Singapore... immediately after hearing this name tamil people correlate them selves with this place very much.. because this is one of the country outside india where tamil is one of their national language..
I landed in this place on jan 25 '10 morning... And the tamil words "Nalvaravu" welcomed me in the Changi airport.. I became one of the fan of Changi airport.. after witnesin it's beauty personally..
I heard that it stands in top 5 well maintained airports...
The island is very calm and clean..
Tamil Channel:
---------------
There is also a singapore's own tamil channed called "Vasantham" where you can hear gud tamil better than our local channels.. (my point of view). The programs are also very useful and informative with less weeping serials... It can be compared to "Vijay TV" in india in itzz class and mass coverage.
Mobile Operator:
-----------------
Here the best and top mobile service provider is "Singtel" which is owned by government...
But in india the poorest and worst mobile service operator is "BSNL" bcozz the BSNL employees are earning more money.. but BSNL as an organization is not much reachable to customers as other private operators.
Public Transport:
------------------
Here the public transport is much affordable and connects almost every place..Both fares for both buses and trains can be paid using ez-link card and it s cheap also... unlike our country where they keep on increasing it in every years's budget... :)
Since most of the people here pay the fare using card i am missing to see the conductor fight asking for changes... If u do not have a card in bus u can pay change in a automatic machine and take the ticket...
Temples:
---------
The hindu temples in Singapore are very nicely maintained.. i felt very happy to see lot of temples here where the pooja was done pooja was done properly with correct mantra pronouncaition unlike in tamil nadu where in many temples it is done only for name sake... i mean only for money..
Keep u posted on more interesting info about info..
