NO Foreign Flag on Singapore Soil!

Singapore, like many other countries, bring in foreign talent in a bid to remain competitive and relevant. The expertise they offer is invaluable and as they say, "Knowledge is Power." An influx of intelligent and highly capable individuals stimulate growth to a company and result in better results and savings.

Unfortunately, not all talent brought in from faraway lands contribute to the economy. Some come from far away just to sell pirated VCDs/DVDs. While some try to re-live the bus riding experience in their homeland by sitting three to a seat. Best of all, some even thought they're still at home, opting to sit with their feet up on the MRT, and talking loudly on their mobile phones.

Please respect the soil that you're walking on, and do not fly your flag in public view or Canteen!.
