Hi Iman! First things first, tell us what’s one thing that gets you excited about Singapore?
Safety is number one. But I definitely get excited about the local foods which you can t really get anywhere else. I love laksa! I am also an adventurous person, so I love the theme parks, greenery, and the night scene here.
What are your thoughts on the local music scene?

Favourite local musician?
I really like YAØ – he has an amazing voice. And Tengy, who is a rapper-singer.

After the sale, Swift released a statement saying that, despite negotiations with Shamrock, her team was unable to negotiate a desirable solution for both parties. As such, Swift decided to proceed with re-recording her albums part-by-part and note-by-note.
