Singapore: A cleaned city, not a clean city

| A crisis of cleanliness! |
Singapore: The world's second safest city

There can only be one 'best', right?
(So, if the US and India are now 'best partners', all those long-time US partners like Britain, Australia, Japan, etc, please take a number.)

Yeah. I could have been a Crazy Mountain (Xiaosan)
Then I heard on the radio...
* If your family name is Chng, please don't take on the given name Monica
* One caller said in his old kampung, there were two brothers named Buang and Sampar
* Another caller said during his National Service time, one fellow recruit's name was Major Tan

Finally, from CC, this 'What's in a name?' joke
Mr. Greenberg was an illiterate immigrant, but he worked hard, saved his pennies, and started a small business. It did well, and soon he had enough money to send for the wife and children. The work kept him very busy, so he never had time to learn to write, but the bank was happy to do business with him, even though his signature consisted of two X's.
He prospered, he opened more stores, the kids were transferred to private schools, the family moved into a fancy house (with one staircase going nowhere just for show) you get the idea.
One day his banker, Mr. Smith, asked him to drop by.
"So vat's the problem? Greenberg asked, a bit anxiously.
Smith waved a bunch of checks at him. "Perhaps nothing, he said, "but I wanted to be on the safe side. These recent checks of yours are all signed with 3 X's, but your signature of record has just 2.
Greenberg looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry about making trouble, he said, "but my wife said that since I'm now such a high-class rich guy, I should have a middle name!"
