Hmmmmm............. in the year 2100, Singapore will have underwater-sub MRT ... Yahoo : Climate change could force 745,000 Singaporeans underwater Rising sea levels could have disastrous effects on coastal cities around the world, including Singapore, according to results published by Climate Central. The report detailed the implications of different global warming scenarios of 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 degrees Celsius by 2100, and found that carbon emissions causing 4C of warming a business-as-usual scenario could cause Singapores median local sea level to rise 9.5 metres, submerging the homes of 745,000 Singaporeans. This number is based on the 2010 population figure of 4.68 million. Even if carbon emissions were cut, resulting in the proposed international target of 2C warming, there would still be 101,000 Singaporeans affected, with the median local sea level projected to rise 5.1 metres. China, the worlds leading carbon emitter, leads the world in coastal risk, with 145 million people threatened by rising seas if emission levels are not reduced. Global megacities with the top-10 largest threatened populations include Shanghai, Hong Kong, Calcutta, Mumbai, Dhaka, Jakarta, and Hanoi. more stories, link : https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/climate-change-could-force-745-000-singaporeans-underwater-053221746--sector.html Map showing which areas in Singapore at at risk from global warming (in light blue)

I noticed recent my FC gone up. I am clocking 10-15% less distance before topping up. Could it be the hot weather?

Purely my observation... Taxi drivers still FLOORING their vehicles only to stop at the next traffic light then floor again to reach the other traffic light.... likes to keep engine idle in car park while taking a nap or go toilet A lot of private tour bus also likes to idle their buses for long hours. Just yesterday, at my parking lot, there's two lorry drivers taking nap with their engine running At my place, taxi uncles like to park at the car park and use the CC toilet and left their engine running in excess of 30 minutes. All these are $$$ wasted

Hi Was wondering how much is the estimated difference between a second owner car instead of the first owner? Is there sort of any unwritten rules or calculations? Tried asking one dealer but the price is like , quoting "cos you're the 2nd owner else 1st owner give you 5-10k more". Though my car is like only 1 year old and tip-top. Sort of gave up after that.
