Wanna be the PM of Thailand?

Then we will sue you! Sue until there is no one else to sue!

Just imagine this taking place in Singapore. It is akin to Worker’s Party suing the PM. And succeeding!

KL minister: Go passportless

Posted by: adriantan on: September 29, 2008

I like what Mr Philip Tang had to say about this
JOHOR BARU, MALAYSIA - Malaysia and Singapore should consider
passportless travel to increase tourism, said Tourism Minister Azalina
Othman.
She said that an informal and open entry system would be more
convenient for tourists from Singapore, as half of the 14.1 million

F1 Night Race in Singapore

Posted by: adriantan on: September 28, 2008

For once I watched F1 telecast for more than 2 minutes and this is without any crashes since it is only the qualifying.
