Singapore orders social media sites to block content, likely from China-based platform, targeting Indian community

Published by Sam Flores

MALICIOUS EFFORTS TO SOW DISCORD MHA said that it has observed deliberate attempts to spread more of such content in Singapore’s local information space. These are malicious efforts to sow discord by inciting ill will against the Indian community in the country, said the ministry. “This includes Indian migrant workers in sectors such as construction who are here to make an honest living,” it said. “They contribute to Singapore’s growth and development, and are valued members of our society.” The problematic content likely breaches Section 298A of the Penal Code for knowingly promoting feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different groups on grounds of race, or committing an act prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony between different racial groups in Singapore, said the ministry. The offence carries a punishment of up to three years’ jail and a fine. The Singapore government takes a serious view of threats to the country’s social cohesion and racial harmony, including from external actors, and will act resolutely against them, it added. Mr Tong said the government will continue …

Judge temporarily halts Kennedy Center closure and orders removal of Trump’s name from building

Published by Sam Flores

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from closing the Kennedy Center for repairs and ordered the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the building and its website.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled Friday that Trump’s handpicked board did not have the authority to rename the facility on its own. “The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so,” the judge wrote in his 94-page decision, issued on Kennedy’s birthday. “Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.” Trump blasted the ruling in a lengthy post on Truth Social and suggested that for now he was washing his hands of the institution he named himself chair of last year. “I cannot be involved with a situation where danger to the Public is allowed to flourish …

The order book extends toward the end of 2027, according to Bloomberg. The announcement comes just days after the Luce’s Rome unveiling triggered a 6% stock drop and a brutal wave of design criticism online, with former Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo himself telling Italian media to “at least take the prancing horse off.” Orders rolling in despite the noise Vigna’s comments represent the first concrete data point about customer appetite for the Luce since Ferrari showed the car in full for the first time on Sunday.

easyJet passenger orders chocolate and can’t believe what arrives

easyJet passenger orders chocolate and can’t believe what arrives

Published by Sam Flores

The traveller, who posts online as @sophiefamilytravel, shared the peculiar in-flight snack experience after purchasing the chocolate at Heathrow Airport. To add to the strangeness, the chocolate had taken on an odd cream colour, scattered with brown spots throughout. Visibly baffled by the state of the snack, the traveller filmed the moment and quipped: “POV: you’re flying easyJet and this is what your chocolate buttons look like.” Upon noticing the peculiar-looking treat, the passenger approached a member of the cabin crew to enquire whether the sweets were actually supposed to appear that way. The footage captured the crew member offering an awkward smile while shaking their head “no”, seemingly just as mystified by the whole situation. Posting the clip online, the traveller laughed: “easyJet customer orders chocolate buttons on flight and is floored by what they get.” They went on to invite their followers to share their own “crazy budget airline stories” — and it wasn’t long before plenty of fellow passengers came forward with their own unfortunate tales. One passenger joked: “I ordered a …
