To realise what's going on with the hawker issue, look at the bigger picture. Our escalating cost of living at the macro level is always driven by high land prices, which leads to high property prices, which leads to high rentals.
Don’t be a dumb nation, USE NFC
QR codes can be easily spoofed and leads to scams
But don’t expect much from the same buffoons who decided to make your names pornographic 💀

I just got this video recommendation, which is about United Airlines prohibiting people from watching videos or listening to music without their headphones on.
It makes me think that this rule should not just be on every airline, but also on EVERY PUBLIC SPACE.
I am so annoyed every time I see people watching videos loudly in public, especially on a train or in a cafe.
Not just kids with their cocomelon videos, but it's also adults watching videos with loud music online.
I get so annoyed even if the people doing it are my friends.
Not everyone wants to hear the podcasts you watch or the funny videos you see online, so stop being selfish and use your headphones or earbuds.
They are cheap and easy to use.
The authorities mysteriously allowed more screenings of the Teochew version that they said we’re not allowed to watch
Pretty standard response: Cede ground silently without admitting anything, so as to retain the power to deploy it again in future

I urge you to boycott the dubbed version of Dear You
Dubbing ruins movies and TV shows
The govt is sticking to their dictatorial tendencies even when it's outmoded, just like what the CCP still does to ensure the Chinese are single unified automatons

2/2 "… Malaysia transitioned to a Mandarin speaking society without cutting off its dialect roots.
But of course, dialects are okay when they’re politically expedient, like TV shows promoting government policies and election rallies."
"It's the lack of political will to do so and rock the boat or slay some sacred cows. Nowadays all the PAP ministers are in it only for the money and generational access to wealth and powerful networks of cronyism/nepotism-entrenching elites…" https://t.co/MLJz848Bxu
"Watching ah wong’s video and he seems to imply that sg may be heading towards stagflation. Seeing that we have less jobs esp with AI, high unemployment rates yet prices are rising, it’s quite worrying isn’t it?" https://t.co/fDFQh0zAEZ

"Ok dont worry guys they are aware. Next step is to monitor the situation."
"I'm glad they have concerned monitoring. Much more reassuring."

Give up YOUR privacy to prevent scams 🤦♂️
"Terrible mistake. Nicknames/pseudonyns were always the best defense against a national-level backdoor for scammers to mass poll names from mobile numbers. This measure will leave us at the mercy of such attacks."

Beyond the funny "FUXX" names is a more serious implication:
The gov protected themselves (prevent scammers from changing PayNow name to gov agencies) while throwing everyone else under the bus (revealing & making a mockery of your full names).
Gov before individuals. Good?
