A widely shared quip contrasts foreign headlines, where politicians push policies that hurt the working class, with Singapore news, which is said to focus on crows in Chinatown that dislike bald men.

Why now: The humour about trivial local news versus serious foreign politics resonated with readers in Singapore.
