#264 - Healing The Divide’s Iris Koh raises almost $100K for legal fees & runner Soh Rui Yong excluded from SEA Games
Iris Koh, the founder of anti-vaccine group, Healing the Divide, raised over S$96,000 in one week to foot her legal fees in court hearings. Are there that many anti-vaxxers in SG willing to help her by donating that much money to her? Also, one of SG’s top runners, Soh Rui Yong, was excluded from the SG contingent travelling to May’s SEA Games based on his conduct. Is this a fair outcome for Soh and for Singapore?

#257 - US warns against travel to SG & BMT exercise mats raise online furore
On Monday, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised against travel to a dozen countries because of high rates of coronavirus infection, one of which was Singapore. Why is SG getting labelled with such a bad rep, in spite of the heavy lockdowns we’re still experiencing? Closer to home, pictures of BMT recruits doing push-ups on foam exercise mats were posted on social media, and they went viral as online commentators started to question - should soldiers be allowed creature comforts like exercise mats while training?
