By Zachary Tang
Before it was Alexandra Canal, it was Boh Beh Kang, a river with no tail. Our early settlers could never trace it back to a single source.

The National Day Parade, Through the Eyes of an Indigenous Orang Laut Descendant
By Cheyenne Koh
"This feels surreal. I never imagined that Singapore's Indigenous island heritage would one day be part of the National Day Parade. It feels like an important step in shaping a more complete Singapore story."

Property agent June Ling wants her foreign tenants to feel like Singapore can be their home too. And as the first human connection to finding their accommodations here, she goes above and beyond to introduce them to the diverse mix of people they'll actually be living alongside.
This National Day, June talks about why she believes everyone—citizen or not—deserves to call Singapore home.

A Moral Mezzanine: Returning Home to Massive Attack’s Ban After 11 Nights in Palestine
By Suffian Hakim
“I was steeling myself for the emotional burnout as a volunteer in Palestine.”
“I did not expect the emotional whiplash upon arriving home, where speaking up for the people I’d just stood among got you silenced.”

It's been more than a week since Associate Professor Faishal Ibrahim suddenly stepped down, capping two decades in public office. The public is no closer to fully understanding what transpired.
When clarity isn’t forthcoming, what’s left is rampant speculation and collateral damage.

Tan Boon Liat Building, the 50-year-old brutalist behemoth along Outram Road, was never built to be a furniture and design destination. But as tenants like Journey East moved in and formed a little community dedicated to art, lifestyle, home decor, and design, they made it one.
A place like this feels irreplaceable to some of its tenants, yet it is due to be replaced. How can we weigh the worth of a place beyond the…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
