When DPM Heng 122‑Got: A Nomination Day Comedy Show
Two Weeks In, the Crowd Had a Laugh
Just two weeks back, the whole nation sat glued to their TVs to witness what turned out to be one of the most uproarious moments of GE2020. Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat took the stage at Nomination Day in the East Coast GRC and rattled off an all‑encompassing plan that had everyone gasping—and giggling.
The Unexpected Shuffle
First off, an old‑hand MP in Tampines GRC decided to party hat‑to‑night by hopping onto the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) lineup for East Coast. He was now up against a Workers’ Party (WP) squad that featured the famed Nicole Seah, who’s been back in the game for years.
Victory, but With a Twist
Despite the chaos, PAP pulled through with 53.41 % of the vote share. Many credit the meme‑worthy speech by DPM Heng as the secret sauce. Even more, the very speech was so hilarious that it earned a nickname—“PAP’s own stand‑up routine”—and the DPM himself was known to wink at the audience.
Good Turns Out Bad Lingo
Inside one of the moments, Heng experienced a brief verbal hiccup. Rather than keep it going, he used the opportunity for a good deed: the mishap turned into a $1,000 donation to charity. Talk about turning a face‑palm into philanthropy.
Where It All Began
- The meme was born by a Redditor, u/melonmilkfordays.
- He cracked a cue card for DPM Heng that became an instant class‑act on social media.
- People didn’t just laugh; they shared, reposted, and used the card as a way to poke fun at official proceedings.
All in all, this event proved that even a high‑profile politician can get a laugh and do some good. A great reminder that politics can be fun—so long as you keep a sense of humor fresh and an eye on the cause.
Sticker‑Sized Goodness: How a Meme Became a Soup Kitchen Hero
Picture this: you’re scrolling through r/Singapore, you spot a meme so quirky it demands more than a simple like. Suddenly u/ayam steps in, turns that meme into a vinyl sticker, and hands it out to the community for free.
From Meme to Marketplace
- u/ayam prints the sticker and puts it up for sale on a small online shop.
- Each sticker costs a modest $2—just a couple of dollars to keep the kitchen fed.
- The money goes straight to Krsna’s Free Meals, a soup kitchen in Little India that mainly serves migrant workers.
Why It Matters
The original creator of the artwork, u/melonmilkfordays, volunteers at that very kitchen. They describe it as “a lovely small kitchen run entirely by volunteers,” and note that many guests are hardworking migrants hoping for a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day.
The Sticker Saga
In true Reddit style, the stickers started as a light‑hearted experiment. Now they’re a real‑world example of how a meme can become a tangible way to help people—one by one, one sticker at a time.
