Hmmmmmm........ we are at the top again in Asia ... Yahoo news: Only 14% of Malaysian hotels disabled friendly, study finds Only 14% of hotels in Malaysia are accessible for disabled people, while neighbouring Singapore has the most disabled-friendly hotels in Asia at 40%, says a study by hotel booking site Agoda.com. The study, which looked at information provided by more than 600,000 hotels available on the site, found that hotels in the United States are by far the most friendly in the world. “The United States has the highest percentage of accessible hotels for disabled people at 77%, while Laos has the lowest at 1%. The study also found that only 14% of Malaysian hotels were friendly towards them,” said Agoda.com in a press release. Tied at second place were the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, and Portugal, with 55% of hotels in each of the country offering facilities for guests with disabilities, followed by New Zealand (54%), Mauritius (53%), Italy (52%), Puerto Rico (51%) and France (47%) While no Asian country made the top 10 list, Singapore was the highest ranking country in the region, coming in 18th place overall with 50% disabled-friendly hotels. “Many factors influence whether hotels will have accessible facilities, including local laws and regulations, the type of visitors who come to the destination, and the age of most accommodations,” said Agoda.com. “United Arab Emirates, for example, has seen a more than decade-long building boom resulting in many newly-built hotels, which are more likely to be accessible. In the capital, Abu Dhabi, 90% of the hotels have facilities for disabled people.” Meanwhile, five of the 10 destinations at the bottom of the list came from the Asian region, the website said. The 10 countries with the lowest number of accessible accommodations were Uruguay (10%), Vietnam (9%), Nepal (8%), Thailand (8%), Azerbaijan (8%), Cambodia (8%), Bolivia (8%), Georgia (8%), Montenagro (7%), and Laos (1%). Agoda.com said the study included only countries with more than 100 hotels listed on its site, with the data self-reported by hotels. – April 1, 2015.

Singapore is racing to become the most expensive city in the world. Everything must be no 1, i think brain damage. We only have 4 million population (singaporean only) but why we have 500 billion in reserve. Every citizen work like mad, then skin u like a cat. iF population going to 6.9 million , i think as a singaporean we better migrate.

hi guys, my tyres are due for changing soon. Looking towards long lasting ones with good grip, especially during rain. No need to be sports types, just passenger types will do. Any recommendations on the best brand and model to choose from in Singapore? How is Michelin Primacy HP? There are quite a few i'm more interested in, but all not available in Singapore it seems. For example, Michelin HydroEdge and Goodyear Assurance TripleTred. Wonder why Singapore only import so limited models... And by the way, do the tyres usually come with warranty like 6 years or 60000km?

As above.

taken from http://sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/420474 Nordian Cuaca is a 45 year old man who has been escaping Interpol and has been living in Singapore! How could this be? I always thought that the Singapore Government has been taking a tough stance against criminals! But it seems that Cuaca has been living in the Singaporean Haven for the past ten years! Apparently, he has been able to settle down here, setup a company, own two Sentosa Coves properties, starts a family and even owns a Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini in Singapore! I always believe that the Singapore Government has strict immigration laws to prevent criminal from entering, let alone settling down here. How was it possible that he could slip past detection then? In this age of Terrorism, could this mean that Terrorists could also possibly slip past detection and conduct their activities here? As a citizen, I am worried if not terrified at this lapse of national security. But for one thing I

Hi All, Which car park have the most freuquent check by HDB or URA Officers? I had ever spoke to one of the Wilson Parking Officers & he said every 2 hours conduct check even the car parking it is EPS system. Somehow I believe if we enter a coupon parking car park we should be given at least 10 minutes of free parking. Reason is that EPS parking have 10 minute grace period, coupon parking should be entitled to. This area some how is lacking & should be improve to benefit for all the motorists.

Generally on the ground, I find the elderly more negative about their futures. Sitting in older estates kopi tiam can hear alot of stories... Also wondering whats the rational in determining our life starts dropping at 65?

