A Very Non-Singaporean Event

The Independent
By The Independent

By: Lohcifer

Once again, an event that few ordinary Singaporeans can relate to is here – the F1.

The hookers have flown in, the stars will be performing and this is the only night race in the world, but if you are not able to fork out exorbitant sums of money, forget about even catching a glimpse because all the barriers are up and no one can see anything unless they pay and get admitted.

Definitely an event for rich foreigners and members of the local glitterati and not for the ordinary people.

Of course it’s on TV but that’s like a wealthy uncle flicking crumbs off his table at you.
