Public transportation fares are going to increase again on the 26th of December 2026 in Singapore, and this is the highest increase so far when compared to other fare review cases in the past. This is due to the rising cost of energy prices, and to me, that’s just ridiculous considering the recent context that was taking place in Singapore. Read it here.

  There is that empty feeling in me that constantly haunts me because of the fact that most individuals would see me simply as an asset to be used and discarded rather than as an individual.  Read more here.

  I realised that there will always be a group of people who would do better in life not for the skills and effort that they put in or have, but for certain traits that they possess, and it becomes frustrating, especially in a world where competition is key to success. I feel that these individuals received privileges over others because of factors like their race, beauty, athletic capabilities, intelligence, financial background or all of the things mentioned combined.

It's basically a combination and extension, as well as an edit of my articles from Medium, but I managed to flesh out quite a lot, and it ends up being the length of a book. I am working to publish this as my first non-fiction book by the end of the year, hopefully.  2. Nadra (Graphic Novel) - 2027 I am looking forward to publishing this book next year. Right now, I am trying to get a publishing grant from NAC (National Arts Council) and get this out by next year. This is a socio-political commentary in the form of a graphic novel about the Maria Hertogh Riots. It touches on the current issues and challenges that our nation and society are facing while also looking back at the past and what we can learn from it. All art and storyline d...