I notice to cut into the bus lane into Plaza Singapura where once I had turned from Buyong Road to Orchard Road especially passed by the Istana. Like not much distance to play in which that one is a Full Day Bus Lane.

Which incident created the most impact in your childhood memory? To me...the Adrian Lim case...scared the shit out of me.. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/remembering-13-most-horrifying-incidents-033000118.html Remembering the 13 Most Horrifying Incidents in Singapore that our young have forgotten Remembering Singapore's Biggest Disasters We always think Singapore is safe. And it is. I can leave my house at 3am and take a stroll around my neighbourhood and reach home at 4am - cold and shivering and feeling stupid. But, safe. With this feeling of security, it is easy to forget that Singapore once suffered its own set of disasters. We just hope that Singaporeans today who never knew about them, don't take our safety for granted. Let's stay diligent and ensure these incidents never repeat again. For history's sake, here are the 13 most horrifying incidents in Singapore that most of our young have not heard about. 1. Bukit Ho Swee Fire (25 May 1961) This fire was Singapore's largest fire in history - taking away four lives, injuring 85 and rendering 16,000 people homeless after 2,200 attap houses were destroyed. Investigations begun afterwards to pinpoint the cause of this mega fire. But yet up to today, no one has found the exact cause of this incident. 2. MacDonald House Bombing (10 March 1965) This incident resurfaced in the news recently, after Indonesia insensitively renamed a corvette warship "Usman-Harun" - after the two commando bombers. We really don't know what prompted Indonesia to make such a decision, and the resulting furore needlessly strained bilateral ties between our countries. Singapore imposed a ban of this ship entering its ports and naval bases. But what was the incident that happened in the first place? Believe it or not, Singapore was victim to this bombing due to Indonesia's unhappiness with Singapore and Malaysia's merger, which they openly opposed. This was a long time ago, in 1965. And to make their point, they sent two commandos to plant the bomb, which resulted in the death of two bank employees and over 33 injured parties. In total, 29 bombs were set off in Singapore but the MacDonald's bombing was by far the most serious. In the end, the two young Indonesia commandos, Harun Said (then 21) and Osman Mohamed Ali (then 23), were caught and hanged in 1968. 3. The Spyros Disaster (12 October 1978) At about 2pm on this day, a Greek tanker "Spyros" exploded at the Jurong shipyard. It killed 76 people in the immediate vicinity and injured hundreds more, making it Singapore's worst accident in terms of lives lost. Many workers who were on their way back to the shipyard were burnt to death while others suffered serious burns and inhalation of toxic gases. This tragic incident lead to an immediate increase of safety regulations at the shipyard. 4. The Murder of the Tan children (6 January 1979) The Geylang Bahru murder case of the Tan childcare shook Singapore. It was one of the most brutal homicides in Singapore history. Their parents had left the house at 6:35am for work. The mother phoned home at 7:10am to remind the children to wake up for school to no avail. Upon arriving home at 10am, they found the four children, aged between 5 to 10, cruelly slashed to death and had their bodies piled up in the bathroom. Police ended up questioning over 100 of the Tan family's neighbours. But till today, no suspects were identified and no weapons were ever recovered. This has to be the most chilling murders ever, but the murderer did appear to have intimate knowledge of the family. 5. The Adrian Lim murders (January/ February 1981) In 1981, police investigations into the murder of two young children, Agnes Ng Siew Heok and Ghazali bin Marzuki led to the capture of three murders: Adrian Lim, wife Catherine Tan Mui Choo and mistress Hoe Kah Hong. Adrian Lim practised rituals as a phoney religion medium, luring women into having sex with him in exchange for beauty or to ward off evil spirits. He manipulated them with lies and deceit and ill-practice, at one point electrocuting one of them. He was finally captured when he was found guilty of killing two children just to draw attention away from his impending rape charge. He lured the children to his home and the trio killed them slowly, drinking their blood and drowning them systematically. The trio tried to plead for insanity but were denied multiple times. They were hanged on 25 November 1988. 6. New World Hotel Disaster (15 March 1986) The six-storey New World Hotel collapsed on 15 March 1986, claiming 33 lives instantly. Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Civil Defence Force and hundreds of volunteers started the task of saving lives and removing rubble from the scene. Thankfully, 17 people were rescued. The tragedy made the nation come together as one, with many offering their help with the plight of the victims' families. There was no conclusive reason as to why the hotel spontaneously collapsed, but the most plausible explanation points to a gas leak explosion. 7. Hijack of Singapore Airlines SQ 117 Singapore Airlines Airbus flight SQ 117 was hijacked by four Pakistanis, who took control of the plane and forced it to land in Singapore. The hijackers made their demand right before their stipulated deadline, specialist Commandos charged into the plane and killed the hijackers, freeing all 118 passengers and 9 crew. None of the passengers and crew were hurt. OH YEA, GO SINGAPORE! 8. Nicoll Highway Collapse (20 April 2004) During construction for the then upcoming SMRT Circle line, a tunnel at Nicoll Highway collapsed when its supporting structure gave way. It led to the largest highway accident in Singapore history. Rescue searches for the surviving workers lasted 3 days with 4 people dead and 3 injured. The construction was subsequently halted for 8 months, with the project director fined $8,000 for negligence. 9. The Escape of Mas Selamat (27 Feburary 2008) Oh yea, this was a disaster. A PR disaster that is. For his escape should never have happened. Mas Selamt Kastari, leader of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the same organisation who tried to take down Yishun MRT Station and several foreign embassies, escaped Whitley Road Detention Centre. It was a desperate national-wide manhunt for him, as rumours of him plotting bomb targets in Singapore and Malaysia spread rapidly. He was captured after a year when he was found chilling in a Village in Johor, Malaysia. He was handed over to Singapore in September 2010. 10. The "Slayers" suicide pact (23 August 2008) b2ap3_thumbnail_slayers.jpg Ku Witaya woke up one day and found out he was able to perform trances, just as his father and grandmother before. He would perform his spiritual trances and decline cash for his services. Things took a turn and Witaya said he had a dream that him and his friends had to become slayers and save the world and the only way to do it is to die and be resurrected as one. He gathered 7 of his friends in a suicide pact and jumped first, holding hands with his best friend of the group. The other 5 backed out when they saw the scene. 11. The Wang Zhi Jian murders (18 September 2008) Wang Zhi Jian had arrived at Singapore for only 10 days when he committed the horrific Yishun murder. He stabbed his girlfriend Zhang Meng multiple times after a quarrel. When her daughter awoke from the commotion, he proceeded to stab her too. Both died from their injuries. Fearing he would be exposed, he then entered a second room to attack another mother-daughter pair. The mother Yang Jie was forced to escape through the kitchen window, falling to her death while her daughter Li Mei Lin was injured badly. He was sentenced to death after a 4-year trial. 12. The Ferrari road accident (12 May 2012) On Saturday morning, China national Ma Chi was speeding in his Ferrari and beating a red light at Victoria Street when he crashed, causing a terrible collision with a taxi and motorcycle. Ma Chi, the taxi driver Cheng Teck Hock and his passenger Shigemi Ito died in the crash. Two others were injured. The footage of the accident uploaded above added to strong anti-foreigner sentiments in Singapore, as we were experiencing a massive foreigner influx in recent years. 13. The Little India riots (8 December 2013) On 8 December 2013, a riot involving over 400 South Asian foreign workers erupted after a bus knocked down and killed an Indian national at the junction of Race Course Road and Hampshire Road. An ambulance was set ablaze and rioters hurled whatever they could find around while several police cars were overturned and burnt. This resulted in 18 injuries and over 30 arrests for rioting. This was Singapore's first major riot in over 20 years and you can read a summary of the Little India Riots curated from social media here. Remembering Singapore's past We live in a safe country yes, but we should never take our nation's peace for granted. So many events from the past have shown us that these horrifying incidents are not so far away after all. But, we have the capability to come together as one in times of disaster and distress. So why not in happiness and prosperity too? Here's a goodbye to all the horrifying incidents of the past. Lets look forward to Singapore's future successes ahead.

