Nassim Road, Singapore
The exclusive area of Nassim Road in Singapore made headlines earlier this year, when the wife of a Singapore tech founder paid $128.8 million Singapore dollars (about US$96 million), for a house. The house in question was a Good Class Bungalow (GCB), known as one of Singapore’s most prestigious and expensive properties.
Historically, the prices of GCBs in Singapore can range anywhere from slightly over S$15 million to S$100 million. However, on average, prices of GCBs tend to fetch about S$30 million or more. GCB’s are only found in a handful of districts, with Nassim Road regarded as one of the top destinations for the properties. Dubbed the “crème de la crème” of Singapore’s residential address, Nassim Road is also known as the embassy row due to the numerous numbers of embassies setting there. The Embassy of Japan, Embassy of The Republic of Philippines and the Embassy of the Russian Federation are all located along Nassim Road.

UK Conservative Party attacks “white privilege” theories, capitalises on identity politics
The Conservative party-led House of Commons Education Committee produced a report on June 22 titled, “The Forgotten: how White working-class pupils have been let down, and how to change it.”
Its publication is another cynical move by the Tory government to capitalise on the anti-class identity politics of the affluent petty-bourgeoisie, and has been met with a storm of hypocrisy and racialist reaction in these layers.

By “working class”, the report refers exclusively to pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) the poorest 20.8 percent of pupils in January 2021, up from 17.3 percent a year before.
