SINGAPORE: New citizens enrich Singapore and invigorate its economy "in ways beyond what numbers can show", said Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday (Mar 9).

Speaking at the Teck Ghee citizenship ceremony at Nanyang Polytechnic, Mr Lee said new arrivals bring fresh experiences, diverse perspectives and global connections.

This helps Singapore to plug into the world and thrive as a regional hub and a global node.

"This is how cities like London, New York or Shanghai become great centres of culture and prosperity. They attract enterprising and adventurous people from all over the world to go there, to live and work.

"And the steady infusion of new arrivals sharpens them, sparks cross-fertilisation of ideas and cultures, and creates an environment of constant innovation and enterprise," he said.

Recalling his visit to Google's headquarters in Silicon Valley two years ago, Mr Lee noted that most of the presenters he met had grandparents who hailed from all around the world.

"That is America's enormous advantage – it draws top talent from every continent, and therefore it can innovate and stay ahead," he said, adding that Singapore must always be open to ideas and talent from around the world.

"This is how we became a shining red dot. Because our ancestors came here from many lands, made this their home, and built up this country. And is what we must continue to do, to shine even brighter in future – not just for our own sakes, but for our children and grandchildren too."

MEASURED AND BALANCED

The Singapore government is "keenly aware" of the need to handle immigration and integration sensitively, especially as the inflows are not small either, said Mr Lee.

Every year, there are about 30,000 citizen babies born and Singapore takes in about 22,000 new citizens.

"Even dragon year − last year − still not quite 30,000 citizen babies born. So we do need to bring in more people, more talent, more contributions," he said.

It is therefore crucial for Singapore to manage its immigration inflows carefully by keeping it measured and balanced, said Mr Lee. It is also important to pay close attention to relations and harmony between different ethnic groups, between new arrivals and people who are here, and take in people who can fit in and add to society.

He highlighted various ways Singapore integrates its new residents.

All of them undergo the Singapore Citizenship Journey prior to obtaining their citizenship. The Integration and Naturalisation Champions from the People's Association also run programmes to welcome and integrate new citizens into their communities.

"I hope now that you have become citizens, you will participate wholeheartedly in society, and make the effort to integrate," he told the audience.

"Learn our values and cultural norms, get involved and contribute actively to your communities."

"OUR SINGAPORE TEAM"

Mr Lee said other Singaporeans must play their part too, such as by making friends with the new arrivals who may be neighbours, colleagues or schoolmates.

He also encouraged Singaporeans to be "big-hearted" and welcome new citizens as valuable members of "our Singapore team".

"To help new citizens to fit in − to feel at home here, to pick up how our society works, and how we can live harmoniously together. And to firmly reject those who play up nativist and xenophobic sentiments for political gain, which will do great harm to our society."

Rounding up his address, Mr Lee emphasised how Singapore's success has always been built on its people – those who came earlier from distant lands, their children born here, and those who continue to join the country every year from all over the world.

"As long as we open our hearts and minds, we can together build a nation that remains vibrant, cohesive, and full of opportunity for those who call it home."

I feel like Im taking crazy pills, and literally NO ONE is talking about the theory that a bear killed them both!!! literally NO ONE is talking about the fact that Brianna was a beautiful soul who was struck down in her prime!!! *sips tea*

I do enjoy the claim the funding is to make people go . That's one for the q bank.

Given the number of wh*te males taking T you would think they would get the value in understanding effects of that treatment. The same research is also very useful for things like prostate cancer which can cause T production to go fricking insane and many of us will end up being diagnosed with.

They also really don't get that the admin overhead is engineered in to fund basic research and lab building, that's part of the stated objective of NiH funding not something hidden. NSF does exactly the same thing, in both cases literally a directive from congress. NASA also do it.

Conclusion: chuds hate science, chuds are r-slurred and chuds are a pro-death cult.

Queen are a band when you get a bunch of highly talented, sophisticated, and educated individuals together. Probably why they are regarded as one of the best bands to have ever existed due to the genius of songs like Bohemian Rhapsody. The fact that it is layered and branches a few genres so effortlessly, along with its sale numbers, proves that, objectively, it is one of the best song ever produced. (76)

If I remember correctly, and I have drank a lot since then, the song is basically based on the story of Faust where 5he man he kills is himself, ie selling his soul to the devil and then when he tells his mum about it she asks the angels to save him but he doesn't want this as the devil will bring more pain on to her. There ends up a whole tug of war thing going on between the angels and the devil which is the mama Mia let me go thing. (1)

I think your issue with the song is that you're both not understanding the references or what the song is trying to communicate: it's the story of someone struggling with their identity, specifically after discovering that they're not exactly who they or even those closest to them think they are. The song is chaotic and inconsistent on purpose: the song, like the person, is in a state of flux and metamorphosis.What you say is "shouting idiotic stuff" is just references to very specific art forms you're not familiar with:there's a reference to Commedia dell'arte (a very old tradition of italian comedy theatre with stock characters, including Scaramouche),Galileo is a reference to the real-life man Galileo Galilei (some parents like to sabotage their kids when naming them) who was arrested by the catholic church for challenging their doctrine and vocally supporting heliocentric models of astronomy - this parallels the character in the song doing something and becoming someone that the...

