新加坡邮政局发行邮票时，往往有一枚没有注上票值的，只注明1st Local 就属于此种类的邮票，即新加坡境内平邮一单位适用，如果保存下来，将来境内起重平邮涨价多少，都可以继续贴用，换言之只要长期保留作寄信之用的此种邮票，将来只有涨值，绝不会贬值。

很好， 有好学精神， 老张乐意为你在网上找答案（英文）：

Forever Stamps were created by the United States Postal Service® (USPS®) in 2007. They can be used to mail First Class letters (Regular Mail) no matter what the postal rate.
It's not that hard to understand. You can buy the Forever stamps at the current rate of First Class postage, which is now 49 cents each. The Post Office is likely to increase postage again in, say, about 2 years from now, to maybe 53 cents each, to cover rising operational costs. If you still have some Forever stamps that you bought at 49 cents each, they will still be good for First Class postage, no matter what the new rate is, even if it jumped to 60 or 80 cents.

If you don't do a lot of mailing, I would say don't worry about it. If you have tons of pen pals or something, it might make a difference to you.

是的新加坡“的土”收费五花六门，不要说外人，就是一般人如邮刊迷也有时弄不清楚，无论如何一般的士大哥都是照表收费的老实人，甚少故意绕远路。目前新加坡约有五家公司经营的士业务，每家的士起程收费不统一，使用普通车型或大型豪华车的收费也不一样、此外过了午夜12奌坐的士得在表上收费外另加其50巴仙附加费。新加坡地小人多车也多，为防止路上车辆阻塞难行，很早也是世界上最早实行电子路上收费的国家，就是在繁忙时段使用某区或某条主要公路就得另外收费，就如我们所说的过路费，而市区内某些主要公路，不同时段有不同的收费。这样收法本地人不常驾车者也未必能弄清楚。无论如何百姓在诸多不便及多付费用，各种附加费付出后，终于得到不似其他大城市在繁忙时段多数主要公路寸步难行的困境，行驶在可接受的速度中平安上班及回家。
在会场中与香港中国邮学会的李叠寅先生闲谈甚欢，谈到中华四地及新加破的集邮的过去、现在及未来发展，李先生负责青少年这一块，我们谈到后继无人的现实，是的新加坡各邮会加起来也找不到几个青少年会员了，幸好新加坡集邮馆在提倡与接触中小学校集邮小组起到作用，每年主办中小学校的邮票展会，希望目前的学生集邮爱好者，每百位中有一位成年还继续集邮，那断层的问题或可解决。李先生告知香港中国邮学会目前约有600位在籍会员，且青少年会员也不少，恭喜李先生及中国邮学会，后继无人在该会已不成问题了。李先生告知已离休多年，时常参予中华四地的邮展活动，他告知一现象，在中华四区邮展的珍贵邮品展区，均设警卫长期驻守，展框前围起来，生人勿近且不准拍照、这次新加坡邮展的珍品陈列室就好像不当一回事，参观者可自由走动，展框任意触摸，告以新加坡人民可能是受张先生前所列出15项新加坡不可的影响吧！新加坡目前一位女姓半夜2点单独回家是极平常的事，家人奌也不担心，这也可能邮票珍品新加坡人一奌也不担心会遗失吧。
建国50年新加坡已从第三世界的鱼村发展到现今的世界金融中心之一，这15项条例是存在的，但发展到今日，很多项已成虚设，但有一项就千万不可犯就是毒品，捉到了：吸毒一定坐牢、贩毒一定死刑。

   I can understand what does it mean "don't take taxis in Singapore"as I took taxis during my stay in Singapore stamp expo.  The taxi drivers are polite and friendly and will not overcharge nor take longer routes. However, the fares are confusing ! 1) the flag down price are different between taxi companies eg. it is SIN$3.20 for blue and yellow taxis and $3.70 for silver cab. 2) there is a surcharge during peak hours or at night.   During non peak hours, it costs 5.40 from my hotel to Sands Convention Centre and close to $10 at peak hours. Before i am aware of the surcharge fares, when i landed in the airport and took a taxi to hotel,  the meter was $27 and i paid with a hundred dollar bill.  The driver gave me a number of notes for changes. i was in a hurry and didn't count. Later on, I found the change was $64  which meant the driver charged me $36 which i thought i was cheated by $9 until i found it was a surcharge !!
I understand the different taxi tariff system also applied in USA. Am I correct, William ?
