The last time I felt truly represented by a movement was the r/antiwork shit a few years back. Most politics since then including the shooting of the United Healthcare guy and whatever the fuck Mamdani or AOC are doing feel custom-made for the median zoomer that can comfortably support themselves.
r/antiwork was obviously never a substantial or well-developed thing, it was a fucking subreddit, but what the fascists did to it was they forcibly removed it from the bounds of discourse and they then proceeded to deny that there had ever been anything there in the first place.
So what happens now is that anyone who can't work, who can't find work, who doesn't want to work (goddess forbid all three) necessarily has to be suicidal, because there isn't really another choice. This is very deliberate mental warfare by the fascists. When you feel that there's an irreconcilable divide between yourself and those who can be self-sufficient, that is also the work of the fascists.
I don't really think about movements anymore. I just want to hurt people.

America’s mortality crisis is a national disgrace. 700,000 people die yearly who’d survive in peer nations. For adults 25–44, deaths are 2.6× higher than in other rich countries.
While COVID exacerbated this, the root causes stem from a frayed safety net, unaffordable healthcare, opioid scourges, economic despair, and systemic policy failure. Millennials and Gen Z face plummeting lifespans amid unattainable housing, stagnant wages, and eroded public health.

Running a private limited company in Singapore requires more than just managing daily operations. The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) mandates strict compliance rules that every company must follow, no matter its size. These are not optional guidelines but legal obligations. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, reputational damage, or even the risk of your company being struck off.
For business owners new to Singapore’s regulatory environment, ACRA’s requirements might seem complex. However, with a clear understanding and support from corporate secretarial services, staying compliant is achievable and can be integrated seamlessly into your operations.
Compliance with ACRA is more than just administrative paperwork. It ensures transparency, fostering trust among investors, banks, and business partners. Accurate filings provide a reliable snapshot of your company, while errors or delays can undermine credibility and attract scrutiny.
Singapore’s reputation as a global business hub is built on its robust yet straightforward regulations. Whether you’re a small startup or a large enterprise, compliance levels the playing field. Failing to meet ACRA’s standards can result in fines, audits, or director disqualification. Many businesses rely on corporate secretarial services to manage these obligations while focusing on growth.
1. Appointing a Company Secretary
Every company must appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation. This person must be a Singapore resident and cannot be the sole director. The secretary handles critical tasks like filing statutory documents and updating ACRA on company changes. Engaging corporate secretarial services ensures this role is managed with expertise and efficiency.
2. Maintaining Statutory Registers
Companies must keep accurate registers of shareholders, directors, secretaries, and auditors, as well as records of share allotments and charges. These documents must be current and available for inspection. Inaccuracies can lead to disputes or regulatory issues down the line.
3. Annual General Meetings (AGMs)
Unless exempt, private companies must hold an AGM within 18 months of incorporation and annually thereafter. At the AGM, directors present financial statements to shareholders for approval. Small companies can opt out by circulating statements within five months of the financial year-end, but this requires formal documentation.
4. Filing Annual Returns
After the AGM or circulation of financial statements, companies must file an annual return with ACRA, detailing officers, share capital, and financial compliance. Private companies have seven months from the financial year-end to file. Late submissions trigger fines starting at $300, with penalties increasing over time.
5. Keeping Proper Accounting Records
All transactions must be documented, with records like invoices, receipts, and bank statements retained for at least five years. These records support financial reporting and compliance with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Poor record-keeping can lead to complications during audits.
Changes to company details—such as directors, share capital, or registered address—must be reported to ACRA within 14 days. Many companies mistakenly assume these updates can wait until the annual return, leading to avoidable penalties.
While directors bear ultimate responsibility for compliance, corporate secretarial services can handle the administrative workload. These professionals manage filings, maintain registers, and track deadlines, ensuring nothing is overlooked. They also provide reminders for AGMs and annual returns, making them a valuable asset for businesses without dedicated compliance staff. Directors must choose a reliable provider, as they remain accountable for any errors.
Even well-meaning companies can stumble. Frequent mistakes include:
These errors often arise from underestimating ACRA’s strict timelines. Proactive planning can prevent costly consequences.
To streamline compliance, adopt these habits:
These practices make compliance a natural part of your business operations.
Compliance may feel like an extra task, but it’s a cornerstone of Singapore’s business ecosystem. Transparent filings and accurate records enhance your company’s credibility, making it easier to attract investors, secure financing, or build partnerships. Non-compliant companies face fines, legal challenges, and missed opportunities.
ACRA compliance is a non-negotiable responsibility for private limited companies in Singapore. From appointing a company secretary to maintaining accurate records, these obligations protect your business and its stakeholders. While the rules are strict, they’re manageable with the right approach. Corporate secretarial services can lighten the load, but directors must stay proactive. In Singapore’s competitive market, compliance builds the trust and stability needed for long-term success.
Being in business in Singapore is associated with numerous roles, including legal and regulatory requirements of which companies must comply to remain legal.Entrust (Entrust Public Accounting)
