Reposting a snippet from my latest blog post, you can read the full article here: http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2020/07/raeesah-khan-ge-2020-and-being-labeled.html?m=1
I’m posting more about Raeesah Khan today.
First, a disclaimer. I do not dislike the Worker’s Party.
Of all the opposition parties, I think they are the best. I live in Aljunied grc, and they have done a great job so far. I agree with many of the policy suggestions in their manifesto.
For example, redundancy insurance, abolishing the retirement age, or lowering the age of eligibility for BTO flats, which will help singles and our LGBTQ community to get housing just like married couples are.
Previously I mentioned on my ig stories that Raeesah Khan is not suitable to be an MP.
Today I am going to ask some very important questions which I hope both WP and Raeesah will answer.
I refer to this tweet by Raeesah in the photos.
It appears that she is saying her political views can be summed up by
- Angela Davis’ political views
- Intersectional feminism
Many of you may not know about Angela Davis, but she is a far-left activist, who spent her life sympathising with some of the most oppressive communism regimes around.
She literally calls herself a communist, and was a member of the Communism Party in USA. I think there is no need to explain how horrible communism is.
And of course in order to make any non-communist country a communist state, it would involve total revolution, many lives, and replacing it with a totalitarian regime in charge of redistributing wealth back to its citizens.
She is also a prison abolitionist, campaigning for prisons to completely be eradicated. Where to put the murderers, I can’t seem to find a good answer, because it seems she also is against the death penalty.
Angela Davis was a member of the Black Panthers, a brutal communist, anti-semite organization. In 1970, Angela Davis bought the weapons that were used for a shootout during a trial of 3 black inmates accused of killing a white prison guard. All the black men and judge who was held hostage perished in the gunfight, and Davis fled the state. She was eventually caught.
Even though she conspired to commit murder, the jury found her not guilty.
In short, this woman is the antithesis to the Singapore that Mr Lee Kuan Yew wanted.
This tweet of Raeesah Khan’s talking about Angela Davis was posted only a few weeks ago, but surprisingly enough, nobody is talking about it.
Anyone who knows who Angela Davis is should be horror-filled that a candidate running for parliament is a fan of hers, and claims that the reading of her books represents her political views.
Previously I mentioned Raeesah appears to be one of those radical leftists who seem hell bent on bringing the toxic, cancerous identity politics that America is so notorious for into Singapore.
There are racial issues that minorities face in Singapore, of course there is. It is tough to be a minority in any country.
But instead of discussing calmly and logically what new politics can be introduced to solve these problems or what laws need to change, proponents of Identity politics instead try to make a single race the enemy.
When there are enemies, people unite. Political parties using this method will see themselves get votes if they manage to market themselves as the empathetic ones, even if the politics they impose do more evil than good in the long run.
Society is then split into a them vs us, while tribalistic infighting ensue. If you disagree with this method of classifying victims by their skin colour (when in fact so many things determine a person’s privilege, such as looks, height, family wealth, health, both parents around etc etc), you are automatically seen as racist and the bad guy.
Because nobody wants to seem morally corrupt or unsympathetic, they prop up this system.
Instill this sentiment into citizens long enough and resentment builds. The ones constantly told they are being oppressed will start seeing oppression everywhere. They won’t even try to succeed in life, because they are told they are so oppressed they can never make it. They believe their oppressors owe them.
Meanwhile, the majority race starts feeling angry at constantly being called oppressors. Or maybe they are poor and unhappy themselves, but see that resources for help are only made available for minorities but not them. If they were indeed racist before, this makes them even more racist.
What eventually happens is civil war. We cannot have this poison in Singapore.
Raeesah’s has apologised for her posts, but nobody needed to hear whether she is sorry she was being insensitive.
What people need to know is:
Does she still believe our courts are corrupt as she so insinuated? Does she still believe law enforcement unfairly target minorities? If not, what made her change her mind? Her statement does not address any of this.
Worker’s Party claim they did not see those posts of Raeesah’s. Fair enough. But I do not believe they have done such terrible vetting that they have not seen her tweet about Angela Davis which was so recent.
I wish to ask Raeesah Khan, DO YOU DISAVOW ANGELA DAVIS’ POLITICAL VIEWS?
- Do you believe that Singapore, through a brutal revolution and death, can become a communist utopia?
- Do you think that everyone in Singapore should not own private property and should have equal wealth, the very values communism epouses? If so, do you seek to redistribute your multi-millionaire dad's wealth to the poverty-stricken citizens of Singapore?
