Big question that President @jokowi & #Indonesia gov't must answer: who is behind the online disinformation campaign vs #Rohingya? Who is pulling strings on non-locals mysteriously showing up at possible temporary shelters in #Aceh to threaten UNHCR staff? https://t.co/1ny14u2vhN

Pulau Senang island was once the site of #Singapore's celebrated open-air prison settlement that ended in brutal bloodshed. I dig into the #history of the Lion City's riot island in my latest for @SEA_GLOBE: https://t.co/4SSiFu7kG1.

@JocelynChia @jimmyfailla @FoxNews @Richzeoli @TudorDixon "comedy bad girl" Love it! 😂What comedy nickname would you give yourself?

[AmandaOon @amanda_oon]

@JocelynChia How do you feel about how this has lit up your career instead of sending it up in flames? 🔥

[AmandaOon @amanda_oon]

Have been following @JocelynChia’s plane crash comedy and want to get the real lowdown. Hit me up, Jocelyn! And comedians in the region, share your thoughts!

@EdGambleComedy @OffMenuOfficial @arloparks @EdGambleComedy and James Acaster trying to explain the Fast Food playground song to @arloparks is one of the best microcosms of the #millennial #GenZ disconnect I've seen in a while 😂.

#Singapore's plant-based 🌱entrepreneurs are targeting a new market: the carnivores 🥩, as #sustainability and #foodsecurity concerns make a mainstream shift more urgent. My latest for @SEA_GLOBE. https://t.co/PqjrswC9HY

As today marks the 77th of #Malaysia’s longest continual political party, #UMNO, was great to speak with @jameschin110 about the party’s multifaceted identity and uncertain future. https://t.co/5uLX7G1CG2

Great to speak to @charlesdunst the day after the King’s #coronation about the #monarchy’s significance to #SoutheastAsia and the next era of #UK - #Asean relations. https://t.co/dOi8GXXKrP

#Rohingya refugees will be taken on a one-day "go and see" visit to Rakhine State as part of a potential repatriation pilot between #Bangladesh and the junta.

There is still ongoing persecution. Repatriation at this time is akin to refoulement.

Prominent #Laos #activist Anousa “Jack” Luangsuphom has survived the cold-blooded shooting that left him for dead on 29 April. Globe’s @bea_siviero reports on a developing situation. https://t.co/8dI0rRUvnN…

How do we define ourselves? 🤔❓ And how much do we shape #identity on our perceptions of others, both familiar and alien to us?

I look at the @natgallerysg exhibition tackling themes of colonisation and shades of self.

#Malaysia makes moves to abolish the mandatory #deathpenalty in a milestone step for #humanrights. But some remain unconvinced. Globe’s @bea_siviero investigates. https://t.co/s8kOmFTxfc
