Stating the Obvious

Just Stating the Obvious:

• The Government want your money to run their ideas.

• When you want to promote your product, give it away free. Thousands of Singaporeans will rush and even waste their lunch hour queuing up to get it. Some don't even know what they're queuing for.

• When you bring in an interesting and original product, hundreds of unoriginal Singaporeans suddenly have the same business idea as you.

• You realise that there are really no unique food stall business in Singapore, when every food court definately have a chicken rice stall and a fish ball noodle stall. All the same.

• Tired of slaving away in a 9-to-5 job for a pittance like thousands of other Singaporeans, You decide to be 'creative', and operate a push-cart business, like hundreds of similarly 'creative' Singaporeans and their push-cart stalls in the heartland malls, selling the same crap. (soft-toys, watches, bikini etc).

• The most well known Singapore company, Creative, is probably the one of the least creative Mp3 player maker in the world.
  

• If you can't do it, teach it. There's always money to be made somewhere.

• You know a blogger is clutching at straws, content and language wise, when he writes in point form.

• You know a Newspaper is clutching at straws, content wise, when Maia Lee is their new columnist, and that an article about how a deceased ex-president's pet misses its master, can become a half page story (on page 3) in Straits Times. Touching yes, news-worthly? Not really.
