The "Singaporeans Defending Marriage and Family" page spoke up against Ariana Grande's upcoming appearance at the Singapore Grand Prix as it deemed her music as pornography and an "attack" on our social values. What do you think? Were you "corrupted" from listening to her songs?

A netizen claims that a taxi driver allegedly told his passengers to get out of his car in the middle of the journey, all because the passenger had told the driver to turn down his music.

A musical compilation comprising local Singaporean musicians remaking popular local hits from the 1960s to 2000s has just hit the internet today.

Yamaha has apologised on behalf of its flute teacher for refusing to teach an autistic boy named Alex. It acknowledged that its staff was unprofessional in dealing with the issue but said it was because he/she was "anxious". Is this a good-enough apology?

A former teacher of the autistic child who got rejected flute lessons has spoken up about the matter. He was disappointed in the new Yamaha teacher for discriminating a special needs child and denying him of the chance to learn music.

When it comes to local talent and developing it i think there's one important point that no one seems to be talking about and that is the businesses managing them. For the sake of keeping things simple i will be using the music scene as a case study.

An NUS music graduate looking to renew his Arts and Music Instructor Scheme (AMIS) licence has been rejected by the Ministry of Education because he did not furnish them with at least an The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) grade 5 qualification even though he attached his Bachelor of Music degree as his highest professional music qualification. An ABRSM grade 5 is equivalent to GCSE 'O' levels. Does MOE think that a music degree from our local university is not as good as a lesser qualification from a UK examinations board?

To my Hindu friends, I just want to say that I believe that the majority of Singaporeans do not support this kind of heavy-handed and iron-fisted approach to a community's religious rights. I think I speak on their behalf when I say that the government is not acting on our behalf with this ban. What is the whole point of having 'Inter-Racial and Religious Circles' when the state can't recognise the fundamental religious liberties of a community?
