Topic

National news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q6_K_XL, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 11 August 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 97% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

13 measurements spanning 44 days, net +122. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 4,029–4,187 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 9 July 2026the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 4 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 8 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

What this channel posts

Video runtime
32s
Average length

Measured directly from 2 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no mark.

Reaction mix

608 reactions across 20 posts, in 11 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 48.0% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 608 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 9 July 2026 to 8 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Alvin Tan left his S$10,000-a-month software engineering job, partly because he feared the rise of AI could eventually put his job at risk. Rather than wait to see if he would be retrenched, he became a hawker selling Hokkien mee, earning about S$3,000 to S$4,000 a month. Alvin says despite earning less and working longer hours, running his own business gives him greater control over his future. "You get to be in

Colin retired at 35 and spends just S$150 a month. 🤯 As a child, he saw his aunt cry after losing her job. From then on, his life revolved around achieving financial freedom — he lives in a S$87,000 flat, keeps to an extreme budget, and uses others' throwaways. "My happiness and my pleasure are all mental... and mental kind of fun happens to be free," he says: https://cna.asia/3SdzgAa This lifestyle is...

We recently asked what AI agent Steven Chia should build. Now we'd like to hear from people who've already built one. What does your AI agent do? Has it saved you time, automated a tedious task or solved a problem you deal with regularly? DM us on Instagram or email us at [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you.

Lara, not her real name, was 14 when some classmates deliberately destroyed her school project. What followed were two years of relentless bullying that left her feeling everyone around her “deserved to die”. Around one in two 15-year-olds in the Philippines report being bullied at least a few times a month, more than double the OECD average.

This Singaporean lives on just S$150/month. 😳 20 years ago, Colin lost his job at the age of 35. He had already been living on an extreme budget even before that. Today, he still hasn't returned to the workforce, keeps his monthly spending to about S$150 and says he does not feel deprived.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @CNAInsiderSG. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Why did William Farquhar hang a crocodile by the Rochor River in 1822? 🐊

  1. It disrupted boat traffic.18%
  2. It ate his dog.53%
  3. It attacked people crossing the river.29%

Shares as published. No per-option vote count is published by Telegram, so none is shown.

Percentages only — there are no per-option vote counts here, because Telegram publishes none. The public post preview gives each option’s share and a single voter total, and nothing else. Multiplying one by the other would produce a per-option tally that looks measured and is not: the shares are rounded to whole numbers before we ever see them. We print what was published and leave the column that does not exist empty.

The shares need not add up to 100. Rounding alone puts many polls at 99 or 101. A poll that allows more than one answer per voter runs well past 100 by design, and several here do. The bars are drawn against a fixed 100% track at each option’s own percentage rather than normalised to the total, so a poll that exceeds it shows that it does instead of being quietly rescaled.

Read from the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 9 July 2026 to 8 August 2026. Telegram labels each poll by kind — an anonymous poll, a quiz, a closed set of final results — and that label is reproduced rather than paraphrased.

Forward network

Republished by

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.

Mentions

Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.

Named by

Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
