With so many statues of controversial figures being toppled around the world, what about the one in SG of Sir Stamford Raffles, who’s increasingly seen as “not the nicest guy”. What about brands with “Raffles” in them? Elsewhere, a AU-born Chinese contestant from Masterchef accused a radio host for being racist by greeting her with “Ni Ha Mao?” Does she have a point?

A photo taken in 2016, of RI students wearing “blackface”, sent the Internet into uproar this week. It had a good ending, but how responsible should people be for their actions in the past? Elsewhere, the Govt announced plans to issue wearable trackers to all 5.7m people in Singapore. Could it work or is the Govt. delusional?

A video of Amy Cooper’s “racist” interaction with Christian Cooper was uploaded online, and within 48hrs she lost her job and her dog. What she did was indefensible, but did she deserve her punishment? Over in SG, Jade Rasif calls out GoodyFeed, a local website, for apparently twisting a genuine issue she raised into an accusation towards her as the cause. Did she have a point?

NY Times published an op-ed by an American journalist based here, who shared her thoughts on SG amidst COVID19. But people were pissed off. Why? Elsewhere, the Govt announced that 1.2m funpacks will be given out for NDP this year, and 70,000+ ppl signed a petition to opt out. Are they overreacting?

This past week, CNA misquoted 4 influencers they interviewed and Lianhe Zaobao fabricated a story about an NTU student who contracted Covid19. Both caused unnecessary confusion and Internet hate. Is it all just because of the need for CLICKBAIT? Elsewhere, Parliament has been turning down more and more queries about live-streaming their sessions. But could that be a good idea?

The “sovereign” lady set the internet on fire the past week, but what exactly is the whole sovereign movement about (it’s actually fascinating AF)? We also talk about the reopening of professional sports, and whether athletes have the right to complain or whether they should just “suck it up”.

Celebrity Ateeqah Mazlan incurred the wrath of the Malay community and soon the Internet after she “caused” home-based businesses to be banned from operating. But did she really do anything wrong? In the spirit of online vigilantism, is the SG Covidiots FB group actually helpful or does it just lead to bullying?
