Buoys demarcating the borders of the Republic of Singapore and Malaysia (taken from Singapore)

Coordinates demarcate the boundaries of the two sovereign nations

Buildings go right up to the shore in Singapore. There's a university right next to those buildings.

About a mile or 1.5km away, a minute or two on a jetski if you need that perspective

🇸🇬 to 🇹🇷🇳🇱[🇬🇧]🇩🇪🇺🇸🇦🇹

First 5 ever postcrossing cards + 1 to the UK to fulfil a request

I just found out about this postcrossing thing after searching "postcard exchange" on the 13th of May, went out finding postcards, went to the post office for the second time ever, and mailed them out today. Had to learn how to write in Turkish and German for addresses and how to stick stamps.

I'm neurodivergent and this stimulates my brain very nicely and I can see why people like doing this 😭😭

How much does postage cost in your country for a postcard? Just trying to get a sense

I've just got into postcrossing and just wanted to get a sense of the postage price for postcards (I want to do a few direct exchanges sometime soon)

In Singapore here, it costs 85 cents SGD to send a postcard anywhere in the world 🌍, 67 cents American, 57 cents Euro, and 50 pence. I don't believe there are any exceptions, every single country on Earth for a 50p coin.

Sending a postcard within Singapore would be 62 cents SGD. 50 cents American, 42 cents Euro, 36 pence.

Edit: SingPost (our postal service) distinguishes between postcards and letters for international. I

Edit: hearing postage intl. cost 3-4SGD is crazy 😭 though i love that despite this so many people still do it, it's beautiful

Has gender rights been backsliding in Singapore & where to organize? (With regards to recent Gender Dysphoria treatments)

I personally only heard of the repeal of 377A about 3 years ago and since then I have not been informed about anything within the SG-LGBTQ rights sphere. I recently came across this recent release by MOH where they were restricting GD treatment on Twitter but couldn't find it since.. 😅

I have a few questions,

Has gender rights been backsliding more and more? Or is this a more recent, unexpected incursion?

It is to my understanding that pro-family conservatives have been advocating for restrictions on gender discourse, and if I remember correctly the head of one of the film review bureaus was a religious family conservative.

And where to get organized? I was recently at the Labor Day rally but I did not manage to speak to the LGBTQ collectives there. I do believe however that my struggles are aligned, we all stand to lose dearly if we don't organize. Are there any organizations where straight folk like myself can assist? Or at least follow up, share, stay informed etc?

Any help is much appreciated!

Yesterday my Malaysian friend sent me a video of a bunch of well-intentioned but perhaps not so smart bunch flipping a car that was upside down back up, and then all the way upside down again to the longkang.

This happened in Port Klang. i also hear of shootings there every week. Gang violence?

Does the danger level scale once you leave KL? KL very safe, Petaling Jaya is safe, Shah Alam 50/50, Klang dangerous and then once you get all the way to Port Klang you are destined to face some horrible shit.

I'm from Singapore and we have the hood here in Yishun. Nothing compared to what I'm seeing coming out of Klang tho oh my 😭😭

(On a serious note is Shah Alam area safe, I really want to go and learn more about the Blue Mosque but after seeing what goes on even remotely near Klang I'm speechless.. )
