They will very literally get cancelled by local government before any nutjob in the public gets to them.
If you skim the guidelines in the document I linked, one of the things artistes must do is submit a copy of all of their lyrics to be checked for inappropriate content. Then there's the clothing guidelines for male and female artistes, behavior guidelines, topic restrictions in banter etc.
After you pass all that, your ticket prices have to be adjusted to the local currency and buying power of the local market. 30% of your crew has to be local (understandable stipulation, but for Singapore you only need minimum 1 local to be hired and paid full salary to scale).
End of the day, we might have the facilities and expertise needed to mount a show, but the hassle is too much for too little return.
A part of me suspects that it's also a lot more troublesome to apply to perform in Malaysia. The last time I checked, the organising company in Singapore just needs to have the right entertainment license and they can easily apply for a work permit for artists. Whereas Malaysia has this 39 page beauty.
And if you're holding your concert in Sabah/Sarawak you have to submit your application twice to PUSPAL and the state government. Yeah, it's not looking good for us.
We all know schools are so ineffectual when it comes to that and the students interviewed seem to have very well thought out and nuanced views on the issue.
I think the opinions of the students should hold more weight over that of the teachers and parents here. If they are alright with uniforms but want more relaxed hairstyle rules, that should be the way to go.
On the subject of parenting classes though, YES GOD PLEASE SOMEBODY DO IT.
I understand the kids, nobody wants to open up new avenues for bullying.
Diamond earrings from one. A purse in the shape of Luna from Sailor Moon from another.
These studio execs are absolutely disgusting.
I think that's a little bit more difficult since most people want to trade. Sometimes someone will put their collection on google drive and share via links on tumblr or twitter, but those occasions are few and far in between.
Ooh, fun fact! Did you know the It Ain't Much But It's Honest Work meme guy was a proponent of no till farming and was a leader in the movement advocating for and utilizing the farming practices suggested in this article?
Dave Brandt passed away in May this year, but his honest work? It meant so much.
According to the article, permanent alimony is granted only if the receiver agrees to give up other assets in exchange. So it's more of a trade.
Oh, for that use case then Twitter is a bit different. Information on Twitter moves fast and you can get quick, bite-sized updates on a company or event (via tags) much quicker than most sites. The ease of sharing information made it very popular for things like announcing updates on website/app down times or catching up on election news for example.
I remember this case, so glad that their families have finally gotten some closure. The treatment of Orang Asal in this country is just shameful.
