Singapore National Education

Continuing with his hilarious series exploring Singapore's bizarre policies (and its makers), trends and events, mr brown presents Singapore National Education #108.

Excerpts:

#23. That Singapore may not be able to win any Olympic medals worth a damn, but by golly we are great at getting ourselves in to the Guinness World of Records, like for bursting 3,137 balloons in 10 seconds on 24 July 2005, beating the previous record set in Hong Kong, of 2,477 balloons in 10 seconds.

and

#25. That Singapore should try to be the Peanut Hub. Based on the Singapore peanut exchange rate, 1 peanut = S$600,000.
So the $400,000 rebranding exercise for Marina Bay (part of this project resulted in Marina Bay to be renamed... Marina Bay), it only cost 2/3 of a peanut.
