Both tio bao toh by friends one la , trust nobody

Song liao ? First to release news ?

The friends of her husband who circulated the image that they received should also be thoroughly investigated...

The thrill of being the first one to break the news. Now they have to pay the price for that thrill.

Stupid rite? Both no brains

Imagine this will start a conversation about how harsh SG govt is, but I feel they should get some punishment. Civil servants should know better than to share sensitive info before it's made public. Whoever recirculated should prob get a token fine too...

Wow it is really effective... so clever with controls
