    Great kid and attitude! I hope he continues to succeed in Singapore and that the Singapore government will give him a citizenship. Asides, Singapore is international, more international than any Western capital in all honesty. Singapore has 4 major civilizational streams: Western, Chinese, Indian, and Muslim. No Western capital can genuinely boast peoples from these four major civilizations living together in harmony. Singapore does not have everything, but I think Singaporeans work hard every day to have everything--security, health, housing, family.

    bro lev, not sure if you'll see this - issue with not leashing your dog is that if your dog goes up to a reactive bigger dog, your dog can get bit and the other dog's owner can't do anything to stop it.
    I've got a big dog and it's reactive to certain dogs, so I hate the anxiety that comes from seeing dogs that are unleashed. had a couple of encounters where the dog gets into my dog's face and there's just no way to control the situation.
    it's a 'it's for your dog's safety, not mine' situation.
