Poppy Appeal - Where To Donate
If anyone is wondering where you can donate and get a Poppy from I know a couple of places, one in Siglap East Coast and another in the CBD. There are many places you can actually get from so PM and I'll let you know where these places are.

Really starting to tread on thin ice.
Which reminds me, ksl may show up as well as I think he's either back or gonna be back later this month, but he will be dry due to his health problems.

are you serious?beppi wrote:Poppy seeds are illegal in Singapore!
However, you can get them at some Burmese shops in Peninsular Plaza - not on display, you have to ask at the counter. These are the white (Indian) kind, not the black (European) variety, which I found nowhere.
my wife just fedex'ed (delivered in 3 days) a giant box of bar soaps from the US... including, i believe, 5 or 8 bars of soap with a good dose of black poppy seeds on the top.
she asked me last week before placing an order if they were illegal and i told her "no."
Yes I've been told this as well.beppi wrote:I am serious!
Because of Singapore's very strict anti-drug rules, and poppy's relation to drugs (not all seeds contain opium, but a custom's officer cannot tell), they are banned altogether.
p.s. Though I can't say I've ever met anyone stupid enough to try and get high by eating poppy seed. What next they outlaw hemp rope, or nutmeg (good source of amphetamine, if you eat enough of it)
To be precised they are not banned per se and can be imported but you will need a proof of analysis that the opium (controlled substances) content is below the restricted level.beppi wrote:I am serious!
