Shocking pictures and footage of Afghans clinging desperately to planes taking off from Kabul airport have been flooding the internet these couple of days. Why? Because Kabul has fallen to the Taliban, the president of Afghanistan has fled, explaining that he did so to “avoid bloodshed” and armed and Turbaned men have occupied the presidential […]
Like many people, I was disappointed that Joseph Schooling didn’t even have a chance at a medal at the Tokyo Olympics. The former Singapore Olympic gold medalist finished last in his heat at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre, clocking a time of 53.12s. This placed him 44th overall out of 55. Only the top 16 finishers […]
I have not made much updates to this blog over the last few weeks. Here are two of my video updates on YouTube. The first one deals with our KTV cluster and how we raided the spas but forgot the bars. The second video deals with toxic nationalism. Many leaders, democratically elected or otherwise, rely […]
Rooting out racism from the roots Almost immediately after our badge-demanding former naval officer became famous overnight, a polytechnic lecturer stole the limelight by chastising a mixed-race couple. Then, there is this gong lady who struck her gong (bought from Taobao?) loudly and repeatedly when her Indian neighbour was sounding his prayer bell. Both lecturer […]
Sinovac is the proudest and loudest coronavirus vaccine plaguing Singapore now. A Chinese netizen working in Singapore (@xiaoqige567 on TikTok) has audaciously mocked what he believed to be our self-sabotaging foreign policy and rejection of China’s vaccine diplomacy.

Graphics courtesy of Dr Ang Yong Guan. But as some of us were celebrating, Mr Leong had also drawn some flak […]
The Truths In Fake News & Noses Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was in geography class and the teacher Miss Wu Zetian asked me how America got to be colonised by the Europeans. I said that Christopher Columbus sailed westwards from Spain in 1493 and discovered America. “Wrong! Fake news!” […]
Taking umbrage & Thorn in the side So what’s new? SPH CEO Ng Yat Chung is in the news. Or did news about his outburst overshadow the details of the press conference held specifically to explain the restructuring of Singapore Press Holdings? I shall not repeat the facts which are explained in great detail here. […]
Just as we thought that the end of the pandemic was in sight and it would be safe to travel, infection clusters emerged in Singapore. Are we now seeing B1617 Indian variant clusters in our midst? Is our vaccination exercise going to be futile? India is scrambling for oxygen and hospital beds, with over 300,000 […]
