Somebody once posed a question on what would be the best invention in the world. MM Lee's reply was that it was either aircon or glasses (I can't remember) because they make people more productive in work...this doesn't require further exposition.
The former is self-contained in salience since Singapore is a tropical country..... a point which a Russian mayor is simply too eager to stress this point in putting down Singapore when vying to be the host for Youth Olympics when she said "Heat and humidity are definitely big risk factors and, taking into account that the games will be staged in the summer, Moscow looks a more preferable choice than Singapore". Singapore's hackles raised instantly but decided that any reprisal antics is not in the spirit of the Olympics. If we were allowed to have our way (and that means unfettered "freedom of speech"), I bet we would say, "Horniness and HIV are definitely big risk factors and, taking into account that the gamers may be enticed by "cheap migrant workers", Sing looks a more preferable choice than Mos".
Of course, let me not stray too far from what I intend to post here, for my vote for the greatest inventions would be ryanair!! Yup, ryanair would save millions if not billions of people's grace when relatives, friends and family could be invited to weddings especially elaborate traditional Indian weddings.
Of course, all these recommendations stem from the latest controversy over a recent Ryanair ad featuring French President Sarkozy and his girlfriend. In an ad in French, the advert shows a thought bubble from the ex-model showing "With ryanair, ALL my family can attend my marriage". ("Avec ryanair, toutes ma famille peut venir assister a mon mariage")
Isn't it fantastic? If not for the prestigious ryanair that offers out-of-the-word travelling experience, this former model would be so humiliated since she would lose face having to pay her family members to endure in cheap SIA business or first class seats.
If it's me, what would I be a victim of huhhh???? Maybe an ad would show me musing, "With ryanair, ALL my world's fans can attend my wedding"... and I would sue ryanair for.. erm...well one Sing dollar!
