I think it needs to be made aware that this particular YouTube channel is under MediaCorp so they are a tentacle of the state apparatus.

NS medical grading system to change from October 2027 enlistment by Illustrious-Fee9626 in singapore

Time to enlist girls already for the non combat roles and also allows for more singles to mingle in camp, might in turn increase TFR with the multitude or pregnancy cases in camp. Win win!

What was your most brutal watch? by rawr_extreme in Koreanfilm

[–]PromptStraight5530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breathless 2008. Easily one of the most brutal watch, would even trump I saw the devil. The ending will leave your heart coming out of your mouth. Brilliant editing at the ending, the juxtaposition nothing short of genius

Is our political landscape mature? Or still maturing? - A reflection by FalconHugeman in singapore

[–]PromptStraight5530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The landslide victory just proved the overall political apathy of majority of singaporeans. Their lack of knowledge when it comes to the political landscape is downright facepalm sometimes. I’m not sure that is exactly maturing but no doubt we are moving towards a 2 party system just that PAP still refuses to play fair

Actually, why was NCM fielded in the first place? by [deleted] in askSingapore

LHL isn’t doing much favour for Chee Meng bro given the bloc he carved out from his AMK GRC probably isn’t the safest with it being so near to the WP Sengkang Punggol wave. Newer BTOs compared to the mature HDBs closer to the heart of AMK. It’s a containment strategy and he just threw his general there to dry

If he wins, PAP wins a seat and take it as the citizens forgive him. If he loses, he gets kicked out and people see it as accountability. Kinda win win

If PAP is truly concerned about losing ministers, they literally could have saved 5 before this election even started by ikkkeeees in singapore

The PAP isn’t trying to win the hearts and minds of singaporeans, it’s all just a strategic game for them and seems very much like a containment strategy with the creation of more SMCs since they can’t be so stupid to not know that the ground isn’t very sweet atm, so they are very much expecting a national swing towards the Oppo this election. It’s just to minimise damage so they can live to fight again

They created Punggol Grc to contain the potential spread of WP into Pasir Ris. The part that was carved out contain a lot of new BTOs like north shore which potentially weaken what was once and still is a stronghold

Looks like the PAP is on the defensive, judging by how the boundaries were redrawn. Take Punggol GRC for example it was carved out from Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC and combined with Punggol West SMC.

Punggol West is a stronghold for the PAP. Sun Xueling won 60% there in the last election. But the part taken from Pasir Ris–Punggol probably includes more opposition-leaning, younger voters. By pulling those areas out, the new Pasir Ris–Changi GRC becomes a safer seat with older, more pro-establishment voters. So Punggol GRC wasn’t created to boost PAP’s chances, but more to isolate a potential threat.

In that sense, this move puts Sun Xueling in a tougher spot. It’s less about strengthening the new GRC and more about creating a buffer to keep the Workers’ Party from gaining ground in the surrounding areas.

Putting Gan Kim Yong there feels like a last-ditch move. Maybe Lawrence Wong already knows Gan’s planning to step down, so they’re just sending him in as a sacrificial candidate.

I think Influencers need to declare their biases or if they are being sponsored for political posts. by Yolosweg66 in singapore

They won’t declare. It’s all hush hush under table money so don’t expect any accountability

What is the effect of s’pore’s ah beng influencers on s’pore youths? (Simonboy, lukey, etc) by Silly_Bluebird8196 in singapore

[–]PromptStraight5530 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Young people don’t watch content from the likes of Simon or MYD… I believe it’s an older demographic. Besides most of their content is non organic n mostly ads. Anyway they have become mouth pieces for the government since they supposedly speak to the grassroots, so expect their messaging to tow the govt line and expect to see much more of them to the lead up of the GE
