The MOST ANNOYING comment on Singaporean social media:
“65% of y'all voted for this.”
Cost of living too high? 65% of y'all voted for this.
Singapore getting too crowded? 65% of y'all voted for this.
Government cutting down forests for BTO? 65% of y'all voted for this.
WHATEVER issues arise with Singaporean politics, some people are so quick to jump on their moral high ground and mock the majority for “reaping wha…

Historical oppression has led to the loss of significant heritage, much of which we will never get back. It rarely feels nice when someone tries to tell us who we are when they have not lived our experiences, and it feels even worse whe…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @nljeko. 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.
