King(fisher) of all Mascots?: Mascot voting is drawing to a close and, as The Octant went to press, it looks like you may end up rooting for the YNC-Kingfishers.. Raziel Finkleton would be proud. Ratification is set to take place from April 5-7, now with a lower majority of 50%.
Give her a Chan(ce): Ambassador Chan will be visiting Yale-NUS on March 30 for a closed door dialogue, hosted by the Student Government and G’Spot, for a conversation on Singapore’s human rights approach and treatment of migrant workers and LGBTQ+ individuals.