I'm an Independent who voted for Trump. Like Trump ,I'm very tired of war and illegal immigration. I don't like some of the things he says, or how he says it, but I like his policies. Under Trump, America did great in 2018- 2020. (-2)

While it is true that European countries were not holding their own in NATO, Obama initially called them out for it. European countries were steadily increasing their support, and then Trump started making threats to end NATO. When countries are literally making efforts to do what you want, why do you punish and berate them?The current tariffs on Canada are due to them supposedly not helping with the fentanyl crisis, but very little fetanyl comes across the Canadian border, so it makes no sense. Trump has also cited trade deficits, but Canada is one of our largest trade partners with one of our lowest trade deficits, so why target them. Additionally, the trade deal that he is pretending is unfair is the one he negotiated in the first place. Outside of dictator countries, Trump has been openly hostile to most of the world. What is the last war our European allies have started? Seems like America, Russia, and the rest of the dictators are to blame for most of the world's war problems.... (1)

First of Vietnam is a French War, secondly, since the Cold War's end, the U.S. has shouldered the burden of maintaining global stability, while European nations, including Britain, have drastically cut their defense budgets and downsized their military capabilities. The UK has not engaged in a significant independent war since the Falklands in 1982. Every major military engagement involving British forces since then has been either part of a U.S.-led coalition or a NATO mission where American firepower, strategy, and resources were decisive. Even in European conflicts, such as the Balkans in the 1990s, European peacekeeping efforts failed to prevent mass atrocities until the U.S. stepped in with decisive force. NATO's 1999 Kosovo intervention, for example, saw American aircraft fly over 30,000 of the 38,000 total combat sorties, while European forces struggled to sustain even a fraction of that.World War II (1941–1945): The U.S. was pivotal in both the European and Pacific Theaters....

Despite contributing less, Britain has reaped considerable benefits from these wars, while the U.S. has shouldered most of the burden.Global Prestige and Political Influence: The UK has maintained its image as a top-tier military power without bearing the full weight of war costs. British leaders have remained diplomatically influential, leveraging their participation in U.S.-led wars for greater global political clout.Defense Industry Profits: The UK defense industry benefited significantly from these wars, with arms manufacturers like BAE Systems securing billions in contracts due to the UK's involvement in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The U.S., meanwhile, footed the bill for most war costs while British firms profited from weapon sales.UK Oil Companies Benefited from the Iraq War: While the U.S. spent trillions on the Iraq War, UK-based oil giants like BP and Shell secured lucrative contracts in Iraq's post-war oil industry.

Which war does America win? It gave up in Vietnam, Iraq, which it gave to Islamic State, Afghanistan which t gave up to the Talliban, Yemen, where it abandoned allies… It's like fighting with a group with attention deficit disorder. You point out losses but they were all wars the US started. The US does remain expert at starting wars but proves dreadful at ending them.No one is suggesting that the UK is as large as the US. That would be ridiculous. You seem to boast about being larger whilst also resenting having larger numbers of deaths which is silly.Yes we have enjoyed Pax Americana but the US has profited considerably. Abandoning the policy of the last 70 years will bring an end to this. America is not the sole superpower it was at the end of WWII. It is losing status and strength. The ballooning US national debt is dependent on the status of the dollar which is under threat the more that debt grows.

It all started with the AP News article "Trudeau to bring up Trump's threat to annex Canada in meeting with King Charles" being posted to /r/ModeratePolitics by the OP.

The OP posted the following starter comment:

>Trudeau is turning to King Charles for help against Trump's supposed threat to annex Canada, but the king has stayed silent. Many Canadians are frustrated with King Charles for staying silent on Trump's annexation threats, seeing his inaction as a failure to stand up for Canada's sovereignty. Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney pointed out that the King only acts on the Prime Minister's advice, subtly shifting the blame onto Trudeau. Though Canada's antiroyal movement is small, the King's silence is fueling discussions about its relevance.

>

Meanwhile, Trump has been invited for a state visit to Scotland, showing where Charles' priorities might be. The debate over the monarchy is growing, but scrapping it would mean a messy constitutional overhaul—one Trudeau likely doesn't want to touch.

