I honestly think every Cypriot student should have a trip to Singapore. EVEN LESS natural resources than us, but a strategic location (like us)- a kicking economy based around education and business.
Incidentally, I would hate to live in that sterile soulless place, but it's a good place to show what we could achieve.

great as a holiday but the closest thing to a dictatorship if you're gonna live there.

And the only way they did it was by shipping in a few hundred thousand chinese with money ,into a country that was malay ,,, now the malay are a minority,,,,, sound familier does it

Not so! They do not sell it, but you may bring your own- as long as you don't spit it out. Like a real koulloufos, last time I was there I ended up puking on the sidewalk... lucky not to get caught!

Just read this online...

POLICE hinted yesterday they would refuse to provide security at football matches next season after 11 officers were injured – two seriously - during riots in Limassol at the weekend.
‘We’ve hit rock bottom,” police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos said. “The question on everyone’s minds should be, where we are heading as a society?”

I didn't realise things were this bad...

Now do you understand that this has nothing to do with tc's?

These are the fans of AEL Limassol and Apollon Limassol. AEL were pissed off that APollon won the cup.

New Anti-riot units being formed, trained by Brit officers that arrived yesterday.

They need 10-15 of these bastards to go to jail for a decade and then we'll see who picks up a rock again.

I understand hooliganism,DT...But you can't deny the fact that TCs had been singled out for attack in past riots,for simply riding in a car obviously registered in the North...So we can't whitewash the racist element entirely...

Singapore, commonly known in Asia as the ''Nanny State'' ....They have rules for just about anything and everything. The highest taxes on consumables too, such as fuel, cars ...etc etc ...But a great place to stop off at, for a break/holiday that's for sure!!!

Okay, so I asked this very question in the sports section but got little results.

I am trying to do some research into the politics surrounding Cypriot football. Based around the clubs beliefs along with those of the fans and the clubs officals.

I always see in the news related to football on the Island that certain clubs are nationalist etc.

I am just looking at getting some more details in the beliefs of the fans and clubs.

Which clubs support a Nation of Cyprus? Which support the greek community and which the turkish?

Any help and information will go a long way!

Summary
This paper gives us information about the formation of the first football teams in Cyprus in 1902. As the
game became popular, we observe that there were frequent intercommunal matches and multicommunal
football teams were built up within these friendly relations. The first Turkish Cypriot Football Club was
formed in 1907. In 1930 the Nicosia Turkish Sports Club was founded by the well-to-do members of the
community and was among the eight clubs forming the Cyprus Football Federation (KOP) in 1934. The
Chetinkaya Turkish Guilds Sports Hearth was established in 1943 and in 1949 it amalgamated with the
Nicosia Turkish Sports Club. This new “Chetinkaya Turkish Sports Union” won the Cypriot League
Championship in 1950 and it was the cup winner in 1951 and 1952. Some successful Turkish Cypriot and
Armenian Cypriot footballers also played in the Cypriot National Football Team. Unfortunately this
cooperation ended in 1955 when Chetinkaya was excluded from KOP.
