Despite the room AV is not functional, CPT’s first panel chair @dhutchman.bsky.social gracefully moderated it and we upheld the #iamcr2025 participatory ethics as much as we can! Watch out that room 53 in Hive may not be functional till later. Ask the helpful volunteers for direction!

3. Dressing - It could be very hot and humid outdoors while pretty cold indoors. So dress for a hot summer in general. But bring jackets and shawls for indoor air conditioning.

Look forward to seeing my friends in Singapore!

2. Payment - most of supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls accept credit cards and Apple/Google Pay. But at the hawker centers (local eateries) and canteens, mobile pay may only accept paylah or paynow, which have to link to local banks. Get some cash.
