#397 - Ministers Shanmugam and Vivian Revealed as Renters of Huge Colonial Bungalows & Blackpink Fans Disappointed by Concert

Last Friday evening, the Singapore Land Authority responded to a series of blogposts from opposition politician Kenneth Jeyaratnam that questioned how Ministers K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan came to occupy two huge state-owned colonial bungalows on Ridout Road.
