10 years of education to survive in a education system that only encourages rote memorization and conformity without questioning. 2 years of NS to set us back in our career. 30 years of working in a environment that protects foreigners that allow them to get into cushy jobs without protection for Singaporeans.

A netizen spotted this post on an expatriate forum for expats based in Singapore.

Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, Judge of Appeal Chao Hick Tin and Justice See Kee Oon have set down new law benchmarks to impose harsher penalties on Singaporeans who default on their national service obligations.

A netizen spotted this Singapore flag clearly displayed in the wrong direction at our very own Changi Airport. In case you think the photo was flipped, look again - the panel of text on the left is not flipped at all.
