India — As Pride Month almost draws to a close, we take a look at some Instagram influencers who keep the queer mojo alive the whole year round. These influencer couples travel, live together, and post about their adventures on Instagram.
Hindustan Times got in touch with three such couples – Yogi and Kabeer, Pawlyamorous and Honey Imm Home – names you might’ve already come across on Instagram. Here’s how these couples view love, connections and the paths that led them to one another.
Divesh Tolani and Atulan Purohit have over 60,000 followers on their travel blog on Instagram, named Honey Imm Home. They met at a dance group where Atulan was Divesh’s senior.
In time, they chose to travel to Goa as this encounter lasted longer than their dance endeavours. “But, as we finished this trip, we decided that this freedom is something we wanna feel more often,” which led to their travel blog. “We showcase how normal love is, whether it’s a heterosexual couple (that the society sees more of) or a homosexual couple, like us,” they add.
To make tourism destinations more welcoming towards queer people, they advise, “As a manager, one should make sure that the staff is educated on the part that we are humans too, and are to be treated with the same respect and care that they would treat their other customers with.” The duo researches and produces content that demonstrates to LGBTQIA+ people that they can travel the world comfortably and make the most of it.
Yogi and Kabeer are both radio jockeys who, lo and behold, met through working at different branches of the same radio network six years ago. They currently co-host Shuddh Desi Gay, a podcast on Spotify, as a result of this. “We wanted to discuss what being a monogamous gay couple meant for us. Some of the other popular topics we discussed were homophobia, long-distance relationships and heartbreak,” they say.
“We want our listeners to know that they are not alone, and desi queer people, from simple backgrounds, exist – who talk and look like them. It’s not a western concept.”
Shruti Chakravarty and her partner Pooja Nair document their journey on the Instagram page named Pawlyamorous. “Be persistent with your truth, unlearn shame and accept yourself,” Shruti suggests, to have a secure future with a partner of your choice.
Being able to manage the repercussions of having a publicly queer relationship and sharing one’s experience will be simpler, Shruti thinks, as one gains financial and emotional freedom. “Since people drew strength and solidarity from how we are, we started doing it a bit more intentionally,” she concludes.
These couples use their platforms and the empowerment that they have worked towards, to motivate younger people who wish to live and express themselves freely, as they should.

