Sigh...
The fact that this is from a Hindu prayer song makes it even more offensive.

Actually this COP is very good for Pritam and WP. The entire Singapore had the opportunity to see how sharp, competent, and composed the Leader of the Opposition was. He performed brilliantly even under immense stress and pressure. Now, that's all that people will remember.

Gentle reminder to all. The teachers of RVHS themselves are also victims who will need professional help and maybe even time off to heal.
It is admirable that they are now helping students through the healing process despite being traumatised themselves.

We all know about the million-dollar salaries of our PM and Ministers, but do you know about the obscene amount of remuneration our Mayors are receiving?
Firstly, what does a Mayor even do? And why does Singapore need 5 Mayors?!

Let's be clear. Victims of racism do nt have an obligation to educate or to break things down for the racist.
Not all retorts may be civil or polite, and that is understandable. Racism is neither civil nor polite

The voting age in Singapore should be reduced from 21 to 18.
If you are old enough to hold a rifle, go to war, drive, you are old enough to have a say on policies that affect you.
Singapore is one of the few countries in the world where the voting age is not 18.

The PAP points fingers at the Opposition for being "AWOL" on issues like 377A. The reality is that the PAP is the one playing catch-up with the Opposition.
Here are some examples of how the Opposition have supported LGBTQ rights long before the PAP mooted repealing 377A. (A 🧵)

There's something deeply flawed with our idea of "public" housing.
While some struggle to apply for BTO for years and others find rental and resale prices increasingly insane, stories like this appear.
HDBs should be affordable, they shouldn't be treated as an investment.
5-room Yishun BTO up for sale was left vacant for 8 years as buyers moved into family's landed property

For those who argue that having dating or sexual preferences based on race isn't racist. I ask you to interrogate the reasons for your "preference".
Where does this "preference" for one race over another stem from? What are the underlying reasons for this "preference".

If we can adopt this stance for alcohol, why do we treat drug addiction differently?
We don't throw alcoholics or chain smokerd in prison do we?
Fundamentally, addiction is a mental disorder and not criminal per se.

This is taken from the IMDA Internet Code of Practice.
Why is material relating to homosexuality and lesbianism prohibited? Also, why is it lumped together with incest, paedophilia, bestiality, etc.
This is homophobic and discriminatory, to say the least.

Thank you to the Workers' Party MPs who filed these 12 meaningful questions on FTX, Temasek Holdings, and GIC.
In particular, considering the news emerging from FTX's collapse, MP He Ting Ru's question on frameworks on the "basic level of due diligence" is salient.
