Singapore’s Olympics swim team came under intense scrutiny when veteran Quah Ting Wen was unexpectedly replaced in the women’s 4x100m medley relay team by another swimmer, Gan Ching Hwee. Quah has since gone public with her side of the story, and ignited a debate about the fairness of the selection process. Some have labelled her as “entitled” for her actions, but is there more to this story than meets the eye? Elsewhere, Barcelona residents are resorting to squirting water at tourists to protest overtourism in the city. Is this a sign of things to come for all popular tourist destinations, including Singapore?
