I too experienced many points of friction when visiting and working in China. My nationality and ethnicity was often either positive (Singaporeans are so good at English and Mandarin!!) when geo-political relations were good, or absolutely tragic (you are all hanjian race traitors!!) when they were not.
I’m suspicious of all attempts to bring us into the ‘Chinese fold’.
Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa #Ollongren has reassured Kyiv that the 24 F-16 fighter jets that the #Netherlands intends to donate to #Ukraine may be used to strike targets inside #Russia.
In an interview with POLITICO at the Shangri-La Dialogue in #Singapore, Ollongren said the Netherlands would not impose a limitation as was the case with #Belgium, where Prime Minister Alexander De #Croo has warned #Kyiv not to fly the F-16s it gets from his country in Russian airspace.
Almost everyone I know my age back home is deeply, deeply burnt out and crunchy; and yet I still don’t believe there is space there to thrive as someone who actively chooses the opposite of the Singapore Dream
If you’re in Singapore, like din tai fung, but don’t like how crowded / expensive their restaurants get: here’s a hawker stall that does functionally the same food for $4ish. Will also be crowded, but it won’t be $40

Feminist org in Singapore is looking for volunteers who can speak and transcribe Vietnamese.
They’re doing a study on coercive control. Singapore has a large trans-national marriage rate, largely between citizen men and non-citizen wives from countries like Vietnam.
When I saw this web story about ‘terraforming Singapore’ I was floored. What a great use of the web to tell a story about a country, land use, sand, environmental degradation, and the price of ‘progress’. Singapore’s success, skyscrapers, comes at the cost of literally mining and eroding some of our poorest neighbors’.
This story is so important and had to be told. Oh and it also won some awards! Proud of the friends who put this together
I took a photo of my mum's cousin at work. Turns out she runs Singapore's best rated wanton noodles shop! Very proud of her family for what they've built
Majority of Singaporeans aware of net zero concept, but less clear on national climate targets: study
Research finds that only 15 per cent of respondents know of the city-state’s goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Singaporeans also lack understanding of the types of action – for example, switching to a plant-based diet – that can bring about larger impact on cutting emissions
Today at the hawker centre, there was a little girl who drew my portrait! I’m so impressed! She captured my bun with hairclips in it, she captured my bangs and the locks of hair I have in the front, framing my face. She captured my striped T-shirt and the face mask I had on my wrist. She captured the peace sign I made in the picture we had just taken. She even drew a cat for me! How did she know I loved cats‽
