Have you done LASIK on your eye? Or do you know a friend or relative who has done it before in Singapore? Please share your story with me so I can publish them at LASIK Surgery Singapore for others to read.

I wrote to SGNIC to seek their comments regarding my post on the possible abuse of .sg domain names on 15th July and they finally replied today. Well, I’m truly appalled by the content of the email …I mean you’d expect more after two weeks. But what came back was basically registration guidelines (probably from their FAQs) and an instruction to remove SGNIC’s logo from my blog - totally irrelevant to what I asked. Well, it either proves that they are so disconnected from reality or are simply disinterested in addressing problems. You can read the email after the jump…

This has just been brought to my attention by a friend. There’s a guy who goes by the name of Lupperboy and is using the names of established Adwords companies in his ads on google.com.sg …in a negative sense. So if you searched for “activa media”, “bain mercer” or “purpleclick”, this is what you’ll see:

Domain squatting and domain speculation are quite common with gTLDs, e.g. you register a keyword name like “business.com” and then rent or sell it off for millions. Although SGNIC forbids such practices for .sg domain names, I’ve found some rather wasteful use by a local web hosting company.
