At Casinos like the Marina Bay Sands there is an entrance fee for Singaporean residents but not for foreigners.
It's explicitly designed to incentivize incoming foreign $$ while minimizing the 'moral impact' on citizens.
First of many ways the country seems run by economists. pic.twitter.com/hI1ZMEldOn

You see the term "Pax" everywhere, especially in the context of meal prices like '$40 Pax.'
Basically it translates to "persons" or "per person."

Christmas Decorations go up on November 2nd in Singapore, apparently.
Makes sense - no Thanksgiving to interrupt the Halloween -> Christmas transition. pic.twitter.com/e6z25oD2cK

Christmas parties here are actually called "Christmas Parties" not the PC "Holiday Parties."
Sometimes they actually happen on Christmas

Just discovered that the Singapore Government runs a science discussion group. That's pretty cool.
