Prof. Koh is airing his left-wing sensibilities again and I'm really rather perplexed how internally conflicting his observations are (not only in this case). So, apparently Singapore (i.e. Singaporeans) is snobbish and looks down on poor people - as if there was some nobility to be found
Recent discussions on the future of 377A have touched on the underlying goal of the local rainbow community - recognition and equality of gay marriage.

Today's "lacking self-awareness" award goes to... Singapore's chief loving critic.So, Alfie complained a few days ago about the somewhat delayed transition in political leadership of the PAP and, by extension, the government. He questions whether CCS, OYK or LW are really the best
