Singapore is more than a mere tourist destination of choice. Ever wondered the unspoken “why Singapore?” for businessmen and long-term foreign residents?

Get the Why Singapore? mug.The sociological equivalent of “Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid”—the unspoken observation about two neighboring frenemies, who are afraid of losing out and who are afraid of dying.
The foreign publisher is consulting its lawyers on whether the Singapore government might ban the sale of “Singaporeans Are Kiasu, Malaysians Are Kiasi,” which pokes fun at the idiocies and idiosyncrasies of Singaporeans and Malaysians.

Get the Singaporeans Are Kiasu, Malaysians Are Kiasi mug.A country located 300 KM from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Singapore is separated from Malaysia by the Straight of Johor (Johor is a state in Malaysia). To the north is the city of Johor Bahru, and to the south of the Johor-Singapore Causeway (the bridge linking Malaysia and Singapore) is the Woodlands District. Singapore is a 1st world country and the President of Singapore is Tony Tan Keng Yam. Singapore is mainly known for it strict laws (ex. No gay people, no gum chewing, and no porn) But it is known for its famous shopping centers such as Orchard Road and the Marina Bay Sands Shopping Center.
Singapore is known for its Excellent Education System. I recently moved from Niles, Illinois (I went to Niles North High School ) to Tanjong Pagar, Singapore, and I could not survive at my new school (Anderson Junior College) even though I had a 3.9 GPA back in Illinois ( I have about what is equal to a 2.4 GPA in the US.) Right now they are teaching me about the Binomial Theorem when I just learned about the Pythagorean Theorem.
Offical Languages are Tamil, Hokkien/Cantonese, Malay, and Singaporean Colloquial English/British English
Singapore is the best country I have ever been too (Ive been to Cambodia, Laos, Hong Kong, China, Macau, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand) and it is a country I hope you will truly enjoy it as much as I do.

Get the Singapore mug.When the methodology and pedagogy used in Singapore math textbooks and supplementary titles (foreign and local editions) at the same grade are believed or perceived to be equivalent, yet the level of difficulty of the brain-unfriendly questions in both editions differs significantly—the tailor-made overseas editions are often one or two grades lower than the local one.
US math educators need to take note of the same-same-but-different Singapore math titles to temper their expectations of their students’ mathematical proficiency compared to that of their Singaporean counterparts.

Get the Same-Same-But-Different Singapore Math mug.A discount of not less than 19 percent for any buyer of math titles in Singapore, who has been jabbed by WHO-approved vaccines, as long as they show proof of their inoculation at the time of purchase.
To encourage vaccination among the population, especially among those who wished not to be inoculated because of potential side effects or premature death, local publishers in Singapore are resorting to creative marketing to promote a number of their dated Singapore MathⓋ titles.

Get the Singapore MathⓋ mug.Arguably the libel capital of the world, where democracy or freedom of speech is ranked very low among developed countries, and political persecution or defamation for contempt of court very high for anyone who dares to publish content critical of the government.
The number of Singaporeans and foreign journalists threatened with a lawsuit in recent years has been on the rise, as authorities often use dated colonial or internal security laws as a pretext for maintaining religious or racial harmony to silence and punish political critics.

Get the Singapore mug.The 7 Knots of Singapore is a sex tool that a guy can use to give his sex buddy an historic cumgasm. One guy ties seven large knots in a cord or rope, and inserts them into another dude's asshole. Then, he begins to slowly jack off the dude, and when he almost reaches the point of no return - he pulls the knots out one by one - - the dude has at least a tit-gasm, but maybe paints the wall behind him.
I'm still in a daze -- last night, Matt gave me the 7 Knots of Singapore, and my head is still spinning!
