#471 - Catholic Church in Singapore Clarifies Stance on Same-Sex Unions & Tengah BTO Residents’ Struggles

This past week, the Vatican said in a landmark ruling that Roman Catholic priests can administer blessings to same-sex couples. The Catholic Church in Singapore then came out to reiterate its stance against 'official blessings' of same-sex unions, drawing snide remarks from online commenters. Elsewhere, Tengah BTO residents have been facing challenges adjusting to life in their new town. Is there any justification for their grievances?
