The Roxy Square shoving incident has sparked a bigger debate among Singaporeans: is it okay to pat a stranger’s child on the head? While some see it as a harmless gesture of affection and friendliness, others believe touching a child you don’t know can cross a personal boundary. We look at the different generational perspectives around physical affection between adults and children, including comments from former President Halimah Yacob and young Singaporean busker Shayne Ko, who regularly interacts with older people during his performances. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #RoxySquare #SGNews #Singapore
The recent Roxy Square shoving incident has sparked a wave of online sleuthing, with Singaporeans sharing unconfirmed information about the alleged shover’s identity. But how far is too far when trying to identify someone online? We speak to Cherry Kiang, who was a 22-year-old student when she was caught up in a similar viral hawker centre dispute in 2017 and subsequently doxxed, about what happened to her and her family — and why online “justice” can sometimes create another victim. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #doxxing #roxysquare #wantonmee
