Top Google searches in Singapore for 2018

The year 2018 is coming to an end and a lot of things have happened in these 12 months.

We saw the release of new smartphones and gadgets, got heartbroken by the news of Tumblr shutting down its “special content” section and had good laughs at the questions hauled at Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai.

These articles might have been the trending topics overseas, but they are not what people in Singapore have been searching for in the past year.

So what exactly did we search for?
