Curry, anyone?

A neighborhood feud turned into a mass campaign to make immigrants accept curry, smell and all.

“The campaign began after an immigrant family from China complained about the smell of curry from a Singaporean Indian neighbor's home and local officials brought about a compromise,” said a Reuters report.

A Facebook page about the incident was created and currently has more than 57,600 members, “many of who said they were cooking curry on Sunday in a show of solidarity with the Indian family.”

The report said, “Residents say curry is a Singaporean dish and that immigrants, including those from mainland China, should accept it is part of the local culture.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
