Stop the Steal

What math authors want to tell their local and foreign publishers in Singapore to cease using their content sans their permission in their sample chapters they submit to tender local and foreign projects; to pay them their due royalty when they sell their copyrights at book fairs; and not to rob them, by unscrupulously replacing their names with foreign ones when their textbooks are tailor-made for developing markets.
Singapore will continue to be a first-class economy with a third-class educational publishing industry as long as its unethical publishers pay lip service to stop the steal, with a number of morally corrupt and inept people occupying key positions still around today.

Stop-shoot

A move used by male drivers while a female passenger is in the front passenger seat, where the male driver will unexpectedly put on the brakes.
