#458 - Deepavali “Litter-Free” Banner Removed & Social Mixers Help Singaporeans Make Friends

Was it really necessary to get rid of the banner? Also, in-person social mixers are becoming popular among Singapore youth, in a strange reversion to a world before social media and Tinder. Why are we heading back in that direction?
