Kick him out of Singapore!

3 times, don’t get the end of the world headline! Several of my local Singaporean neighbors you can see them very often (since beginning of pandemic) not wearing masks while on elevators, etc…and I don’t see anyone making a fuss out of it

Oh, deport him already.

So how? He is a PR so can revoke his PR status and deport him? YES? NO?

Whatever happened to the cane?
