Singapore

Math educators’ promised land that combines the best practices of math education from the East and the West—one such concoction is the “model method,” the problem-solving heuristic that has had global appeal, especially among homeschoolers in the US, in solving challenging word problems that would traditionally need formal algebra for their solutions.

Due to their stand on democracy and freedom of speech, a number of American educators have stood firm in rejecting Singapore math, although they acknowledged that the math curriculum of the “fine” city is a superior one compared to those used in a number of US states in helping to raise the quantitative literacy of the students.

Football Association of Singapore

A joke.
The Football (soccer) Association of Singapore (FAS) is basically the worst organization in the history of sports. You could probably hire a cockroach as it's CEO and there would be no difference. Similarly, if you replace the whole football team with slugs, you would get the same results as they are getting now. The only difference is that slugs can't smoke.

Coach 1: "My football team has just lost it's 50th game in a row"
Coach 2: "Ah, at least it is still better than the Football Association of Singapore"
