TOC celebrated our 1 million hits milestone by hosting a BBQ at East Coast Park for our friends and writers. More than 30 people dropped by to feast on chicken wings, sausages, beers and satay. The crowd was a great mix of individuals from across all affiliations and ages, and conversations and food lasted late into the night.

There were lively exchanges about the state of politics in Singapore (what else?), how Singapore society is changing, the future of the PAP government, and the roles of ordinary Singaporeans in creating the kind of Singapore that we want to see. And of course, several ideas and suggestions were made about how TOC can improve.

We thank everyone for taking the time to being part of this wonderful get-together.

For everyone who came, we hope you had a good time, and for those who didn’t, we hope you’ll be there at our next milestone outing!

购买ofo全新脚车上市 Moov成我国第四活跃脚车共享业者

今年频频有脚车共享业者退出我国市场,那么他们遗留下来的脚车会做和处置呢?送到废铁厂? 自今年4月被取消执照后,中国共享脚车业者ofo的显眼黄色脚车,又会再次出现在我国街道上,不过这次使用不同名字。另外还有一万辆脚车作为“礼物”,被送出国了。 这些被存放在仓库的ofo单车,被初创共享脚车公司Moov Technology购买了,经过翻新后,在上周重新被推出。 该公司于4月份获得“沙盒”执照,可以经营1000辆脚车,因此人们能够在新加坡西部如文礼和先驱看到这些脚车。 自ofo未能满足监管条件而被撤销执照后,Moov是首家进入本地市场的公司。 该中国业者是因未能通过由陆路交通管理局(LTA)添置的新条规,即在指定停放区设置QR码扫描系统,且尽管陆交局多次发出警告,ofo业者仍未能将其脚车车队减少到规定的最大规模,即一万架,才遭当局勒令关闭在新加坡的业务。 环保且响应经济效应 Moov首席执行官Sharon Meng对《海峡时报》说,他们购买了ofo未曾使用的脚车,并将其调整到Moov的系统中,这样不仅环保,也有经济效益。 “今年早些时候,我们了解到有很多全新的脚车,完全没有被使用过,但是因为其他的脚车共享业者退出市场了,而被遗留在仓库中报废。我们相信在改善脚车共享领域中,首先就是要清理战场,并且充分利用全新的脚车。” 除此之外,该公司也宣布在今年年终之前推出自己的脚车,以帮助提高运营效率。…
