The Singapore Land Authority has officially classified the midnight BBQ pit booking process as a sanctioned national combat sport.

Thousands of Sinkies currently undergo rigorous finger-tapping training to secure a scorched concrete slab covered in the ancestral grease of five thousand satay sticks.

The adrenaline rush of clicking ‘Submit’ at 12:00:01 am is reportedly the only time most local men feel any semblance of primal masculinity.

“I standby five laptops and two iPads just to get Pit 43 near the smelly toilet,” said local enthusiast, Tan Ah Kow.

“My wife say if I cannot get, I don't come home; better to fight until bloody than let that CB neighbor get the pit first!”

Winners of the booking lottery are rewarded with the privilege of inhaling third-hand carcinogens while sweating profusely in 90% humidity.

It remains the most cost-effective way for citizens to feel a fleeting sense of ownership over a square metre of land they do not actually own.
