Netizens: Edwin Tong’s manner of questioning Pritam Singh reflects badly on himself
Singapore — Videos from the Committee of Privileges Hearing of Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh from Friday (Dec 10) were released over the weekend, and netizens have commented on the way he was questioned by Culture, Community, and Youth Minister Edwin Tong.

If The Dying Could Speak — Malaysia’s first COVID-19 e-book, dedicated to those surviving, dying, and the dead
To wake up each day and greet another sunrise is a blessing and a miracle. To see and touch the first-morning dew is a joy that gives hope and strength to keep going. Sadly, we have missed more than 30,000 Malaysians who died of Covid-19, and no longer can see the sunrise.
“We are blessed, gifted, grateful and thankful to live another day. But for those who have left us, we feel the loss and the pain. We grieve and mourn, but the void can never be replaced. We sadly miss you all, and we extend our prayers and heartfelt gratitude for being a part of our lives and having served this community that we shared,” as the author I pay tribute in my opening dedication page, of the book titled IF THE DYING COULD SPEAK.
