BREAKING: I am in Monterey Park where there are reports of at least ten people shot at a Lunar New Year event. Very little info and I’m still headed to the primary scene. Monterey Park PD & Alhambra PD are on scene. More soon.

Thread of Singapore politicians and their watches.
1) Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong only ever wears one watch, the white dialed Seiko 5 Automatic SNKK87. A really nice $100 watch, and Seiko 5 is a classic. I would change the strap though, since it's folded (scratchy).

Difficult thread, but it may be one of the most important things I've written. We have all seen horrible photos of the Halloween crowd crush (not a stampede—we'll get to that) and complaints about the lack of police presence. But the focus on the number of officers is misplaced🧵
