Yah Lah But #634 - Edwin Tong vs. Unfriendly Residents & $11K Nun Job Stuns Singapore
The GE2025 season is heating up - barely 2 weeks in and it’s already spicy. A video of Minister Edwin Tong’s walkabout in Marine Parade went viral for seemingly showing an uncle in a wheelchair flipping him off, but was it actually a middle finger? A PAP volunteer also got implicated for looking stand-offish in the video. We dissect the footage and the clarifications from all the parties involved, and ask if this foreshadows the aggressive campaigning to come. Elsewhere, a Buddhist society’s job ad offering $5K-$11K a month for a nun raised eyebrows and serious questions. Was this job ad for real? Can you earn more as a nun than most normal professions?
