I've whined complained about her here a few times for trying to bring "woke" politics here and referenced this incident so I feel a bit vindicated that she has probably set back the SJW types here a lot with this latest development

tl;dr background - daughter of one of the richest man in singapore gets elected via the minority route as a group of politicians, unironically calls herself an intersectional feminist and lists a marxist as her favourite author, loves playing idpol bullshit and went too far when she made false allegations of the police here mishandling a r*pe case
Redditor here probably sums up sentiments about her 3 months ago well
sorry for posting rather niche asian drama but lol probably an example of people trying a woke brand of politics they might have seen in the west and failing hilariously in their attempts you know you've fricked up when your most ardent defenders on reddit admit you've fricked up
i may laugh but i actually voted for the party she's in so I'm a bit of this Marsey too
but of course i'm glad she probably set back any woke agendas here hahahahahaha

Related question: Is Singapore is real democracy or a china democracy? I remember reading about it as one of the very few examples of benevolent dictatorship:

Kind of a grey area like most Asian democracies. Similar to how Japan is basically a one party state with the LDP but even more extreme.

Higher per capita GDP than Canada and we have a shit load of gold mines and a robust aerospace industry. The Singaporeans have themselves a little utopia there.
