Little India riot: The dog that did not bark

Singapore


By Eugene KB Tan -

In the aftermath of the Little India riot, the focus and dominant narrative, unsurprisingly, have been on law and order issues.

The Government’s narrative is that the riot was a “one-off” spontaneous mayhem; the proximate cause being the inebriated state of some foreign workers reacting angrily and violently to a fatal accident involving one of their own.

Yet, the law and order narrative does not sit well with the long-standing issues in Little India, such as the easy availability of alcohol, jaywalking, littering and other public nuisances, as well as overcrowding.

SINGAPORE: The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) on Wednesday (Apr 9) called on the government to secure a new trade deal with the United States in response to sweeping new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump last week.

Such discussions may include “making adjustments to internal policies or making strategic investments in the US”, said PSP secretary-general Leong Mun Wai in a Facebook post.

Trump is a moron who doesn't understand Tariffs. Sure, if the tariff makes imports more expensive, the exporting countries will probably sell less to the US. BUT, the US citizens/residents will pay MORE for the goods they need. So a microwave oven that used to cost $100, would now cost $130 or more. And the common folk will have to pay that price.
