Update: pap signboards and posters are taken down too... Why are they taking down the signboards when elections aren't even over yet? Looks like this happened not only in my estate but others too
Thursday it’s cooling day so they are taking it down
The following acts are not allowed on Cooling-off Day and Polling Day:
Publication and display of election advertising not already lawfully displayed or published;
Canvassing, door-to-door visits, visiting homes and workplaces of voters in connection with the election;
Wearing badges/symbols, using, carrying or displaying political propaganda (only the candidate is allowed to wear the party badge or a replica of the symbol allotted to him); and
Holding of election meetings.
But it was fun while it lasted.

Thots on xx being reported to police? Apparently there is a petition calling to punish her for racist sentiments. Ive known she's trash for years and it's so satisfying to see ppl come up against her
She is known for saying things that often controversial or maybe for the “shock factor” and I personally don’t follow up with what she says or like her. Honestly, if she kept quiet about her comments on Raeesah khan, nothing would have happened but she did. There is also a police report against her racist comments. She got away with multiple times over the years and it’s here.

2018: We Are Ready
2019: Standing Together Against Discrimination
2020: Love Lives Here
PinkDot 2020 Website: https://loveliveshere.pinkdot.sg/
Pink Dot (2009-)
1st row (left to right) : 2009, 2010, 2011
2nd row (left to right): 2012, 2013, 2014
3rd row (left to right): 2015, 2016
An annual, non-profit, free-for-all event which started in 2009, in support of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) community in Singapore. People come to gather to form a ‘pink dot’ to show support for inclusiveness, diversity and the freedom to love.
The event began in 2009 with an attendance of 2,500. In 2016, the number increased to over 28,000 attendees from Singapore and beyond attended this year’s rally, which exceeded the capacity of the venue @Hong Lim Park.
It has also inspired many organisations and individuals around the world to organise pink dot events. Events of varying attendances have been organised in Hong Kong, Montreal, Toronto, New York, Okinawa and Utah. Smaller gatherings were also organised in locations like Anchorage, London, Malaysia and Taiwan.
Despite counter-campaigning like “wear white campaign” in defense of traditional religious values from religious groups, government intervention in law to make it illegal for foreign entities to fund, support or influence events and threats towards the LGBT+ community, the event is still going strong.
Pink dot 2017 has 120 local sponsors and managed to raise S$240,000 - exceeding the target of S$150,000. It is held on July 1 2017.

Understanding our own racism (Part 1)
In light of current BLM movement, it reflects on the long systemic racism and violence in the United States that has divided and damaged America. Beyond America, many around the world also use this period as a reminder to fight against racism and mistreatment towards minorities in their own countries.
Many Singaporeans have brought up Chinese privilege, issues with xenophobia and discrimination against LGBTQ+ community. As we are standing beside the fellow Americans that are fighting for their rights during these turbulent times, let’s not forget the communities that have been pushed aside in Singapore.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality…. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

#BLM#the world has seen what hatred can do and we need to show our support for the people out there who are fighting for equality and equity#may not be the right way in some cases#but it's important#queue

'organised mess' yep sums it up perfectly
*Anything bad happens*
Singaporeans: even though it doesn’t always work
*creates committees dedicated to the issue*
*writes aggressive messages online or newspaper or to the government*
*demands more internal check and balance*
*petitions to let our voices to be “heard”*
*demands meet-the-politicians or town hall meetings*
*looks into higher management or government to resolve*
*call the police*
*reorganised the mess so it doesn’t look like a mess*

Keeping up with Circuit breaker
Here is a very brief summary of life during lockdown Circuit breaker
Government secrets get leaked out and all the boomers rushes down to supermarkets to stock up
Coronavirus cases drastically increased and the government decided to have a circuit breaker
The forgotten population aka foreign workers gets hit badly
Circuit breaker is two weeks and circuit breaker is extended for another month due to increasing cases and we all can't stand it
We got $600!
MacDonald secret doesn't get leaked out and suddenly announces immediate closure for a month, causing Singaporeans to rush to order
Bubble tea shops shuts down and all the gen z kids rush to stock up
Food delivery platforms are a mess and deliverers and food service workers are getting into fights
We are all online
one dude gets death sentence over zoom
people refuse to wear mask and covid idiot Facebook group becomes a thing
Random slashing incidents occurs in different parts of Singapore
Expats hang around Robinson quay to drink and nothing happens besides more enforcement
MacDonald reopen and everyone queues up but bubble tea shops are still closed
Viral video of one kid crying out of happiness after not eating mcnuggets for a while and touches everyone’s hearts
Circuit breaker is about the end but we have phase 1 which everything is still closed so it's the same thing and we can’t stand it
It’s been two months and people want to meet their SOs and friends
Eid Mubarak is celebrated at home with zoom cameras on
More random violence occurs in different parts of Singapore
National celebration is reduced to 80-100 people in attendance and every household is getting a fun pack
Petition to opt out of the fun pack begins
Government plans to push up phase 2 but rumors of an election in July
#Singapore#circuit breaker#This is all I can think of#who says singapore is boring#look at us we're an organised mess
