Singapore as a small nation,faces many threats and challenges. what are the challenges Singapore faces in these aspects. economic,national security,social cohesion,aging poplulation,sense of belonging and noted-ness in the face of globalization. is there any websites i can research on this...i would like to know more about singapore.

In 1994, the Canadian Government stripped off Singapore Airlines' (SIA) rights to land in Toronto Pearson Int'l Airport because Air Canada complained SIA was stealing its business. Thus SIA is only allowed to fly to Vancouver 3x weekly. I feel this is unfair, just because SIA is a better airline than Air Canada, does not mean a national carrier can complain to its home government. Have they ever heard of the word called "competition"? I think they're complaining because they cannot face it. Now they don't even fly to Singapore! So they really ought to change their minds about this. Do you agree?

I want to order cigarettes online so I'm wondering if Singapore allow us to do that or we'll be charge for tax. Not that I can't find cigarettes in Singapore but there are cigarettes that I want to try and they don't have it here. Thanks.
