This is a good sign that nationalistic view had taken roots in young citizen mind.

Nationalism is the way and the only way out for Singapore.

Hi Paul,

I believe only someone with strong links to Singapore would make an overtly political message on a historical monument.

However, I could be wrong. Hopefully, the culprit(s) will soon be caught and we will know the truth.

Best regards,

Hi Everyone!

Apart from Gatecrash, EventCliQue is an upcoming ticketing agency in Singapore with quite a few major events under their belts already:

Though their sites now look pretty rudimentary, they sell hard tickets like Sistic do, including events that are not available in

I agree. Single Member Constituencies are a better way to elect leadership than the GRC 'all or nothing' system.

Unluckid,

Absolutely, our leadership must show courage and review policies with an open mind. Not everything from the past is relevant to the &

It all boils down to the quality of the leadership, which has been declining. Ministers without the benefit of a commercial/business background and the 'low life' so to speak. Ministers who allow things to go auto-pilot, on the wrong presumption that the equally highly paid civil servants are corruption-free and that they know their jobs. Linked to this low quality is the sad fact that

You have a good point there Imran. Back in the days the government had the foresight and courage to go against the 'conventional' ensuring our success. Now is the time for them to do so again. The current generation need to have the foresight/hindsight and courage to recognise that the policies they have in place are not working well and to go against the grain set by previous generations

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your comment.

It is good to note your research supports the notion of greater competition in the sector.

Certainly, your proposal sounds interesting given that it benefits both ticket buyers and sellers. It seems like an opportunity for an entrepreneur to pursue seriously, i.e. with a solid business plan, financial models, etc. If the

Hi Imran,
insightful article on the ticketing industry in Singapore. A pity that I come across this article only now.
I just did a preliminary study into SISTIC and gatecrash
A typical 3 shows of 2,000 seats of $80 ticket will cost the promoter about $14,000 (excluding credit card commission charges and all other web banners and marketing banners) The total buyers' booking fee

Hello Ed,

Thank you for reading my blog and taking the time to post a comment.

Regarding the Indus People - as opposed to the 'Ganges people'or those who inhabit the Ganges plain - I refer you to the book, 'The Indus Saga and the Making of Pakistan' by Aitzaz Ahsan. The author makes a cogent argument for the term being applicable to modern day Pakistanis.

2012-10-18T13:16:25.014+08:00

Don't know why you call Pakistanis, 'the Indus people', considering that the Indus is more of an archaic term referring to the Indus valley, etc, which existed a few thousand years ago. And besides this, there is some evidence that the people populating the Indus civilisation were of Dravidian, or south Indian, origin.

Pakistan's history started with the partition. It

Hello,

Good question - my intention was to contrast the rigid approach to conversion endorsed by Singapore's MUIS versus the simple, yet often as intellectually rigorous, process to conversion practised in many other geographies.

Moreover, I believe that Singapore's Sharia courts will not recognize a Muslim convert - for good or bad - unless s/he has undergone the &

Hi,
Just returned from a trip to california and was surprised to know ice cream there (B and J) are so much cheaper than S'pore! Thats why I googled my way here. A pint of B and J was selling US3.99 or US4.99 depending on flavours, thats less than SGD6.50!

The price in Malaysia is false. Once I check the price of Ben & Jerry's in Cold Storage. It cost about RM45-50 for one pint.

I guess we could also find ourselves in Japan where Ben and Jerry's ice cream is almost impossible to find!
