Because lately the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been sounding a like it needs a pat on the head and assurance that all is well: SINGAPORE: Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has said it is puzzled by comments made to the media by the former Romanian Chargé d’Affaires linked to a hit-and-run case here… … SINGAPORE: …
That’s the name of the Facebook group dedicated to documenting all the ugly things happening at RWS. It’s kinda new, so maybe you might want to join and contribute.
Update: The contest is now closed It was some time in the 90s, when I came back to Singapore for uni holidays and my friends told me there was an act I had to catch at this place in Bugis. It was rude, raunchy and it was like nothing I’d ever seen before. I loved it, …
