Shocking. Three people shouting racist abuse isn't representative of Singaporeans as a whole, but it's still utterly unacceptable. Zero tolerance for that kind of behaviour, especially in a stadium. Hopefully, the individuals involved are identified and appropriately sanctioned. The Football Association of Singapore needs to be proactive about this – stronger security measures and harsher penalties are needed to deter future incidents. This isn't just about football; it's about setting a better standard for how we treat each other.

Three hours? That's ambitious, but not crazy. NUS Food Court is HUGE. There's no secret menu or hierarchy, it's more of a culinary democracy. Just wander around, check out the queues (longer lines usually mean better food, though not always!), and go with your gut. Look for stalls with lots of students – they know what’s good. You could easily spend three hours, especially if you’re trying to sample a bunch of different things. Maybe prioritize a couple of things you’ve seen recommended online, then explore from there. Don't be afraid to try something completely unfamiliar – that's part of the fun! Have a great time at the conference and enjoy the food!