I bet you didn’t know that in 2018, an innocent Australian holiday-maker was arrested at Changi Airport and charged with trafficking an amount of cocaine punishable by death. 64-year-old Sydney businessman, Philip George Sceats languished in Changi Prison for the next 353 days, under the pall of the capital charge.
Then one day, as unexpectedly as he had been arrested, he was taken from his cell to court where he was discharged of the capital charge and told to leave Singapore within 24 hours. Sceats’ arrest in Singapore on 7 March 2018 and his release from prison on 23 February 2019 was never reported by any media at the time.
It was only revealed when his story was picked up by Australian journalist Natalie O’Brien and published by News Corp Australia on 18 October 2020.
O’Brien wrote that Sceats’ wealthy Sydney family had booked a holiday in Langkawi for him and his wife, to celebrate his 64th birthday. Sceats was to fly from Sydney to Singapore, where he would wait for six hours to catch his connecting flight to Langkawi. His wife, who was in Hong Kong for business, would meet him in Langkawi. His family also booked him an airport hotel room for him to rest before his flight to Langkawi.
In the early hours of 7 March 2018, Sceats arrived at Changi Airport. Just as his passport was stamped by Singapore immigration, he heard police officers calling out his name. The police officers then escorted him to the luggage carousel to pick out his suitcase.
When his suitcase was opened in their presence, two packets of white powdery substance secured by masking tape were found inside the suitcase.
Sceats had no idea how those packets got into his suitcase. The shocked and bewildered Australian was immediately handcuffed and conveyed to Changi Prison.
Meanwhile, the Singapore police had the two packets of white powder, which weighed about 90 grams in total, lab-tested. They were found to contain 39.4 grams of cocaine.
Under Singapore law, anyone found in possession of more than three grammes of cocaine is presumed to have had that drug in possession for the purpose of trafficking unless it is proved that his or her possession of that drug was not for that purpose.
The penalty for trafficking more than 30 grammes of cocaine is death.
On 10 March 2018, the third day of his incarceration at Changi Prison, Sceats was formally charged with the capital charge of trafficking 39.4 grams of cocaine.
Facing the spectre of the hangman’s noose, Sceats’ plight could not be more dire. Fortunately for him, his family had the means, influence, and determination to save his life. They engaged a well-known Singapore criminal lawyer to defend him against the capital charge. They also hired a team of high-credentialed private investigators and consultants to find evidence that would convince the Singapore authorities that he was innocent of the charge and that he had been set up by persons unknown. Sceats’ high-powered team included former high-ranking police officers from three different Australian states.
The team took stock of the many things in Sceats’ case that did not add up.
According to O’Brien, the street value in Sydney for the amount of cocaine found in Sceats’ suitcase was AUD $27,000 to AUD $30,000, but it was worth less than half of that in Singapore and Malaysia. There was no money to be made from smuggling cocaine from Australia to Singapore, so it was bizarre for anyone to attempt to do so.
Also, Sceats was not searched before he boarded his flight to Sydney. But by the time he arrived at Changi Airport, Singapore police officers were waiting for him. They knew his name and his arrival details. This meant that the Singaporean authorities had been tipped-off by someone after Sceats’ flight left Sydney and before it arrived in Singapore.
After working on Sceats’ case for several months, his team of private investigators produced a thick file of evidence and documents. Sceats’ Singapore lawyer furnished the dossier to the Attorney-General Chambers, urging that his client was nothing more than an innocent holiday-maker who had been set-up.
On 23 February 2019, not knowing what to expect, Sceats was brought to Court. That day, a judge granted him a Discharge Not Amounting to an Acquittal. Freed at last from his ordeal, Sceats returned to Australia.
