I’m not sure that I’ll ever get my head around life in Singapore. News in this morning’s Straights Times described how a man was stopped by police for dropping a cigarette butt. Rather than face the shame of arrest, he ran away from the police and jumped 15m to his death.

Meanwhile, life has a more pleasant side in today’s Bouquets:

STUDENTS HELPED TO GET PUPPY TO SAFETY

On Oct 31, I was travelling along Bukit Timah Road when I saw a lost puppy running along the right-most lane. I pulled over and tried to get the puppy to safety.

A group of Singapore Institute of Management students stopped to help, and tried to keep the puppy away from the road. Thank you, boys!