>

If Canada is truly sovereign, doesn't running to a foreign king for protection ironically make it look weaker—even bolstering Trump's statehood proposal?

>

Should Trump ask King Charles to gift Canada to the United States instead of going through Trudeau?

...and, needless to say, Canadian users were not happy with OP.

One commenter replied: "I feel like your questions don't really understand the Canadian-UK relationship. King Charles is our monarch too, as we're (Canada) a constitutional monarchy. He's technically the head honcho, who vets everything through his representative in our government, the Governor General. Functionally: The Prime Minister runs the show, while the GG gives it the thumbs up. So this isn't us going to a foreign king. This is us going to our king. I have no clue how you see that as a potential bolster for US statehood. We don't want to be a US state, we don't want to be a territory of the US. We were the US' best friend, brother really, now we're seriously wondering if the US is going to stab us in the back. Trump asking King Charles that would be laughable."

To which another U.S.-based user, not the OP, responded: "I will say, as someone who doesn't like Trump, and who grew up directly across the border from Windsor, I'm not sure where all this 'we were the US' best friend, now we're angry!' stuff is coming from. Like, Canadians have been vitriolic towards us as long as I can remember; certainly back in the Clinton era. Growing up in Detroit everyone always joked about how the 'polite Canadian' thing was total propaganda, given how we're treated. Your national identity is basically based on anti-Americanism. You've had massive tariffs on us since long before Trump got into office (250% on some products). Even booing the anthem is nothing new. When and where was all this friendliness, exactly...? Honestly, I kind of feel like Canadians are loving that they finally have an excuse to justify their anti-Americanism, IMO."

To which a separate Canadian simply said: "I think this is the victim complex that really unites Trump voters."

Which offended the U.S.-based respondent: "I didn't vote for Trump. Can't stand the guy. For the record, I'd be super angry if I were them and some ally said they were going to annex us, too. But I do think it's funny to hear Canadians acting like it's only now they hate us. It's like their favorite national pastime. And let's be real, if it were any other country but America, everyone would be falling over themselves to separate the government from the people."

Yet another Canadian responds: "If you can't differentiate between friendly rivalry (perhaps even arrogance, if you'd like) and the current situation, then I don't know what to tell you. The best I can do is; family can have a tumultuous relationship with each other. You can say things to your family that isn't polite, but you know not to take it seriously or that it comes from a good place, because you also know that the person cares for you and is a good person. It's not the healthiest relationship, but it's not the worst either. But what Trump is doing isn't that. It's not coming from a good place, the person doesn't care about us, and they aren't a good person. What was 'childish' is now 'dangerous'."...booing happens when one side does something bad. It was rare before, and until further notice should be standard. America is destroying its international relationships, no one should be happy about it. A part of 'being nice' is knowing when it's deserved.

U.S.-based user reply: "Yeah, again, 'friendly rivalry' does not cut it. Maybe to someone who didn't grow up going back and forth over the border lol. Again, I don't approve of what Trump is doing. Like, anything. But don't pull the 'we were besties!' card, like, c'mon. That was never a thing. Look, this is from over twenty years ago...you guys were attacking pee wee hockey players for being American. Children. (Incidentally, I've also been cussed out by grown Canadian men for being American, but that was soccer, not hockey). And again, the vitriol spewed at American citizens (not the government) is unlike anything I've seen directed at Russians, Chinese, Iranians, etc. Heck, your own media recognizes it. Hate us all you want, but own it, don't pretend that we had some great relationship before this."

Canadian response: "Bullshit, I also grew up near the border and we always had a great relationship, occasional shit talking notwithstanding. Canada is pissed for real right now and they have every right to be. You just sound mad that someone else is justifiably mad at you. Like 'you can't be mad at me, I'm going to get mad at you first'. I didn't vote for Trump either, but I don't go around crying like I'm the real victim in all of this."

U.S.-based user reply: "Hey, if they want to hate us, they can go ahead. I'm not saying I'm the victim because the Canadians don't like us, although it's amusing that xenophobia is suddenly a-okay, as long as it's against Americans. What I don't like is the disingenuousness from Canadians pretending they liked us before all of this."

A U.S. user comes to Canadians' defense: "The perpetrators of the attacks that article were Canadian children also competing in the tournament. Random instances of people being peepees to each other is not definitional of a national relationship. Even within the US you'll have this kind of dumb antagonism between neighboring towns. In my highschool there were various very mean spirited prank wars and fights with the school across town. None of this is remotely relevant to the context of a national relationship. I mean our leader is talking about annexing Canada against their whishes and threatening to basically destroy their economy. Kids (or adults) being stupid is not relevant to this."

