When these Queers go to Palestine.....see how they will be treated....It's all communism. They all follow the same formula.
They have a designated [oppressed class], and a designated [oppressor]. Then agitate towards a 'revolution' to 'liberate' the [oppressed class] from the [oppressor].
Oppressed class can be defined by them to be women, minorities, LGBT, migrants, the 'working class', the handicapped, animals, the planet (environment), reactionaries etc.
All done to tear down society, history and culture, then build their communist 'utopia' on top of it.
Don't fall for it.
For many years, SingPost was led by a female chairman Fang Ai Lian who staffed the board with a number of female directors, to meet the women's agenda of having a gender-diversified board.
The same period saw SingPost's deterioration as a business.
Now they have to replace the female CEO with a male CEO.

SINGAPORE – SingPost will have a new chief executive officer to head its Singapore operations from May 1, following a restructuring of the business that will see the group attempt to transform itself into a logistics company within three years.
Mr Shahrin Abdol Salam will take over the role of Singapore CEO from Ms Neo Su Yin, who is leaving to pursue career opportunities elsewhere, the group said in a statement on April 1.
Mr Shahrin was the managing director of SMRT’s Thomson-East Coast Line, as well as senior vice-president (strategic relations) at SMRT Corporation.
SingPost Group CEO Vincent Phang said: “Shahrin has a strong track record in leading operations, engineering and service quality, and I look forward to his leadership in our continued transformation.”
Said Mr Shahrin: “It is exciting and a privilege to lead such an iconic business, especially at this transformative time.”
He has more than 25 years of experience in managing operations, strategic planning, asset management, business development, engineering and customer service.
He has held various senior leadership positions, and was expert and adviser (rail agency) in the Dubai government’s Roads and Transport Authority.
Mr Shahrin, who turns 51 in 2024, was reported in early March to be “joining an organisation in Saudi Arabia”.
He said his U-turn back to Singapore was a difficult and personal decision.
“Family exigencies often call for tough decisions, and so I have to forgo the overseas opportunity to prioritise my parents’ needs,” he told The Straits Times on April 1.
“I am grateful for the timely opportunity SingPost provides for me to take this exciting leadership role in shaping SingPost’s next phase of growth.”
SingPost told ST that Ms Neo had tendered her resignation and given notice in January.
Separately, she also confirmed that she will be advancing her career in the aviation industry.
SingPost expressed its gratitude to Ms Neo for her contributions during her tenure as CEO of the Singapore business. The group credited her for her leadership through the Covid-19 pandemic, raising the performance of the domestic service, as well as growing the e-commerce business.
On March 20, SingPost announced it was embarking on a three-year plan to become a logistics company.
This followed an eight-month review that concluded that SingPost’s share price had failed to “appropriately reflect the intrinsic value of the company”.
The restructuring aims to make the group more efficient in capital management, while streamlining the business for growth.
Among the initiatives being considered is the divestment of non-core assets, with the sales proceeds being used to repay debt, ploughed into faster growing businesses or returned to shareholders.
Non-core assets that may be put up for sale include SingPost Centre in Paya Lebar, which was valued at $1.1 billion as at September 2023, along with a partial stake in its Australian unit, which accounts for around 60 per cent of the group’s revenue and profits.
In addition, its business units will be streamlined according to geographic zones – Singapore, Australia and the international operations that encompass some 200 markets through a global postal network – to give them more independence, increase their flexibility to pursue growth opportunities and, ultimately, achieve better valuations.
SingPost shares closed flat at 42 cents on April 1, after the announcement.

SINGAPORE - Mr Dexter Tay was appointed executive director of the Consumers Association of Singapore (Case) on April 1.
He replaces Ms Lee Siow Hwee, who has helmed the association since 2021 on secondment from the People’s Association (PA).
Mr Tay, who was previously Case’s deputy director, has worked in various public sector agencies including the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), Ministry of Transport and Land Transport Authority.
Ms Lee, during her tenure, helped streamline Case’s consumer services amid the Covid-19 pandemic, introducing online mediation for consumers to resolve disputes and launching a one-stop website where consumers could have their queries answered round the clock.
She also helped to extend Case’s dispute resolution services to more than one million NTUC members in 2022, allowing them to tap the services for free.
In 2024, Ms Lee launched Price Kaki Champions, a collaboration between Case and PA.
The programme saw some 2,000 volunteers recruited to look for good deals around neighbourhoods and promote community awareness of price comparison platform Price Kaki.
Case president Melvin Yong said: “I would like to thank Siow Hwee for her contributions in the past three years. She played an important role in leading Case through the Covid-19 pandemic and responding to emerging consumer trends and challenges.
“As executive director, she enhanced Case’s suite of services to consumers, extended the reach of our dispute resolution services to more consumers, and expanded our pool of community volunteers.”

