'Remove straws but still using plastic cups?' Starbucks patrons riled up over coffee chain's move

Starbucks Singapore will be removing straws from their condiment bars, and customers are not happy about it. The coffee chain announced the news on their social media platforms on April 17. «Starting April 22, we'll be omitting straws from our condiment bar — a small change that goes a long way.

Executive director of the Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CAPRI) Dr Damien King hopes Jamaica never strikes commercially viable oil – and he means it. King, a former lecturer in economics at the University of the West Indies, fears what development economists call the ‘resource curse’ – a pattern in which the discovery of natural resources weakens, rather than strengthens, a country’s institutions and governance.

Migrant worker tattoos Lee Kuan Yew on neck to honour the country that changed his life: 'First pain, now gain'

A migrant worker who wanted a portrait of Lee Kuan Yew tattooed on his neck was initially turned away by a tattoo artist — who asked him to return the next day “to see if he was serious”.He did.On April 12, 38-year-old air-conditioning technician Sugumar Surendran visited a tattoo studio along North Bridge Road with a bold request: to ink Singapore's founding father's image on his neck.Speaking to Stomp, Surendran, who arrived from Tamil Nadu, India at 18 and has since worked across various companies as an air-conditioning technician, said he admires Lee for building Singapore into what he calls a «golden country», where laws ensure fairness and equality.Widely regarded as the architect of modern Singapore, Lee led the nation through its uncertain early years after independence in 1965 — a period he later described as his greatest political setback.Yet it also steeled his resolve. In the weeks after separation, he urged Singaporeans to press on: «This is not a country that belongs to any single community… Ten years from now, this will be a metropolis. Never fear!»It is this sense of determination that resonates with Surendran.

Some Singaporeans adjust spending amid Iran war, but hold on to comforts like air-con

Since the outbreak of the Iran war, Vignesh Kumaravel's quantitative trading models have struggled to perform due to «extreme volatility» in global stock markets.The quant finance professional, whose job involves coding systems to turn market signals into profits, said that higher prices have also hit him personally. He and some Vietnamese friends cancelled a trip to Kuala Lumpur after short-haul airfares doubled.«For now, I haven't changed my daily habits or food choices, but I am definitely being more careful with extra spending,» said the 26-year-old.Just as Vignesh fine-tunes his trading algorithms, Singaporeans are adapting their daily routines to cope with the higher prices unleashed by fighting in the Middle East.The Feb 28 air strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel triggered a series of retaliatory responses that have damaged oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf, as well as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.

At one point, he loses his balance and falls onto the floor, losing one of his slippers. He gets up and tries to wear his slipper, but soon gives up.The youth attempts and fails to unlock the Stomp contributor's gate, then staggers away and returns to try again repeatedly.
