The Straits Times reported today that a wild animal has been spotted in its natural habitat at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.

How shocking!

Because shouldn't all wild animals be in the zoo instead?

 

2. Promote safe cycling by becoming a road hazard

In a bid to promote safe cycling, some 300 Yuhua residents took part in a mass cycling event.

What a great way to endear your community of cyclists to the public by hogging the road.

What a great example of "How Not To Cycle".

 

3. Diners who go to restaurants encouraged to take-away because labour crunch

In news that will definitely pile on the festive cheer: Diners looking to eat out are encouraged to buy food home to eat during festive season because labour crunch.

I get to eat at home after I go out!

With 5 million people in Singapore, you'd think there is someone left in the restaurant service line to dish out your food.

 

4. Singapore has limited resources, so let's make sure talent moves to Hong Kong

To ensure Singapore remains globally competitive and a hotbed for talent, National University of Singapore law professor and alumnus Michael Hor is moving to Hong Kong.

Prof Hor spent 34 years in NUS, both as a student and later as a professor.

Great, let's import more talent to take his place -- but make sure not enough of them works in restaurant kitchens.
