Singapore's bravest boy Amos Yee is finally back after he went missing for 3 months! On 9 April, Amos responded on Twitter and confirmed rumours that he was indeed spotted in Melbourne Australia after leaving Singapore to flee police investigations and his National Service call up.

A Filipino reader has sent us an email about her life as a foreign domestic worker and a Christian cell group leader for other maids in Singapore. She wishes to raise awareness that many of her fellow Filipino domestic workers are not given enough time to rest and to attend to their religious services.

I had been living in the flat for 20 years, my unit was at 2nd level. I did respects all Religious as in our believe, we are not allowed to DISRESPECT others religious. What I want to bring up these matter to public are: The air pollution which came from the in-cent's paper burning smokes that every day seeps into my door every morning when I opened my main door.

I am in an inter-racial marriage. I'm a Muslim while my wife is a Chinese free-thinker. We've known each other for more than half a lifetime and married for 12 years. Since we got married, she has never stepped foot into my parents' home and she has disallowed me to bring our 2 kids (10 and 2) to see my parents. Even know she knows that she is being unreasonable, my wife once said that she doesn't like my family to the extent that she doesn't want to be associated with them. She admits that maybe she is afraid that our kids will become Muslim.

My first three boyfriends were Chinese (Taoist, Buddhist and atheist), my current is one of those westernized Muslim man. My mom was very relieved when I started dating the Muslim, and honestly, I'm just doing it because he's rich, good-looking and shares the same born religion - please don't judge me, it's really that hard to find a Malay-Muslim man in Singapore who can make money. I don't really love him, he's so much older and all we ever do is sleep with each other. But my mom's happy he's Muslim, my dad's happy he's rich, and I don't have to be broken up with again because of my religion, so why not?

S’pore’s Moral Minority is getting as ridiculous as their M’sia counterparts. Here it’s the X’ian Ultras (“Christ was ctucified: why not LGBTs?” is my understanding of what they want) and some Muslim allies doing the intolerance, not the Muslim Talibanites, UMNO opportunists and Malay Ultras. At least here, bigotry and intolerance cannot identified with any one religion or race or any combination thereof

I believe this is what the wrong religious indoctrination can do to a person, and no one is spared – no matter how intelligent he or she is. This is also where my personal rant against mega-churches and their mindless drive for growth-at-all-costs becomes a little more biting, if not already painfully ironic. First off, God has nothing whatsoever to do with it. That has to be said. It has to be let out with a jericho chant. God doesn't need money; not a cent. Instead, those who claim that they are collecting in His name are the ones who desperately need money; every cent of it.

But you know what's the most fugged up thing? I think they soliciting outside temple is to play with pioneer generation mond, like making them feel that they have to do some good deed after praying, to incur good karma. Sibei cunning tactic! No respect for guanyinma and also the temple mgt

On Mon night, the news on TV covered PM Lee's speech at NTUC National Delegates Conference. I was confused to see the large welcome banner behind him addressing him as 'Brother Lee Hsien Loong'. Why the religious sounding address ? The common practice is to address him as PM.

I was on my way to work this morning...and something caught my eye....a student from one of the international school in Singapore was participating her school P.E lesson and guess what she was wearing her Hijab... International School in Singapore allowed their student to wear Hijab which I am happy to see but our normal school in Singapore prohibited it.....Shame on you MOE
