The Cecanization of Singapore Math

When the quality of Singapore math textbooks and supplementary titles took a beating in the last one and a half decades, because both local and foreign math editors were reporting to their oft-clueless bosses, who were recruited under the Singapore-India “Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement” (CECA), many of whom with quasi-zero understanding of the Singapore educational system and the local educational publishing industry.
It’s hard to estimate the reputational and economic costs suffered by publishing houses in the aftermath of the Cecanization of Singapore Math: resignation of editors, frustration of authors, rejection of textbooks, brand dilution, and the like.

Singapore Sling

The act of shitting into a trashcan because the toilet is occupied, followed by taking the trashbag, swinging it around, and slinging it off a balcony to hide the evidence.
I had to shit so bad in the hotel room and Cate was on the toilet, so I just did the Singapore Sling!

Singapore Shrimp Ring

Having anal sex with a group of women bent over in a circle, sticking their asses up in the air, thus resembling a shrimp ring.
"Man, that orgy was off the hook. These 6 girls all got in a circle and stuck their asses in the air, and I ass-fucked each of them. It was a regular old Singapore Shrimp Ring".

Singapore Math Going Endemic

When most K–12 Singapore math writers would find it almost irresistible not to set questions on Covid-19 and its variants, masks, vaccines, and lockdowns, by adding some context to their content in their new manuscripts, unless their publishers think that it is morbid or a bad omen to do so, by rationalizing that the product of two negatives (people’s fear of math and of the virus) is not a positive in this case.
As Singapore reluctantly lives with Covid, it’s understandable that those who had lost loved ones to Covid-19 have reservations about Singapore math going endemic in this new normal.