Singapore remains a largely conservative society in which pre-marital sex and having a child out of wedlock are still frowned upon. That was the finding of a survey on social morality by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), released on Tuesday. The questions were asked as part of a wider survey of more than 4,000 Singaporeans on race, language and religion. Some 80 per cent of respondents said extra-marital affairs are always or almost always wrong, and 72.5 per cent held that view on getting pregnant before marriage. More than half, or 56.4 per cent of respondents, felt that sex should come after marriage. The survey’s principal investigator, Dr Mathew Mathews, an Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) senior research fellow, said: “Overall, as you can see, Singaporeans are fairly conservative in their outlook to such issues.” The survey asked respondents to indicate how they feel on a range of social issues by choosing whether it is “not wrong most of the time or not wrong at all”, “only wrong sometimes” or “always wrong or almost always wrong”. There was wider acceptance for living with a partner before marriage. Some 33.3 per cent said that it was not wrong most of the time, compared to 44.4 per cent who said it was always wrong. While 22.5 per cent of respondents said that divorce is acceptable, compared to 43.1 per cent who said its always wrong. The survey also asked about attitudes towards homosexual relations. When it came to sexual relations between two adults of the same sex, 78.2 per cent of respondents said it was wrong. And 72.9 per cent did not agree with gay marriage. However, fewer disagreed with gay couples adopting a child, with 61 per cent saying it was wrong or almost always wrong. On gambling, 69.2 per cent of respondents said they are against it. Said Dr Mathews: “Those who claimed to have no religion, Buddhists and Taoists were more liberal than those who are Christian and Muslims. Differences were marginal in some areas with high consensus, such as homosexual relations and sexual affairs, but more pronounced for other areas.” Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/singaporeans-still-largely-conservative-ips-survey-finds-20140128

Singapore remains a largely dishonest society in which pre-marital sex and having a child out of wedlock are still allegedly frowned upon.

Believe it or not, under all the yak bone and gold paint, there is a perfectly good BMW Z4. More pictures have surfaced online of the ridiculously over-accessorised BMW shown at the China International Furniture Fair, held in Guangzhou last week. According to online reports, the ivory dragon that adorns the car was carved from the bones of a mountain yak, and are intricately carved with auspicious symbols, or painted in costly gold paint. The dragon sprawls over the entire car, with the head on the bonnet and wings on the doors, while the legs of the dragon are built around the wheelhouse. Finally, the tail, is arrayed over the boot of the car.

Singapore in 13th position.... Of the 5.4 million peoples, we have 483,392 brilliant ppls... Yahoo news: The 25 Countries With The Most Brainpower Which country has the largest stock of brilliant people ? The answer to this question depends in part on raw brainpower, but also on the size of a country. Exclusively for Business Insider, Dr. Jonathan Wai , a Duke University Talent Identification Program research scientist and psychologist, compiled a new ranking of countries based on scores on the 2009 PISA assessment , which tests reading, math, and science competency in 15-year-olds. Multiple researchers have found that these tests, administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), are a good measure of "g," or general intelligence. In our list, the rank order is based on two things. First, we identified the average percentage of teenagers in each country who achieved the top score of six on math or verbal tests (globally, around the 98th percentile). Second, we cross-referenced this percentage with population to estimate the number of brilliant people per country. This provides a new way of looking at the raw brainpower of each country, not counting the significant effects of immigration and emigration. If you looked only at average scores, you’d find the U.S. is only ranked 24th, near the middle of the pack. But if you then take into account the high-scoring right tail and population, the U.S. is not doing so bad. #11 Italy On average, 1% scored at elite levels 609,200 brilliant people estimated #12 Poland On average, 1.45% scored at elite levels 558,830 brilliant people estimated #13 Singapore On average, 9.10% scored at elite levels 483,392 brilliant people estimated #14 Turkey On average, 0.65 % scored at elite levels 481,000 brilliant people estimated #15 Hong Kong On average, 6.00% scored at elite levels 429,300 brilliant people estimated more stories, link: http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/25-countries-most-brainpower-211349685.html
