  • Changing people’s mindset, gently but surely

    Lilian Tan is applying for a subsidy for the neutering of Biscotti, a puppy she rescued and is now adopting.

  • Can we be the voice of the majority….one day?

    With the “mother of all elections” just around the corner, coffee shop talk inevitably leads to elections talk.

  • Why we are different

    I was watching a Barbra Streisand youtube yesterday and she quoted Archbishop Desmond Tutu just before her rendition of the song “Somewhere”. We are different.
