I'm eligible for $800 Growth Dividends and $100 NS bonus, just for being 21 years old. Unfortunately, I also happen to be the 50% of Singaporeans aged between 21 - 34 years old who have no interest in politics. What I do know is that NS men who have completed their 10 cycles are going to get $300 more. And that the bigger your house the less Growth Dividend paid out to you. Poor Chew, making noise because his flat is a room bigger and getting less of the action. People in other countries get into heated debates over politics and stuff, over who did what said what to who and what they did or should have done. Then they may get into fights just like their representatives do on TV and start Wrestlemania XI. I'd rather be playing my guitar.
Useless fact of the day: Origin of Bollywood. The Indian film industry started in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay (hence "Bollywood" and not "Mollywood") up till the mid 90's. It produces more films than Hollywood annually and the audience actually like Bollywood movies precisely because of their unrealistic attributes. Actors (like Shah Rukh Khan, a Muslim "god" in a Hindu majority state) can be dancing round a coconut tree at one moment wearing a kurta and be transported to the hills of Switzerland wearing western clothing in the wink of an eye. Still dancing.