While telling Sceats’ story, O’Brien’s article also related Sceats’ experience as a prisoner in Changi Prison. However, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had things to say about Sceats’ account of his time at Changi Prison. It was MHA’s beef with Sceats’ depiction of local prison conditions that finally earned him a spot in The Straits Times.
On 3 November 2020, Straits Times published an article “MHA refutes Aussie’s claims relating to time in remand here” which gave MHA’s rebuttals to Sceats’ account. O’Brien’s article had stated:
1. Sceats was held on death row.
MHA clarified that Sceats “was never housed together with inmates on death row” but in a separate area meant for remanded persons at Changi Prison.
2. Sceats said: “We were allowed out for 20 minutes at a time.”
MHA clarified that Sceats was given an hour of “out-of-cell” time, along with all other inmates in remand.
3. Sceats said “Guards come past your cell every hour. They don’t turn the lights out when you are on the death penalty.”
MHA clarified that the cells for those in remand are fitted with lights that are scheduled to automatically switch off at night.
4. Sceats said “It was very strict regime in there. If you do something wrong they give you the cane on the bare bum. They say it is like sitting on a barbecue.”
MHA clarified that inmates are only caned for serious offences, such as aggravated or repeated assault on another inmate or assaulting a prison officer. This punishment is reviewed by an independent committee and is confirmed by the Commissioner of Prisons before it is carried out.
5. Sceats said “I think 14 guys were executed while I was there.”
Of all the details that Sceats had told O’Brien about his time at Changi Prison, this was the most chilling.
But MHA gave no rebuttal to that claim.
Was Sceats exaggerating? Sceats was in prison from 7 March 2018 to 23 February 2019. I looked up the 2018 and 2019 Annual Reports published by Singapore Prison Service. In 2018, there were 13 judicial executions. In 2019, there were 4 judicial executions.
Sceats was about right when he said he reckoned 14 hangings were carried out during his time at Changi Prison. No wonder, MHA said nothing about that.
While our national broadsheet’s coverage of Sceats’ story centred on explaining MHA’s rebuttals, Sceats’ story is not about prison conditions in Singapore.
Sceats’ story is a cautionary tale of a holiday-maker who was arrested on arrival in Singapore and imprisoned for almost a year at Changi Prison on a capital charge; and how it took almost a year, during which strenuous efforts were made on his behalf, before his nightmare in Singapore ended.
Singapore may have closed its file on Sceats, but there is no closure for Sceats.
How did the Singapore Police come to know Sceats’ name and arrival details? Who told Singapore Police Sceats’ name and arrival details?
Sceats’ team wrote to both the Singapore and Australian authorities to find out, but no satisfactory answers have been obtained.
“I would give anything to know what really happened,” Sceats had told O’Brien.
As for the rest of us, Sceats’ case raises several troubling questions.
Was the dossier prepared by Sceats’ team of private investigators instrumental in securing his freedom?
Could the Spore authorities have, on their own accord, eventually arrived at the conclusion that they had caught and imprisoned an innocent man?
If Sceats did not have the means and resources to obtain the best available expert help, would he have made it to freedom?
Villains had opened his suitcase, planted the contraband substance inside it, contacted the Singapore police and provided them with Sceats’ name and arrival details. Could what happened to Sceats, happen to anyone?
Perhaps Sceats’ profile and circumstances as a 64-year-old wealthy Australian businessman worked to make him an unlikely cocaine smuggler.
If the next unlucky person to be framed by villains is one without means or favourable profile – what would be his chances of escaping the hangman’s noose?
Indeed, Sceats’ case is very curious, and also disturbing.

