People: Singaporeans and animal lovers or just general public. Shocked at the cruel treatment of the animals.

Places: Not overt so its not obvious

Perspectives: More people are being cruel to animals as they perceive that there are no consequences and the animals do not feel the pain when they do. I do not agree as the animals also have feelings and they should be treated properly.

Oli London - the internet personality famous for his ethnic plastic surgeries - has been getting political in recent months.

In May, he ridiculed LGBTQ+ support for Palestine, telling Sky News it was hypocritical for the community to be "protesting in favour of people who would throw them off buildings and behead them in the streets", without elaborating further on these claims. And earlier this month, he criticised The View host Rosie O'Donnell as having a "classic case of Trump-derangement syndrome" after she told her social media followers they were in for "one hell of a ride" with Trump back at the helm.

London has apparently made a career of controversy, and in the broad and infinite realm of internet personalities, few are quite as polarising. Born in 1990 in England, the 34-year-old has become famous for his extreme transformations and contentious statements.

His journey to internet fame began with an obsession that many share but few take to the same lengths - an admiration for , specifically the South Korean boy band BTS. In 2018, London featured on an episode of the series Hooked on the Look, which documented the multiple plastic surgeries he underwent in a bid to look like BTS' Jimin.

London's quest for transformation involved more than 30 procedures over 10 years, including nose jobs, eye procedures and forehead lifts which reportedly cost over US$200,000. In 2022, he apologised for his efforts in a video, saying: "It was wrong of me to try to emulate Jimin in such an obsessive way ... I realise now that it wasn't the right thing to do".

But London's story doesn't stop there. He made headlines again in 2020 when he "married" a cardboard cut-out of Jimin in Las Vegas.

But what has Oli London been up to since his "wedding"?

The Korean connection

In 2021, London became the talk of the town once again by identifying as non-binary and later as a "transracial" person. Despite being born white, he claimed to identify as Korean, sparking widespread accusations of cultural appropriation.

Who are involved
The Singapore government (notably Minister Indranee Rajah and the PMO) is involved, as it monitors fertility rates and population strategies. The general public—especially couples of child-bearing age—is also implicated, since fertility behavior is central. Immigrants, new citizens, and permanent residents are part of the equation too, as migration is used to offset low birth rates. (CNA)

Where & in what locations
The issue is situated in Singapore, with data about resident births, citizenship/PR grants, and parliament discussions all happening locally. Policies and public statements are made in parliament and government offices; demographic trends apply across the island nation. (CNA)

My perspective
I see this as a warning sign for Singapore: a fertility rate of 0.97 is unsustainably low, meaning long-term demographic and economic stress (older population, fewer workers). Immigration can help, but cannot fully substitute for having enough young people born locally. The government needs bold, effective policies to encourage child-bearing (housing, childcare, work–life balance) rather than relying too heavily on migration.

Places: Around the world

The sea level has also risen about 21 to 24 centimeters since the previous centuries due to glaciers melting in the North and South Pole. Many sea creatures are facing extinction due to territorial loss. There is also a mass extinction due to climate change, which results in the destruction of the ecosystem
