When someone describes the math taught in Singapore schools as being too difficult to understand, or complains that young students are unhealthily exposed to an obscene number of brain-unfriendly math questions—“cheem” means “deep” in the Chinese dialect Hokkien.
Ahmad who could hardly understand Mr. Goon’s lessons told his parents: “Singapore math, so cheem. I gave up!”

Get the Singapore Math, So Cheemmug. An instrument of oppression or persecution in the eyes of anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and religious folks, who believe that they won’t be infected because they are divinely protected from any coronaviruses and their variants.
With loved ones and friends succumbing to the delta variant, more and more Trumpublicans and conspiracists in a number of red states are coming to terms that both the mask and the vaccine could protect them from infection and premature death—talks about 666-vaccination or mask oppression have suddenly evaporated.

Get the Maskmug. The slogan the Opposition in Singapore fearfully want to use so that citizens and residents can criticize the authorities, or could stage public protests, without the risk of being arrested or sued.
The “fear factor” among Singaporeans to speak up and to speak out has numbed them and made them politically indifferent—with lawsuits against political critics on the rise in recent years, the Opposition’s promise to make Singapore free again is just a dream for now.

A limerick on the mixed messages mask wearing is sending to the public, be it as a symbol of political rebellion against the authorities, the selfish attitude by maskholes whose inept leader mocked mask-wearers, or as a protective shield against infection even for vaccinated folks.
A maskerick that was composed in the aftermath of mask myths propagated by some selfish diehard Trumpists or QAnonists is:
Three maskholes-finalists emerged for the ignoble “Maskhole of the Year” award.
Donald J. Trump, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz from a dirty dozen names put forward.
From the unholy trinity, who refuse to wear a face mask in public out of sheer vanity,
Whose odds are the highest in clinching the notorious prize on this side of eternity?
Wouldn’t it be a surprise if one Trumpublican beats his vain boss for the reward?

South Africa’s second “variant of concern”—after the Beta variant (B.1.351)—is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta variant, and can apparently bypass some, if not all, of the protection from WHO-approved vaccines.
What are the odds that profiteering-driven vaccine makers would soon recommend that folks, who have recently received their booster shot against the Delta variant, to also receive their fourth jab against Covid-𝜊?

Get the Covid-𝜊mug. When the quality of Singapore math textbooks and supplementary titles took a beating in the last one and a half decades, because both local and foreign math editors were reporting to their oft-clueless bosses, who were recruited under the Singapore-India “Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement” (CECA), many of whom with quasi-zero understanding of the Singapore educational system and the local educational publishing industry.
It’s hard to estimate the reputational and economic costs suffered by publishing houses in the aftermath of the Cecanization of Singapore Math: resignation of editors, frustration of authors, rejection of textbooks, brand dilution, and the like.
