Well, I'm not the only one around me who's faced such problems, and they aren't caused by stress because the cables disintegrate at various points, not just near the MagSafe connector. My guess is that it's humidity at work, since Singapore, unlike Cupertino, is ridiculously humid all year round — whoever sourced the white insulation for MagSafe cables probably didn't test them in high humidity environments.
