Description
This week, authorities ordered the Israel Embassy in Singapore to take down a social media post that compared mentions of Israel and Palestine in the Quran. Ministers Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan also issued strongly-worded statements in separate interviews explaining the severity of the issue. We look into their statements to understand why they felt these moves were necessary. Elsewhere, former transport minister S. Iswaran was slapped with 8 new charges that allege he had obtained, as a public servant, valuable items worth nearly $19,000. It’s a long list of wines, whiskies, golf clubs, and a titanium Brompton bicycle that costs almost $8,000! We look deeper into the list to try and understand the rationale behind accepting these gifts.Find us here!Our websiteYLB SubredditYLB TikTok YLB IGFolkloryCapture stories & memories from your parents while they are still around!Click here to chat with us on WhatsApp, or find out more info at Folklory.comSingapore Orders Takedown of Israel Embassy PostIsrael embassy’s post on Palestine ‘unacceptable’, risks undermining harmony in S’pore: ShanmugamVivian Balakrishnan meets Netanyahu, tells Israeli leaders military actions in Gaza have 'gone too far'FB Post by Masagos ZulkifliGovt tells Israeli embassy to remove Facebook post that was an 'astonishing attempt to rewrite history', says ShanmugamSingapore Orders Israeli Embassy to Delete ‘Inappropriate’ Social Post About ‘Palestine’ | TIMEIswaran Slapped With Additional ChargesWhisky, golf clubs, Brompton bike: What Iswaran is accused of obtaining in his 8 new chargesIswaran's case: A timeline of events from graft probe, resignation and new chargesCPIB Statement: Additional Charges for S IswaranWho is Lum Kok Seng, the man named in Iswaran’s new charges?[Jul 2023] Iswaran’s Cycling VideoBrompton T Line Bicycle websiteAlbert Bichot websiteGordon & MacPhail websiteHonma Golf websiteScotty Cameron Phantom websiteOne Shiok CommentComment by Original Goat 1Comment by nyetkattOne Shiok ThingConan O'Brien Must Go | Official TrailerFULL SEGMENT – The Rock blasts Rhodes and Rollins in a Rock Concert: March 15, 2024Mics and Headphones from @shureChairs from @ergotunechairDesk from @castlerysgEdited and mixed by Tristen Yeak