- Do you agree that it is only with violence and death do we achieve true freedom?
- Do you seek to abolish prisons in Singapore?
- Do you believe in the ideologies of Karl Marx, or Valdamir Lenin?
As for Worker’s Party, why did you field a candidate who holds extreme left-wing views?
Do you agree with her ideologies and think it aligns with yours? DO YOU ENDORSE THESE FAR LEFT VIEWS??
Please answer these questions. I write all these not because I am a PAP lackey, even though obviously people will say I am. Despite what you think, I believe it is healthy to have opposition seats in parliament.
However, I absolutely do not want to see candidates such as Raeesah Khan in our parliament - she brings with her dangerous political views that can topple the peaceful society we built over the years and is completely against everything that Singapore stands for. As it is, the mindless youth of Singapore are already echoing her dangerous ideologies.
I would rather any opposition joker win than her.

[教育時評] Developing Empathy
為什麼同理於此時比以往任何時刻都重要?
同理(empathy)可以定義為從他人觀點理解感受他人所感的能力。這與同情(sympathy)不同,同情是對處於困境之人感到難過的感覺。在某些情況下,兩個術語有共同之處是因為同理是一種共鳴的關切,其中包括希望人們更好的渴望。
心理學家已辨識出不同種類的同理,主要為情感和認知兩種類型。情感同理心 (affective empathy)是指能分享他人感受的能力。它使我們能夠「鏡像」他人的感受並覺察他們的焦慮或恐懼。
認知同理心(cognitive empathy),也稱為換位思考,是識別和理解他人感受的能力。有效的溝通需要情感同理心和認知同理心兩者,因為它們可以幫助我們建立情感連結並向受眾傳達信息。同理對於協作和領導力也很重要,因為一個人需要理解和預期他人的情感和行為,才能與之工作並帶領他們走向成功。
人們可以看到同理呈現在所有職業中。老師需要靠同理來理解和滿足學生的多樣化需求。研究表明,富有同理心的醫療人員的患者享有更好的健康狀況。警察需要同理來拉近與之打交道的人的距離,來減少以武力處理的狀況。想想當警察缺乏對示威者的同理時會發生什麼。
現在比以往任何時候都更需要同理心。身份政治,政府競爭,甚至是最近的健康危機,都在逐漸蠶食我們的同理心和同情心,導致更大的緊繃,分裂和衝突。社交媒體上有多少發文在強調相互幫助的需要,又有多少在傳播恐懼和仇恨?
⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹
並非所有希望都已失去。我們仍可以懷有和培養同理心。我們可以試著練習:
1.積極傾聽 (Active listening):傾聽並關注他人意見。不要只是簡單地摒除與自身不同的觀點。
⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹
2.破除認同屏障(Shared identity):了解與自己不同的人。與其只關注兩者間的差異,不如考慮自己與他們分享的共同點。想像自己如何能設身處地的換位思考。
⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹
3.制止不平等和冷漠 (Combating inequality and indifference):許多獲得較高社會經濟地位(socioeconomic status、SES)的人有時同理稍弱,因為他們較少有連結、依靠或與他人合作的需求。這並不意味所有富裕之人都對他人的需求漠不關心,但他們可能更需要去關注維持對他人的同理。
⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹
4.閱讀與改變觀點 (Reading and changing perspectives):研究表明,閱讀文學小說(例如《殺死一隻知更鳥》,《老鼠與男人》)著重於人物心理及其與世界的互動。這些書激發讀者理解角色的意圖和動機,且這種的意識可以被帶入現實世界。但是,我認為,所有書籍,即使是非小說類書籍(例如《安妮·弗蘭克日記》)也能做到這一點,讀者不應受到書本類型的限制。重點在以閱讀了解他人的思維方式,從他人的角度思考和「體驗」生活,並將所學應用在自己的生活中。
⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹
因此,為協助學生發展同理這一重要能力,我決定在我們的粉專上發起一個全新的系列:翻轉視界 (Changing Perspectives)。除了定期發布的《時事英文》、《教育時評》和《學習資源》,我們還將分享來自世界各地的人們的故事,文章中會提供關鍵詞、翻譯並向你提出批判性問題以期能幫助各位從不同的角度解讀世界!但是,單單思考並不夠!希望你可以不僅通過閱讀來發展同理,也通過理解和與他人合作將同理應用到生活中來取得成功。

Why is empathy more important now than ever?
Empathy can be defined as the capacity to understand feel what others experience from their perspectives. It differs from sympathy, the feeling of feeling sorry for someone in a difficult situation. In some instances, the terms overlap as sympathy is an empathetic concern, which includes the desire to see people better off.
