These are not necessarily words one might expect from someone campaigning for a seat in the gastronomic void that is Singapore's Parliament House.  But once in a while, a plate of char kway teow or a stack of prata wedges its way into the mosaic of resident handshakes and party group shots crowding the feeds of Singapore's politicians. Usually composed around a simple meal at a humble hawker table, these photographs depict everyday life as most Singaporeans might recognise it.  Casual update or calculated strategy?

On April 10, the 46-year-old Traffic Police officer was the last of three people to be found guilty of abusing Myanmar maid, Piang Ngaih Don, who weighed a mere 24kg when she died in 2016. She had not been given sufficient food for at least 35 days. When she started working for the family on May 28, 2015, she weighed 39kg. After a trial, District Judge Teoh Ai Lin convicted Chelvam one count of abetting his then wife Gaiyathiri Murugayan to voluntarily cause grievous hurt by starving Piang Ngaih Don. Chelvam, who was her registered employer, was also convicted of one count of voluntarily causing hurt by grabbing her hair, and lifting her body off the ground. His bail was set at $20,000 on April 10 and he is expected to be sentenced on July 17. More than 10 people, including his mother, were seated in the gallery when the judge gave her verdict.
