So, I've been accused of being thankless when I point out the
cracks in the upper tiers of S'pore's powerbase and the flaws in
their policies.
So, to show my appreciation to our little red dot, I'll make a
start with stuff that I'm HAPPY about in Singapore:
1. Clean dependable tap-water ALWAYS. S'pore is the only place in
Southeast Asia where I brush my teeth with tap-water.
2. Reliable power supply. Elsewhere in SEAsia, the norm is for
power to come on-and-off ever so often.
3. Personal safety. I've never felt unsafe anywhere in S'pore after
dark, even in seedy Geylang or rowdy Boat Quay. Even in '1st' world
countries, there are usually no-go areas after dark.
4. Being fluent in English. It truly is the international language,
and thanks to MOE for teaching me how to speak/write it
fluently.
5. Having a 2nd language. Many of my Aussies, English, American
friends are fluent only in English. So they are amazed that I can
speak not only English, but Mandarin, chinese dialects, Malay...
Thanks to MOE again.
Anyone to continue?
