Amidst increasingly public struggles faced by hawker stall owners, as well as calls to preserve the UNESCO-approved hawker culture, NEA went ahead and increased the rent of some hawker stalls. KF Seetoh went public, but does he have a point? Is NEA to blame? Elsewhere, it’s been revealed that members of SG’s wealthy class are victims of a scam. Is that goofy, or is that a warning sign?

As other cities open up Covid-19 travel restrictions, Singapore (and Hong Kong) remain  strict, especially for non-citizens. But strict enough to make expats leave? Should we even be worried if they do? Is it fair for them to be so critical? Elsewhere, a seafood restaurant in Punggol allows customers to take crabs for walks before eating them. Nice gesture or marketing gimmick?

On 9 Jun, Chinese Daily Lianhe Zaobao published an opinion piece on racism in SG after recent events. However, it got a lot of backlash from the intelligentsia of Singapore, resulting in an open letter. But why were they pissed? Elsewhere, John Chu says he should have made brown characters in his “Crazy Rich Asians” film “more human”. But is it just a PR stunt or does he mean it?

Singapore was set abuzz with the racist video that went viral. People were pissed, including MP Shanmugam, but what happens next? Elsewhere, SG’s policy on China’s Sinovac vaccine has pissed off Chinese nationalists, including a supposed Chinese national based here, who accused SG of “sucking USA’s balls”. WTF is going on?