Grow a backbone: Public on ex-NOC Ryan Tan being ‘officially broke’

Former co-founder of Night Owl Cinematics (NOC), Ryan Tan, announced on social media that he was “officially broke.” According to Mr Tan, he had lost “more than 90 per cent” of his money and was affected by costs from legal fees, starting up new companies and not having an income.
Netizens however had a different definition of what being broke is. One asked, “Have hands and legs, physically intact cannot find a job?” while another said, “Broke? Nahhh…. Find a better word, he still has that remaining 10% which could very well be a few hundred thousand $$$.”

A video of a man caught smoking in an HDB void deck and focusing on the race of the National Environment Agency (NEA) officers putting him to task is circulating online.
The man appeared to be clueless about the law prohibiting smoking at void decks as he repeatedly asked the officers for an explanation even though he kept cutting them off.

A cyclist on Nicol Highway was caught on camera suddenly changing lanes to filter into another road without double-checking for any vehicles behind him has sparked criticisms among the online community. The cyclist’s behaviour almost caused two collisions if the two vehicles behind him didn’t stop in time.
A video of the incident was posted on Facebook page ROADS.sg on Monday (June 27), with the caption, “Cyclist did not check blindspot before cutting across the lane, which could’ve caused an accident if the car could not stop in time.”
WP MP Gerald Giam: Elections are also expensive for taxpayers
Facebook screengrab Singapore Elections
In a June 28 (Tuesday) Facebook post, Workers’ Party Member of Parliament Gerald Giam (Aljunied GRC) highlighted how expensive elections are not only for candidates and political parties, but also for taxpayers.
The Elections Department (ELD) spent $30.3 million in the most recent General Election, held in July 2020, up from $23.2 million in 2015.
Expats in Singapore face surging rental prices, smaller pay & inflation, even risk being scammed
Singapore opened its borders again in April, after two years of being shut due to the pandemic. And while this should have meant smooth sailing for the city-state’s sizable population of expatriate workers, the reality has not been less than ideal.
First of all, rental rates have seen a steep rise, with Bloomberg reporting some expats being asked to pay a whopping 40 per cent more on the properties they lease. Others are being asked to pay double their rental rates, which means it’s now a property owner’s market, given the absence of rental controls.
Shock waves rippled around the world after the United States Supreme Court on Friday (Jun 24) voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, a decision made in 1973 that gave women the constitutional right to an abortion.
In Singapore, gender equality advocacy group AWARE expressed that it was “appalled and outraged by the overturning of Roe v Wade” and added that it was concerned over the most marginalised and vulnerable in society.
United Nations’ chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted that he was “concerned and disappointed” by the ruling, adding that it reduced both “women’s rights and access to health care”.
The overturning of the landmark decision has been condemned by many international leaders, including those from Canada, New Zealand, France, and the United Kingdom.
AWARE pointed out that abortion has been considered part of an individual’s rights under the law since 1974, as a preventive measure against a population surge and unsafe abortions.
“We are proud to say that Singapore’s abortion laws, albeit subject to certain conditions, sit confidently with those of other relatively liberal countries,” the group wrote, adding that “Singapore has, for the last 50 years, recognised that a woman’s decisions about her body and health are hers to make, in consultation with her doctor and her loved ones.”
However, despite the debased-long recognition of this right, AWARE said it recognises all too well that “no right—whether the right to abortion, to contraception, or to safety—can be taken for granted.
The reversal of Roe is a shocking uprooting of a landscape many believed to be set in stone. It shows that laws, and even constitutions, can be changed by powerful politicians or judges and that it is possible for countries to go backwards 50 years in one fell swoop,” AWARE continued.
The group added, however, that it is assured by the words of Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam in a debate in Parliament on Women’s Development.
“The issue of a woman’s right to have a medical procedure, autonomy of her body versus a life… gets difficult when the issue becomes politicised…
In Singapore, a woman’s autonomy is given considerable weight,” Mr Shanmugam said.
In addition to this assurance from the authorities, AWARE underlined that civil society needs to stay vigilant and carefully guard the ground it has won in the fight for equality, freedom, and autonomy.
“We must make sure that scientific information about the safety of abortion is conveyed in an accurate manner without fear-mongering, and that reproductive rights remain institutionalised and entrenched in our laws and constitutions. We must elect leaders who will protect these rights, and build an overall culture that respects and affirms the right of all individuals to make decisions regarding their own bodies,” AWARE added. /TISG
Fans of power K-drama coupleSon Ye-jin and Hyun Binhad a huge reason to rejoice on Monday (June 27) after the actress announced over social media that they were having a baby.
“I’m still stunned, but I’m living day by day feeling the changes in my body amidst worries and excitement.
I’m so grateful, but I’m so careful that I haven’t been able to tell the people around me yet. To the fans and those around us who will be waiting for this news as much as us, we deliver the news before it’s too late.
We will protect the precious life that has come to us. I hope you all stay healthy by taking good care of the things you need to protect in your life..🙏Be happy💕,” the actress wrote in Korean.
As can be expected, the couple’s legions of fans from all around the globe erupted in joy online.
Some speculated that Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin’s offspring will take after the famous parents and be very good-looking indeed.
“We are really getting episode 17 of crash landing on you,” wrote one netizen over Twitter.
Hyun and Son had already been wedded in name as they are known collectively as “BinJin”. They starred in the enormously popular South Korean TV series Crash Landing on You, which took the world by storm when it debuted in 2019.
When it was reported by South China Morning Post that they had also paired up in real life, the show, already a critical and commercial success, saw its popularity soar.
In February, when they announced their wedding, the actress wrote,
“I found someone to spend the rest of my life with.
Boy meets girl,
recognizes each other in the crowd,
promises to build a future together…
It happened so naturally…
But, isn’t that destiny? 👩❤️💋👨
Please help us celebrate the beginning of our future.🤗”
Has anyone seen this along the orchard road today. If you can hang on that handle bar for 100 seconds they will give you $100. So far no one succeeded till I tried ( probably I’m the only female ) and yeah not that easy as it seems because the handle bar is layered with duct tape and the guy tries to have conversation with you to distract your focus 😂 #fypシ#handlebar#chalenge#chanlenge_tiktok
Ms Eira Shaeira , who goes by @theswag_17 on the platform, wrote, “Has anyone seen this along the orchard road today. If you can hang on that handle bar for 100 seconds they will give you $100.

