TOC celebrated our 1 million hits milestone by hosting a BBQ at East Coast Park for our friends and writers. More than 30 people dropped by to feast on chicken wings, sausages, beers and satay. The crowd was a great mix of individuals from across all affiliations and ages, and conversations and food lasted late into the night.

There were lively exchanges about the state of politics in Singapore (what else?), how Singapore society is changing, the future of the PAP government, and the roles of ordinary Singaporeans in creating the kind of Singapore that we want to see. And of course, several ideas and suggestions were made about how TOC can improve.

We thank everyone for taking the time to being part of this wonderful get-together.

For everyone who came, we hope you had a good time, and for those who didn’t, we hope you’ll be there at our next milestone outing!

本地留英生遭袭击事件 15岁男落网将被控上庭

我国学生乔诺登·莫(Jonathan Mok译音)在伦敦遭攻击事件在社交媒体上曝光后,一名15岁男子被警察以涉嫌袭击新加坡学生之罪逮捕。 伦敦警方周末(7月18日)在回应《亚洲新闻台》询问时指出,15岁少年被指控在牛津街,涉嫌与“种族暴力袭击”相关的“无意伤害或造成他人身体严重受伤”。 因被告未成年,所以并没有公布其姓名,但是他将于8月10日到海布里裁判法院(Highbury Magistrates Court)聆审。 警方补充,于3月4日被逮捕的16岁少年已经被释放,并没有对他采取进一步行动。他和被告因涉嫌此案,于3月被警方逮捕,而警方尚在追查另外两名嫌犯。 现年23岁的伦敦大学学院生,乔诺登·莫是于2月24日晚上9时15分,在伦敦牛津街因冠状病毒疫情和其肤色,被一群青少年袭击。而青少年们在警方抵达之前,就已经逃之夭夭。 乔诺登随后在脸书上公布有关事件,并附上他的受伤照片。“我感到非常生气……作为亚洲人而成为他人目标。” 伦敦警方指出,他们于当天晚上9时15分接获投报,并于3月份的新闻发布会上指出,受害者遭拳打脚踢,且脸部遭严重伤害。
