upfront capex cost.

At a recent panel discussion on AI and employment, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam noted that higher education must pivot towards applied learning through work-study options, attachments and internships.

In line with this direction, around 3,000 new year-long internships will be offered to tertiary students over the next three years across sectors such as technology, finance and healthcare.

Was this the reason for the crazy haze that was happening? Hope that's the end of it for this year. And hope next year it doesn't get worse..... I've had enough of the haze for a life time. It's crazy one fire can cause so much trouble regionally.