U.S.-based user reply: "It was more than kids. Look, it's great that your trip across the border went well, but I grew ip with a lot of contact with Canada. Even went to summer camp there and played some sports there. It's just hilarious to me that Canadians are now pretending that they had positive feelings towards us before now. I can assure you that they did not."

Other Canadian user responses:

"The reason (King Charles III) is on our money is because he is our king, he's not foreign. His role is basically as stated, he takes direction from the government and prime minister but does not get involved without them asking him to. The reason Canada doesn't have much of an anti-royal movement is because they have exactly as much influence as we want, they're around for some ceremonial stuff that some people enjoy, but they do not influence our politics. Getting rid of (the UK royal family) would be a colossal waste of money, and probably destroy the fabric of our country, since we'd have to crack open the constitution and all provinces would have to agree on a new one. I'd rather just have a British king come and visit every few years than deal with that."

"'If Canada is truly sovereign'...is this an if now?"

"'Should Trump ask King Charles to gift Canada to the United States instead of going through Trudeau?'...is this a serious question?"

Meanwhile, a few U.S.-based users further fan the flames:

"'If Canada is truly sovereign, doesn't running to a foreign king for protection ironically make it look weaker—even bolstering Trump's statehood proposal?' ...yes. The simple answer is yes. Trudeau has a very poor relationship with Trump. He misplayed his hand after Biden's win and put himself in a tough spot. As a result, he is going through proxies to get good connections with the current administration in Washington. Going to Charles is absolutely a weak move." (Note: This comment spawned an entire thread of drama.)

"Canada isn't a sovereign country because their head of state is still the King of England. They're not their own nation, and never have been." (Note: This comment also spawned even more drama.)

"This is just more grandstanding, the US is not going to try to take over Canada. Trudeau just doubling down on the weakling soy boy image he's cultivated. Go cry to your king. What an impressive leader."

"'Daaaaad, make him stop! He keeps poking me!' Seriously, what is King Charles going to do? Why would Trump respect him of all people? Trudeau already voiced his opposition to this thing Trump's not even gonna do, I suggest he take the win and get on to more pressing business before his constituents remember why he was unpopular before all this happened."

"didn't trudeau announce his resignation 3 months ago? why is he still in office, and running to His Majesty the King over something that's an obvious joke?" (Note: There are a bunch of angry Canadian replies to this as well.)

Neighbor the call is coming from inside the house

Boarding a plane, trying to get home from vacation. It's already 11, I'm not gonna get home until 1 am. I'm like the last person to board. Suddenly people are yelling for a medic down the tunnel. I instantly know I am fricked. I just spent 5 days in Dutch harbor because a fricking eagle got sucked into a plane turbine and then weather rolled in. I am sick to death of fricking airports.

Police and ambulances show up outside. I go to the bar and start talking to some really drunk dude. Eventually more people from the flight shows up and the drunk guy asks what the heck happened and this dude is like "bro I don't want to talk. She died in my arms." He's being all intense and weird about it because apparently he's never seen someone die before.

I guess they somehow had an allergic reaction in a fricking airplane, God knows why. What pisses me off is if they had died ten minutes earlier I would be flying home. Or ten minutes later we would be in the air and I would be on my way there.

Now I'm not going to get home until 6 fricking AM, and my sleep schedule which I just fixed is completely destroyed.

Why the frick do people have to be so god darn inconvenient when they die? What a b-word.

I love these girls so very much, but they're at that stage in developing that their coats are becoming their grown-up hues. Their coats are defining themselves, as well.

If you're too roided up to read all that shit rn this neo-nazi Ruzzian spa has a women only day that alternates between allowing trans women and being BIOLOGICAL WOMEN ONLY

Total doublespeak. Exclusion is inclusion. War is peace.

Including trans women does not exclude anyone. You're not excluded if you choose not to participate because you didn't get to exclude others...

Feels a bit wrong to call it Womens Day when catering to religious fundamentalists, but OK. Mostly just sad really, could just call it for what it is Religious and Biological Fundamentalist Day, but I digress. Probably not worth the time to fight this since it's only one day a month and hopefully it'll stay that way.

Girls I STG,

When people say "pick your battles" they mean this. And this is a battle that should be carefully navigated. That means that atheist white trans women should not be the ones to go against this but instead the trans women in gender segregated religions should. Because if y'all act insensitive you're going to come off as a colonialist and cause more problems than it's worth for a luxury provided by a company that is already trying to accommodate.

Mark my words if y'all go to this without tact you are going to just become fuel for the bigoted machine and they will likely dox you and ruin your shit.

LIVE REACTION:

You should be alright with providing them space. AFAB women experience life differently and sometimes need a space for themselves. This isn't transphobia, it's giving AFAB women a space in a SPA.
