A netter writes an open letter about the recent incident featuring Ngee Ann Poly students taking turns to pee on naked boys in toilet.

A netizen responds to TODAY article “Gen Y Speaks: This is why I don’t want to be woke. Don’t cancel me for it” ——————– Cool story but I will need back my pitchfork after reading your article, not for harm but for its intended purposes, picking up LOOSE material.  Woke: …

Min Shan tried to assure Singaporeans that sexual orientation do not influence policies. But why is 377A still around?

Lawrence Wong should take ownership of MOE policies instead of taking the cowards way out of not addressing it.

Are times changing? Is the 158th media finally sick of doing the PAP's bidding and now dying to come out of their reigns? They must be either really hungry for readership or they are being rebellious to test water.

Ho Ching, the wife of PM Lee and possible the richest CEO in Singapore ever, has shared yet another pro-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) post on her social media page. Ho Ching, of course, has been notorious lately for flood posting her FB page with many links every single day.

Here is what I learned going to this years Pink Dot (my first) as a straight, Christian-raised, middle aged father. I'm not gay. I'm not an activist. I have no (pro or anti) LGBT agenda. I just figure the world has enough real problems. Pink Dot and what it represents ain't one of them.

I personally do not need Pink Dot nor a gay pride parade because I live with pride everyday of my life and surround myself with friends and loved ones. I am proud of my career achievements, my life experiences, and not because of my identity. I don’t need an annual virtue signalling parade to make me feel good about who I am. The fact is, I am a Singaporean first, and a transgender second. I would rather be celebrated for the former than for being different as the latter.

A group of foreign companies such as Facebook, Google and Uber wrote in to Singapore authorities to ask for permission to support this year's Pink Dot but were unfortunately rejected. In their letter, the group of companies expressed support for inclusivity, diversity and in creating a safe space for their employees to work in. They understand Singapore has its own regulations and already suggested not to have their names listed or recognised as official sponsors. They also assured that no foreign representatives will speak at the event. However, our authorities still flat out rejected their application to support the event. Instead of explaining why they rejected the application, the authorities reiterated that foreign entities must abide by our laws and not fund or support events that concern our domestic matters. Do you think this is necessary to make Pink Dot free from "foreign intervention"?

At my first Pink Dot in 2013, I turned up at HLP in black, surrounded by a sea of pink. I've managed to get it right every year since. Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore (ASAS), on the other hand, is still getting it wrong.
