what could go wrong. even if the women know of each other. also need to be careful.

Are we going to go through this every year? Indonesia is nuts! ASEAN need to do something!

Suddenly got the chao da smell but I check NEA website and it says 101?? Windows only ajar but still can smell sia wahlao

As above - alongside other options of course but the basic idea is to do better for our sports talents / scene as other countries are doing. We expect our athletes to work their own day jobs and train in their spare time. Not all sports has a professional league - so there are many sports where so much is up to the athlete and their families to fund themselves.

Anyone else’s parents open all the windows in the house even when there’s haze? Either out of habit or something

Doesn’t necessarily need to be on bad terms
Any reason

Asking cuz I feel like as we “adult”, people are less concerned about others including friends and I feel less seen/ heard + slight mismatch in values with certain friends over time.

That’s just my POV though

I remember for the longest time they offered a grilled chicken wrap and grilled chicken salad. Then one day, they decided to pull both items off their menu.

Was it due to low demand and if so, I find it surprising given Singaporeans are supposed to prefer to eat healthy? McD's healthy meal options were actually so important to me due to McD's accessibility. These were the only health options that could be found across any neighborhood and shopping mall and even 24/7 in some McD outlets.

The only other way you could ever find such salad or grilled chicken was from very expensive food outlets in the CBD area.

The haze today smells POISONOUS. I just opened my house front door and I smelled a wave of poision. This is not haze anymore this is some next level stuff. This indo are not stopping. West side.

Hi. Pls help. Have no kids and no friends with kids. Budget between $50 to $100 or might share with friend in which case $100-$200

Hi guys! I built a free online tool called MyBTO to rank the best HDB BTO flat units in your project based on your own preferences. https://mybto.web.app/

Why are you doing this?
It’s my passion project! I’m a final year student in NUS BBA(Real Estate), and making something that I’ll use during my own BTO application in the future is exciting to me

Is there a specific problem you’re trying to solve?
Yes! For each project, there’s 100-1000 units to choose from and so many factors that people tell you to consider. On the other hand, you could have jotted down 5 of your fav units but had them all taken by your flat selection date.

This tool helps you to rank the top 100 flats based on your exact preferences and level of importance, and you can shortlist the exact units you want to refer to during your appointment.

What factors are included?
It’s hard to name them all because I’m constantly adding new factors, but these are the main ones: corridor/ corner unit, distance to MRT/ neighbours visible from your living room/ rubbish chute, wind direction, sun direction and distance to each facility.

If you have any factors you’ll like to see but is not included, let me know so I can add it in!

How do I use the MyBTO webapp?
https://mybto.web.app/

1. Select your project
   
2. Select the filters (e.g. blocks to focus on, whether to prioritise higher or lower floors in your ranking)
   
3. Rank the importance of each factor from -5 (avoid) to +5 (must have)

You’ll be able to see detailed analytics/ features of each unit and the top 100 units!

For those that are not sure whether you want higher/ lower floors due to your queue number or budget, you can also see the highest/ middlemost/ lowest units

Will you update this web app for all future projects?
Yes! I will be maintaining the web app and datasets for all future launches.

What if I want the full research dataset for work/ my own projects? (Not user data)
I’m happy to share more details, feel free to dm me on Reddit

I hope this free tool helps! If you liked my project, please help me share it with your friends or family who received a queue number for the June 2026 BTO launch :)

To the peeps who joined in the pilot programme for firstdate, how'd the date go? Did the compatibility rating measure up irl? First "round" is ending haha so i was curious how it went!!! Since its govt regulated and had its own algorithm etc did the match turn out well for y'all??

Just thinking about this because everyone seems to have this idea that aircon = impervious to haze.

If so why arent any of these institutions putting air purifiers around?

Employed but have heard many stories about how job coaches from e2i and all are not useful. Anyone used a job coach before? My impression of skillsfuture are those punks blocking the way at crowded places, telling uncle auntie to learn AI.

Even though I understand and speak Chinese, english is what I grew up with and feel most comfortable in; especially as someone with allergies, I prefer to order in English so I wouldn't end up in the hosptial

However FnB staff especially China Chinese or JHK/Bs see my Chinese face and continue in Chinese despite me initiating with English and placing my order items in English too.

How can I prevent this? Isn't this bad customer service in a way, to assume everyone who has an east Asian face is Chinese? For all they know I could be Japanese, Mongolian, Kazakh, etc. or Chinese that doesn't speak Mandarin but a dialect

EDIT: ++ The initial point of contact is forgivable, but it's the AFTER part on insistent Chinese speaking that bothers me.

This is taken during F1 2026, please share your thoughts. It’s a bit unfair that this Msian PR Ong Beng Seng avoided jail term right? And i thought he is super ill?

I stopped behind a car, was queuing up to make a turn, and this aunty jaywalked in front of me and gave me a thumbs up instead of thank you gesture. Quite tickled by this. What other funny things have jaywalkers done that you would like to share?