SINGAPORE – SPH Media, which publishes titles including The Straits Times and Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao, will have a new chief executive from July 15.
Mr Chan Yeng Kit, who is permanent secretary for health and the former chairman of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), will take over from Ms Teo Lay Lim, who is retiring.
In the media group’s announcement on April 8, it said Mr Chan, 59, brings a wealth of experience to his new role from his extensive career in the public sector, the labour movement and the private sector.
SPH Media chairman Khaw Boon Wan said: “Yeng Kit is committed to our mission to help inform and unite our people via quality journalism. Against the competitive pressure from social media, he will support the newsrooms to tap digital platforms to reach new audiences and build a sustainable commercial model.
“We are grateful to Lay Lim for kick-starting our organisation’s digital transformation. Yeng Kit will build upon the foundations that she has built.”
Mr Chan was appointed to SPH Media’s board in March. That month, he stepped down from IMDA’s board after having served on it for nine years.
As permanent secretary for health, a role he took on in 2019, he headed the Government’s efforts to develop Covid-19 safe management measures.
He was the permanent secretary for defence from 2013 to 2019.
The Public Service Division said in a separate statement that Mr Chan, who will be seconded to SPH Media, will be succeeded as permanent secretary for health by Ms Lai Wei Lin, who will relinquish her appointments as permanent secretary for transport development and second permanent secretary for finance on July 1.
Mr Chan has also held a range of appointments in the labour movement and private sector. These include management positions in the Public Service Division, National Trades Union Congress and the Suzhou Industrial Township Development.
An SPH Media spokesperson said: “Mr Chan Yeng Kit’s wealth of experience and expertise will further benefit the organisation as it navigates the opportunities and challenges of the evolving media landscape.”
Ms Teo, 60, is leaving SPH Media after more than two years as its CEO. She took over from interim CEO Patrick Daniel on March 1, 2022.
In its announcement, SPH Media said that under Ms Teo’s leadership, the media group made steady progress in areas such as digital integration, customer experience and talent development.
During her tenure, it refreshed its digital platforms and mobile applications to adapt to how different audiences consume content, it added.
For instance, new features were introduced on SPH Media’s news apps, and the first Tamil Murasu app was launched. A shared video and audio production facility for its newsrooms, Studio+65, was also set up to strengthen the group’s digital media offerings.
The SPH Media statement added that Ms Teo’s efforts led to greater data integration and analytics, which provide newsrooms with better visibility on how readers are responding to stories and support decision-making.
“Ms Teo has advocated for a culture of putting audiences and subscribers at the centre of what SPH Media does,” said the spokesperson.
“This has led to an expansion of options through which our audiences are able to access, consume and experience our content, especially the various digital channels.”
Responding to queries from ST, the spokesperson said the controversy over the inflation of circulation numbers uncovered by a March 2022 internal review was not a factor in the leadership change.
Among the findings from the review was an overstatement of an average of 49,000 daily copies, or 5 per cent of the total circulation then, of news titles, including ST. Several senior employees left the company in December 2022 following the audit.
SPH Media said the leadership change comes as the group requires a different set of experience and skills for its next stage of transformation, now that its digital foundations are in place to deliver quality storytelling and be the trusted source of news.
The spokesperson said Mr Chan has led organisations through challenges posed by digital disruption and behavioural shifts, and is well placed to lead SPH Media “to optimise the outcomes and ensure sustainable growth”.
SPH Media was spun off from Singapore Press Holdings in December 2021 as part of a strategic review to enable the media business to focus on quality journalism and invest in strengthening its digital capabilities.
Following that, the authorities said in February 2022 that the media group would get government funding of up to $180 million annually over five years to invest in technology and newsroom capabilities, including for the vernacular newsrooms.
With public funding, it would be required to provide half-yearly progress updates on how it is meeting key performance indicators, such as reach and engagement of its products.
