I was referring to Singapore's PPV - The World Cup Channels. Not
that they were the originators of PPV; they just took money
leeching to new heights.

There's also that horrible term, "Singapore's very own". Wadaya
mean, "Singapore's very own". You mean we have to have our "very
own" for everything? Other people have, we also must have? Super
kiasu copycat, no?
Did you knows :
Did you know Singapore invented 'Minister Mentor'?
Did you know Singaporeans are often not consulted before the
goverment goes ahead with a major decision concerning country's
development? (1 recent eg: casino)
Did you know our ministers are the highest paid in the world, even
more than (impeach my) Bush and other bigwigs?
Did you know that in Singapore, a normal citizen is not allowed to
voice his/her opinions on govt-sensitive issues unless he/she can
offer a solution (or face "consquences")?
Did you know that if you are a very popular Singaporean blogger cum
columnist who voices unhappiness over handling of govt issues, you
will be harshly denounced as a "partisan in politics" and get
suspended from your job, while other pro-govt journalists
mysteriously get away with it?
Did you know our gahmen tells foreign countries that Singaporeans
have no opinions (they obviously never take taxi before)?
Did you know in Singapore, ordinary citizens who decide to settle
abroad are called "quitters", but that doesn't apply to the
children of govt officials?
1st world country? o_0 Sure?
I heard that the civil SERVANT who lambasted Mr Brown got a
promotion shortly. And letters to the press to voice up the
unfairness of his sacking were rejected. One of them I heard was
from a Workers Party cadre.

Do you know that the military WHITE HORSE system is uniquely
Singaporean?
"Prior to year 2000, the term white horse was used to identify
sons of influential persons to ensure that such enlistees were not
given preferential treatment, and that medical classification and
vocational assignment are scrupulously fair. Over the years, the
public has widely accepted that the NS assignment system is fair
and that there is no preferential treatment to anyone. " - Cedric
Foo Chee Keng
Utter bullshit.
