We gotta make sure it's more commercially successful than those Jack Neo films!

>Electricity demand increased by 33 TWh between FY2023 and FY2025, driven entirely by distributed solar generation, which more than tripled to 51 TWh from 15 TWh during the period. Grid electricity generation fell 3%.

>Distributed solar accounted for 28% of the country's electricity generation in FY2025, up from 10% in FY2023.

The final episode has been unlocked for non-members!

At the end it says "To Be Continued" so I wonder if there'll be a season 2? Everything was wrapped up quite nicely though. Maybe a season 2 would revolve around different characters in the same universe?

More green spaces sounds great, I think Orchard Road desperately needs to be more "orchard" and less "road".

But where is it going to be if the Paterson area is going to be fully built up?

It's also been years since the plan to pedestrianise a small stretch of road was mooted, yet the last time I was at Orchard I didn't see any progress.

>Stamford Land’s senior vice-president of special projects Derek Goh argued that the rezoning of land in the Paterson area was a missed opportunity to create a public park of meaningful size in the centre of the Orchard Road strip.

>The Paterson area has been earmarked for about 1,000 new private homes, alongside a mixed-use hub with retail and office space, as well as public spaces. The government is also studying plans for a park in the area.

>Goh said: “Paterson is uniquely positioned within Orchard’s core activity belt, where footfall is highest and where a central green space would have the greatest impact.

>“This is a rare opportunity. Once these plots are built up, the chance to create meaningful green space in central Orchard will be permanently lost.”

>Singapore “needs a bold idea”, he added, “beyond just adding more commercial space and some pocket parks”.

>The government plans to pedestrianise a 500 m stretch from Buyong Road to Handy Road, expanding Istana Park to three times its current size.

>Goh believes a park at Paterson Road would be a more practical option as the land is already vacant and sits within Orchard Road’s core activity belt.

>“I’m not saying don’t build any homes at all. I’m just saying set aside a considerable portion for a big park. Maybe not the scale of the Botanic Gardens, but something close to it, like Hyde Park in London, for instance – that’s a good example.”

>Hyde Park, a long stretch of green that has become a tourist destination in itself, runs parallel to London’s main shopping belt, Oxford Street.

I am so HYPED for this drama! According to Chinese Wikipedia, production is expected to be completed in 2027.

In case you don't use Facebook, there's a TON of bugs and features that are broken. The search feature has been useless for many many years.

​

How is it still broken after so many years? Yet people keep using it?

How is a feature as essential as search hasn't been fixed even though they have massive development teams?

​

What are some lessons to be learned here?

A decline of 27% YoY and 42% QoQ.

Good going Thailand!
