Singapore is uniquely exposed to the extreme consequences of bringing Palestine into local politics

Lee Hsien Yang will never see Singapore again
It would take an improbable alignment of conditions for Lee Hsien Yang to ever dream about his criminal investigation going away, permitting him a return to Singapore.
Five times Pritam’s lawyer had to be corrected by the judge
Andre Jumabhoy, representing Pritam Singh in court, appears to have tested the boundaries of defence during the last week's proceedings.
Pritam’s trial: everything you need to know after the first week
While largely free of major surprises, Pritam's first week in court deserves a few explanations.
There’s one other person who can’t be too happy about Iswaran’s sentencing: Pritam Singh
Iswaran's sentencing has created a new context for cases involving Singapore's politicians.
Iswaran’s sentencing turned into a statement of Singapore’s justice system - and good news for the PAP
The presiding judge stole the show - but for all the best reasons. And despite seeing Iswaran sent to prison for a year, even PAP can be glad about the outcome.

So, predictably, Richard Branson has chickened out from public debate on drug policy with K Shanmugam Sc but the way he did that reveal just what a nauseatingly disgusting person he is (much like all hippie do-gooders, though). In a statement posted on his blog on Monday and addressed to
Singapore should be proud of death penalty

Drug dealers play victim only when they get caught
I lifted the headline at the bottom from Coconuts which posted a sad report about the impending demise of this "great man". Meanwhile, Kirsten Han penned a long story of how Nazeri was really a victim himself and he deserved state care not hanging. The reality is far
