The name of the K–12 Singapore math project that aims to help students who are struggling with school math but can’t afford private tuition, or to prevent the unmotivated ones from dropping the world’s most disliked school subject because they are allergic to the teaching style of their teacher or tutor—“kaki” is the Singlish word to describe a close friend or a buddy.
Unlike teachers employed by self-help groups, who tend to be of the same race as that of the students, volunteers from Math Kaki come from all racial groups and economic backgrounds, who have a heart to raise the mathematical proficiency level of those under their charge, regardless of their race, religion, or orientation.

When some corrupt countries boast about their homegrown oft-half-baked coronavirus vaccines, which even the locals are reluctant or refuse to take, because they were approved while they were still being trialed among a questionable number of human guinea pigs.

The rate at which Donald J. Trump’s conspiracies and lies about fraudulent ballots brainwashes his oft-gullible hardcore supporters to donate to the post-election fund to "protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day.”
Trumpvirus’s infectivity incited both Trumpists and QAnonists to contribute tens of millions of dollars, which could be used to settle part of the president’s bigly debt and to finance his own political rallies, especially if he’s running again in 2024 (assuming that he’s not behind bars by then).

The all-time bestseller the devil hates seeing someone reading it, or the one book leaders from certain faiths would forbid their followers from owning a copy, because its contents have the power to set them free from spiritual blindness and bondage, and to change their lives for the better forever.
It’s not surprising that those caught carrying, much less reading, the Holy Bible in public places, in some parts of the world, could be fined or/and jailed, because religious and political leaders are afraid that the truth revealed in it would undermine their position and authority in leading people to avoid heading to the wrong side of eternity.

Short for “Corona Mathematica” in emoji. The title of the irreverent creative problem solving math book that capitalizes on the fears of the coronavirus pandemic and the world’s most disliked school subject to educate readers that fear in all forms and shapes is more often psychological than logical.
Which is scarier: Math or Covid-19? Maybe after tackling the brain-unfriendly or fiendish questions in 🦠🔢, the irrational fear associated with Math or Covid-19 can prove to be mostly delusional or paranoiac.
