Yah Lah But

Over the NDP weekend, on Facebook, Minister Shanmugam shared a Malaysia army video that was released during NDP 2021, and highlighted that the bulk of the video was in English, insinuating that it was a targeted message. This caused some angry reactions from Singaporeans online, but also left some people puzzled as to what the big deal was. Also, a doctor accused of molestation in 2017 was finally acquitted of his charges after 4 years. However, this leaves us with the question: what should happen to the accuser?

On 19th August, the Singapore government announced Vaccinated Travel Lanes to Germany and Brunei; it will be the first time SG residents can go for quarantine-free leisure travel since we shut our borders last March. Sounds good, but why are people still upset about this? Elsewhere, the subscription site OnlyFans upsets its huge base of content creators and users by announcing that it will block sexually explicit photos and videos from October due to pressure from “banking partners and payment providers”.

On Aug 10 2021, Singapore will enter the next phase of COVID19 restrictions, but for the better! But if you’re not vaccinated, you’ll have a lot less freedom. What are the differences? Should we be hopeful, or should we expect another lockdown? Elsewhere, Nas Daily is coming under a barrage of fire in the Philippines, but is there more than meets the eye?

A viral CCTV video uploaded by local actor Nick Mikhail showed safe distancing officers and ambassadors entering his home without a warrant, under suspicion of COVID-19 breaches. URA fired back, but did they dig a bigger hole for themselves? What powers do safe distancing folk have anyway? Elsewhere, a Govt poster for NDP that showed an Indian family stirred up racist comments online, but is it fair criticism?

Last week, “Black Widow” star actress Scarlett Johansson sued Disney for breaching their contract after it streamed the film at the same time as its cinema release. A big part of it has to do with money and earnings, but with Hollywood big names supporting her, is there more to it? Elsewhere, dating apps are allowing Singaporeans to display their vaccination status, but in the US, an anti-vaxx dating app is pulled from the app store. WTF is going on?