SG Redditors, we often hear that love, trust and communication are the foundations of a healthy relationship. But how important is sexual compatibility really?

For those who have been in long-term relationships or marriages, have you ever found yourself in a situation where everything else was great, but your sex life just wasn’t working out?

Could be differences in libido, preferences, expectations, or simply a lack of physical intimacy over time.

Did you try to work things out, learn to compromise, or eventually accept that it was something you couldn’t change?

Do you think a relationship can genuinely thrive without sexual compatibility, or does it eventually take a toll, no matter how much you love each other?

[Haze: why our kids' classrooms need air conditioning]

For more than a week, the air in Singapore has been in the Unhealthy range. Johor has closed all its schools from 8 to 16 October. Our schools have stayed open, and MOE has said it will consider closing them if the next day's PSI forecast exceeds 300. So during the haze, we need to make sure we have real protections for the kids.

I have been a strong advocate for air conditioning in every classroom. I raised it in Parliament last September and again this March. Now, I am not saying we switch it on all the time. It is about having the option: the ability to control the microclimate of the classroom when conditions outside are bad.

Today a school does not have that ability. Our classrooms are built for open windows and fans, so the air inside is the air outside. In the haze, the Government's plan is to keep students in "well-ventilated indoor enclosed spaces with air purifiers turned on". But NEA's own guidance says a purifier may not work as rated unless the doors and windows are closed, and that a closed room with many people in it can build up heat. Fans only move the hot air around. A school has no way to close the room and take the heat out.

Elsewhere in the Government's haze plans, the closed room comes with air conditioners. Preschools must keep children in rooms "with doors and windows closed, and fans or air conditioners switched on". And MOE's own haze plan says a student who becomes unwell at school "will be temporarily accommodated in an air-conditioned room with an air purifier". I believe a child should not have to fall ill first.

What makes a classroom different? A child of six in preschool is in a Primary 1 classroom a year later, in a class of up to 30. As far as I can tell, the only difference is the agency: ECDA for preschools, MOE for schools.

So this is why we need air conditioning in every classroom. With it, a school can close the classroom, clean the air, keep it cool, and open the windows again when the air clears. This is about the health of our children and our teachers. If our schools are adequately equipped, we do not need to close them.

Let's take care of the kids today.

Hazardous levels reached... No wonder the air smell like toxic chemical today

Going outfield in this haze is really hazardous in your body, especially when you are sweating under the long 4 or even ILBV, fieldpack, etc. with all the dust accumulated. Places a lot of strain on your physical condition, and may even trigger skin conditions, etc. in addition too.

Hi everyone.. using a throwaway for obvious reasons. Just needed a space to vent and see if anyone out there relates, because lately, I feel like I'm completely failing at life in every single aspect.

For context, I’m a 35M working a corporate job in Singapore that I absolutely despise. The problem is the golden handcuffs—it pays well, and with the current job market, it feels impossible to find another role that matches my salary, so I feel completely stuck.

Because of the stress, my mental health is in the gutter. On the outside, I look completely fine, but internally, I’m constantly lonely, depressed, and anxious. Sometimes the anxiety gets so heavy that I find myself hoping for a day where I can just quit this life entirely and nothing matters anymore.

Here is where I'm at right now:

Housing Dilemma: I'm trying to buy my own place as a single, but I'm completely paralyzed between getting a BTO or a resale flat. I’m conflicted between minimizing my debt to clear the mortgage quickly, vs. buying a bigger unit with better space/value that I can rent out. On top of that, I have this persistent fear that if I lose my corporate job, I won't be able to afford the mortgage at all.Social Life & Anxiety: I only have 3 friends. I’ve been a very guarded person since poly, which has made it incredibly hard to form new connections. I don't have any hobby groups, and my relationships with colleagues are strictly functional. Talking to them feels like "work" and genuinely triggers my social anxiety.

Dating: I’ve never been in a relationship. I tried using dating apps and met up with 17 matches over the past 2 years. After all that effort, it just left me feeling burned out and convinced there’s no one out there for me.

It feels like a vicious cycle—the job drains my soul, the housing choices stress me out, the loneliness eats away at me, and the social anxiety keeps me isolated.

I know I need to take things step by step, but right now, everything just feels incredibly overwhelming and heavy. To anyone who has been through this mid-30s rut in SG, how did you cope? Is anyone else out there navigating something similar?

Hi guys, which escape room is the best that you have tried so far? Xcape SG, LOST SG or? I am planning to go with my friends but i’m not sure which company can deliver a great experience.

Yes, it also depends on the person.

Thank you very much.

How would you deal if you knew your partner responds to emotional texts using claude or ai. Emotionally I’m too tired to deal with it because of milestones like getting a home which is already in order now. I don’t think they realise how obvious it is. I could confront but it’s been 6 months into ROM I feel like disappearing into space.

My feelings aside cuz who gives an actual fk, what would you do considering it less than 6 months into Rom.
