By David Leong The Mandate Myth, the Missing Dream, and the Moment of Reckoning Comrade Lawrence, This upcoming general election is not a ceremonial exercise in leadership renewal. It is a crucible. A full-spectrum stress test—not just of the 4G team, but of the Party’s ability to remain...

Indian Muslim, not Malay. Hence the reaction.

Own goal. He should have just said: "Gigene has apologized and I've accepted her apology, noting that there was no malicious intent on her part. Just so, let this be a reminder that there's no place for racism in Singapore, and we should be more mindful of cultural sensitivities in a...
