While the temperatures might be slightly cooler in Singapore, Harare etc. you are talking about outside temperatures. And you generally have a breeze outside in some of these places which makes the actual temperature less uncomfortable. In a working environment, and without a breeze, fan or working AC it's daft to compare places. A newspaper office in Singapore would send staff home if the AC konked out and staff sweltered a la toi. You need to complain more... Or ask managemen to buy a fan. The comparison isn’t quite fair.
