Yep, Grayce Tan is back! On Instagram she has 239k followers and thousands of likes for every post she made after coming out from hiding. Isn’t that unfair? Shouldn’t someone complain? Are her “haters” tearing their hair out in indignation? Sorry folks, Grayce Tan is not crawling into a hole and staying there for the rest of her life.
We all complain about POFMA and our newsPAPer, but Singapore is really a land of the “free” – free to kaypoh, free to judge and free to queue to up from Tuas to Changi when there is free popcorn. How do you explain Grayce Tan’s devastating downfall and her current popularity on social media? Let’s talk about this so-called “disgraced property agent”. Disgraced by whom, exactly? By the same bunch of keyboard warriors who probably haven’t had a proper orgasm since the last GE when they voted for the “right” party out of fear? These are the moralists, folks. The self-appointed guardians of Singapore’s imaginary hardcore values. The ones who scroll through Grayce Tan’s feed at 2 a.m. with one hand while typing “slut” with the other. Classic.
I mean, come on. The woman had a colourful sex life. Gasp. Shock. Horror. Quick, someone call the police – not the real ones, the morality police who live in their HDB flats with the curtains drawn so their neighbours won’t know they watch the same content they’re busy condemning. These are the same people who will lecture you about family values while secretly envying anyone who’s actually getting laid more than once a quarter. Jealousy, my friends, is a hell of a drug. And in Singapore, it comes dressed up as “concern for society” and “what message are we sending to the children?”
Grayce Tan, if you’re reading this (and with 239k followers now, you probably have better things to do than read some random blogger’s rant), let me say this with all the sarcasm I can muster: well done, girl. You didn’t crawl into a hole and disappear forever. You didn’t issue some tearful apology video begging for forgiveness from people who’ve never paid your bills or warmed your bed. You came back swinging, posting like nothing happened, because … nothing that happened was anyone’s damn business in the first place.
The self-righteous crowd thought they were getting the closest thing to entertainment they knew. They doxxed, they shamed, they virtue-signalled until their fingers cramped with orgasm. Shiok! But you’re still here, still fabulous, still getting likes by the truckload while they’re seething in their group chats about how “society is going downhill”. Please. The only thing going downhill is their sex life.
Here’s the truth they can’t stomach: most of these moralists aren’t angry because you broke some sacred rule. They’re angry because you lived. You had fun. You had a sex life that was probably wrong but a lot more interesting than their weekly NTUC run and Netflix-and-chill with the missus who has been busy with work at bedtime since 2020. Envy is ugly, especially when it pretends to be righteousness.
So keep going, Grayce Tan. Post the luxury listings, post the holiday snaps, post whatever the hell you want. The 239k followers (and counting) aren’t following you because they’re “disgusted”. They’re following because you refused to let a bunch of jealous nobodies define your worth. That takes guts in this country where everyone’s waiting for the next person to slip up so they can feel superior for five minutes.
To the moralists still frothing at the mouth: get a life. Or at least get laid. It might improve your personality. And stop pretending your outrage is about “values”. We all know it’s about the fact that Grayce Tan is out here living rent-free in your heads while you’re still paying for that 99-year lease on misery.
Stay courageous, Grayce. Singapore needs more people who tell the pearl-clutchers to go fly kite. The rest of us just try to hide our envious smiles. There are attractive, successful and happening Singaporeans after all. Those who dig into other people’s private lives and pass their moral judgements on social media are no different from that Circuit Road chicken rice auntie.
