If you remember reading the post that I wrote about a donor who got a parking summon after parking beyond the time stipulated on his coupons, then you’d remember that he was… well, self-pwned in that URA gave their side of the story on the timing that was stated on the coupon and insinuated that ...

Yes, despite all the brouhaha, despite all the threats to ever stop taking taxis in their whole lives, Singaporeans have succumbed to the fare hikes of the cabs and have resumed taking taxis as their daily means of transport.

In fact, some have wondered if their failure to get a HDB flat has anything to do ...
