"Best Job" Shortlist

There were 34,684 applicants from 200 countries for "the Best Job in the World" and 224 applicants were from Singapore.

50 candidates from 22 countries were shortlisted, with two from Singapore.

Dank was not one of the two from Singapore; he was not shortlisted.

Nevertheless, thank you for your support (if you did support), your encouragement and kind comments/feedback on my video, and your belief in me. Hope to see you underwater, whether with me on a dive trip or a chance meeting underwater, soon! =)