Behind the challenge is Singaporean YouTuber AimRun. It seems that Hang 100, Win 100 is still ongoing, as he has not yet posted any of the videos of the challenge yet.
And while she did not make it to 100 seconds, Ms Eira won a lot of fans, as seen from the comments on her TikTok.
She said in one comment that the handlebar was very slippery because of the duct tape covering it.
Interested commenters asked her if the challenge will still be there in the future, but the TikToker was uncertain.
Singapore opened its borders again in April, after two years of being shut due to the pandemic. And while this should have meant smooth sailing for the city-state’s sizable population of expatriate workers, the reality has been less than ideal.
First of all, rental rates have seen a steep rise, with Bloomberg reporting some expats being asked to pay a whopping 40 per cent more on the properties they lease. Others are being asked to pay double their rental rates, which means it’s now a property owner’s market, given the absence of rental controls.
Secondly, compensation packages for expats—many of which are still higher than average wages in Singapore—have gotten smaller with the tightening of criteria for worker visas.
Thirdly, inflation is also likely to take a toll on expats, especially those with families, due to the rising school fees of international schools.
Bloomberg added that some expats may also be prey to rental scammers.
People have posed as agents for nonexistent online listings, get would-be renters to pay deposits, and then disappear. The police said that as of May of this year, there have been at least 547 people who have fallen for such scams, and losses have totalled at least $1.6 million.
It appears that expats’ the biggest headache has to do with housing.
They are now competing not only with locals for rentals in prime properties but also with those who have newly arrived in the city-state.
Because of the pandemic, there has been a considerable delay in the construction of flats and houses, leading to a shortage that may take some years to address.
Bloomberg spoke to 10 real estate agents, who said that the rental price for properties leased to expats has risen by 20 to 40 per cent on average, and some property owners have actually doubled their rental prices.
The article quotes Juliet Stannard, director and owner of Citiprop Property Management, as saying, “Singapore will be pricing itself out of being a place where expats can afford to live — it’s already expensive but this will be the tipping point for a lot of people.
No one can afford a 50 per cent rent increase. This is not sustainable.”
It also cites one expat at Bukit Timah whose landlord asked for a 110 per cent increase in the price of the residence he had been renting.
There are around 650,000 people in Singapore who hold white-collar visas or are permanent residents.
This means that many expats are facing considerable increases since leases in Singapore are typically renewed every two years.
But Singapore is not the only city with rising rental prices, with Dubai, London, and New York seeing the same phenomenon.
In contrast, rental rates in Hong Kong have been falling, even as expats and locals have left the city. /TISG

One netizen took to social media commenting that they thought CPF life was a good scheme, except that it had one flaw: the payment is fixed by default despite inflation.
The netizen, who goes by the name of Wong Boon Hong on social media, wrote: “This means for those who live longer, they will start to notice that their allowance is shrinking every year due to inflation”.

‘Is this how much cleaners earn?’ — Shocked netizens share a hiring poster for 6-days a week, 8 hours a day cleaning job
Netizens were shocked to learn that cleaners at food courts or hawker centres were only paid about $1500 a month from a poster that looked to hire.
While it was unclear which food court or hawker centre was hiring, the job advertisement was for dishwashing and dish-collection staff. The poster advertised ‘Hire with high salary’.
18-month-old boy in Singapore dies after suffering high fever and recurrent seizures from COVID-19

