Harry Birtwistle, 17-years-old, went down in history as the first footballer who was born in Singapore to sign professional terms with an English Premier League football club.
Harry’s signed with Wolverhampton Wanderers on 27 October.
According to the Straits Times, he was born to a Singaporean mother and British father, and lived in Singapore until he was 13, before moving to England to chase his footballing dreams.
The Singapore Ministry of Defence said on 29 October that the boy’s parents had applied to renounce his Singapore citizenship, and under the Enlistment Act of Singapore, all male Singaporeans are required and liable to serve National Service once they turn 18.
MINDEF said that his applications were rejected, citing: “renunciation should not be used as a means to evade NS duties”.
According to MINDEF, “Mr Birtwistle failed to register for NS as required. He is also staying overseas without a valid Exit Permit. Mr Birtwistle has committed offences under the Enlistment Act.”

Subhas Nair, 29-years-old, is due to be charged on 1 November with 4 counts of allegedly attempting to promote feelings of ill will between different races and religions on multiple occasions.
The police said in a press release yesterday (28 october) and listed the attempts:
The first attempt was back in 29 July 2019, when he produced a music video that was “racially charged”, in an alleged attempt to promote feelings of ill will between the Chinese and the other races.
Subhas was then given a conditional warning of 24 months where he would be prosecuted for his original offence if he reoffends within the time period.
He breached the warning with 3 offences subsequently and is due to be charged for his original offence.
Subhas then allegedly made a comment on 25 July 2020, responding to a video of Chinese Christians who made hateful comments against another community, he said that if Malay Muslims made the same comments, they would be treated differently.
On 15 October 2020, Subhas said in a social media post that one of the Chinese accused in the infamous Orchard Towers murder (which happened in 2 July 2019) received lenient treatment because of his race.
On 11 March this year, Subhas allegedly tried to promote feelings of ill will between Indians and Chinese by showcasing a cartoon drawing of his 15 October post about the Orchard Towers murder accused, during an indoor stage performance.
He was under police investigations at the time.
The police highlighted and reiterated their stance that allegations about the law treating people of different races and religions differently are baseless, and that they can damage the racial and religious harmony in Singapore.

Brandon, or @baerendang on his personal Instagram, is the man behind the @sgcickenrice Instagram account who posted allegations on the platform and kickstarted the entire Night Owl Cinematics (NOC) scandal.
Brandon was revealed by Xiaxue in a TikTok video where she channeled the ghost of Sherlock Holmes and did some research into the identity behind the @sgcickenrice admin. (See below for recap)
Brandon is a 21-year-old student from an undisclosed school, who is apparently very close friends with former NOC influencer @lielnicole, who was herself very outspoken throughout the entire scandal.
He is apparently a TikToker with 52.6k followers on his TikTok profile, and he hosts a podcast with Nicole.
He allegedly started the page after learning about how some of his friends who were working in NOC were treated.
He then checked out NOC’s Glassdoor page (Glassdoor is a platform where current and former employees can share about their experiences working at their companies) and found others who faced the same problem as his friends.
He said that he felt a moral obligation to shed light on the issue.
Brandon claimed that @sgcickenrice merely sided with the NOC employees and demanded accountability from both Ryan and Sylvia.
He said that his intention was to “demand fair wages, timely payment and equitable treatment”.
He then described how things got out of hand and became very “messy” and he found himself turning into a “pawn” and “collateral damage”.
He said that he hopes NOC employees will be spared the brunt of the incoming flak and response from netizens and that he will take full responsibility for what he has done.
He also said that he hope Singaporeans will speak up about similar experiences with such bosses.
At the time of writing, @sgcicken rice has been renamed to @baerendang1 and the profile picture of the chicken rice has been changed to Brandon’s face.

He cited wanting to focus on building the “metaverse” and that their brand is “so tightly linked to one product that it can’t possibly represent everything that we’re doing today, let alone in the future.”
