It seems like a lot of people in Singapore are really into bicycling. Which doesn't make sense to me, it's too hot and humid. It's such a prole sport.
I find people in Singapore quite naiive and complacent. Singapore's natural gas contracts are going to expire in 2023 and 2024, and they can expect their inflation to go even higher because of the rising energy prices. Most people don't realize an energy crisis Germany style is brewing in the 'little red dot' in the horizon. Singapore can only expect renewables to hit no more than 20% of power generation even if they spam solar panels everywhere. The country doesn't actually have a proper coal-fired plant, so they can't take in coal even though its cheaper right now.
Malaysia and Indonesia may have been joking about cutting off domestic natural gas exports to Singapore, but they might actually do it now for domestic energy security reasons. That'll be pretty bad, since a large part of Singapore's imported natural gas comes from Malaysia and Indonesia. There's definitely a high chance a significant portion of Malaysian and Indonesian natural gas to be cut off to Singapore. Then people will have to significantly cut down A/C which will be searing hot.
They don't even know where their energy and electricity comes from at all. Electricity is never guaranteed to be ever-present and affordable. You can't afford to outsource all your thinking and strategy to the government.