Psychologists have identified different types of empathy, two main types being affective and cognitive. Affective empathy refers to the ability to share the feelings of others. It enables us to “mirror” what others feel and detect their anxiety or fears. Cognitive empathy, also known as perspective-taking, is the ability to identify and understand how others feel. Both are needed in effective communication because they help us build emotional connections and relay information to our audiences. Empathy is also essential for collaboration and leadership as one needs to understand and anticipate the emotions and behaviors of others to work with them and lead them to success.
One can see empathy present in all professions. Teachers need it to understand and meet the diverse needs of students. Research shows medical workers high in empathy have patients who enjoy better health. The police need it to feel less distant from people they are dealing with and defuse situations with less physical force. Think about what happens when the police lack empathy with protestors.
Empathy is needed more than ever now. Identity politics, government rivalry, and even the latest health crisis are gradually stripping us of our empathy and compassion, leading to greater tension, division, and conflict. How many posts on social media highlight the need to help one another, and how many spread fear and hate?
Not all hope is lost. We can still nurture and cultivate empathy. We can practice:
1. Active listening: Listen and be mindful of the opinions of others. Don’t merely dismiss every viewpoint different than your own.
2. Shared identity: Learn about people who are different from you. Rather than focus only on the differences, think about what you have in common. Imagine what you would do in their situation.
3. Combating inequality and indifference: Many who have attained higher socioeconomic status (SES) sometimes have diminished empathy because they have less of a need to connect with, rely on, or collaborate with others. This does not mean that all wealthy individuals are indifferent to the needs of others, but they might need to be more mindful about maintaining empathy towards everyone.
4. Reading and changing perspectives: Research shows that reading literary fiction (e.g., To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men) focuses on the psychology of characters and their interaction with the world. These books motivate readers to understand character intentions and motivations, and such awareness can be carried into the real world. However, I personally believe that all books, even non-fiction (e.g., the Diary of Anne Frank), can do the same, and readers should not be restricted by the genre. The point is to read to understand the mindset of others, to think and “experience” life from their perspectives, and to apply these lessons to your own life.
Thus, to help students develop empathy, I have decided to launch a new series on our page: Changing Perspectives (翻轉視界). In addition to our regular posting of News English, Opinions in Education, and Learning Resources, we will share stories of people from around the world, provide key words, translations, and ask you critical questions to help you view the world from other perspectives! However, thinking is not enough! Develop empathy through reading but also apply it to your lives by understanding and working with others to achieve success.

To those feeling dejected in their marriage or frustration with the legalities of divorce. Read this.
9 years ago, Dec 2010, I filed for divorce with the WP Syariah Courts.
7 lawyers, over MYR100K spent and 7 years later, July 2017, I finally got my divorce.
Best day of my life 💯 then. Second now, because I remarried 😄
However, the experience was bitter sweet and I am grateful for the support I received, new friends I made and most importantly the opportunity to discover and learn more about myself.
Going through this process gave me a first hand experience with our Syariah system and I realised how flawed, inefficient and backward it was.
Till today, I receive messages from countless number of women subjected to the system and find themselves defeated, disappointed and frustrated.
Hats off to all the NGO's for their hardwork pushing to create systemic changes especially Sister's in Islam. Many can say alot of things about them, but they were the only organisation which I witness fighting for real justice, fairness and to remove biases against women.
Many times I questioned the Universe, why me? Why did I have to go through this?
Halfway through in the 4th year, I somehow received an answer. This was my path to share, support, guide and inspire others so they don't feel despair, they don't feel beaten and that someone out there is truly rooting for them.
I wasn't sure how to help others in tangible ways apart from referring lawyers or to my guardian angel Kak Nik Elin Nik Rashid.
Now, I've decided that if to change the system will be the most difficult thing to do, then let me create a space where people both men and women can exchange their personal stories in a safe environment with the intentions to seek for support, guide, solutions and inspiration from others.
So, to those who are going through divorces, child custody battles, alimony battles, harta sepencarian battles etc join Change. Your choice and share your stories there.
To those who have gone through your experiences (and have come out the other side victorious - I don't mean that you were just successful in court but have managed to turn the adversity into something positive) thus, would like to add value and be part of the solution process I would like to invite you to join too.
It's time for change. Your choice.
Together, we can create a bigger ripple effect so our next generation can have a fairer, more just and unbiased Syariah family Court.
To those of you who have reached out to me over the years and those feeling helpless, this is for you ❤️
