See you there! 71.1K views · 260 likes · 10 reposts · 18 replies 07 Nov 2024 After 80,000 simulations the computer has the answer. https://t.co/QMlLrAIxcA 29.1K views · 65 likes · 8 reposts · 3 replies 05 Nov 2024 I am shocked, shocked to hear that the “infinite monkey theorem” smuggles in the assumption that there are infinitely many monkeys. 62.1K views · 2.2K likes · 57 reposts · 21 replies 02 Nov 2024 In Silicon Valley, success doesn’t hinge on whether you kowtow to the government. https://t.co/kTx9CsFmgD 45.3K views · 345 likes · 15 reposts · 15 replies 02 Nov 2024 Relevant @Noahpinion essay: 38.1K views · 95 likes · 2 reposts · 3 replies 08 Mar 2023 @ShengwuLi I don't follow Singapore news much anymore, and I am sorry to hear this being played out. It's pretty absurd, and one reason why my family are in Canada. That said, I grew up relatively poor, and I don't know if you know how tone deaf this sounds. 20K views · 42 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies 02 Mar 2023 When a hostile authoritarian government says they want to 'question' you, it is clear what that means. For the prime minister of Singapore, it's 'rule of law' for thee but not for me. 81.5K views · 405 likes · 33 reposts · 13 replies 02 Mar 2023 A complaint by LHL led to a prosecution against my mother. The authorities used the proceedings as a pretext to rewrite history over LKY's will, to suit LHL's narrative. (This was all years after the will was read and granted probate—LHL raised no objection at the time.) 73K views · 195 likes · 11 reposts · 1 replies 02 Mar 2023 Just today, LHL's government has revealed in parliamentary questions that the police want my parents to come in for 'questioning'. In Singapore, the authorities can hold you indefinitely, under inhumane conditions, without timely access to a lawyer. 80.6K views · 276 likes · 26 reposts · 6 replies 02 Mar 2023 LHL character-assassinated his own brother and sister with the state-controlled press. LHL appointed his personal lawyer to be attorney general, and the attorney general's chambers then prosecuted me over some mild criticism in a private Facebook post. 75.7K views · 277 likes · 21 reposts · 2 replies 02 Mar 2023 (Long story short: LKY wanted his personal home demolished, and demolition would be politically inconvenient for LHL. His brother and sister want to uphold their father's last wish.) 89.5K views · 225 likes · 20 reposts · 1 replies 02 Mar 2023 In a country with rule of law, this dispute would have been resolved quietly in family court. Instead, LHL has abused all the resources of the state to persecute his siblings. 81.1K views · 244 likes · 14 reposts · 3 replies 02 Mar 2023 My grandfather, Lee Kuan Yew (LKY), was the first prime minister of Singapore. My uncle Lee Hsien Loong (LHL), the current prime minister, disagreed with his brother and sister about Lee Kuan Yew's will. 94.7K views · 325 likes · 27 reposts · 4 replies 02 Mar 2023 Many families have vindictive relatives. My relatives just happen to control a small authoritarian government. 🇸🇬 🧵 968.3K views · 2.8K likes · 561 reposts · 62 replies 02 Mar 2023 This paragraph by @Noahpinion gives me a striking sense of deja vu. https://t.co/AI1lu30mca 0 views · 124 likes · 8 reposts · 3 replies 18 Oct 2022