Singapore has reported its first death by Covid-19 in a patient aged 12 years old and below on Monday (June 27). The patient had no other past medical history and was previously well, said MOH.
The one-and-a-half-year-old male Singaporean who contracted the virus passed away on Monday; the cause of death was encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) due to Covid-19, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
A man received unpleasant news on Sunday morning (June 26) from his helper, who told him that all of his prized goldfish had been killed by otters.
Unfortunately, the otters may have had ample opportunity to carry out their attack on the goldfish in the absence of the dog of the owner, Mr Lim, as his bulldog had died just a week ago. His rare ryukin goldfishcost $100 per fish, which means his losses amount to around $5000.
In a June 28 (Tuesday) Facebook post, Workers’ Party Member of Parliament Gerald Giam (Aljunied GRC) highlighted how expensive elections are not only for candidates and political parties, but also for taxpayers.
The Elections Department (ELD) spent $30.3 million in the most recent General Election, held in July 2020, up from $23.2 million in 2015.
In 2011, the GE cost taxpayers $13.5 million, Minister Chan Chun Sing answered on behalf of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Mr Chan noted that nearly $8 million was spent on safe management measures for GE2020.
Mr Giam had posed a Parliamentary question on May 9, 2022, about the expenditures for the last three GEs.
He added in his post that the sum Mr Chan quoted for organising and running GE2020 is “likely” to exclude “security, which would be under the Ministry of Home Affairs’ budget.”

“In Singapore, elections are required by law to be held approximately once every five years but can be called much earlier if the incumbent PM so chooses.
This may confer an advantage on the incumbent, who can call elections when the ground is ‘sweet’ for his or her own party.
Be that as it may, an incumbent PM will do well to have an eye on the costs of organising and running an election, should he or she decide to call early elections,” wrote the Aljunied MP.
Mr Chan added in his answer that “Across elections, expenditure will fluctuate depending on manpower, info-communications technology, transport, and other logistical needs.
For example, GE2015 was fully contested unlike GE2011, and more election officials were deployed. Higher logistics costs were also incurred as election equipment such as polling booths and counting tables were due for replacement.
In GE2020, which was held during the COVID-19 pandemic, almost $8 million were spent on safe management measures.”
And for candidates, elections are definitely costly, with the People’s Action Party (PAP) having deeper pockets than its rivals.
The ELD said in August 2020 that the 192 people who had contested in GE2020 spent $9.16 million in total.
Most of this was spent on advertising.
The candidates from the ruling party spent $6.97 million, while the opposition candidates spent $2.19 million.
The total amount of $9.16 million spent by candidates was a significant increase from the $7.1 million candidates spent in GE2015. /TISG

A video of the incident was posted on Facebook page ROADS.sg on Monday (June 27), with the caption, “Cyclist did not check blindspot before cutting across the lane, which could’ve caused an accident if the car could not stop in time.”
The video began with the cyclist on the far left lane and suddenly swerving to the right.
He only took a quick glance behind him as he filtered out of the road.
The cam car managed to slow down to avoid colliding with the cyclist, but its rear camera showed a black Mercedes hitting the brakes abruptly.

The passengers inside the Mercedes could be seen swaying forward because of the emergency stop attempt.
Members from the online community reiterated that Singapore laws should be revised to “protect the innocent and not those who are vulnerable.”
Netizens highlighted it was fortunate that both vehicles avoided an accident because otherwise, they would have to pay for the cyclist’s mistake.
“Some cyclists like this cause unnecessary accidents and got away scot-free while the innocent driver has to bear all the hassle of claiming insurance and car repair,” said Facebook user Tang Poh Hong.
“I think it’s safe to say not all roads are safe for cyclists to use, even if they are not expressways,” noted Facebook user Edwin Ang, highlighting a point made by another netizen that this particular stretch of the road was dangerous for cyclists.
“To be in the correct lane and not inadvertently cycle illegally onto KPE, the cyclist must already be on Lane 3 of this 5-lane road, which is a scary position to be in with fast-moving vehicles zooming past you from left and right,” explained Facebook user Dennis Chan.
Many said there should be accompanying penalties for such behaviour.
“I am a leisure cyclist myself. I do not condone such riding. There should be consequences of law to this. Such as a bicycle impounded for such an errant cyclist. There is life at stake here,” said Facebook user Mason Lee. /TISG
