Another angry customer complained about Apple for failing to identify the problem with his computer and giving up on its repairs. He was disappointed at their service standards as they didn't appear keen on taking the time to repair it for him.

A netizen sarcastically suggested SMRT to remove their "reserved seat" signs as nobody bothered giving up seats to her even though she is heavily pregnant. Why liddat siol?

Our reader is unhappy that she has to give up her Singapore citizenship for a New Zealand one, having lived there for 20 years with her lesbian partner. She thinks it's a move to deny her vote as the government is becoming more 'fundamentalist'.

In the last three days since the GE results, several activists have wondered aloud to me if it is worth carrying on doing what they do. The GE results, while of course the PAP and its supporters will cheer, have nonetheless cast a cloud of uncertainty among some. Why carry on fighting for change when the vast majority of Singaporeans seem to want no change? I think it is worth noting that there is no widespread sense of jubilation or excitement among Singaporeans as a reaction to the results, as there were after GE 2011 when the WP won Aljunied GRC. Or in 1991 when the WP again won Hougang. Or Anson in 1981.
