The check to cover our taxes apparently caught fire while being processed by the Inland Revenue Authority. I guess these things happen. Glad they actually took the time to send the check BACK. Note that under “we are returning enclosed check for following reasons” the words “because we set it on fire” have mysteriously gone missing.
For those interested, taxes in Singapore are unbelievably low which makes the occasional fire okay as far as I’m concerned.

Clearly, the reason for returning the cheque was so obvious that they didn’t need to list a reason. Either that, or their database doesn’t have a code for “it caught fire”.
