The Straits Times has published an opinion piece by Muslim author Tarek Osman, a recognized expert in Middle East politics.
http://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/the-religion-question-in-the-new-year
Edited to add : The unspoken answer to the question raised in Tarek Osman's article : if all other countries in the world can use Singapore's system, then Islam and Muslims most definitely can co-exist harmoniously with all other religions and secular systems. Singapore has shown it, proven it, exampled it. But as author Tarek Osman and others have pointed out, the Arabic systems are not only (unfortunately) fundamentally different, but most of the warring, violence and victims are Muslims vs Muslims, geopolitical power struggles that masquerade under the guise of Islam vs Islam (eg. Sunni vs Shiite, Saudi Arabia vs Iran, etc). The world would be a much better place for everyone if the Singapore system can be successfully used for all religions and all countries.

"READ THIS BEFORE YOU SHOP FOR CNY MANDARIN ORANGES, FULL OF SULPHUR & CHEMICALS"
https://www.allsingaporestuff.com/article/read-you-shop-cny-mandarin-oranges-full-sulphur-chemicals
Note : it's now spelled sulfur, not sulphur. The Brits (including Cambridge) have agreed to the American spelling. So JC students reading this, don't get penalized, yo.

A surprisingly skilled (military) martial arts scene from the movie Pacific Rim. MMA fighters would recognize the moves, counter-moves and adaptive strategies employed. Nice to see more genuinely skilled mixed martial art scenes in more Hollywood movies these days, outside of Donnie Yen and Jason Bourne movies.

Poor little girl, obviously coerced into doing this.

Borno state police spokesman Victor Isuku, meanwhile, said a second female suicide bomber was caught and lynched by an angry mob.
With the mob extremely furious for their own lives (how would *you* feel?), you can imagine what they did to her, must have been way worse than being blown to bits.

In today's treacherous world, this elderly granppa better be careful not to be abducted and dissected by some shadowy governmental or private NWO groups looking to harvest his anti-aging blood and/or genetics.

Of course, it could simply be due to sheer effort and discipline, as these local Singaporean elderly citizens exemplify.

In the 1st experiment, what's cool is that the slug fragmented into 2 equally lethal parts *in mid air* before reaching the target, *both* fragments subsequently penetrating the solid metal armor. In the 2nd experiment, what's cool is that upon hitting the solid metal armor, the slug fragmented into many dozens of molten metal shrapnel fragments, radiating spectacularly sideways (imagine if you were standing just beside where the slug hit), as illustrated by the explosions of the 2 filled soft drink bottles to the sides of the metal armor. Chemistry note : a "carbide" is a compound composed of carbon and a more electropositive element (eg. a metal), and isn't a metal per se, as erroneously stated by the YouTube video host. But let's not fault him, and appreciate his video making and sharing efforts instead. He can leave the Chemistry checks to us... makes you appreciate taking H2 Chemistry more and more everyday, don't it? ;Þ

Read the visitor comments below the article. Visitors debate whether the article was really written by a Bangladeshi worker, and if so, they weigh the legality and ethics of the dilemma. The Bangladeshi worker feels victimized by a myriad of Singaporeans, from his boss at work, to (taxi and Uber) drivers complaining against him, to MOM and LTA. What do you think?

Such corruption is endemic in many African countries, where the majority of its citizens are suffering from poverty, but the government leaders and political elites are splurging hundreds of millions of dollars (of tax payers money) on their personal luxury.

The young Robert Downey Jr in Marvel's Avengers : Civil War was particularly convincing. Well, it helps that it's older Robert Downey Jr acting as younger Robert Downey Jr, while in contrast Ingvild Deila acted as a young Carrie Fisher, and Guy Henry acted as Peter Cushing.
