This is not to mention the significant historical value of Gillman Barracks as a former military site. 🥹 In 1942, Gillman Barracks was one of the last British posts in Singapore to fall to the Japanese. Today, Gillman Barracks has been redeveloped into an arts cluster, making its cultural importance today even more apparent. History enthusiasts argue that such a historically and culturally rich site should be prese…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 6 of 7 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Reaction mix
105 reactions across 11 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 92.4% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 97 | 92.4% | |
| 😢 | 8 | 7.62% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 12 of the 14 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 105reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 14 most recent posts we hold, published 23 July 2026 to 8 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

So… what’s the deal with Maju forest? 🤔 If you keep up with local news, I'm sure you’ve already seen multiple reports on the proposed clearance of Maju forest and Gillman forest. Safe to say, some Singaporeans are NOT happy with these plans. In fact, the petitions calling to stop the clearance of Maju forest and Gillman forest have reached 38,000 and 14,000 signatures respectively at the time of writing. 🥹 Why are…
Why is AI slop EVERYWHERE in Singapore nowadays?!?! (PART 2) 🥹 Yesterday, we looked at the market forces that drive AI adoption in Singapore. To uncover why government agencies specifically have been so eager to adopt AI, let's look at it from a policymaking perspective today! 🤩 We all know that the government has repeatedly called for Singaporeans to learn to use AI, because it has deemed AI as an inevitability. …

Have you ever felt that our nation is becoming too obsessed with AI?? 🤔🤔 Be it an MRT station mural in Singapore, or the most ragebait-inducing scroll through a social media feed, we watch how our country is increasingly populated by plastic-skinned models, weirdly smooth hands, and sterile, uncanny visual compositions 😖😖 What creators and consumers openly call "AI slop" (defined as generic, mass-produced synthetic…

“There’s nothing to do in Singapore…” Hmm… really? 🤔 On the surface, it is not surprising that many hold this belief. 🫠 Whether you choose to chill at a nice cafe or go shopping with your friends, the fact that most things in Singapore are expensive means that you’ll probably leave with your wallet a lot lighter. 😢 At the same time, free events are few and far between. Furthermore, the "basic Singaporean activiti…

It is truly a shame that anti-intellectualism is rife, and critical thinking scarce in a time where we are empowered to be more informed and more knowledgeable than ever. 🥹 One consequence of this is that our feeds are now flooded with insanely cringe, shallow, performative “critiques” of society’s worst problems. Suddenly, our average influencers turn into sociologists, scientists, and psychiatrists that know exac…

Showing the 12 most recent of 14 posts we hold for @engmls. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. 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. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
