No, it's Singapore. It is about the money. Tell me you also believe COE and ERP is structured the way it is as congestion control and not revenue generation too?ecureilx wrote: not the tax part .. honestly
there is a lot of 'unkowns' in E-Cig use, as well as a lot of people considering it as a risk-free intro to smoking ..
Most *everything* is made in China. If it's not, some part of it most likely is. How's that for "food for thought"?ecureilx wrote: And on top of all, most E-Cigs are made in China !! that's food for thought I guess
About that, won't it be easier and far more effective to just cap the number of vehicles on the road, right?zzm9980 wrote: No, it's Singapore. It is about the money. Tell me you also believe COE and ERP is structured the way it is as congestion control and not revenue generation too?
Well, i was thinking aloud .. maybe the concern is more towards "consumables" which are more of a health risk (yes, there is concern for smokers .. by ensuring they don't smoke rubbish )zzm9980 wrote:Most *everything* is made in China.

don't make public (ie, on a soap box in orchard road or on your public blog) libelous or defamatory comments.singaus wrote:...I'm mostly worried about freedom of speech issues, specifically Singapore defamation laws and issues such as monitoring the internet for criticism. I'm fairly outspoken and I have very progressive leanings. How much of my behavior will I have to curb, what topics should I avoid (I am already aware that race, politics, religion should be avoided), and how difficult would it be to avoid them? Also, have any of you living in Singapore had any difficulties in watching what you say both in real life and on the internet that you normally would not worry about back in your home countries?
