This one starts with a title that sounds like I’m about to pick a fight with Primary 3 math worksheets — “Racism in Math problem sums” — but the real punchline is in the description: “In all seriousness, don't give strangers your marbles.” So yes, we’re in that classic Singapore space where something looks harmless (like a word problem) until you zoom in and realise… wah, why like that? I’m poking at how everyday language can carry weird assumptions, and how easily we normalise it because it’s packaged as “just a joke” or “just a sum.” At the same time, I’m not here to do a TED Talk. I’m here to do news comedy — meaning I’ll laugh, but I’ll also make you think for two seconds before you scroll. The takeaway is simple: be a bit more alert to what we absorb as “normal,” and maybe don’t hand over your marbles — literal or metaphorical — to random people just because the situation looks safe on paper. Singapore stories are always like that: the most serious lessons come wrapped in the most ridiculous packaging.
