The virus does not discriminate. To those who made childish comments: stop giving our community a bad name.

By splitting up the cases into three mutually exclusive categories and labeling one such category as "the community", is the Ministry not advancing the implicit view that the other categories -- work permit holders, ie. our foreign workers -- are not considered as part of our community?

SDP's Damanhuri Bin Abas thinks the PAP has racist policies and asked people to stop blaming the Hong Lim Park protest organisers for having double-standards. He believes race issues must be debated openly.

Singaporean playwright said he is sick of people trying to define Halimah's race. He thinks the idea of race or the fact that there is racial categorisation in Singapore is absurd. What do you think?

Who cares about the humble living? As a President, Halimah Yacob should accept all the good and bad that goes along with the job, including moving out of her jumbo flat. Who can afford 'humble living' in a penthouse anyway?

SDP's Damanhuri Bin Abas seems reluctant to accept the EP results and outlined lessons learnt from this Presidential 'election'. Some points include abuse of the word meritocracy, realities of racism in Singapore, lack of democracy and voiceless Malay community.

Farid Khan thanked people for their support despite being disqualified from running for Presidency. He said he stepped forward because he saw a duty to do so for the Malay community, given the limited number of candidates who potentially qualify under the amendments.

Opposition politician Goh Meng Seng wrote an open letter to Halimah Yacob to tell her not to submit her nomination papers tomorrow. He said the Reserved Presidency has already harmed the Malay community and thinks she will not be respected if she accepts the role.

SDP's Damanhuri Abas is convinced that the reserved Presidency is a political ploy by the PAP to deny Singaporeans rights to choose their popular President. He assures people not to feel down but to bring about change in the next GE.

The Workers' Party's Sylvia Lim will not be able to speak about the reserved PE in the upcoming Parliamentary sitting. She had earlier filed a motion but lost out on a ballot that ended up with Murali Pillai's topic on community sentencing and rehabilitative options.
