Briton Amy Corrigan shares her thoughts on animal rights activism for ACRES in GOING LOCAL, while Hidayah Amin recalls personal memories of Kampung Glam’s distinctive ‘Yellow Mansion’, in MY SINGAPORE. In BIZ.SG, we look at the current developments in the business of social enterprise – which has come into its own in Singapore.

For more on Singapore, do log on to our new website Singapore Kopitiam (www.singaporekopitiam.sg), a lifestyle website produced by the Singapore International Foundation.

We welcome all your feedback and content contributions to make this a lively and noisy ‘coffeshop’ where friends from all corners get to mingle.
