I saw an advertisement for digital subscription to the Straits Times at $9.90 per month.
My immediate reaction was - at last. SPH has now got the right business model. At $9.90 per month, I am willing to subscribe to the online platform and read the local news.
Previously, they offered a low subscription for 3 months and revert to a subscription of $60 or $90 a month. That is too high. I refused to subscribe to this kind of bait.
There was a link to read the Terms and Conditions. It was a very, very long document. After reading a few pages, I gave up. I did not want to subscribe to onerous terms and conditions.
SPH has, once again, turned me off.
This seems to be a bad habit among Singapore managers. They really know how to turn off their customers with impractical, unnecessary and onerous requirements.
You tell me. Singapore got future or not?

To be fair to the people of the republic, interviews should be picked randomly from at least

is the taxpayer's money not anybody's own money. We should not recycle hand-picked people
who has self-interest, benefitted from the 100 million(oops billions) and who had to say the
right thing because they have a job to keep. At least once, can we keep it unpolitical?
