#throwback 05/04/2018: oh “one #cute looking #blimp to grace our skies” (as how @mothershipsg would put it). Get it straight; this is #aerostat and it offers #roundtheclock #surveillance, for “defence” purposes. . . #singapore #military #alwayswatching or #spying

#throwback 25/02/2018: so this kind of #vandalism is allowed? Museum-goers “unintentional” #sticker #littering becomes a so-called #public #advertisement of the #museums? Hence, it’s okay to leave that, right? . . #yep

#throwback to #2015 but taken on 14/12/2017: the using of the #littleindiariot as the backdrop to ramp up #policepatrol in #publicplaces (in #littleindia and #geylang) indefinitely is not justifiable! More so, the #liquorcontrolact does not only “aim to minimize #publicdisorder and #disamenities arising from #drinking in #public”, it renders the #impossibilities of #agency that is needed for any #civic #dialogues between #thestate and it’s #people through an #authoritarian approach! Not surprisingly, @channelnewsasia is more concern about whether establishments are #profiting from this wacky #bill. . . #reclaim #publicspacesforall #nopolicenoproblem #nobeernofun #removeliquorcontrolzone #removerestrictions

#throwback 01/12/2017: no #rafflesia in #singapore, just fake one using #legos. The real ones are mainly found in #malaysia #indonesia #thailand and #philippines, but @gardensbythebay displays a #unique to Singapore, lego species of this #parasitic #plant. Known as Puspa Langka #puspalangka the official state flower of Indonesia, it was “found” in 1818 in #bengkulu #sumatra but named after #sirstamfordraffles who was the leader of that #expedition. #fakeplants
